IN THE SPACE OF OUR HEARTS
Watching you walk
Down the ramp
Towards the waiting airliner,
I watched us unwillingly
Becoming physically separated,
As I struggled to remember
That we cannot ever be apart
In the shared space of our hearts—
There, our love flows freely
On a level of communion
That nothing can
Interrupt or diminish.
This shifting from
Our last sweet embrace
To now having our bodies
Going in different directions
Is our test, our opportunity
To live without doubt
In that solitude
Of our soul’s communing.
But as I watch you
Until you are gone from view,
I panic on rising waves of
Overwhelming concerns
As my heart gently breaks
And rivers of tears flow
Down my cheeks,
Awash in remembering
The creeping pain
Of past separations.
But in the first few moments,
After you have disappeared
Into the plane and flown
Into the night sky,
And we are on our own…
I begin to face my solitariness,
Feel our inner communion stabilize,
And a confident peace
Rising against all my fears,
As I experience and know for sure
That though we are separated,
You and I can never actually
Be alone and apart
In the shared space
Of our hearts.

MY TRUE WORK ON EARTH
I am working
To open the secret place
Where all my songs
And visions are waiting
To be let out of,
And I am working
To awaken the sleeping
Parts of myself,
To enlighten the dark places,
To spread these wings
I feel so tightly folded
Against my spiritual body,
For I know that,
Day by day, my true work
While I am here on earth,
Is to discover and fulfill
My purpose and my mission,
To step into the power
And potential of all
That I truly am,
But have not yet
Claimed.
Everything else I may do
Or have or share is
Just a means
To that end…
Which is, of course,
Always meant to be
Our life’s true and
Ever fresh beginning.
