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

Indivisible

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

I Am Everything

Wordless expressions of love
Experienced only

Indescribable:
Literally,
Impossible

A deep unqualified knowing
The deepest purest fullest sense
Of being known
Felt
Understood

Core nourishment
Relief
Deep deep tranquillity

Peace
Gentleness

Uttered through words unsaid
Joy
Gratefully
Naturally
Shared

Peacefulness
Peacefulness of heart

Mind
As I knew it
Rendered entirely redundant

This is mind
This communication
This indisputable sense of being found
This is Mind

This is gentleness
Grace
Perfection

Slow to judge
Quick to come to aid

Remember
You are this love
You are these fronds of noiseless union
Then
Clattering softly in midnight’s breeze
Shifting stars behind you in the crystal clarity of sky

You are this clarity of expression
Clarity of experience
Clarity of reality

You are this gentle knowing
Deep longing satisfied at last in love

You are this deep mind space
Separate entirely from tragic musings of earthly tombs

You are this noiseless communication
Gentle knowing clarity
Wholly of life

You are this peace
You are this beauty
You are this love

As I utter thanks to you
I realise the utmost absurdity
Of thanking form for truth

And the sky becomes my mind

And just for a moment
I am everything
