Smallness is an open grave That begs you, 'come hither'. Smallness is a prison cell Where meals are delivered on time. The Earth rolls out a carpet Of green before you And the stars a crown And you think you know what you are And you seek in vain For freedom from your own delusion Of smallness. It can never be. For just a moment Let yourself fall Into the heart of the world. Let it embrace you And nourish you As your essence Not the desolate creature You pretend to be. Life can feed you Or life can bleed you dry How shall it be? You are the starlight And yet you stub your toe And curse the darkness. You are the awesome dread Of an approaching storm And yet a crack of thunder Makes you catch your breath. The wonder is not That you are so wondrous But that you can think You are so small And believe in reflections. In mirrors. While your mind is wrapped in pettiness Your heart is soaring with the wind It has always been so And you do not know this Because you cannot know You can only sense it's endlessness It's openness and boundlessness It's vulnerable, tender freedom Hopelessly unconstrained and undirected And this frightens you. It frightens me too. But just a moment Is enough. There are journeys >From which one never truly returns Quite the same. I wish you bon voyage.

Guest guest Posted October 31, 2006 Report Share Posted October 31, 2006 ....A little late on the take since I am computerless, nonetheless, I must make it a trinity;-) dark wings, indigo dawn feathers my daybreak I arrive in my awakening once again a quaint wilderness stretch my morning skin, a thin red line between you and I, an eventual horizon occurrence like bread upon the water what dances us this day, who will breathe as I Am? hard to tell, Lover, isn't it? I've only been up in my body for 15 minutes and the songs of myself have not yet been written. Beloved, write your notes in the spaces of my devotion to You, these warm rivers and body curvings are in allegiance to a nascent bonding, an ancient agreement, our return to home and hearth, My Love, Namaste :-) Love, Anna , souldreamone wrote: > > In a message dated 10/30/2006 5:40:58 AM Eastern Standard Time, > yosyflug writes: > > thank you, phil... this insight of yours > brought to my memory: > > Nightfall at the seashore > > Black strokes > Of lazy waves > On peachy luminescence > Bordering the purple > Darkening sky > Pierced sparsely > By waking up stars…. > Beloved, > O beloved! > Were it only > To behold > This wink of your beauty > It is worth > To be alive. > > > --'<-,<-{@ > yosy > Nice. > In honor of that moment: > > A Moment > > Just for a moment > Leave the smallness behind. > Smallness is an open grave > That begs you, 'come hither'. > Smallness is a prison cell > Where meals are delivered on time. > > The Earth rolls out a carpet > Of green before you > And the stars a crown > And you think you know what you are > And you seek in vain > For freedom from your own delusion > Of smallness. > It can never be. > > For just a moment > Let yourself fall > Into the heart of the world. > Let it embrace you > And nourish you > As your essence > Not the desolate creature > You pretend to be. > > Life can feed you > Or life can bleed you dry > How shall it be? > You are the starlight > And yet you stub your toe > And curse the darkness. > You are the awesome dread > Of an approaching storm > And yet a crack of thunder > Makes you catch your breath. > > The wonder is not > That you are so wondrous > But that you can think > You are so small > And believe in reflections. > In mirrors. > > While your mind is wrapped in pettiness > Your heart is soaring with the wind > It has always been so > And you do not know this > Because you cannot know > You can only sense it's endlessness > It's openness and boundlessness > It's vulnerable, tender freedom > Hopelessly unconstrained > and undirected > And this frightens you. > > It frightens me too. > But just a moment > Is enough. > There are journeys > From which one never truly returns > Quite the same. > I wish you bon voyage. > > Phil > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
