Peace in midst of the waterfall

Thoughts and emotions are falling down

Rushing like a waterfall.

Standing on firm ground

In the middle of the waterfall

Observing the intensity of the the falling water

Feeling the water on my shoulders

Relaxing in its midst.

These thoughts that many times seem so burdensome

Are falling on my shoulders

And pouring down.

I can stand still.

Dont need to worry.

Life is good just as it is.

Search of God, Search of Life

All this searching

Outside of Me

Travelling all over the world

Looking for Wholeness

Looking for God

Searching for Love

Broken heart

Broken hope

Failure after failure

Existence leading me out of this mess

Showing that my way is not the Real way.

Gently breaking all my Hopes

The God I worshipped was a replacement

For accepting Life as it Is.

Life - The God that isn't divided, but One with All.

Allowing Existence to be the Guide

Searching, searching, searching

Giving up the search

Finding, finding, finding

Deep Stillness and Contentment was Always Here

Here, Inside

Poem - Am I just missing Life by my fear of missing Life

So really what do I fear

What is it that I don't dare.

What is holding me back?

Am I afraid of a tear

Of going to Near

Of Closeness to what is Dear

Am I trying to persevere

Am I just missing Life

by my fear of missing Life

I have been here before.

I recognize the terrain.

Mountain of insecurity

Valley of attachments

Lake of fear

Accepting Life as it Is

Guided back to the Narrow Path of Contentment and Stillness

Existence is gently whispering in my ears:

Just embrace Life, again, and again.

And the more you embrace Life

The more Life will open Your heart.

Poem - A boat anchored to a safe harbour

What am I desiring.

What am I wanting

To be deeply embraced

To feel I am safe

To feel I am loved

To feel I am home

To be just like A boat anchored to a safe harbour

Embraced and loved by The Deep Blue Ocean

Caressed and cared for by the Soft breeze

Loved and shone upon by the Warming Sun

Being anchored to the firm ground of Existence.

Safely anchored in midst of the raging storm

Resting in midst of waves of stillness and tranquillity.

To be Open and Sensitive

To receive it all

Fully accepting without judging

Poem - Vulnerable Heart

Oh, this vulnerable heart

Longing for intimacy

Seeking comfort

Comfort from the pain

Diving deep within

Touching the innermost chambers

Heart pulsating

Aliveness circulating in the veins

Poem - Tears

Poem - Tears

As tears flow down my cheeks

As days turn into weeks

The ice slowly melts away

Rays of sun shines through the dark clouds

Frozen Heart slowly softens up.

Awakens from her winter slumber

Existence gently melts the many layers of ice

Spring of the Heart is Here

Shining through the dust

Under the treetops

Under the stars

A bird is singing her song

The sun is shining through the window

Shining through the dust

Immersing the Love from Existence

Her rays are shining

Shining through the Window of the Heart

Radiating through the Dust of dullness

Touching the Core

Abiding in her Gentle Arms
