The universe holds me
Tenderly in her arms
Gently caressing me with
What i desire
With holding from me
That which i yearn

Taking away and giving
Life, people, circumstances
Dreams, disappointments, hope
Music, tears and catastrophe

Each a stroke
A melody
A whisper of sweetness
Eternal expansive
A drop of pure love

Gratitude
The feeling you have
When you win the lottery
without buying a ticket

Gratitude
a smile in your heart
for no reason
or a reason so small
yet a feeling so sweet
Like rainbows dancing
On a snowy night
Amidst sparkling stars

Gratitude is here
Feel her gentle touch

Smile into the sweetness
live in the openness
bloom in the ray
of simple happiness

Be silent my mind
So we can hear
The whispers of the soul
No thoughts,
No feelings,
No ups and no downs
Just this
As it is
A silence
A knowing
A being
I am with Him
In Him, for Him
In the lap of infinity

It is not possible to erase
Those thoughts, that pain
Those tears, that anguish
Each time i touch them
They awaken again
Like fire from a slumber

Let’s dip gently in goodness

In smiles, in God’s glory
In music, in nature
A little bit here
And then some there
Some sweetness
Some love
Some beauty

Dissolving

Moment by moment
The saltiness of tears
Cleansing the anguish
Healing the pain
Drowning in goodness
All darkness and shame

Tears appear once more
Sweet like a smile
Wrapped in inexplicable joy
Our heart blooms
    And offers itself
        At the altar
                Of peace
                        Dancing
                                with love

The tall tree
with a thousand branches
wishes it was free
to fly
like the birds.

The birds in the sky
wish they could be still
In one place, every day
Get nourished
and grow effortlessly
like the tall tree
with a thousand branches

To be rooted and yet free
To be free and yet centered

The desire of all life
Begins with awareness
And ends in love.

Born of Earth
To return to ashes
In the lightening span
We call this life

I pray
My Master Divine
To make this little light
I call my life
Your own song

Bless the last note
To fall
As dust
At Your Lotus Feet

The best version
Of this moment
happens when we
accept this moment
Just as it is

The smiles and tears
Anger and fears
Arrive and display
The palette of life
We watch and let go
Let the moment be
As still and as best
As only it knows
To be

We remain observers
In the silent stillness
Of love

Watching and accepting
Responding if need be
From love, for love

Come relax and enjoy
Moment by moment
The best version of life
In the silent sweetness of love.
