And the formless breathed
A lasting kiss -
Upon her lips this vessel
Born,
And desire came forth
To know itself
As light to life and rise
To form.

So here we stand,
The vessel filled.
Each to give,
To receive,
To gather still -

Creation turned and held in time,
And our lives,
Our love
As gold
Entwined.

Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you. Joy is a state of mind.

Hmmmm...inspiration?

This is based on the story of creation from the Kabbalah. We are vessels born to carry the source. The more we give, the more we share, the more we come to know the source of our giving.

There is more too from Tantra and meditation of The Heart Sutra in Buddhism. The Sutra begins with "Form is empty, emptiness is form".

Hahaha...everything else just fell in place from here!

Love,
Eric

Ah, well, having recently read two current fictional pieces on somewhat the same premise for one, certainly on the mark for the title, I wondered, so I asked. You are a gentleman and wonderful poet, Eric. Thank you for replying to the question.

Now, on to read even more...literature, and do some research as well.

Great write! Got me thinking somewhat about the word "creation" but more particularly about the "creator". There's so much we'll never know in the here and now.
