Dissolved in Starlight
Dissolved in Starlight
Tender is the heart I see in thee ~
Gentle as summer rain
on the blossoming earth;
Kind as one could only wish for
in this world of harsh words
and unthoughtfulness.
The cultivation of the garden
of your soul
is my total joy,
and my undoing ~
So long have I been
asking for you,
that now,
now in your arrival
into my waiting arms
I am dissolved
in the starlight
and moonbeams
of you
And freed into love.

Sacred Vastness
Sacred Vastness
The depth of my love for you
would turn frogs into princes,
swamps into mountains,
rabbits into rainbows.
The breath of my love for you
would heal the starving children,
strike lightning
into the dark prisons of the mind,
shed pixie dust
over the cruel and insane.
The sacred vastness of this love
would terrify the faint of heart,
the weak of will,
the poor of spirit ~
For its majesty
dissolves the boundaries of this world,
heals the paradox of existence,
folds the stars into its glory;
to join, once and for all,
the exuberance of creation.
It is all I have for you.
For the rest ~
I come empty handed.

Witness
Witness
Witnessing the gold elliptical sun
lifting slowly up
ecstatic
out of the pristine lake,
I feel the blessing
of the Goddess
rise through me
as a pure flame
of divinity.
Mind ceasing to wonder for once
what is happening in this moment,
Heart surrendering in utter bliss
as the miracle is received
without question.

Full Faith
Full Faith
Love all
Judge not
You cannot possibly know
the ways of the Universe.
Be at peace
put down your sword
Rest your weary mind
And place your heart
in full faith
unto the Holy of Holies.
Be still
and feel joy,
the joy of life
brimming inside
every cell.
Witness
this magnificent moment ~
And know that
All is well
in the kingdom
All is well.

Velvet Sky
Velvet Sky
She was all about it …
running around being healthy, strong, independent,
showing the world her smile
and fancy cowboy boots,
striding into tomorrow without a backward glance
or sigh of regret.
And then you came ~
and suddenly the crumbling began.
All she seemed to know anymore
was how to cry
into the true sound of your breath,
into the wide berth of your heart span;
tumbling down into your stories
(like rolling down hills, getting all dizzy inside);
Opening unexpectedly inside the warm honey
of your laughter and hers combined.
In the deep purple of the english nightfall,
she dropped into the silence
as she felt you fold your vibrant wings
into a comfortable sleep.
She wasn’t exactly sure what to do
about all this unravelling,
but she was curiously eager to keep going
and see what the next moment brought
and the next.
And when the stars finally surfaced
out of the velvet sky
on her side of the globe,
and she missed your gentle sounding
of her name ~
She danced
liquid by the fire
in the rose – gold candlelight ~
Knowing full well
that she only ever danced like this
for God,
but letting you see her
in your dreaming
nevertheless.

Only One
Only One
I Am only One
yet I Am the Many
See Me in all things
and you are seen;
Love Me in all ways
and you are loved.
Surrender to Me
and all things are yours.

Heart To Heart
Heart to Heart
Heart to heart,
the whisper on the wind
is faint yet true.
This is the one to know
This is the one to trust
This is the one to whom
you are betrothed.

The Visit
The Visit
“Sunrise reflecting off a window”
my logical mind interjects,
trying to figure out this sparkling miracle …
But my soul lifts effortlessly
to greet the golden light,
knowing full well
that God is paying a visit
to his beloved.
And suddenly I’m whole again,
thoroughly washed in beauty’s blessing
one more time.

Elixir
Elixir
I am the joy of your soul’s desire,
the elixir that fills your cup
and overflows from the stillness
in your heart.
I am the rock that never waivers,
though your errant thoughts
may dance across the firmament
searching for home.
You are my beloved
through whom I touch the world
with a warm hand.
You are the one
in whom My love shines immortal,
never to be eclipsed
by shadows of illusion.
You are the child
of My creative burst
of sunlight, of moonshine,
of star illumination.
We are the heart
that never stops beating,
the peace that has no borders
the bliss of the infinite moment.
We are the wings of hope
that lift this world.
I am the love I seek in you
I am the peace I seek by you
I am the joy I seek with you
No more longing
No more emptiness
No more suffering
Only stillness
and the feeling of flight
Only freedom
and I’m finally home.

Quest For Liberation
Quest for Liberation
In each calculated step you take
in your quest for liberation
at the top of the world,
I will be there ~
In the grey rock beneath your feet
supporting your agility.
In every unsuspected mystery
that descends round your strategic plans,
unveiling your innocence
and unbridled ingenuity,
I will be here ~
In the quickening of your heartbeat
Strengthening your lifeforce.
In each moment of sheer terror
and equal bursts of euphoria,
as you climb steadfast
under the glowing full moon
to the rhythm of your spirit song,
I will be in the wrap of the wind ~
lifting you upwards.
And when you stand
one more time
on the summit of your very soul,
I will silently celebrate you
in the crisp dawning of the day,
in the first flood of sunlight,
pouring liquid gold
on the pristine snow.
Gloriously, lovingly, peacefully
I will celebrate you.
And dream you safely home.
