The one
21 April 2012
Before you approach her -shine & tremble
May I ask
Have you
in the Presence of God
conversed with your soul?
Do you love her
beyond her looks
her words
her titles
even her womanhood
- all that which we do not take with?
Have you carefully observed
does her soul smile at you?
Do you remember
the key to her heart
is in the very Same Hand
yours is?

One pace
1 April 2012
I’ve always thought
doors need to open
and when they don’t
someone needs to knock
and that someone is me.
But when life invites me
not to be
but true
take one pace
on the path destined-chosen
I find
all that time
there has been
no door
words
no longer needed
no longer suffice
I slip
beyond that point
where utter amazement
deeply felt joy
makes me
all at once
laugh & cry
and I enter
a space
I did not know existed
am given
what I’ve been looking for
there where
I never had imagined
it would be
detachment
in the steady
furnace of love.

light-weight
23 February 2012
To understand
be understood
slipping in-between
different languages
not finding a word
not in the right language
sticky cobwebs
fog my view
or yours
speaking what seems
the same language
And then,
reading Holy Words
recite - reciter- reciteren - recitar
peeping in-between the cracks
seams come loose
myriad gateways
magically spun
unravel
and we catch a glimpse
of the Unity that holds us all
Wrapped in wonder & delight
teasing out the meaning of “smor” on a pack of Swedish heart-shaped ginger cookies
addressing a friend with “broertje”
finding “amparo” in a heart-2-heart conversation
being filled “d’allegresse”
The cobwebs lift
I put on again
my light-weight wings
and gently touch the side of your face.

L’Approche
14 February 2012
Dear friend,
You might not know
but your soul visited me
during the night
standing there
loyal
playfully pulling my ear
giving me a big brother’s hug
I knew
in that moment
this was not the first time
you consoled me
when approaching
fellow humans
during the day
does not go easy
or is misunderstood
souls go on their night’s mission
embrace the dream-heart
sow joy
and give each other strength
to keep on walking
on the white path.

The White Path
18 January 2012
How can I be
and be-come?
long
and be-long?
Being en route
- right here, right now -
sailing boat cruising
yet
young dog
leaping towards
that which is promised
anchored
sturdy roots
yet
high-reaching branches
ever-growing
its fruits gratitude
and faith.
a balancing act
movement and stillness
gratitude

Your soul dancing
14 December 2011
Waiting for alignment
resonance
Tibetan gongs travelling
through the mountains of our being
skipping over hill tops
glancing into valleys of
spring about to erupt
embracing the falcons
heading in the same direction
walking down the white path in silence
our tread in sync
your voice
a river steadily tracing its way
to its true Source
earthly coordinates
for that which lies deeper
I witness
your soul dancing
resonance
travelling

The rainbow inside
19 November 2011
Bursting through veils
breaking down walls
won’t you dance with me?
feel the spirit inside
it only knows joy
man-made cages
not its home
moving beyond language
beyond words
feel the spirit inside
it only knows joy
stretching its wings
further & further
being held
in the hollow
of The Beyond
The Unknown
its pit
and its firmament
joy
dance
moving beyond
- freedom dreams signs
