words

on this page

burn like

sage

smoke in the

air

it doesn’t always

feel fair

sometimes 

i think

i can’t 

take one more

minute

without you

in my arms

you holding 

me

to your heart

breath upon

breath

forever love

beloved

scriptures

by LALLA (India)

To learn the scriptures is easy,

to live them, hard.

The search for the Real

is no simple matter.

Deep in my looking,

the last words vanished.

Joyous and silent,

the waking that met me there.

mountains

by Shannondoah

i love you

in the mountains

i love you

in the sky

i love you

in the midnight

and the morning

all the while

i wake up

in the sunshine

and dream 

of you

and smile

i imagine

our love

is like the 

stars

infinite, 

like a 

wild 

song

i became you

by MAHADEVIYAKKA (India)

When the body becomes Your mirror

how can it serve?

When the mind becomes Your mind

what is left to remember?

Once my life is Your gesture

how can I pray?

When all my awareness is Yours,

what can there be to know?

I became You, Lord, and forgot You.
