Poem, Christmas

It is Christmas night
This beautiful delight
Bright shining light.
Lighting up the outside
Do we let the light of Life/Existence light up our inside?
To uncover and shine upon our dusty corners

Decorations outside in trees, stores and homes
And decorations on our Being inside. On our Inner Home.
Decorations to hide what we really feel?

Giving of gifts
Selfless love or
Seeking of approval?
Playing different roles
In this theatre of Life

Under the Christmas wrappings
Under the many layers of covers and masks
That we have wrapped our soul in
Hiding
Not daring to open up

Celebrating Christmas but not letting others open up the
Neatly wrapped Package of our soul

The truest Christmas gift
The Gift of Life
Receive this gift from existence
A Meeting where we allow ourselves to remove the layers covering
The depths of our Being
Where we allow a Deep meeting to take place
Where soul connects with soul
Instead of a facade connecting with a facade

Christmas
Cold outside
Let the Sun of Existence
Melt the frozen layers
Of attachments and  identities
Covering your ever pulsating
Vibrantly Alive Heart

A true Christmas gift
The gift that Existence offers in every Moment.
Embrace this gift
Embrace this Moment
