LIKE A GOOD PURE MOTHER These poems are not like sparkly Rocks found on the ground— Easily picked up and examined And put into your pocket As a treasured talisman… These poems are golden Moments of flashing insight, Slices of our higher being Stretching around slippery words. Each new one that comes Must be given birth to After a period of growing From embryo of light and love, Just as a every child is— Making love with the universe, Conception and pregnancy, Contractions and finally the Delightful pain of birth itself. Thus I have carried these Babies of poetry within me Like a good pure mother, Giving birth to thousands of Sweet and lyrical children… And I care for them all lovingly Until they are grown, Until they may come to you To love and be loved as your Own sparks of light and joy.

ON MY WAY BACK TO YOU O my sweet Beloved— Help me let go of all I have been holding on to For far too long So that I can finally Come back home to You again. Help me to close the door On where all the dark Thoughts come through So that I can rise up on the flow Of all the good within me That is waiting and needing To be shared so lovingly. I know life is so much more Than these thoughts can ever reveal, So I am asking to be lifted up Beyond all this incessant logical activity Into the realm of unimpeded perception Pure, clear and free of mundane mind. O my sweet Beloved— I know that beyond all these restless thoughts Is where You are waiting and calling me With unconditional love to find my way through On this long journey across lifetimes And many births on my way back to You, And so tonight, in this solitude of prayer, I am crying out to you to help me To live out my days in your loving presence.
