I lift my heart
To the heavens
And a gift falls
Within
Poetry
I wonder at the words
The magic of the pen
Wisdom of the heavens
My mind
Rises up
To zones of clarity
With poetry
My heart
Dances
In the gentle music
Of poetry
I bow down
To the heavens
I bow down
To magic
I bow down to life
As poetry

Life
Is more precious
Than likes
Dislikes, fun, pleasure
Satisfaction
Of the mind
A succulent slice
Of the fruit of peace
From the
Garden of eternity
This moment complete
Beyond recognition
In the stillness
Of forever
Holding life
In my hands
Silence
In my mind
Peace
In my heart
I take a tiny step
Towards You
Dancing in the moonbeams
Of love

Gorgeous
Big
Juicy
Raindrops
Isn't it time?
For You to come?
Drink up the tears
Of my heart
Hold me
In Your arms
wrapped tightly
with rainbows
All around

Behind the mask
I feel my warm breath
Grateful
For the Grace of life
Behind the mask
I don’t need
To speak so much
Grateful
For the Grace of Silence
Behind the mask
I see her smile
In her eyes
Grateful
For the Grace of smiles
Behind the mask
We hug
With smiles
Grateful
For Grace of hugging eyes
Behind the mask
I see all of creation
In the lap of Mother Earth
Hiding
From themselves
Suffering
Behind masks
I pray
Grateful
For the Grace of prayer
I pray
For front line workers
Leaders of nations
Poor and hungry
Sick and dying
I pray
For people and plants
Gardens and dungeons
Earth and skies
I pray
With folded hands
Streaming tears
Wetting my mask
Grateful
To you
For the Grace of reading

I accept
Your judgement of me
As true
In your view
And
Let it wash over
As a spring drizzle
For you, me
And all creation
Thoughts, views, emotions
Are just that
A drizzle
Star dust
Fleeting fragrance
Light feather
Seeking and living
Unbeknownst
To even ourselves
In the sweet embrace
Of love

I seek
Purity
Simplicity
Of my heart
My very Being
She smiles at me
As flowers
Calls me
With bird song
Cries with me
As raindrops
Hides from me
As rainbows
"I am as you
Everywhere
And always,"
She whispers
In love, as love
Forever
Pure
Simple
Still
Being

Every life journey
Is a journey of love
Some love a special person
Some their family
Village, country,
Nature, arts, culture
Science, knowledge
Inventions, ideology,
Religion,
God
Yet why?
these boxes
Special people, times, places
Let go
Expand
Let love arrive
Dance
In every smile
Glance
Breath
Open heart
Pure existence
Love eternal

On the other side
Of challenge
Is
Growth
Waiting for me
To walk
Through the door
Of love,
With love
As love
Love is
As much giving as forgiving
As much offering as acceptance
As much sweetness as tears
A bubble
Of silent stillness
Lifts me
Past doors of illusion
Into the lap of
Emptiness

Do we need to label?
Our Love?
As
Pure-sinful
Attachment-Detachment
True-impermanent
Do we need to label?
Our life?
As
worthless-glorious
success-failure
Do we need to label ourselves?
As
brilliant-mediocre
skillful-simple
Saint-Sinner
Do we need more labels?
More boxes?
More theories and analysis?
Or
Do we need
this moment
A hand to hold
A song to sing
A bird to watch
A smile
A breath
Love in our life
Gratitude for all blessings
A knowing
That we are held
In the embrace of eternity
A child of sweetness
All is well
In the magical plan
Of the universe
In tender love

i saw two clouds
Joining as one
The shape of a heart
Rays of light
Shimmered from the corners
Light in darkness
Hope and love
"Is that You, my Lord?"
A gentle rumble
Thunder answered
I took that to be a "Yes"
"I love you too,"
I whispered back.
And so it is
My life
Fulfilled
In two clouds, light and thunder
