MAKING LOVE WITH THE UNIVERSE
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.
