It’s Your Heart

A lesson received and gratefully understood

Can you start to understand, it’s because it’s you?
It’s because it’s your heart that the notes flow through
It’s your peace, your energy, consciously aligned
With the flow of beauty that is present in your mind

Can you start to understand, it’s because it’s you?
It’s because of all you are and all you cease to do
As your heart is moved to spell the voicings and the words
Clarity becomes them as they spill out and are heard…

Deep within the mysteries that consecrate the soul
Waking in the centre of the one accepted role
Peaceful, unbound, soaring, out beyond the stars
Every moment you receive the music in your heart

It’s because you listen as the notes come through
Holding them within your heart, alive within the truth
Every note is sacred, it’s an energy
Wrapped within the instant it arrives here from eternity

Every note is herald of the gleeful tide
Rising from the trickles that between your pebbles sigh
Rising to a culmination, raging at their core
Wildest inhibition casting, homeless, to the score…

All the notes you couldn’t seem to understand or see
As the joy of quietude comes rushing through your dream
As you let the well of life come rising, bubbling through
The sudden understanding that it’s because it’s you

Look What Happens!

Look what happens when I give my life to you
Little things, things I could not have dreamed of
Alone

Look what happens when I give my life to you
The void dispersed, the darkness cleared, and you can comfort me
At last

Look! Look what happens when I give my life to you
Your perfect entreaties that I be that which I am are finally considered
Deemed acceptable, and embraced
With arms open to the heart that speaks in bottomless glory to the soul in surrendered joy

Look! Look what happens when I give my life to you
All longings dispersed, discarded, rendered redundant, relinquished, released

All pain and fear of future loss removed and renounced
I am resigned to the ever-present incoming flood of unfettered beauty and peace that you are

Look! Just look what happens when I give my life to you
Look what happens when I give my life to you
Look what happens…

Here, now, just.. look!

That is My Mind

Space
Infinite glorious spaciousness
That is my mind

That table is my mind
That war is my mind

Crashing clashing
Conflict of tortured souls
Intricate beauty
Beyond my false projection
That is my mind

Happiness
Joyful expansive reflection of light
That is my mind

Terrible contraction of space-time
Ignorance
Death urge
Panic-stricken
Desperation
Anguish
That, that is my mind

Contemplative
Gentle
Peace
Renowned enlightened expression
Deep wisdom
Truth

That is my mind

Murderous raging rampage
Sultry sensual temptress
Indignant hostile fire
Cool, cold-shouldered turning away

Pain
Stabbing heartbreak
Sorrow

Vicious attack
Incarceration
Irretrievable blow

That, that pain is my mind
That lashes out, indestructible, unrecognisable angst, hell-fire raging in the soul
Temptation to drown, to crush and to kill
That, that too is my mind

The world is my mind
No escaping totality

Responsibility
Whole and unequivocal
Rests on my solid shoulders of separate self

Requires
Desperately seeks
Desires conversion

Receives totally
In its totality

Perfectly simple
Affording perfect peace

Separate self
Alone in guilt
Whole mind
Releasing all of form

Ministry beginning
Wholeness awakening in the one that says
That, that, that is my mind
