Just.. Wait!

A perfect paradox

Just wait! Wait a moment
Do not troubled be,
That everything you had believed before
Is being released

Just wait! Wait deep within
The mystery that you’re shown,
Dismiss the need to understand
The beauty that you’ve sown

Wait! Wait for eternity
To open up inside,
It’s beating heart’s within your own
As you let yourself start to glide

Wait upon the moment
Of such glorious certainty,
That stops you in your tracks
And guarantees your future peace

Wait upon the something
That is pushing through the glebe,
Gasping for a breath of sunshine
On its tiny leaves

Wait within establishment
And watch its crumbling walls,
Apprehend its leaving 
As within, without, it falls

Take your prior complexity
Uproot it at its core,
Loose the mind that sought for freedom
In the dearth of ‘more’

Feel your way to present bliss
As you begin to see
That everything you’ve ever dreamed of
Lives eternally

Nothing here in form 
Can ever feed or ever give
The light you need
To understand what it is to live

Nothing here in form 
Can ever feed or ever raise
The light you need to see within
For you to feel praised

Nothing in the nothingness of form
Can ever show
The beauty that admits a glimpse beyond
To what you’ve always known

Nothing in the nothingness of time
Can ever be
What you are, what you’re being given,
Just you wait and see!

My lyrics to a beautiful electronic track by MVB

Image by author thanks to NightCafe AI Art Generator

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

Of Sound, and of Silence

A moment of recognising wholeness and peace, with complete gratitude

An abstract image implying a close up of sound waves

The help is more available than the pain
This strikes me as I listen today
After spending some time letting words flow onto the page
The fearful mind has been exposed and witnessed to, and now it can be still
The help appears: available to me in my mind
Perfect in its simplicity, glorious in its breadth
Its breath moves through me and I recognise its melody
Resting in each pause with a true master’s understanding
Of sound, and of silence

Rest — internal, graceful
What is my lesson today?
What do I need to understand? 
Where in my mind, in your mind, will you take me today?
This fiction is a classroom for the evolution of my soul
The rest appears; the help is the rest
The peace that passeth understanding every instant but now
I open into gratitude as the past is released into half-remembered patterns
Of sound, and of silence

The world itself is opening within my heart
There is nothing outside of the self I am in you
Everything is releasing and everything is available
All help, all rest, all peace, it is available to me now
You are the master that knows only giving all to all
You the one with perfect grace, perfect understanding
You the only path worth walking in the dreaming of this world
In the dreaming of colour and of darkness
Of sound, and of silence

Drenched in Peace

Saturated to the gentle depths of an endless love

Thank you for the photo: by D. Carlton from FreeImages

I whisper on the seeds of an open, wild night to my dearest love, far beyond the body of this form.

He welcomes and engulfs me, circling above before diving within, taking root in the deepest nature of my being.

Here I am, mysterious generosity that gives me to myself in you.

I am a whole part of your belonging. I inherently become my own deepest need, fulfilled.

Palpable presence, the physical becomes vibration, body form dissolved.

The richness of your gratitude embalms my ancient grievance and releases the mind that had been desperately waiting to be released.

Explosions of gently unfolding magnificence. I am saturated, drenched in peace beyond conceptual thought, beyond the world of time.

I will see you here again, my perfect love of wholesome gratitude; the Self that is but singular yet never alone.

I will see you here, beyond my forms of solitude, and I will love you every moment in between, see your perfect translation of perception, and feel the perfect comfort of your course, your onward river’s flow.

I will love you, infinitely, eternally, with the love that in this moment of gentle surrender you have given to me.

You are my one, true, perfect, joyful, all-encompassing, love.

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

Indivisible

A lesson received from a palm tree on a wholly beautiful night

Image by David Miller from Pixabay

Precious union
One Mind speaking
To me or from me?
No distance
Indivisible

A voice within the mind
Addressing itself
But from far beyond
It’s tiny walls of self
And yet itself still

Larger
Infinite in magnitude
Wholly inclusive
Everything

The recognition
That we address each other
Simultaneously
With the same words

Undifferentiated
Subjective
All within
Infinite in capacity
Unencumbered

Graceful
Gorgeous
Pure
Indivisible

Some Form of Peace

2 Comments

Your answer is always some form of peace
And I am alone again
Chaos relieved and released
A shambles of stories, beliefs
Infinitely familiar
Removed and uprooted, like brambles
Cut back and displaced
Erased, eradicated, reduced to nothing
Lifted, risen, raised
Above the battlefield again
My mind is gentle
You are here with me in love
Angel of simplicity
You are love
All thoughts about things
Eradicated, simplified, released
There is nothing in my determination to be in conflict
I choose peace
You are with me and I have nothing else to choose
I am still now
Mind bent yesterday on defamation
Of everything peaceful and clear
Now you are with me
I return into the simplicity of your love for me
I return into the clarity of my total responsibility
I return into the gentleness of my invulnerability
I am released
And you are here with me.
Thank you
Your answer is always some form of Peace

God’s Answer Is Some Form Of Peace. All Pain Is Healed;
All Misery Replaced With Joy. All Prison Doors Are Opened
And All Sin Is Understood As Merely A Mistake.

The Sacred Meeting

Leave a comment

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
