Let me be..

Soul Talk

External spurs goad

Thought steeds towards

Internal sanctuary

 

Few avow soul is pure

Fraud, a slot machine

A disconnect from reality

 

Everyday, I stitch mouths of grief

With laughter cross stitches

Planting rows of smiling beds

 

Undertow of sadness

Is strong but my will tough

Enough to overcome it

 

Eyes anointed with holy water

Sight of ecstatic prayer flags against

Distant peaks, chiming monastic bells

 

All exude strange bliss within me

Reinforcing walls of inner sconce

Receptacle for my soul’s lit flame

 

As my feet hit ground every morning

I am thankful for his continued grace

Even as I long to opt out of life’s rat race

 

 

Sanctuary

Travelled far

Climbed high

Entered

 

Meditated

Reached

Inner sanctuary

 

Returned home

Meditated, entered

Inner sanctuary

 

Sea of Life

One learns to float upon the waters and respect the sea in order to survive…Katherine Wyatt Trinity

Holding a conch to my ear

I hear its call and rush

To submerge self

Life’s waters to safely

Trudge one must wear

Safety vests

Armed with implicit faith

I plumb its depths

Unafraid

My beloved floats on it

I hear his Pied Piper

Flute’s call

I need not pilgrimage

To far flung places, he resides

In every beating heart

Some have shut doors

To their inner flames

Lost in morass of grief, losses

I bank my inner fires

Steadying my flame

To ride what life tosses

Plumbing the oceans

Is never a cakewalk

I handcrafted own raft

Confident in his love

I dive unafraid

Celebrating bestowed
