Illusions of permanence are cutting the very
Depth of this mind while it
Overflows with thoughts and
Never-ending clouds bring
'
Tears to remind how
Knowledge is the whirlwind while
Not-knowing is the silent center; still the
Ongoing winds keep tearing down every
Withered leaf from the tree of my heart.

It begins with just a whisper,
A hint of murmur,
Some quiet tremor
Of warmth.
Growing stronger each moment,
The flutter turns into
A familiar song
Of tenderness.
The sound flows clearly now,
Gushing like waves on
A distant shore
Of silence.
An ethereal orchestra is already
Masterfully performing,
The rhythmic tune
Of affection.
And soon, the unbroken melody
Softly transforms into
The ageless symphony
That is a cat's purr.

When you look deep within Set your tears free now
And see clearly through Let them go running
Eyes of love Like wild horses
Only then can the blessing By singing all the secrets
Of the broken heart Of the open meadows
Be recognized as And catching fireflies
Each piece is One by one
A doorway They will
To your Bring you
Self. Light.

These are not
raindrops
these are my
Tears
falling
moist and heavy
this is not
the wind
this is the
sound of
my Heart
ripped open
or is it
ripe and open
like a bright red
ripened pomegranate
on a tree branch
burst open
nothing to hold in
the little crimson drops
falling
one
by
one
by
one
death
by
birth
by
life

Now
It is time
To give yourself up.
Surrender,
Abandon all struggle,
Thoughts, worries and hopes.
Now
It is time
To be Silent.
Be as heavy and still
As the highest mountain.
Be as light and serene
As the delicate flower.
Now
It is time
To listen.
Listen in pure silence
As if trying to hear the voice of the sun
Rising at dawn.
Listen to the one who hears
And rest in this
Timeless equanimity.

Every element of nature speaks,
Singing a song of silence.
The heart
hears.
The tree next to the bust stop
Has been stripped by the winds
Almost completely,
But I can feel it smiling.
It communicates without sounds,
Words or concepts,
That which is most real.
And my heart is stripped
Naked
From all its layers,
As I listen.
It feels like a warm and loving hug
And I stand mesmerized,
Tearful eyes, smiling...
Riding the bus,
observing
the people,
the same song plays.
Without being aware
They too sing,
The song of silence.
The surface is filled
With different emotions,
Thoughts,
Experiences.
Yet I am diving deeper into the ocean and
My heart smiles again,
Recognizing the familiar music.
Walking down the street,
Hundreds of ants
Running
On the pavement.
The rain has destroyed their home
And now they must
Rebuild.
Walking carefully so no life is harmed,
Again I hear the melody.
It is sung by the ants and the earth
As one.
By now, my heart is laughing.
Dancing completely naked
In no space or place
To a soundless tune
Of an eternal rhythm.

Something is dying
Something is
being born
The shedding of
the old skin
is but the birth
of a new one
The void
is
the falling
and flying
simultaneously
But we can only
grasp
one
side of the coin
at a time.
The silence
in between
breaths
Whispers
the ephemeral nature
of all.
Peace is in the eye of the storm.

To live life in its fullest
To taste the grapes of joy
To drink their wine in glasses
To feel the sweet drops,
And enjoy.
To be enchanted,
Drunken with delight,
To see the brightness of the stars,
During the dark, mysterious, cold night…
I dream of happiness and laughter,
Of rainbows shining in the sky
I dream my tears are turning into roses.
They're dropping on my pillow as I cry.
I dream of green fields, and I'm running
I feel the wind stroking my cheeks.
It dries my tears and softly whispers:
"You must break free of all your fears".
I close my eyes and I am swallowed.
Consumed,
By a gigantic salty wave
And I am floating, not resisting,
I'm only trying to be brave…
Inside the sea, deep in the darkness
I see my past, my present and my dreams,
And there's a voice, floating beside me,
It tells me: "nothing's as it seems".
At times I'm chocking, and I'm drowning
I'm praying for the coziness of death,
But when it doesn't come, I realize that
All I need,
Is a deep breath.

Snow melts
Water flows
Making waves on the pavement
Wet legs.
