Nearer and Nearer

[Guest guest]

I wrote this poem in 1998.

 

I did not know then who the 'he' would be.

 

I did not know who I would 'conjure up' to play that role

for me then, but I do now:

 

~~~~~~

 

Seemingly strangers...

 

from opposite ends

of the world.

 

I saw you

across the room

that day.

 

Our eyes met

as if we knew

one another.

 

And day by day

little by little

we make our way

towards the center.

 

With each step

nearer you

my heart quickens.

 

I begin to lose

my self

in Time.

 

Nearer and nearer

we move

to one another.

 

And then....

you sing to me.

 

And I begin to melt.

 

Then.....

you kiss me.

 

And I am no more.

 

~~~~~~~~

 

I'm so grateful for Osho,

for making himself so available

.......for allowing himself to be

used as such an extraordinary

and controversial 'device'

(as he called it).

 

Such a perfect mirror for this

One.

 

much love,

Melody

"The heart pulsating in love becomes a flute on the lips of God, and a song is

born." ~ Osho
