Vanished
no traces of "me" can be found
silence in its simplicity
echoes beyond a starless night
stillness with its depths
fills all movement in daylight
and I cannot find myself separate to it
I am no where
and everywhere I can and cannot see
here, now
always this moment
I am outside of time and time itself
I am empty space and all that seems to fill it
and yet,
I remain ungraspable

May you be showered with love's presence
in the most joyful
and unexpected ways

A mountain falls effortlessly into the placid waters
and sees itself clearly
The water accepts the mountain as itself
while maintaining its body

An unguarded joy washes over me
as I recognize my Self in you
I can no longer contain the love
that I have, that I am, that I so deeply wish to share with you
In that, I have but one desire,
for you to recognize your Self in me too

You gave birth to me
yet I have never been born
I am alive
yet never taken a single breath
I have been caught up in currents of time
yet this moment remains eternally still
I have traveled miles across this land
yet never taken a single step
I have had infinite conversations
yet never spoken a word
embraced many loved ones
yet never touched a single soul
I have cried oceans of tears
desperately searching for love
blindly unaware what I was seeking
was looking through my eyes
I have grieved a magnitude of losses
yet lost nothing at all
felt desperately alone
yet everywhere I looked, there I was
countless lifetimes
incalculable deaths
I am billions of galaxies in the Cosmos
yet I remain infinite emptiness

You
have unraveled my words
rendered utterly speechless
I,
marvelling in the exquisiteness
of this silent symphony,
become your notes

I am the edge and the cliff
the toes dangling over the abyss
I am the readiness to fall
and the terror to fly
I am the wind against this skin
and the life altering decision
I am the falling and the flying
into and above this groundless ground
I am the asker for the push
and the push into its nothingness
I am the nothingness and the manifest
playing with the idea of existence

You have robbed me of my beauty
as your judgments label and discard me
take a closer look
Have you not seen the vibrancy of my petals?
the intricacy of their placement, in and around
and over each other
how my color enlivens this flat and desolate field
You have robbed me of my richness
as your anger at my existence fuels
the chemicals you annihilate me with
take a closer look
Have you seen how the bees simply adore me?
drawn to my hues, while a symphony
emerges from the buzzing of their bliss
Do not discard me
instead sit and rest here with me
in the stillness and the silence
surrender your labels and judgments
and just be here with me now
see me as I see you;
simply and beautifully
Allow the wonderment of what I am
mirror the wonderment of you
let us stop robbing ourselves
of the exquisiteness
that we are

One last glance
we were miles apart
you, swallowed by the night
me, searching for the light
when I finally turned my back
You were everywhere

I will meet you at the table
even pull out your chair
invite you home for a while
to feel the depth of my care
I will pour my heart into your cup
in hopes of quenching your thirst
feed your soul with my love
to satiate your search
I will nourish your desires
by filling your plate
with a delectable closeness
never forcing you to eat
I will listen as you serve me
what you’re willing to share
even if it’s how I’ve hurt you
I’m willing to swallow my share
I will sit with your anger
and the sorrow underneath
the cloth may hide the table
but the scars remain beneath
I will stand when you stand
wishing you would pull me in close
invite you to stay
tell you this heart is yours
I will meet you at the table
but I won’t sit here alone again
hoping you will join me
while starving for the war between us to end
