The Passion and Power of Love

                The Passion and Power of Love

 

She (God) Comes To Me In Waves

She (God) comes to me in waves

yet like the sea itself

Her (God's) salt is in me always.

She (God) comes for me

Her body convulsing,

wanting my presence

inside of Her

as if I were really someone.

I know, at times,

She (God) holds me at arm's length

just to look at me,

I know She likes

to play the game of two

but

when She (God) comes for me

like a wave of myself

I feel the crest

of this world

topple

into Her.

Pain Unbearable

Pain Unbearable

i ask "how can i survive 

with pain unbearable?"

of course you
can live, survive
in a world where eating
sleeping, pieing
seem so real
a world of pain 
and suffering
a place to prove
you have been
parted from love

the point is
can you know
that Love
has never left
it wills not to come
in little steps
but to rush with force
to clear away
the false identity held
to prove you are deserving
of the hurt which pins
you to your separate self

No Stain of Sin Remains

No Stain of Sin Remains...

cancer came and went
leaving not a trace...
now feeling but
the strength of love
throughout my world...
watching all unlike
love deleting from
life's pictures...
like white rain falling
dissolving past mistakes...
pictures taken
now unwanted...
cropping remaining photos...
eliminating extraneous sights...
focusing upon the love
that shines so bright...
pictures of abundance,
strength, delight
remain and all is right
with my world...
no stain of sin remains...

"There is no order of difficulty in miracles. One is not "harder" or
"bigger" than another. They are all the same. All expressions of love are
maximal." (T-1.I.1)

Awakening in Stillness...

Awakening in Stillness...

every wisp
of a willow...
every sound
of a fluttering bird...
every splash
of a flying fish...
every twinkling
of a distant
yet so near star...
awakens me...
in my listening
silence of all else
overcoming me
with love...
love shared with all
without the sound,
without the word...
just the being...
just the hearing
each nature's call
saying
i'm here for all
that is all...

God Could Not Have Made a World

God Could Not Have Made a World

that lives in mind believing
separation as real...
God lives wholly complete
duality a place
where opposites meet...
God unchangeable
not adding, not subtracting
not dividing, multiplying. ..
duality constantly in flux...
God consciously creating
like himself...no luck
a world reflecting only love
a world that works for all...
with mind that knows itself
as creator and created all...
a mind
that consciously extends
it's love to itself as all...
receiving love back
from all as one...
this is the real world...
not a place apart
but wholly in
our sacred heart...
a world where
only God exists
as love revealed
without a miss

poker

Poker

betting based on cards

hoping to show…

unwanted cards appear

often confounding mind…

yet filling heart’s intention

seeing the need for allowing

what shows to be blessed…

discarding

all the expected rest…

my mind sees only illusion

not knowing what anything’s for…

allowing "not knowing"

allowing heart blessing

what fronts for me…

blessings may appear

as coming to the one blessing.

or not

when one really sees

playing poker

just a game

only a game

like all other games

we play in duality.

fun for a while

accepting all with a smile

knowing there Is no

winning/ losing

in the oneness of love.

Witholding By One I Love

Witholding By One I Love

I feel you holding back

some wish you have

i feel it blocks my wish

sustaining love

disruptions enter uninvited

unspoken conflict unignited…

my wish to give you all

in knowing this

brings me all

is thwarted…

hiding your desire

will surely set conflict afire

or send us separate ways

neither is what my love

in truth longingly prays...

please oh please don’t live in lack

communication

our only way back

to abundance of our every wish...

spit it out!!!!

hear the music

love longs to hear…

I plead with you

don’t make me blue

confused and ill at ease

resulting in disease...

please tell me heart’s desire

before we both expire…
