i removed

here i am
suspended
between then and there
now
a glimpse
of dark nothingness
as my mind
dissolves into everything
expanding stillness
and silken breath
there just is
the smooth peace
of i removed

truth be told

something is happening
a transformation
inner becoming outer and
melting into the world
not the secular world
not humanity's world
but an extraordinary world

is the world an illusion?
or is the illusion the
humanization of the world?
the thought of being above
of being master, holding dominion over
the illusion of ownership
when the truth lies in belonging

the world is not an illusion
the thinking of humanity is
and soon the truth will be told
humanity as one strand
in the web of life
not apart from or above
but belonging to

it is not the physical world
that will dissolve
but humanity's thinking
shifting into an understanding
of equal magnificence and
aligned with the essence
of an enchanted world

just standing

standing in the light of your love
just standing
resisting the urge to reach out and grasp hold

standing in the light of your love
just standing
releasing the need to control

standing in the light of your love
just standing
accepting the chaos of feelings and thoughts

standing in the light of your love
just standing
allowing the fears to consume and dissolve

standing in the light of your love
just standing
feeling the pull of your heart on mine

standing in the light of your love
just standing
receiving the moment you reach for me

broken open

i want
to be broken open
the hardness of my heart
pried away
revealing
a softness

i want

to be broken open

fractures and fissures

revealing

a passage

i want
to be broken open
fear and resistance
shields and blockades
crumbling
to sand
revealing
an inner space

i want
to be broken open
feeling the willingness
to receive
and revealing
the sun

in my soul
