Captivated by the force of you... Tuesday, December 8, 2009

Whenever I have a feeling of inspiration or moment of clarity

And the words begin to flow, 

They run right out the ends of my fingers as fast as they can go. 

Sometimes they go on and on and I am racing to catch up,

While at other times the form asks politely for some polishing to which I gladly agree. 

And so the circle weaves itself with me as the central cog,

Rolling onward and inward toward the source of all this bliss,

Heart wide open for the ride.

 

And now that we’ve met along the path,

Can you stop and love me for awhile?

I promise I’ll give you everything you ask for,

And won’t ask for anything in return,

Save your sweet delicious smile,

That comes from somewhere mysterious up above,

And when it hits me I’m out there beyond the wild beyond again,

Like the osprey gliding on the invisible currents of your love.

 

How many different ways can I express that which remains the same,

How many times can I touch you with my love and receive yours back again,

When will we ever arrive together at the gate that opens up the kingdom,

Revealing the light that’s stored there forevermore,

The light that’s been waiting for us to come?

How often can we hear the song without responding,

How many more messages do we need to turn the key?

And when the heart bursts spontaneously upon the scene,

No further confusion will you heed.

 

There are minstrels and bards romantic everywhere,

Playing a similar tune,

Each offering a sweet drink of nectar delight

To open up all unseen.

Listen carefully to the notes they sing,

Then hum the tune yourself,

And before ‘ere long the Beloved with appear,

And take you off the shelf.

You’ll then be transported joyfully beyond all imagined fear,

To that special place reserved for the Divine’s new love...

That’s you my precious dear.

 

I have my ticket too so let’s get on with the ride...
