Transcendence

is both sought and unsought

the unsought is the reality

the prevalence of grace

through all of our seeking..

But the seeking in our experience

is an expectation that our seeking

with diligent pursuit and care 

will yield a result and reward

of the very happiness sought..

Indeed snippets of transcendence

are found as  reward for diligence

but the snippet soon dissolves

returning we suppose to

its measureless Source...

Seeking soon continues 

searching once more with

reinforced expectation that the

snippet might be found once more..

How many searches we wonder

before an all-at-once discovery

that each of us is fully captured

immersed and made of

the unsought transcendence

we have been seeking...
