Your face

I swear, since seeing Your face,

the whole world is fraud and fantasy

The garden is bewildered as to what is leaf

or blossom. The distracted birds

can't distinguish the birdseed from the snare.

A house of love with no limits,

a presence more beautiful than venus or the moon,

a beauty whose image fills the mirror of the heart.

Spiritual High

Sounds like a signal from you 
Bring me to meet your sound 
And I will bring you to my heart  
Love like a signal you call 
Touching my body my soul 
Bring to me, you to meet me here  

Home be the temple of your heart 
Home be the body of your love 
Just like Holy water to my lips  

Yes I do know how I survive 
Yes I do know why I'm alive 
To love and be with you 
Day by day by day by day  

Time, time again, it is said 
We will hear, we will see 
See it all-in His wisdom-hear 
His truth will abound the land 
This truth will abound the land 
This State of independence shall be 
This State of independence shall be

Love me!

I was laying in bed, remembering days gone by. Lost hopes. Dreams dashed. Yearnings unfulfilled. I was laying in the tangles of my memories. I heard the pitiful voice echoing in the basement of my dungeon ‘what about me?’

And trite as it sounds, I heard ‘Love your neighbour as yourself. Jesus didn’t say, be loved, have your dreams fulfilled.’

In the blink of an eye, the moment transformed from the pitiful wail of a petulant ego, to the embracing of love. Love right now. Love what you’ve got. Love your neighbour, as you want to be loved. Imagine if we did that! Then not one of us would yearn for love.

Be the change you want to see.

Amen

The One

Gorecki by Lamb
If I should die this very moment
I wouldn't fear
for I've never known completeness
like being here
wrapped in the warmth of you
loving every breath of you
still my heart this moment
oh it might burst
could we stay right here
till the end of time until the earth stops turning
wanna love you until the seas run dry
I've found the one I've waited for
all this time I've loved you
and never known your face
all this time I've missed you
and searched this human race
here is true peace
here my heart knows calm
safe in your soul
bathed in your sighs
wanna stay right here
till the end of time
till the earth stops turning
gonna love you until the seas run dry
I've found the one I've waited for
the one I've waited for
all I've known
all I've done
all I've felt was leading to this
all I've known
all I've done
all I've felt was leading to this
wanna stay right here
till the end of time till the earth stops turning
gonna love you till the seas run dry
I've found the one I've waited for the one I've waited for the one I've waited for

Inspiration

While using the systems of the mind to view the word, we can only understand what we know. We can only build upon that which already is.

Seekers, seers, poets, wonderers, artists of all kinds have the capacity sometimes, to breach the systems of the mind. And we call that inspiration.

Inspiration is to be infused with the Spirit.

And what is inspired is not of the mind and can not be labelled as such. It is of a wider breadth than the mind can sustain.

Inspiration.
