The Coming Storm
The world abounds
with lessons for the soul
– a foreboding sky
with a silver sheen
or a butterfly showing
color before the storm
– a cooling summer shower
or a hard day’s labor
in a staunch humidity
– the winds of change
blowing you on your way
or perhaps you stand your
full of pride, refusing to flow.
The soul delights in
these and other lessons
that this world abounds with.
The Valley Of The Veil
The sacred will come
to you from the inside, like
a reflection of
a mirror – it can only
be witnessed when your
eyes are completely open
and the mind ceases it’s play.
Love will come to you
as the breath enters the lungs,
naturally without
any effort on your part –
it flows in and out
permeating this world with
a gentle magnificence.
In the valley of
the veil, life enters into
the mystical night
elevating the breathing
heart into the sky streams where
spirits soar with the
gilded wings of love, sharing
space with the sacred in life.
Inheritance
We, the people
of an accelerated
heart find love
wherever we
may walk, over
here or definitely
over there, we take
this love with us
always to elsewhere,
breathing as we go.
We, the poeple
of an accelerated
heart have learned
that our name is
the future we seek
to live, that the
virtues we hold to
are constantly
lived to the fullest
imperfection possible.
We, the people
of an accelerated
heart have come
to know a certain
wisdom of the soul,
that our great
inheritance is not
that of money or
possessions, but
that of love and
the giving rather
than the receiving
of it most.
We, the people
of an accelerated
heart give love
wherever we may
roam, breathing it
in from the our
surroundings and
then releasing it
to all we meet on
this path of love,
this path of life.
Climb That Mountain
Take my hand
in yours – interlace
our fingers as
we venture up
that mountain.
This mountain of
our lives paved
with perilous paths
where love is
tested and finally
proven to be an
extension of our
breaths. Let us
climb that mountain.
Take my heart
in yours – synchronize
our heartbeats as
we progress upon
that mountain.
This mountain of
our love paved
with the devious
paths where our
lives are finally
tested and proven to
be an extension
of our breath. Let us
climb that mountain.
Take my hand
in yours – interlace
our hearts too as
we venture up
that mountain.
This mountain of
our love. Put your
trust in me as I
place my faith in
your heart for this
life lived fully
together. Let us
climb that mountain.
Steps
Step after
step, breath
after breath
life passes
through us
bringing every
one of us
– you included –
to the edge
of love where
the moment of
divine intention
is discovered,
that moment of
singularity where
the external and
the internal are
perpetually occurring
to carry our
souls to the
promise land of love.
When Love Unites
You live here
and work there,
you inhale here
and exhale there,
but you spread your
love everywhere.
It permeates the
air we all breathe,
and we become
rightly charged with
love. So we all can
live over here
while working there,
breathing in here
and breathing out
over there, sending
love out everywhere.
I beat the drum
inside my heart,
and I bang the drum
outside my body, infusing
life with music while
I initiate myself
within the troupe of
love. Sending my
internal song out
into this wild world
of rhythms where
souls can merge
under the guise of
dance and hearts can
join in the ecstasy
eternal love.
The Wondersmith
I wake up
continually
to the wonder
of life, for
the makers
of wonder
share their
hearts
eternally.
I wake up
perpetually
to the love
of love’s
greatness,
for the barers
of love give
their love
infinitely.
I wake up
continuously
to the breath
of morning’s
air, for the
sun sings of
life’s radiance
and the birds
sing of love’s
harmony
always.
I wake up
always
to the wonders
of life, for
I’ve found
in you, my love
a wondersmith,
who continuously
inspires me to
see the wonders
in this life, in
this love
eternally.
