To learn



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.

miracle



by Shannondoah

I’d cross
every ocean

Follow every
star

Travel through
each galaxy

And ascend
every 
lifetime

for just
one
communion

with you
again

love 
has
no limit

love 
is

a miracle

reedsong



by Rumi
Persia (Afghanistan)

All day and night, music
a quiet, bright
reedsong. If it

fades, we fade.

silent heart


by Shannondoah

O great silent
heart
beloved love

we travel 
in the astral
planes

and sing
together at 
dawn and dusk

O great silent 
one
Great Mystery
beloved love

touch my hand
and 
see
my eyes

hear
my sound
feel
my embrace

loving you in 
all ways
always

we 
are 

connected

love of God



by Dante
Italy

The love of God, unutterable and perfect,
flows into a pure soul the way that light
rushes into a transparent object.
The more love that it finds, the more it gives
itself; so that, as we grow clear and open,
the more complete the joy of heaven is.
And the more souls who resonate together,
the greater the intensity of their love,
and, mirror-like, each soul reflects the other.

our truth




by Shannondoah

Our truth 
unfolds as we
open Our hearts
more and more

each sunrise
and every
sunset

love is all there is

really, when 
meditating
on
Great Mystery, 
Our Source

within and 
without

Love is Our Everything

All Our Relations

love brought us
together

and it can
bring us back 
home

to Ourselves
and then

to Each Other 


when the words stop




by Hafiz 
Persia (Iran)


When
the words stop
and you can endure the silence



that reveals your heart’s pain
of emptiness
or that great wrenching-sweet longing,


that is the time to try and listen
to what the Beloved’s eyes
most want to

say.
