Longing and Satiation

Unrequited ~ Satiated self   Left true self insensate

Longings and Satiation

Physical emotions
Cravings need satiation

Chocolates flowers
Cut it just so much
Cravings stay

Body pandered to, butterfly
Mind flutters

Tickled by exquisite thoughts
Dressed in fragile words
Mind beamed captivated

Longings of heart, soul
Strings pulled taut
Ache persists

Now I wander meditate
Travel place to place
Delving within without

Man made wonders delight, natural
Wonders salve, I beak on manna
Pearls bestowed from above

Churches temples imposing edifices
Provide solace, but a child’s smile
A hopping bird has its own grace

Infinite wonder of creation, from leaf
To flowers to rivers, mountains waterfalls
My soul’s ultimate symphony, all

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
