Holy Encounter

a holy encounter

one with God

here within me

directing me

speaking to me

My body the vessel of this communion

where the infinite can be a glory

like sun sharing wealth with the world

from within first I locate and be

with the everlasting song of eternity

there the bright star in my heart lays in the cool comfort of the wondrous empty bowl of the universes

I am here connected to it all

through this body I receive the messages of Divine importance

my mind lets go of attachment to controlling an uncontrollable world

instead I am focused on source

and from here my world changes

the curtains open and the stage of life looks different

feels different

there are no costumes I wear here

just the nakedness of nothingness

that all including me come from the flame of creation

and it is the breath of my spirit that keeps it burning

my dear soul is the love of my life

this true blue sky within the eye of my world

I trust and carry through

stop not at the minds games of doubt

telling me I have to follow the well trodden path

the path is inside me not outside

and sin is when I stray off my inner path

the path that I can only know

not another authority outside of self

we are the ones who know when we go a stray

and we are the ones that know the steps to take to return

into the garden of our own delight

not another

but the one that our soul sings

wear the wild on the inside of your flesh

do not swap it for material riches and promises

for the the great treasure you will ever come to know

is the bear essential

your true essence
