I.n E.ssence



We act in ways not easily explained

Falling in and out of love…
like occasional rains

Processes in life
chance interactions may provide

Our placement
in the heart of minds

Where our will
coincides with others, so inclined

Which comes
remembering kindness shared

Emotions of our consciousness
in natural flow

By gravity as it presents itself
implanted By love’s kisses

in echoes of loving tenderness
Which reverberate within in our souls

Shared energies sent with an impetus
Which may exist in our lives…

in a ripple, a wish

An overflowing
cornucopia of compassion

Streaming from
the Creators gift

As oceans of our devotions
pour together

Merge and converge,
interactions of our attraction

to one another
recreate effervescence,

with a warmth and radiant glow
in times like this

Tides which flow
between our minds and hearts

As dreams charge
and regenerate the light of love

What most brings
calm and reassuring rhythms

to our souls

as the shadows of things
which bring us pain

and sadness fall ...
in waves breaking on shores

of all we know And love…

 the gift given in passing returns,
back to source

growing just as we find all things
of love in time

must come and go
as we live, we come to know.

As we learn
to ease the suffering.

To erase
from the active pathways
of our minds…

The pain of its time
of passing

On beyond this world
from one dimension to the next

As we further explore places
where further traces

Of repeated patterns of mistakes
reside in force,

Leave us with bad tastes

where we’ve been burned
Where we must atone.

At least make distant

In some way/overcome
the inclination to return

By renewed sense
of what danger there is

As we continue
to work our way through time

No longer blinded by errors

Ashes to ashes, Dust to dust…
Till Glory comes.

To find a garden of peace
in a place of trust.

A new freedom
to live and love…

To raise a family
to continue

A prelude to love
