The Ring of Love

Standard


Upon her fragile finger bare
the ring of love did I place there.
It’s radiance of pure delight
did chase the shadows from the night.

Her eyes and mine both did embrace
the lovely fire reflecting grace.
A band of gold, a flash of silver
within the mantle’s frame did quiver.

The ring adorned her regal hand.
My eyes beheld her face so grand.
A whisper through eternity
did bring my love at last to me.

For whispers song so sweet did call
a messenger for The Greatest of All.
In loves pure innocence arrived
a desire impossible to contrive.

Oh sing sweet melody our lover’s song.
For within your arms do I belong.
At last deliver before my eyes
your Self, my love without compromise.

Imagine not a moment alone
for within our destiny have we grown.
Together, united, a place in the sun
a
re worlds of brilliance conceived by The One.

Powerful letters delivered to thee
upon Love’s kind ethers do you receive me.
A vow never broken, a piece of a poem
in union, communion in our holy home.

You recognize this soul song of our love
with openness receive great gifts from above.
Desire without vision of how this will be,
made manifest under the stars we will see.

The ring it encloses a message of hope
carried down through the ages like a life-giving rope.
The peace of a pearl, the power of gold,
under no circumstances shall the ruby be sold.

Place it upon your finger divine
and allow all the love within you to shine.
Deliver this ring crowned upon your sweet hand
so we may travel the oceans and cross over the land.

 

January 1998

 

After my daughter found a ruby and gold ring at the beach, she gave it to me and I wore it often.  This came through me spontaneously and rapidly…as fast as I could write and is unedited.  Perhaps a  message from beyond time and space held within the ring.

 

 

Our Deepest Prayer

Standard

Let silence be our deepest prayer…after all, what can be said that The Beloved does not already know?  Spoken prayers are old news to The One who gave rise to them to begin with.

Yes, better silent, open and free to receive the Self.  How else will we give birth to The Divine in the labor room called Life?  Why waste precious energy with formalities…the Beloved will respond no matter the salutation.  Just open your heart and cry out with a passion born only from the intense longing to truly know The Self, here and now!  This ache will move mountains and you will see them approach in reverence and bow and YOUR holy feet.

Remember what seems real is most likely illusion and illusion is the doorway to Reality.  Life is a supreme mystery and a fantastic paradox not to be solved by the unending skills of the mind, but tenderly revealed in the Heart’s perpetual love song.

We are really free in spirit thinking ourselves into illusion’s prison.  Remember who you are and end the truly useless suffering.  It’s only purpose is to bring you begging to The Door of Truth and…behold…it is opened by Love’s tender hand.  You only fell asleep for a moment, so compose your Self now and rise up to greet The Eternal Light of your Being shining through all misconception.  You are home free!

Summer’s Recital

Standard

An orchard is an intoxicating place
where God hangs out all day
just to watch the peaches
giggle with delight
as the sun tickles them.
The Earth is drunk on
the rain’s sweet nectar
and has a hard time
spinning straight. . .
challenging the limbs and leaves
as they practice their new dance
with the wind.
God loves hanging out
in the orchard all day
watching Summer’s wonderful recital.

God Seeing God

Standard

Every now and then, not often enough though,

I see through the infinite eyes of

The Beloved

and I see things as they truly are.

You know. . .the shadow free version.

 

For an instant the mind stops

the breath stills

and the heart quickens

with a deep recognition.

 

Imagine what that must look like

from beyond the veil…

God seeing God

is positively

COMBUSTIBLE!

This Love

Standard

This Love
transcends all boundaries
and
gives freedom wings.

This Love
remembers
that there is nothing greater
than its Self.

This Love
allows, expands and embraces
each moment
just as it is.

This Love
gently unties the bindings
that fear wove
around the heart.

This Love
reveals more Love
and teaches of
The Heart’s perfect wisdom.

This Love
is original Divine spark
shining in your eyes.

The One Who Loves All Things

Standard

Now, I enjoy the Presence of

The One Who Loves All Things,

gazing out from behind these deep eyes

offering everyday Darshan

and gently dethroning the mistaken mind.

Giving voice to the loving heart

whose words impart glimpses of

The Great Mystery

and sends streams of tender mercy

through these hands of flesh

turning them luminous

and everywhere present.

Now, I am honored that

The One Who Loves All Things

is constantly enjoying this Temple.

River of Love

Standard

I have come to your river,
you know…
the one where Love, Peace and Truth
flow silent and free.

I am called by this river,
every moment a returning
and a flowing out
through my heart.

I am at home here in this river,
this deep river of life
where Love’s eternal Light
sparkles and dances.

I Am your River of Love
silently flowing
from the depths of
stillness.

In Awe

Standard

I love You in everything seen and unseen…

As wind under wing

and feather flying free.

As a dew kissed rose

weeping with rain.

As the sun behind the clouds

creating rainbow decorations.

I am in awe of this Love.

Please accept my amazement.

Only Love

Standard

Only one wish
Only one choice
Only one path
fills my soul…

~    L O V E   ~

To be an unending fountain of Light
a deep pool of peace
Love’s open door.

Written in my heart
this covenant grows
toward fullness of expression in the world…
watching the stars ~ I Am guided Home.
