Golden Fruit

5b04be0e95deea75baf2ae22114562dc

There was an enormous tree
In the middle of a field
Bearing a single fruit
Glowing like precious gold

Word spread and people came
They jumped all day
Exhausted
They decided to return home

But since that day
They couldn’t forget
The beauty of the glowing fruit
And all else just seemed crude

And so they gathered again
And decided to build a ladder
But every time they climbed
The tree simply grew higher and higher

In frustration they exclaimed
That this fruit
This spell-binding precious fruit
Was impossible for any man to attain

But one man
Sat under the tree
Continuously muttering
‘Good things come to those who wait..Good things…’

Lo and behold
When the time was right
The golden fruit fell from the tree
And disappeared into the man’s heart

Be patient for not all things can be plucked

The Loving Heart

34024f84a02d994a5d8f0ab326bdf23a

Your heart is one so let your love be the same;
lest pure water is tainted by filth
And the Divine nectar of the sacred vessel
Is reduced to naught but poison drink

Let this sweetness fill your cup
Overflowing in tidal waves
Drowning the world and its people
So they may also feel true love

Love entrenched in another ground
Is nothing but a rootless tree
Unstable and frivolous
Blown away by the faintest breeze

Your heart yearns for Eternal Perfection
Yet you knock on tarnished doors
Let your seeking turn to rest
Fill your heart
With the sacred Presence
Of the Beloved One

Autumn Joy

1a0a7df59eccb97c20a8bc17db44d5e9

Oranges and reds rustle out my window
As dawn reaches in and warms my skin
I lie in the sun, like leaves on the ground
Bathing in the light, worries wash away

Joy comes in the form of chattering geese
Carrying me from summer with their song
Breathing in the beauty of this perfect moment
Peace is flowing through the brisk autumn air

We change as the seasons do
In faith we must accept and grow
Footsteps land just outside the door
Reminding us there is so much more

Be a Tree

This is the world of symbols

pointing to the perfection of higher realms

Learn so that you may reach that place

and move beyond this world of shadows

Hold sacred the image of a tree

A symbol for the human being

representing how we should be

FInd life deep within yourself 

like the roots of a tree

Let that manifest into strength 

like the trunk of that tree

Reach for Truth by way of transcendence

A movement from trunk to branches and leaves

and In your transcendence follow the guidance of Spirit

Just as those branches and leaves are moved by the breeze

By being human you benefit all of humanity

This is the fruit produced by the tree

All of this simply by virtue of being what you were created to be

If I could be anything, then in essence I would choose to be a tree
