Flowing River, Comforted Land

No Comments

Water flows through the river of the valley
Twisting and bending and following her form
It knows no other way to exist
Carves her as it flows without end

Deepening of the ancient landscape
Unfamiliar and old and new and changing
Constantly moving toward an unseen place
Nature of existence, dance of water and land

Approaching the great sea, landscape changes
Smoother and wider and calmer, peaceful flow
River and land, land and river, calm bay, warm beach
All is well as  the sun draws the water from the earth

Rains will come again, washing mountains, valley, sea
Be at peace in the perfect knowledge of the great circle
All is precisely as it is supposed to be in this moment
For the waters and the dirt and the rivers and the land

Colors of Your Love

Petals fall to the ground
Joining the fragrant carpet
Cover the rich and firm earth
In colors and softness

So, your love for me
Covers the dirt of my dark humanity
Covers me in beauty and grace
Softens my wretched soul

Petals falling to the ground
Fill the air with wonderment
Sweet beauty of your sweet kiss
Colors of your great love

Peace

Standing for centuries
Immovable tree
Birds nest within
Singing gleefully

Roots planted deep
Strength in the dirt
While storms pass through
Tree remains unhurt

Earth’s purpose served
Along with healing rains’
Great circle’s nourishment
Destiny still remains

All have their place
Under God’s bright sun
Gift of great peace
Growing now as one

pulling up a pail of living water
the walls of the well gave way
and in less than an instant
down the hole into blackness, i slid

feelings feed thoughts
thoughts become real
reality fuels feelings
sliding down the well

dreamer’s new dream
stifling breathless quiet
darkness overpowers
earthen walls closing in

bottomless pit
eternal shame
painful remains
bound in new chains

light from above
blocked from view
by eyelids
that refuse to open

squeeze tighter the grip
dirt and blood and water
cold dark winds fill
heart strains to beat

just one more
lonely
beat

Engulf me. Flood me. Fill me.

Holy Father, Heavenly Friend. Spirit of All,

Hear me.

Shine the light on me. Flood me. Reveal in me, all that would keep me in the insanity of separation from You. I am of You. I am created in Your image. I am at peace in the worship of You,  Sweet King of Love. Give me the words to pray to You. Lift my mind in the highest praise. I have been wonderfully made of that which flows throughYour veins. I am at peace in the jubilant praise of You, Dear God.

Fill me with more sweetness. Fill me with more willingness. I want to go deeper. I want to surrender all to You. And then, I want to surrender even more. All flows from You. All flows to You. Let me realize fully that even the Flow that is All that Flows IS You.

Engulf me. Flood me. Fill me. Burn me with the cleansing fire. Let my tears flow, run, heal…. River of Love, River of You. From the dirt I have come. Add to me the Living Water. Mold the mud. Knead the pot. Sanctify me in the Holy Kiln.

In this most precious Holy and Divine Moment, let me know that All IS. I am. You are. We are. Let it be so. Let it be so with me. Let it be so with me now. Let it be so with me and You now. Now. Deeper. Flood. Burn. Live. LOVE!

Amen
