A SELECTION OF SHORT FORMLESS POEMS
“Here are just a few of my recent poems. Mostly posted on Twitter because it seems to bring some instant feedback, although like all form, it is all temporary and in many ways means nothing. The modern technological ways are still a mystery summed up by the phrase, ‘You are only as popular as your last tweet.’ Anyway, here are some of my words. I hope they speak to you. I hope they find their way into your deep heart and I hope they support your inner journey.” - Kavi
The inner fire burns what is not true In your life, heart, and mind It burns falseness It consumes the past If you allow it, follow it and serve it And then the fire will end It will leave you naked and true Open, wild and free Ferocious with love And transformed into yourself. --------------------------------------------------- There are patterns at play Invisible tapestries weaving themselves Just below the surface Life, here, now, is the outcome Of myriad patterns all harmonizing As this, as this, as this How can you say there are no miracles When you are one. ---------------------------------------------------- Today, let us not talk of our troubles Or the world We can just sit here quietly together Gazing at the stars as they glisten The heavens as they turn There is no need to speak Our silence will say all we need We can let everything be the way it is This silence will be our prayer. -------------------------------------------------- Oh! this is the beauty of it all The gradual unfolding of the wings The waking up of the sleeping one Don’t be in such a hurry To get to the destination For truly there is none Only the mystery of falling Deeper and deeper Into the unknown The beauty is here, not there. ------------------------------------------------- Inner wisdom Is a million butterflies Locked in a pandora’s box Deep within Each being Opening the box Appears terrifying But brings astonishing freedom. ------------------------------------------------- There is an intelligence beyond the judgmental self It speaks a private and intimate language But we are too preoccupied with our selves to hear it ----------------------------------------------------- I love your fragility And your vulnerability It is where your humanity is But you keep wanting to get rid of it. --------------------------------------------------------
And so many more.
