Poems

It's been a while since I've posted on this, but I thought I'd share a few poems that came through me a few days ago:

Walking into God
Everything falls away
My gifts, my faculties, my famous talents.
Even thought gets quieter.
Other ways present themselves--
Other ways of thinking, being, creating
All of a sudden I find the earth in my heart,
A galaxy caught spinning in my throat,
Empty space where my mind used to be.
I feel the Creator in the structure of space itself--
Holding the heavenly bodies just like he/she holds earthly bodies
My heart talks to me.
Whether it is my own voice,
The voice of an angel,
Or God,
I don't know.
But it seems to have a lot more love
And forgiveness
Than I ever thought I could muster.
This morning,
My heart reached up its golden wings to me
Embraced me
And told me all would be well.
She forgave me
For the petty insults, confusions, judgements
That I had placed on her (myself) in the past.
What stunned me was my own heart's ability to forgive myself,
I know not where the words came from
Just that she (my heart) spoke
And I listened
And I cried.

...

Oh thank Heaven!
I can hear my heart again.
I can hear the voice of angels
In my chest
I can feel her (my heart's) glee
I am melting
Deeply melted into a heart that knows how to forgive
It's funny--
It's not my heart that is melting,
But everything else:
mind, breath, brain, throat, body, soul.
My heart is the source of warmth
That is doing the melting.
It says, "Here! Come melt into me! I want to love you!
Come closer so I can transform you into beauty and light."
How strange
To walk about on crutches
For half a life
Then discover that nothing was ever broken.

...

You must receive what is coming to you.
The whole Universe is coming to you.
Nothing less than God.

Put eyes in your heart
Let your heart see for you
Close your eyes
And feel what your heart is.
Trust me,
You will be surprised.
