Intense joy, delights not, in the having,
but in nurturing the desire to have
honoring mysteries of the heart
rather then controlling them
feeds
the
soul
I cannot decide on the magician casting
this spell
an angelic visitation?
I ponder the soul’s intentions?
this wide personal area lends it’s own
language of fate and what does fate
require of me?  
looking thru shadows
& gapping spaces, is intimacy
hand in hand with a new
level of awareness???
“the profound thinker”
sophisticated failure,
moves us to new
levels of keenness
yet we loath pain
and all it’s troubling
aspects of life
yet, in those hours
of darkest corners lurking
within that terror
there is nothing to fear
moreover, blessings in which
we find dialect
to sit quietly with and listen
it is the place
I derive connection, purpose…
sweet separation, dropping traditions
there incorporates inner sound files
which clearly prose
talisman of the self
two complete opposite and contrary poles
animating ethereal characteristics
where the entire essence of life
becomes an extraordinary paradox
in which the cause
of consciousness remains formless
yet completely
harmonizing with our flesh
hence, dissolving into
unity and wholeness
could that be the center of pure being
the beginning and the end…
perhaps another level or plain?
state of being
unraveling some ever changing vision
incarnating thumbprints
manifesting in some eternal ocean
from which we came
to which we reflect reality?
  I am astounded by this
inactive consciousness waiting
to be aroused
to be loved and to give love

"I am astounded by this
inactive consciousness waiting
to be aroused
to be loved and to give love"


Are the trees astounded by their fruit?
Birds astounded by their feathers?
A dog astounded by its bark?
NO….
Huummmm….

I am certainly puzzled too…
But I think all that is natural?  Ain’t it?

Beautiful write Lee J.
But I will contemplate this one for a very long time.

Hug to ya… Kid-o.

I always find it interesting, Lee, that we find our minds and/or souls, and the depths thereof, astounding
What a wonderful write this is!

Poet, said my Muse to me, look in thy heart and write.

LeeJ
you are speaking my language
so well

say not I have found the answer
but I have found an answer...

and I found an answer in this poem

"honoring the mysteries of the heart
rather then controlling them
feeds
the
soul"
