Day 7 - Poems

Today is an extraordinary day in the life of my family. After receiving ecstatic news, I felt these poems wash through me:

These doors

Behind the seemingly small doors of my heart

The Ocean of Universal Love is

gathering

swelling

pushing.

The hinges of my heart are squeaking under the strain

the wood, cracking, 

bulging.

I know its only a matter of time before Love crashes open

the doors.

So why am I afraid of opening the tiny

latch?

I am afraid of my annihilation in Love as much as

I crave it.

I am afraid of touching the Face of God as much as

I hunger to.

I know that once these doors 

burst

There will be a million tiny pieces of me washed

along

The vistas of time.

I am 

willing

to be washed 

away.

The moment of death

When the moment of death comes,

and here is a secret:

Its already here.

When this moment comes, I will be 

asking:

What was the quality of my Love?

How completely did I give my heart 

away?

Did I hide from Love?

Or did I choose to Love with complete ecstatic

madness?

The answers to these questions will bring me

no judgment.

Only more

Love.

So let me now step up to this plate of Life

and give everything I have

all my Love

to this one moment!

My whole life is but one small moment of my Soul:

here forever, and forever 

gone.

So let me turn the latch of this illusion

and let the flood

out.

Let me end the charade of hiding from my

magnificence.

Let me clothe myself in robes of

Light

and ride the winds of Infinity

home

to

Love.
