OM~so sweet
Is it like the joyful breeze
Of a crashing wave
Crisp and salty
A breath
Expanding?
Is it like the sweetness
of an orange blossom
Unfolding to the moonlight?
Stretching its petals
In simple awareness
Becoming
Itself
Innocent
Once again
But for a second
The sound of light and dark
Contained
Obtained
Retained
But for a second
Explained
Gone before long
And I long to go there too
To the place where all exists
And nothing
The source
Of light
Of clarity
Of sound
In silence.
One Day
I had forgotten the radiance
I gave the sun
And how it rose
To warm and greet me.
Seeking sameness
Deep inside
It tried again
each day
So resolute
Each day it found
Another facet of my absence
Still, each day
The sun did not forget
That in my skin it found its meaning
And there was hope for rising yet
The more I spent my days in slumber
The more I fell away from me
The more I fed and grew my sadness
The more he shone
And steadily
As every soul does have an equal
As certain deep calls unto deep
Each day the sun would seek its likeness
Its light reflected back through me
And though my heart was lost and withered
Its pace and beat still spoke of life
And one day
light would heal and wake me
This love would
One day...
Get me through the night.
