LEARNING TO LIVE IN LOVE WITH A WIDE OPEN HEART AND KEEP THE WAVES OF LOVE EVER FLOWING “Love is our very nature And reason for being born— To bring more Love to earth And be Love in this world.” I may not notice When I slip back into Trying to live and breathe With my heart tightly closed. When it happens so gradually, Under the stress and strain Of hard days and nights in vain Or any other unconscious reason Then, as my heart closes, My consciousness starts to dim Like storm clouds sweeping in To block out the warm sun’s light. We are so used to living With our hearts tightly closed, Like a locked iron door, That it is hard to remember That this is not what life is for, That there is no life at all When the tide of our love stops Flowing behind shuttered hearts. But for me, the pain of having My love stop growing soon becomes Too much for me to bear As my eyes become blind to seeing And my being stops feeling And my inner light starts to Turn into spreading darkness That sputters and dies within me. As the pain grows like a sudden Hurricane of hurtful energies, I always suddenly realize that This heart that is meant to be open Has become like a stone As the very life in me Drains away in silent suffering Until I wake up to my peril And begin to make my way Back to the sweet Love I really am, that is my Reason for being born on earth. As tears cascade in torrential flow, The iron doors over my heart Melt away as if they had never Been and I come alive again. My friend, we are all the same— We came here to join with everyone In learning how to really love While we still live in these bodies. If your love is not flowing, If waves of love are not rising up— Then, my friend, hear from me That this is not what life is for— Open your heart here and now And reclaim your power, your Consciousness and your freedom And freely share your love— Share your sweet love with everyone, For it is really true and sure— Love is our purpose and guiding light, Our life, our salvation and reason for being.
