true journey

True journey

Does not seek prominence
Or reputation.
Nor does it
take you out
for beggary.

It grabs your hands  

And ushers you into the richness
of your inner fragrance.

when you open up

when you open up
and meet with yourself 
or someone else
with all your heart and mind,
without fear or agenda,
you're making love -
The door of the eternity
slams wide open
to receive endless
waves of light.

Have you ever been a child?

Ever since I saw you, you’re a boy.
Have you ever been a child, daddy?
My daughter said to me this morning-
Yes, I said to her.
I’ve always been a child,
A very grown up child. 
I did not find a word to explain further –
We became deep silence.
Be straight like innocence,
Like the face of clear sky that
Cannot hide its ecstasy
And walk with grace
on the ground
Of Eternity.

the way you fall and rise

The way
You fall and rise -
The way 
You move through
Fire unburnt -
Your courage to
Flow with a deep wild waters -
Shows me something
Very profound -
You
Are a great friend
Of your heart.

The one who can deeply move me

Do you ever know
why you're beautiful beyond thought,
beyond any possible description?
The one who can deeply move me,
the one whose warmth can melt me, 
the one I've always wanted to kiss
plays the harp from inside
your chest.

separation from your own sweetness

You’ve learned
A tremendous amount
Of fear and worries
Ever since you were born.
Come closer to me, dear one,
Until you can see with your own eyes
the full Face of innocence
Don’t compare -
Stop flirting with
what does not sparkle.
Make peace with love.
Separation
from your own sweetness
is the toughest choice
you’ve made.

remover of obstacles

A friend
Is a warm shirt
In the winter- 
A soft pillow
In your aloneness.
A cool glass of water
In the desert. 
A heartsong
When you are still.
A nourishing soup
For deep hunger.
a remover
Of obstacles. 
She-he emerges clear-eyed
And Scatters the confusion
Surrounding you.
You are this friend,
Beloved one.
You are this friend.
