Desperately
Searching
YOU seem so close
Lord knows
I’ve looked
Everywhere
Where are YOU?
My body can’t
Catch you
My mind can’t
Describe you
I give up
But oh please
At least
Let me just
F e e l Y O U
Oh!
If that’s
All you want
Dear seeker
I will tell you
Empty your mind
No plans
No desires
No fears
Sit quietly in
Perfect
Unknowning
Let go of
Your story
Your self
Don’t fall asleep!
Perfectly
Empty
Perfectly
Receptive
Your heart
Listening like
Cupped hands
Now
Get ready
Here it comes
The outpouring
The warm grace
The unmoving gift
Always there
So very close
Yet concealed by
Your agitation
Your seeking
Behold the
Miracle!
Stillness
Meeting
Itself
In
Stillness
Too sublime
Too subtle to
Perceive
Any
Other
Way
Who could imagine?
By doing nothing
You’ve reunited
These long-lost
Lovers
And goodness
How the
Heavens
Rejoice
Bathing
You
In
That
LOVE!
