Poetry as a spiritual appetizer. Sparking your hunger to get quiet and clarify your connection to the divine. The longing to take off the old coat of defensiveness intensifies when we see the love that pervades all.
Yet, with this cyclical nature, we often dance between knowing this truth and becoming sucked back into the ego's residual grasp. However, there is a deep longing that sprouts from this dance. When open to our own longing and savor it, we begin to lose ourselves in the connection fully.
The Undercurrents of The Divine
Soak into these words deeper with the immersive spoken word meditation below
I hear the undercurrent of the divine
it’s undulating beneath my words
mixing into my breath
surging behind my eyes
I yearn, crave,
in fact… hunger desperately
to fabricate this “me” I get to witness
from the threads of truth
Yet on the surface
there are waves of resistance
separating my embodiment
from the beloved
Emotions I wish not to feel
Love, I wish to remain dissolved in
Tentatively I stir
my salty illusions
into the water of remembrance
What force of nature is it
that defies my selfless request
and evaporates the remembrance
from my eyes?
What will it take to pacify the habitual defense that imprisons me as separate
Hidden from the light of my own love
I become soaked in longing
So I gather the hymns of my soul
and lace a ring
and proclaim myself engaged
my eyes married
to the gaze of God
looking and actually seeing
Settling down into the undercurrent
The surface illusions
no longer have such a grasp
on a woman
committed and loyal
to the momentarily eclipsed truth
Because she knows what is deep down
and all that matters
is Love
