POETRY FOR THE ACHING HEART
This poetry is for those whose heart’s ache, whose soul longs for freedom. I’m unconcerned with the intellect and what it knows and doesn’t know. Knowledge itself doesn’t lead to freedom, something else has to happen. Everything has to fall in, into and through the heart into the vastness of us. Let the intellectuals talk of spirituality in their polite gatherings, I am for the wild road that tears open the veils of protection as we splutter, cry and howl our way to liberation.
Here are some more poems.
There is a natural harmony That weaves its way Through all existence We work with it Or we work against it Against it is suffering With it is grace. ---------------------------- If you keep pushing it away It will keep on coming at you As though it were an enemy If you find a way Of allowing it to come home Even though it may hurt like hell It will become a friend The denied emotion Only has one purpose To come home to love’s embrace. --------------------------- Ultimately we may arrive at the realization To live with it all as it is Changing what we can, attending to what we must, And accepting the rest Yes, the serenity prayer as a living truth "Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace." -------------------------- When seeking becomes longing It moves from mind to heart into being-ness Friend, let your longing itself Be the destination you seek. ---------------------------- You are a portal Through which The cosmic universe Awakens and manifests. ----------------------------- The inner flame Of light Is there Within you Even now Turn towards it With the longing Of the moth This is grace. ------------------------------ At first it seems as though kindness Is coming from us But as you go deeper into it You realize it is coming through us From some benevolent unconditional intelligence. -------------------------- There are treasures Only found in the darkness When you stumble upon them They illuminate what seemed like a cave But is really a cathedral. -------------------------- This is how we live, Between the crown that opens To the higher dimensions And the root that connects us To our earth nature, We are a continuity of nature A torus of cosmic energy A circle of life. Learn to flow. ---------------------------- Don’t be mean with your heart Don’t hold it all back As though love were a limited resource Use it all up, give everything until you are empty And you will discover An eternal wellspring that eternally refills, For the divine loves an empty cup. ------------------------------
