I love You
You are my Creator
Giver of life and breath
Creator of my spirit
Giver of Spirit
Great Mystery
You dwell in the ground of my being
In my innermost heart
Your Spirit meets my spirit
They become one
Great Marvel
This union
Open my inner vision
So I can see
I need to find myself
back in Love again
I must only open my eyes
to see
That I never have been
placed elsewhere
Always in Love fully
is the truth I must know
Maybe it is time to unbury your soul?
Maybe it is time to find your true voice?
Maybe it is time for the world to meet the real you?
Maybe it is time to be your own authority?
Maybe it is time to listen within?
Maybe it is time to worry less about what other people say?
Maybe it is time to choose your own way?
Maybe it is time to find your soul?
Maybe it is time for soul to find you?
Maybe it is time to get off the carousel?
Maybe it is time to sit down and rest?
Maybe it is time to follow your inner calling?
Maybe it is time to unbury your soul?
What is your answer to life calling you from within?
Poem slightly inspired by the story of the Mount of Transfiguration.
Rest
Early morning
Got up to rest
Away from the stress
Alone with myself
Pressure from all sides
Heaviness within
Tiredness in face
Sorrow in heart
Would rather escape
This pain arising
Too much to handle
Too much to care
Sipping my coffe
Clearing my mind
Still ready to give up
No desire to drink this cup
Alone with The Alone
Here I am again
Forgotten my way
Yet the I Am is here
Trust in spite of pain
When death feels like freedom
That Love soon again
Will shine like the Son
