Upon awakening….

Upon awakening

the eyes of my heart gaze in awe

into an expanding beauty

to which the truth within my soul

bears witness

as the spirit soars free to dance with thee

the path to love has opened wide

the music of the swirling stars and spinning spheres

creating a celestial ballroom

of flowing space through divine grace

suspending a golden globe

of firelight

spilling flickering patterns of flames

giving life to this existence

through the sweet encounter

of relationship

falling into the embrace

and sacred  touch

of spirit

is much more than we could ever

have known alone

we awaken to

what it is to become real

and feel thy love

opening a portal

within us

creating a cosmic sea

of eternal light

dancing with the sun

Blessing from the heart of belovedness

Blessing the family of humankind
showering and anointing them with love
touch all hearts to know
the great heart which connects us all

May we never lift a hand to harm
the beauty of creation
this earth or the beautiful people
who share it as home

May we feel the flowing spirit
and feel the sweet belovedness
that gives us life and breath
to experience the wonder of love

when mystics sing…..

the sweet invisible wings of spirit

the blissful peace beyond the boundaries

of whatever confines us

is ever beckoning

summoning

and calling us to experience

the essence of light

deep within our own beingness

a liberating sacred spirit

spiraling

swirling ……….flowing

lighter than air

opening the way

a path to the sweetest freedom

of pure love

N.

Sheltering sanctuary of Love

We gather in the glow

of that sheltering heart

overflowing with the spirit of love

that warms us all

We feel the life giving rhythm

pulsing

within our own

drawing us into communion

inviting

every heart

to open to the beauty

and wonder

of the kingdom

of

belovedness

The mystics call us

to the winehouse of the Beloved

to taste the sweetness

of the wine

and lift our hearts

to rejoice in the whispering

flames in

the dancing gaze

of intimates

who gather in love…

Adorned with garlands of love

 

Sweet touch of dawn
awakening me
kissing the last
of lengthening
shadows away that like
to follow joy
and obscure the emanations
of light
that bless the world

Love so fills my eyes
that the gaze
brushes everything in sight
with beauty
using darkness
to deepen
the soft robe
of night
the beloved tenderly places
around my shoulders

Starlight lingers
in my hair
and garlands of secrets
are hidden
in the tiny flowers
clinging to my gown

My countenance is radiant
with the beloved
and the light of day
reveals the Joy
I carry inside
I am helpless to dim the glow
so I treasure the grace
and hide my face…

Laughter dances all
around the room
and the voice of intimacy
has opened
my sacred listening

Night surrounds me
while I close
my eyes
to pretend to sleep
the stars linger
in the morning light
but we are unable to delay
the light of dawn

The birds are already singing
and building nests
with strands
of hair
left in the grass
for love
is in the air

Bewildering dew
like sips of wine
loosened
the silvery tongue
of the moon
transforming me into
a living tree
of heaven
in the golden rays
of eternal love

luminous transcendence

The silence never fails to coax a song

from this listening heart

when feeling the deep presence

of the dance

beneath the stars

the soft caresses

hidden

in the swirling centuries 

of blossoming 

caught

in the sweet spring 

of mystic souls

 

a garden forever blessed

by the fingers of moonlight

playing

in the sensual curls

tumbling free under the tapestry

of night

 

a music only heard

and felt

in the open heart

of lovers

 

fireflies mingle with violets

in the grass

and the stream

flowing through the garden

carries a story

in the reflections

of light

that will soon vanish

in the rising mist 

of dawn

 

the beloved keeps the secrets

in the infinite

freedom

of the formless

spirit
