Arrival Without Recognition
The poem presents a quiet, paradoxical meditation on journey and arrival. The speaker and beloved travel on without sleep or waking, only to find they are already at their destination. Physical presence fades as silence and absence replace bodily experience. A divine or transcendent encounter remains unannounced, yet may itself be the gift: an "eternal Face" and a formless kingdom offered through love and liminal stillness. The tone is contemplative and mystical.
Read Complete AnalysesAnd we go on and on, neither sleeping nor awake, towards the meeting, unaware that we are already there. That the silence is perfect, and that the flesh is gone. The call still is not heard nor does the Caller reveal his face. But perhaps this might be oh, my love, the gift of the eternal Face without gestures and of the kingdom without form!
