Lovers

lovers (2)

Face upturned she weeps tears of joy at the sight of her radiant love..
Looking down he zones in on her to end the quest of his search.

The union even undenied by distance, stands transfixed
As each on its own is complete, yet together, magnify love and joy.

Such is this inner-outer self,
As when connected and accepted,
When understood and revered
The union is second to none..

Radiant beams flow from within
As the source to all is tapped,
The union cherished,
No space for division and no power to deny…

Lovers to lovers
In all their realms,
Search, find
And bask in glorious unions…

The Gift..

rose2

Red rose
White rose
Yellow rose

Of passion and sensuality
Of purity and clarity
Of friendship and warmth

At first they bud
Then they bloom
Slowly the petals cascade on down..

Even when dried and wrinkled
Fragrant of character they still are
So What’s to reflect and enjoy continues to be ever present…

My, What lessons to learn!
What insights to behold!
What awe to witness!

So next time when gifting the rose
Know I shall be returned
Not only to the smile of gratitude,
But also the circle of life
Where true essence never dies…

Pot of Gold

pot of gold

In the most fragile of vessels
Made of the most prolific compounds
Constructed of ingenious design
Desired by its inhabitant until the day of demise…
Is Gold!

This vessel is your immediate location
Outer shell pierce-able by as little as a pin prick
Yet strong enough it withstands all the woes of its lifespan…

This vessel is your means of transportation
Yet no wheels, no wings
And without motion takes you around the globe and back in seconds…

So much is possible in this vessel
So much is attributed to this ‘pot’
Yet comes a time when it will not glow
It will not wonder
It will not move…

Why?
Because without the ‘Gold’
The pot is empty
The pot decays
The pot is dirt!

Amidst the work of the Gold
All attention is paid to the pot
The pot is acknowledged
The pot is revered
The Gold is unknown….
For many the search for Gold is the goal
The search is started, interrupted, elusive
Returning to praising and adoring the pot!!

Focused and steadfast
Still and present
Know your Gold!!
As so long as you have your ‘pot’
So too do you have your ‘Gold’.

Celebrations!!!

IMG_6101

Audible fan fair
Visible beams of grandeur
Celebrations afoot

Clinking of glasses
Laughter and conversation
Acquaintances to life long friendships

Words of acknowledgement
Tears of gratitude
And embraces heartfelt

From bursts of fun to long lasting happiness
From festive frolic to true joy
From momentary surprises to constant enjoyment

Receive and reflect
Understand the possibilities
As time and presence collide

Enjoy the times
Make the memories
Treasure your companions

Oh, what it is to celebrate!
Behold the opportunities!!
And take none for granted!!!

Cold, tepid or blazing hot!!

A pot of boiling water..
How does it boil?
Energy applied increases its molecular activity
Movement occurs
Eventually the water evaporates
Some say it disappears
But no it has just changed
As it reappears as steam and condensation…

We have our own ‘pot’
Our pot is the Heart.
It’s contents?
Love, Joy, and Kindness!

A rumbling starts
The beginnings of a thirst
A wish to feel the contents of the heart.
We know there’s something there
Perhaps solid
Perhaps buried..

As the thirst forms and strengthens
There is a quiver, a beat, and then a rhythm
Finally a flow, up and over the rim
You think your pot will run dry
But it does not.
Your think you will lose your love and joy
But you don’t.
The heart is bottomless
And your thirst is endless!!

Whatever it touches or sprays
May feel a glow and kindness,
It may even trigger another’s thirst.

This power is incalculable,
Awakened it sustains the living
With fervor and zest,
Dormant it silently patiently awaits
With no agenda of its own.

Your temperature setting
Is a choice of your own..
How is your ‘pot’?
Cold, tepid or blazing hot!!

What Difference ?!

    

Old soul
New soul,
Soulful
Soulless.

What difference?

After all
We are,
All
Here!!!

Blessed
Breathing
Brotherhood
Sisterhood.

What difference?

After all
We are,
All
Here!!!

Masterful
Master less
Teachable
Teacher less.

What difference?

Big difference!

Knowledge
Purpose
Appreciation
Gratification.

The dark night now also has the light of day
The endless road has direction
Meaningless turmoil gives way to ease in ones own skin..

Perhaps this is all it is,
The finding of how to be from no one to some one
From going nowhere to being somewhere
And realizing you are your One.
And your journey and destination
Is
You!

Two Words…

Happy Birthday
Best Wishes
Well Done
Good Day
Good Night
Miss You
Love You

ooh those two word-combos!
ooh so good to hear!
ooh to feel remembered!

What of the ultimate two words!
These are not spoken
These float
IN and OUT
As each divine BREATH

Who is it that cares to remember you
Each second
Each minute
Each hour
Each day?

It’s the One sending
The ultimate gift,
The one sending
Life itself…

So, thank you my friends
As we remember each other
On each one of our special birth days,
And learn to remember and connect
To the Ultimate friend
Every Day

Unions…

Mortal to mortal ……
Flirtatious courtships
Declarations of commitment
Celebratory exhibitions
No guarantees!!!

Mortal to immortal….
Quiet undertones
Sweet discoveries
Undeniable kindnesses
Redemption in gratitude
Conjoined through to the end!!!

Immortalized mortal to immortalized mortal….
Exquisite bliss
Surpassed expectations
Plain exhilaration
Crystalline clarity
Limitless appreciation!!!

union

Burdened

Burdened
Weighted
Almost buried…
The turmoil of each day.

Peeking
Searching
Hopefully assertive…
The instinct formed by survived days.

Trusting
Knowing
Resoundingly hopeful…
The infused remnants from days enjoyed.

Reassured
Gratified
Acknowledged…
The understanding from true love.

All in a day
Everyday
The fight is on
The win is claimed…
The gift of conscious living.

Force called ‘love’…

What is this force called ‘love’
Is it a mutual attraction?
Is it opposing forces?
Is it collision and eruption?
Or is it detachment and solace?

It is where life thrives!
It is where color is born!
It is where energy magnifies!
It is where movement is pacifying!
And it is where stillness is energizing!!

When realized in all its facets
Love is discovery
Love is disentanglement
Love is acceptance
Love is actual
Love just is!
