people come in and out of our lives…all of them guests. treating all as gifts to our well-being, teachers to our learning, nourishment to our souls, recipients of our giving. we let them pass through with our blessing for happiness and freedom from suffering. with an open heart we say, “Welcome” as they enter in, and with an open heart we say, “Be well” as they move on. this is the Love of non-attachment, this is the Love of friendship.

when i need a reminder
that all of this is sacred
i sit under the night sky
and
watch stars dance
i listen to birds sing
or
children’s laughter
i enjoy a cool breeze on a sunny day
and
get lost in the eyes
of
those whom i love.
we are all friends here
interdependent
floating along in the same river
which
opens into a deep blue sea
of
vast, spacious Love…

the only truth we have…
all is empty
waves come and gone
suns risen and set
worlds end
even
as new ones begin
all of what i know
is that i don’t
really
know
whether the stars
are here
or
gone tomorrow
even as if they
are
gone today
and may be
in some
tomorrow
all i really see
are distant memories
and futures
yet to manifest
but i am here
in this moment
in this
breath
so
breathe with me
my love
and
let our hearts beat
this once
together in rhythm
together
in the harmony
of right now
the only truth we have

reborn in your love…
it is in your in-breath
that
i live
and
in your out-breath
that
i die
so please
keep breathing
my friend
that
i may live
and die
again
and
again
in this
your beautiful
reincarnation
moment
by
moment
i am
reborn
again
reborn
in
your love

our hearts are mirrors…
with this crested water
reflecting half moon light
nothing different, really
than my love reflecting yours
and
taking flight
our hearts are mirrors, really
to each other’s
our souls are joined
dear brother
as
sacred lovers

broken are my gifts of love…
broken
are my gifts
of
love
what
should be
grace
ends in clumsy
disgrace
my words
like wallflowers
need
a shove
and
still they
get lost
avoiding you
at great cost
yet, the letter
from my lips
is
simple, my love
you are the prayer
that echoes from my heart
for all the Universe
the hear
from below
to
above

today i died a thousand times
in contemplating your love
like a thousand suns in feverish passion
burning to their end
i died
and the world was blinded
in the wake of our union
smiles and tears everywhere
i found myself
missing you today
which is certainly
ridiculous
because when i opened
my heart
i saw
it is there you have been
all along
dear one…
how can you be
any closer to me
than you are?
every cloud
bears the beauty
of your image
every star
your smile
every flower
blooms with the scent
of your grace and
the presence of
your peace
your breath is
my breath
your heartbeat
my heartbeat
and your thoughts
take flight in my dreams
the road
i travel is marked by
your footsteps
and these two hands
reach with yours
and dear one…
while the jealous Sun
burns with passion
for your love
and attention
you should know that
it is you who are
the song in my heart
i am
exhausted
my heart
grows weary
morning
noon and
night
anger jealously and hurt
come
to feed on this
weakened muscle
and this
tired soul
they leave nothing but
scraps of guilt
in
their gluttonous wake
i am exhausted
my heart grows weary
morning noon and night
i think i shall plant Love
in
this broken heart and weeping soul
we’ll see how they like feeding on that!
