the name of the sky

You said
You did not want to know
the name of
that sky.

You said
You did not want to know
the name of
those stars.

You said
You did not want to know
the name of
This tree.

This tells me something very profound, dear one.
Through you,
The earth's beauty is finding her center within us.
Through you
This being human is flowering
And soaring above nametags and

mentally constructed labels.

a beehive

I am a beehive in the wilderness
You're a dense, dark honey
inhabiting my equator.
A brief remembrance of you
sweetens my whole being and turns
my heart into the ocean.
This is when I start forgetting small details
such as my grocery list or wearing my watch
or marking my calendar.
Is it possible to be confined in a cage
and count nickels and dimes
when being in your presence just for a moment
alters the laws of gravity?

lion's mane

Your fear conspires with your feelings
of incompleteness and  makes you run away from yourself
and enter a relationship or join the army or a group.
No matter how fast you cling to ,
you will continue to feel the pain of separation
because you are looking for meaning
in your thoughts and not
in your heart.

total surrender

To come home
You don't need
a thousand legs.
Two legs will do.
You don't even need legs.
It is enough if you have
the slightest trust
and total surrender.

I am a harp

I am a harp
wildly on fire by the touch
of your beautiful hand.
Please, come play
me again.

I flow through all beings

I once
had a large human form,
spoke eloquently and served my township
as a clergy.
one day you shone straight
into my face and said:
This is not enough. you can do more.
My lips stopped talking.
I melted and vanished completely.
Now I flow through all beings like
a water fountain.

The wild mule

This morning
I said to the sun
residing deep in the body: -
I want intoxication.
Who wants intoxication?
She wanted confirmation
The wild mule inside of me
wants intoxication. I said.
I am glad you asked. She said
She opened up fully and
Asked me to enter.
I did as she said.
I don’t remember for how long I was inside.
Does time exist when you’re inside love?
Now
All that I have learned
All the urge of kicking and restlessness
All the sign of resignation
All that I knew and treasured
Have been transformed
into a pure light.
