Surrender your soul
To your self
The sacred center
and
Let the silent sound
Of Spirit’s song
Wash over you
Shhhh! Be still.
For stillness saves
Those in need
Giving wings
To whispered prayers
self
Precious Tears
How many precious tears have you wasted
Overwhelmed
With the world on your shoulders
Expecting to crumble in despair?
How many precious tears have you wasted
Insecure
Awake living in a nightmare
Dreaming of struggles you can’t endure?
How many precious tears have you wasted
Afraid
Sitting under a dark clouded sky
Filled with a sense of impending doom?
How many precious tears have you wasted?
Worried
Sobbing late into the night
Expecting unknown hells to occur?
How many precious tears have you wasted
Anxious
Over people, sickness and all
Poisoning yourself with a million fears?
How many precious tears have you wasted
On this nothing of a world
When you have been made its master
And it answers to your every call?
There is freedom in your soul!
There is freedom in your soul!
Go deep within my love
There is freedom in your soul
If I told you what you are
You wouldn’t believe a word
Experience it for yourself
Become the Light from which you were born
O’ child of the Beloved one
O’ noble human being
The beauty that is you
Lies beyond the horizon of these words
Give up your false self
Be done with your ‘i’
It takes courage and faith
But surrender begets the deepest peace
Stop wasting your tears
On the lies of your mind
Your heart knows the Truth
With trust, all will be fine
There is no cause for fear
When the most Beloved One
Is forever present
Within you and without
Open yourself up to the heavens
Receive the key to your soul
Live how you were born to live
Consumed in Love, Light, and Truth

A great big thank you to Belinda at http://busymindthinking.com/ for the inspiration. I don’t think it’s exactly what she had in mind but it’s what came to me 🙂
My One Everything
He created all the worlds
With a single gracious breath
A Word dripping with mercy
The Giver of Life!
Manifested everywhere
Greater in His beauty still
The reason I roam speechless
The One who captivates!
A burning thirst embedded
In the depths of every soul
Satisfied with nothing but
The most Perfect One!
The reason I dance in joy
The reason I feel this peace
The reason I love what’s His
My One everything!
Hiding Miracle
Come out from there my dearest one
There is no place to hide
For what you seek to escape
Is nothing but you
Fall in love with yourself
Do it head over heels!
There’s a Beauty deep within
Blinding evil eyes that stare
Lull your mind to sleep
Hush your desires still
Let your courage come alive
Born from the light of faith inside
Divorce your false self
Let your soul rein free
It will fall over laughing
Looking at the face of fear
You have everything you need
There’s no need to be afraid
Come out, come out and
Experience the miracle that is You

You Are The Light
Spirit
Flows like a seed
Entering human wombs
Bearing birth to the Life we call
The Soul
The two combine
And the real you is born
A brilliant Light that shines brighter
With every day of growth
Until the day arrives
That you finally see
You are the Light
That Illuminates
The whole universe

Naught But a Seeker
I wandered for many years
A thousand rising suns
A thousand silent nights
I journeyed like the ocean
Moving from shore to shore
Every now and then
I would come across some people
With my unshaven beard
and worn out sandals
They would beg the question
I would answer proudly
‘I am naught but a seeker!’
And they would always be impressed
One day
As I continued to travel
(without a compass)
I met a man with a musky scent
Clean cut and brand new clothes
He sat on a meadow green bed
Watching the sky sail by
As I approached him
He turned to me and asked…
Judgingly
I replied proudly
‘You wouldn’t understand’
Yet, he insisted and argued
‘What harm could an answer cause?’
And so I said,
without thinking
For my tongue had
Memorized the words
‘I am naught but a seeker!’
He asked gently
‘What is it that you seek?’
I hesitated
Thought for a while
And in a half life
I said
‘I seek a treasure buried so deep
The world calls it an ancient myth
I seek the rays of the sun
That will bring life to my soul
I seek self knowledge
That is, knowledge of the Self
I seek real love
That is, love of the Real
I seek the universe in a grain
And a grain that’s the universe!’
With a great smile
The man unwrapped his hand
And presented a golden key
Pointing to a mountain
He said to me
‘There is a door up there
It will give you everything you seek’
I replied indignant,
‘Please keep your key
I already told you once
I am naught but a seeker!’
My Love
My eyes swell up in tears when I think of you, my Love
Like leaves covered in drops of dew
My heart jumps up in delight when I think of you, my Love
Like flowers at the first sight of spring
My soul is filled with strength when I think of you, my Love
Like lions protecting their precious cubs
I become nothing when I think of you, my Love
Like moths burned in their love of flames
I become everything when I think of you, my Love
Like the rare souls that find you
Within themselves and without
My Pain, My Anguish
My pain, my anguish
Is dearer to me than a hundred sons and hoards of gold
Is sweeter to me than the nectar of celestial fruits
Is worth more than angels sent from paradisal abodes
Only in madness would I barter it for all the worlds
My pain, my anguish
Dragged me straight through hell
And unlocked the doors to my soul
I was forced to discover the peace inside
Hidden in the depths of what I thought was self
My pain, my anguish
I give thanks for in the darkness of night
It has softened my heart and made me wise
It has created a path on which I stroll
Letting me know of this illusionary world
My pain my anguish is only my Love disguised
My pain my anguish is my joy and pride
My pain my anguish made me who I am
My pain my anguish has brought me a peaceful life
Your Prison
You’re locked up in a prison
Rotting slowly in a jail
It’s amazing how
You’re the officer
Hands tightly clenching the key
There’s a world beyond yourself
One you won’t believe
There the sky is made of love
Raining down in laughter
Growing meadows that are free
And a brilliant shining sun
Smiling down without its teeth
Dig a tunnel in this world
Leave alone it’s childish games
Making you believe
You can really catch your tail
Don’t run around in circles
Ascend straight to the sky
Don’t carry all your weight
Leave all your baggage behind
Fly in the moment
On the wings of faith and trust
Run away from your dream world
And enter the realm of Truth
Why Me?
Blinded to our blessings
We glare at our problems
With a bitter taste
Always wondering,
‘Why me?’
We stare at others
Turned green with envy
Thinking he or she
Is unshackled by
‘Why me?’
On the ARK of Noah
We share a boat and sea
With angels and demons
We fight our battles, day to day…
Comparison paints a picture
distorted and incomplete
O’ the irony!
That he or she
Is glaring back
Blinded by your light
Thinking
‘Why me?’
