When he said there is no soul no God
I think he meant no separate self
But who did he think was thinking this
When he spoke about nothingness
I think he meant the names of all things
And yet he stood alone in his being
Taking mind as far as it could go
Up to that point for a particular people
Seeing clearly there was as yet
Not a single I on the earth and nothing
To do but sweep out the stables
Which he did faithfully every night
I can't imagine his blissful surprise
At that first radiance of the light
