Sweet Doves,

Listen to this inspired baby

Praise the early-mourning grievers!
For they have allowed me to awake to the grievences of a soul yearning.
their solemn songs sung soul open like a rose
losing itself petal by petal.  

walk into an orchard
and enter the kingdom of your
imagination.

brushing clean
you guard your silence like an
airtight container.

Remember the lips,
  the origins of breathe
and let your note be clear.
Don't stop.
Be clear.
Climb the rooftops in the city of the soul.
Sing aloud!
Each note is desire, coming through.

melodies mesmorize dervishes dancing divinely

"What was it in that candle's light
that opened and consumed me so quickly?"

feel me in the firmness underfoot
and listen to private presences.
I'm not worth it, but your compassion encompasses all.
Sunlight dries out dung so it can be used for fuel!  What miracles are made with the fertilizer of sin?

Pray for me.  I fear not.
I am walking through the valley of the shadows.

don't hide inside your anger, for
radiance cannot be hidden.
weeping and burning
in tandem.

"The cloud weeps, and then the garden sprouts.
The baby cries, and the mother's milk flows.
The nurse of creation has said,
'Let them cry a lot.'"

O Formless One.
Ek Tuhi Nirankar.

World comforts are shadows.
The idiots are fond of their charms.

Saint, a comrade if thine is, shall keep my heart
serene.
Lips grow sweet with the praising

Cry out and draw union.

O' to be delivered from the realm of the rational into pure song...

fascinating piece...like the ebb and swell of pros and cons of living and finding that what may seem a con is really a pro

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.
