Standing in the spot Where you used to be Winds that kiss my skin now breezy Uncovering streetlights Hiding in their own shadows Earth stutters a forgotten tune Fair-haired sirens pulling me through an abyss Chasing me like an accused Then slides to that empty place in my head And heart Lifeless figure of a reservoir Which once overflowed Still hand branches Manhandling my thoughts Of you, of me, of us Could it be the Crumbling splinters Through forgiveness of illusion? Befriending single questions Perhaps because we couldn’t be? Is something undone, unfinished Or am I a connoisseur for penalty? Serenity listens to my spirit now ~ Allowing joy, freedom and Tao Is this my avowal of destiny? All streams and rivers of consciousness? Will I arrive at the sea of self in Deity? Each dream begins in middle school Staying in connection with the intermediate Turning down An empty bed Hijacking all doubt of self-worth Become liabilities Sustaining unassuming nature Spirit moaning forgiveness Eternal oneness looking me deep inside It’s calm and ever changing The essential nature of the thing Eyes filled with passion Stretching forth thoughts Disassociates the fear Life’s burden’s right the trade winds Unlocking bordered isles The unfair drafts language Finding peddlers selling great cities Nerves in my body stand with counterparts The exchange, transcending Concepts of process Learning and unlearning Love has no opposite, it simply is Is it because of you my eyes look? Not toward the river of what could have been But more so what is from what was? Or is this a course in miracles I’m supposed to see? The Peace home of reality, one which Collects some divine process, offering an Inward map to perspective Against the foolish dream? One that could have never been? Time is solely part of me…. Holding my hand and perceiving it is me No longer uncertain, but with great power to create Encircling everything And everything encompasses me…. No longer choosing against My mind now becomes one, remembering Perfectly safe….as you promised I was Once…a long time ago…before you left Again and again…. You were the start of All of this…Were you His tool? Retreating no longer, shifts from one dream to another Now being fully awake You were the beginning when loving seemed Seemed so….so Possible; and it was so, and in reality Eternal and therefore is now You’ve likely forgotten We ceased in your mind But my willingness to remember Is more then memory And that knowledge restores What is, what was….. There is no unpleasantness but the ability to Let go, to accept truth, in this world perceptual A counterpart which beholds me I am, because of memory Love cannot suffer |

LeeJ - I'm speechless, utterly speechless, but I think I can just manage to get a "wow" out! Wow! Definitely a keeper to be read over and over again. |

"Serenity listens to my spirit now ~ Allowing joy, freedom and Tao Is this my avowal of destiny? All streams and rivers of consciousness? Will I arrive at the sea of self in Deity?" ~ My Dear, you have arrived at sea of self or you would not be able to write as you do!   Linda |
