Like Alabaster Lace

~ Like Alabaster Lace ~ 

The earth’s cooling mood

Summons a tangible quietness

Demanding stillness of life

Sounds muffled, landscapes blanketed

Beneath Sacred geometry dressed in

Icy garments of white

Like Alabaster Lace, snow dancing down

Silently sharing a timbre of emotion only known

Intimately by the skies above

A purposeful repose gives honor to

The sprig and the seed that are at rest

Beneath gelid blankets of white

Journey Home

~ Journey Home ~ 

Closed eyes, lids shut tight

Diving inward, immersed

Beneath entangled thoughts

Swimming amidst Ego’s landmines

Swaying, bobbing, a victim of

Undercurrents ebbing, pushing guilt

Pulling, flowing with fears

Eyes open, sudden awakening

Releasing to embrace willingness

Letting go intentionally

What is this that beckons me onward?

Luring me with Omnipresent Light

I follow, opening to trust

Acceptance of my spirit’s

Natural state

Doors unencumbered by hinges and locks

Open upon request as beatific songs

Fill my ears, “Come closer, trust I Am here”

Opening, exploding with desirous longing

Thoughts of guilt and doubt fall away

Softly I step into my own longing

Embracing the Eternal Love of Christ

I am home

I am home

I am home

A Finite Game

~ A Finite Game ~ 

Hiding beneath silence

Like water over sand

The Ego dances violently

Upon Dark intent

Boasting obliteration

Of The Light

Fabrication of dreams

Deception in schemes

Fantasizing what Never was

Separate individuality

Fueled by finite games

Screams in pain while

Infinitely losing to

Its own delusions

Luminosity of Spirit

The Light immutable

Continues unaware of

Such madness

Drenched in Thy Love

~ Drenched in Thy Love ~

My body born heavy

Feeling forsaken

Thrown to the beasts of darkness

Gnawing, devouring all hope

Nightmarish imaginings

Strangling my voice, silencing

Truth

Questions devour this heart

Oh God! Is this life?

Save me! Lift me up!

Fill me to the brim with

The beauty of your Light!

Silencing the lies

Giving trumpets to truth

I fall away from dreams

Landing upon that small space

I Am Home

Impregnating my soul as I breathe out

Inhaling your Love, your Cause, Your Grace

My Spirit floats away into my heart

Heaven was always within

Anticipating the return!

I am drenched in thy love

I am riddled with desire

I am obsessed with memory

Eternity lures like thick sweet honey

Alas, I am One with You

~ Oh Eyes of Mine ~

~ Oh Eyes of Mine ~

My eyes defy me, much like bratty school bullies

Telling me I'm insane to believe I can see beyond

What my vision imagines!

Silly eyes of mine, such bratty orbs of ocular protein

Trying to be unlike one another,

Hinting that one's color 'tis more like a robin's egg

Than the other's!

Oh, but I know my eyes, and in the night they rest,

Their defiance sleeping until the morrow when

Once again, like a fresh morning dew all wet with promises,

My eyes will be one - until the  brattyness  begins

Then I shall take each one under fist and rub them hard

Demanding they stop and desist their petty quarreling.
