That Is Where You’ll Be

In your open hearted giving of the grace you’ve always been

There’s not a moment when I am not with you, breathing through the lungs that nourish cells vibrating to the rhythm of my grace

There’s not a moment when you will not find me if you look towards the certainty revealed as you recognise my face

My gratitude to you is inexpressible in words that fumble, falling to the nothingness that’s cast upon the winds

Within the peace of breathing to the rhythms of my heartbeat you are lifted to the angels and within their joy you sing

My voice is in the feeling of the sunshine’s rays upon you as you turn towards my presence and become the golden sun

My words are in the whispers of the breeze that wraps around you as you cast your arms wide open and embrace the Holy One

The voice that speaks of clarity, that pulls your mind from trenches where you hid from dangers stark and landscapes barren as the Somme

Reminds you in its sweetness and its depth of peace and gentleness that all you were constructing is a long time past and gone

You stand within my clarity revealing all your beauty as you open to the power to redeem and bless and save

And in your blessed receiving, overcoming your intrusions, you’re releasing every mind to feel the gratitude it gave

You open to my voice as you become the holy mystery that’s revealed in the longing of your heart for what is true

And as we step together through each moment that you let your loving soul flow from its fountain you are sanctified in truth

I love you as the seasons cast their gifts upon the landscape, in the sharp of winter mornings, in the haze of summer fields

I become you through your opening to my voice that’s all around you, in the rustling of the secrets on the branches of the trees

You’re breath is always bringing you to depths within my majesty, your constant friend and counsellor, the wind that purifies

The thoughts that you’ve been given by the Son that walks beside you are your contact to his healing and his great expansive mind

So listen to your heartbeat, feel the nourishment that’s moving, feel the energy that’s coursing through the rivers of your veins

Feel my blessed heart within you, feel the gratitude that’s flowing from the Mind that’s giving birth to you each instant as you say

“I am yours forever, this is heaven, this is peace, you are my constant love and every instant I remember you”

And in your declaration I will fortify your clarity, strengthening and nourishing your widely reaching roots

And as you feel the gently rushing energies of love lifting up your mind to grace as you become the truth in me

Your heaven will extend to every kingdom in the universe of universes, in your giving that is where you’ll be

My lyrics to a beautiful electronic track by MVB

Being with you’s as easy as breathing
You are inside my heart beating
Troubles arrested, come now healing
Tornado of love, I’m reeling

Within me this dream is waking
Relieved by the depths of my heart breaking
You whisper my name and I can hear you
Vibrations of your love make me true


Matt Vincent-Brown (MVB) created and produced this track, I contributed the lyrics and melody. We only wrote two tracks together but I love them. It’s here on SoundCloud if you’d like to listen to it as well.

I Only Want to Hold You

A poem of discovering my home

Image created by the author with OpenAI Art Generator

The foxes have a hole
Within the comfort of the earth,
Their bodies curl together
In a gently warming hearth

Their tails wrap around their snuggle
Keeping out the cold,
The air is chill above them
But their comfort’s ages old

The birds they have a nest
Within the branches of the tree,
They rest together in the warmth
Of knowing they are free

They wake upon the morning’s air
And sing the moonlight home,
The atmosphere is wintry
But their hearts’ alive and grown

My heart is yours to rest within
My body’s out of time,
It’s energy is nourishing
The heart that is divine

The fountain at my centre
The pure vessel of my love,
Are gifts for your remembering
The grace that rains above

The only place the son of man
Has left to rest his soul,
Is in his brother’s mind
As we remember we are whole

The only warming body
That you have to lie within,
Is the body of the self
That holds us gently free from sin

We become the one
As we bring comfort to the mind,
That’s asking for the blessing
Of the heart that’s gentle, kind

We become the blessing
And our bodies perfect be,
As the fountain at our hearts 
Is opened to eternity

Eternally I love you
And eternally I see,
That my desire to hold you
To the heart that’s flowing free

Can giftly be a comfort
And no need a burden be,
I only want to hold you
In the warmth of certainty

Blossoming

A heart opening in gratitude and overflowing with love

Softening your heart to me
As I begin within your sight
To blossom as the beauty
Of a prayer taking flight

And as the petals open
There is nothing left to hide
My nectar is unfathomably
Bare to your delight

You taste it at my heart
And you are nourished to your soul
The fountain of my holy water
Always is your home

And you can rest your hand
Upon the wall that holds the flow
And let your fingers dabble
In the soft and rosy glow

I offer you to gorge upon
The fountain at my core
To dip your head within her:
Soft, embracing, wholly warm

You lift your head to breathe
Having been sanctified and blessed
As you rest a while upon
The sacred pillow of my breast

I offer you to come to me
And rest a while inside
The holy law simplicity
Would never choose to hide

The sanctifying ardour
Of the heart that flower be
Eradicating meaningless desire
From its dream

And as we sit together
With our hearts abreast, in time
The memory of peace
Is clarified and realigned

I feel you moving into me
Our bodies are combined
The tissues that ensconced us
Giving way to the divine

I rest upon your shoulder
All my hesitance forsake
As I recognise eternity
In every breath we take

I have found my refuge
In the blossoming heart that yields
A reservoir of treasures
Flowing from the love that heals

The Lion’s Heart

As the sky splits open to reveal your soul

Thanks to Alex on Unsplash

You are the light that burns in me
The lantern blazing through the dream
You are the peace humility
Can recognise and rest within

You are the great expansive mind
That wreaks a wildish havoc home
Unravelling the dearth of time
And glistening upon the throne

That opens as I gaze upon
The beauty that is not your realm
But feels as though it’s splitting to
Succumb to that which lies beyond

You are the peace that pulls me
To the deepest place within my heart
That opens me to caverns
Where I hid the painful, searing, dark

You are the fire that burns within
That draws me to your fireside
The ocean that I dive within
To find the things I’d hoped to hide

You purify the restless cawing
Cackling realms of graceless hell
And raise them up through tundras
To the sunshine on the shining swell

And as the sky with stars of gold
Decrees your shining constant light
Splits open to reveal your soul
I am beheld with blessed sight

And in your wholly loving gaze
I stand redeemed, re-graced, untamed
But gentle in your presence
As the lion’s heart regained

I stand within your wholeness
And I love what you have done
I am forever blessed in you
Your holy light, your son

The Fire

A prose poem burning in my heart!

Thank you to Max Kukurudziak for the image on Unsplash

When the fire in your heart cannot stop, cannot start but to flame all the folly you’ve conjured apart from the glory of peace in its thunderous roar and its pounding of waves on its silent shores

When the shadows you’d painted have cracked to the core all the canvases broken in heaps on the floor and the fire tears through them and rids them of form and the anger you’d felt is released and transformed

And the world that you see is a phoenix, a dawn, that rises from ashes, remoulded, re-born, but by hands that are sacred and know how to heal, by a mind that’s awakened and knows how to feel from the depths of its heart an infinite joy that creates in the wake of the love it employs

When the fire in your heart cannot stop, cannot rise, but to purge all the memories you’d deigned to baptise but will gratefully offer up to take their part as they whisper the seeds of a glorious new start

The Sacred Meeting

I have nothing to do but fall in love
The passionate wakings of my heart desire to keep, to enfold every human being within its infinite well
I have only love for you
In your shock, in your devastation, in your silent unheard longing for a reason, any reason at all
I am here for you
I cannot understand a hardened mind but love can penetrate, creeping, and find the vulnerability of a separated soul
Lost and alone and in desperate need of release from its self-evident constriction
Let me take you inside me
Inside my energetic structure, far beyond bodily or physical concerns
Let me take you into me
Penetrate my deepest longing to communicate with what I have held outside myself
Let me let you inside
Where we meet in gentle recognition of Self-hood conflict is forever loosened, the rusted grievance lubricated and released, nothing holds us together in solitude and anguish anymore
We can meet in gratitude
We can meet in certainty
We can meet, we can only meet, in love

Doing Nothing

Forgiveness is
Doing nothing

Standing or sitting still
And waiting
For the energetic release that empties you of everything
That empties you of the world
That shows you the world is nothing
That empties you of you
That shows you you are the world
That shows you you are nothing

Forgiveness is
Releasing everythingre

No specifics exist
For you to hold onto

Forgiveness is holy, non-specific
Whole mind, wholly, non-locality
Experienced in mind and body
Felt as resurrecting cells

This is a physical resurrection
Your awakening to wholeness
You ARE a body
If not, why do you need the lesson:
“I am not a body, I am free?”
But that you believe that you are bodily,
Physical, limited, contained

Forgiveness is
The release of location to non-locality
You, literally, disappearing

So does the world really disappear?
It already did
In one holy instant of forgiveness

You discover you are nothing
God is everything
And you are God

Whole Mind

Whole mind rains gently down upon me
A galaxy of sweetly falling stars

Whole mind rises through me
A sweeping rushing tide

Whole mind battles in me
Thunderous crashing power

Whole mind is simply, gently, generously
Still

Whole mind drills down through my body
Opens chasms of depth for me to fall down into
In which to find myself

Whole mind opens a vortex above my head
A spiralling joy of heavenly grace

Whole mind is a palpable field in which I find your mind
And we dance together
In glorious perfect harmony
