Hi Friend,
Sometimes this endless stream of poetry that rises up is so overwhelming I slip into a kind of reverie, beyond the human experience and into the essence, into the eternal unknown. I experience it as non local, not even a me having the experience, as though Kavi has dissolved into everything. I know it as the end of any and all problems, suffering and division.
And then of course I return, with things to attend to, chores, the teaching program, the dog to walk and feed and play with, the market place of life with its incessant demands. Yet still more and more that fragrance of the eternal stays with me and there is more gliding through this very human experience.
Enough of the reflection, here are some poems from my depth.
Thank you for reading x
You go beyond For a moment And taste The eternal nectar Of ecstatic perfection You return with a heart Brimming over with love Unable to fully articulate What you know in your deepest To be true So you live in the silence of the deepest knowing. --------------------------------- The old world Inside us all Is dying We can fight that death Or we can surrender into it And see what is born From the ashes. -------------------------------- If the ocean hung on to the waves The way we hang on to our thoughts And old emotions What chaos we would see But no, the ocean is wise And allows the endless movement Knowing that movement Is but a small part of its nature. --------------------------------- The un-met past Is a hungry ghost That appears scary But is only Trying to get attention All energies want The loving embrace of union. -------------------------------- Love with a heart on fire Ablaze with life Rise up like a phoenix From the ashes Of the old you You have nothing to lose Except some worn out ideas Of how you should be or not be. ------------------------------ A lifetime of denial Brought me To the door of acceptance There was no choice But to surrender into it Now the remaining years Are devoted To that ongoing path. ----------------------------- I am nothing, just this A silence that walks the world Here for a time in form I am in everything And everything is in me Humble and prayerful Bold and unashamed Yielded all arrogance And surrendered To the mystery We call life. ---------------------------- Wisdom comes When the patterns Of one’s life Are seen as beautiful Even in the suffering. ----------------------------- I discovered My darkness Was filled with light That single discovery Changed everything. ---------------------------- There are galaxies in your heart Star dust in your mind You are the universe itself Condensed into form You have arrived as a miracle From the great nothingness For a brief moment to experience life With all its myriad joys and tragedies.
** I am putting on a special event to talk about all matters 'Holistic, Healing, Transformation and Nonduality.' It has been a long time since I talked about all this but maybe my experience (years of chronic illness and healing) can be of some use to others. If you feel called, please check it out.
Thank you again for reading.
So beautiful and true. My Heart swirls when I read your poems. Thank you so much. xxx
