spirit
full circle
with each turn
opened a new universe
sweat, tears, hopes, dreams
all had their way
a birth and a death
in each experience
only love and learning
has remained
that journey now
has reached completion
and new horizons await
haven
in the realm of oneness
every thought
dawns like a blessing
stars crumble
into my lap
and dreams takes flight
saudade
if only
you could see
what I see in you
hear what
I cannot say
you are
what no words
can contain
like all that is sacred
treasured, in my heart
you remain
you are..
you are to me
more than a story
more than a memory
🌸
petal unto petal
my spirit flowers
and heavens turn
as your love descends
upon my heart
….
music by Marc Antoine
seeker
as you awaken
to the Truth
of who you really are
anything and everything
that is not real
crumbles away
kintsugi
tell me
about the ways
in which you are human
flawed, broken, vulnerable
and all you have endured
in this thing called life
I promise
I will show you
there is beauty
in that brokenness
that makes you
more lovable in my eyes
more precious in my heart
than any illusion
of ‘perfect’
ever will
I will continue
to love you
despite your scars
I will love you
more
for them
the rebirth
on this path of Heart
a time will come
when you will bathe
in love
oozing from
every atom
of every corner
there will be no running away
from anything
because in surrender
you will receive
what was waiting for you
what was always yours
strangers will no longer appear
to be ‘strange’
and you will begin to see yourself
in every face you meet
trees, birds, flowers, heavens
will welcome you with laughter
and you will feel yourself
pulsating with the life force
that guides
every being into action
your core will expand
in that fuzzy warmth
and you will feel
deep, pure love
overflowing for yourself,
for every atom in existence
you will begin to see
how to hurt another
only means hurting
your own self
and how a small act
of reaching out
can turn a life around
you will delight in connecting
with everything you touch
and all that enters
the realm of your senses
that have now suddenly
come alive
while experiencing ‘life’
you will often drown
in a flood of laughter and tears
only to be reborn
again and again
in those sacred moments
this experience
will engrave itself
in every cell of your body –
a remembrance
of what you had forgotten
a shedding of all
this world made you believe
after the unveiling
of the Miracle of miracles
as you come home
to yourself
no ’other’ will remain
with every breath, my love
you will now begin to feel
a mergence
with the Infinite

One soul poem
So much truth and wisdom in these words.. couldn’t help but share. If it spoke to you, you can follow more of Zafar’s soulful poetry and journey at https://themidnightflyer.com
(artist unknown – source: facebook page “Bodaishin”)
How much you are able to give…
This is the measure of the gift within you.
We are all gatekeepers to each others’ soul.
There is only one (sole) soul.
Love is the eye that sees the Soul,
through the light of a shimmering tear.
So thank you for every tear;
they have helped me to open my
torn heart.
Now ink drips from my eyes onto a page meant to heal
these torn hearts of ours.
We are all scarred….
The healers are the ones who let the scars break open.

oneness
I looked for you
and couldn’t find a trace
now the search
has ended
and we meet laughing
at every place I go
in every face I behold
🍂
we all die
many times, in myriad ways
before the physical death
in the dissolution of a dream
in the passing of a loved one
at the hands of a lover
yet with each spring
life is renewed
in the same place
it collapsed
from the source
that is Eternal
I hear
the leaves dance
in the autumn wind
falling
weightlessly
as if
in a trance
gently reminding me
it is not death
that I should fear
but celebrate spring
that never fails
to keep its promise
