THE POETRY OF LACKING AND COMPLETING
Dear yearners for completeness –sweet serene completeness---completeness that can only begin to be revealed ---after you have tasted the vast emptiness—the stark lacking—that generates a primal desire to be complete ---and the new Moon that inspires the Sun to shine with greater intensity------and the subtle hints that are shared discreetly by he and she—secretly dreaming of the embrace they will eventually taste---the face to face embrace revelation of everything they feel for one another---all in the right time-----because there is a drive inside---that yearns for completion—that yearns to be free---that yearns to be shared with ourselves and others –the totality of who we are and who we are becoming---that yearns to see this in everyone and everywhere-----and there is a vision of bliss----an insight of knowing that 'this' and nothing else is everything I need----and in the mean-time we drink up the cup of wine—the cup of intoxication and we color our imagination with the realization
that G-d knows what is truly our heart's song—so we can allow ourselves to wait a little longer---another night , another day---until G-d opens up that door---and shows us a wholer way----and on that day ---all the lackings will be completed in wondrous ways
YEARNING FOR COMPLETENESS
*there is a drive inside of us
that yearns for completion
to be whole to be in harmony
to be connected to be free
*there is a drive inside of us
that seeks the experience
of being completed
by one who has
all that we lack
*there is a drive inside of us
that knows that sharing
the entirety of ourselves
with another will elicit in return
the other's sharing
of their entirety with us
*there is a drive inside of us
that will bring us ultimately
to discover that special one
that special completer
that precious one who we will join with
until we become one
one in body one in spirit
one in wholeness
one in completeness
VISION OF BLISS
**and the void
that constantly beckons
seeks to overcome
all lackings
all needings
until the private well
that we
protect so dearly
becomes an overflowing
constant emanating
wellspring
**and there are doors
that have been closed
that are
beginning to open
and there are desires
and visions
and longings
and birthings
that are beginning
to appear
and to manifest
**and the lifelong vision
of a life that's full
and overflowing
finds it's realization
in the knowing
that the ultimate
way to be free
is to love what is
is to be in bliss
with what is
this ironically enough
is the vision of bliss
A REVELATION
***And you and me will ultimately see
a revelation
When the Master of the Universe
Will recite one verse For everyone to hear
"I am G-d" he will say
And all of mankind Will suddenly realize
The reason for all that was and is and will be
And thus we will all be
ushered in to the World of Eternity
CRAVING
***when it became clear
that the only way
to become her full self
was to listen
to the voice
that was screaming
inside of her
she unleashed
such an exotic display
of craving
that anyone who thought
that they knew her well
realized they didn't
really know her at all
***it's a fact of life
that when our very being
senses that the opportunity
to complete ourselves
is standing in the flesh
right in front of our eyes
and most likely this chance
will not come along
ever again
and that is when
all of our inhibitions
are stripped away
like a towel
that is tossed away
when we dive into the waves
***and she knew
that the craving
that filled her being
was setting into motion
the life long healing
that she had been waiting for
her entire life
and with gratitude and ecstasy
she set herself free
to be what she was always wanted to be
WE CAN WAIT A LITTLE LONGER
And the more that we receive
from the One who gives
with a perfect giving
and the closer we come
To the source of all things,
to the Supernal Holy One
The smaller we become ,
the smaller that we are
In the shadow of the Creator
, on the path of evermore
and
We can restore
all of the glory
that once graced
our holy people
We can recover
our mastery of wisdom
and Gd connection
and prophecy
and infinite compassion
and infinite love
right now
if we let it
enter inside of us
and
Though we have been waiting
for these glory days to appear
since the beginning of time
we can wait a little longer
if we have to
because
We are cosmic warriors
When we face the Blackness
We just know that the Whiteness
Waits just at the edge
Of the horizon”
ALL SHE HAS GOING FOR HER IS THE KNOWING THAT G-D KNOWS WHAT'S IN HER HEART
***she doesn't know where she's going
she doesn't even know what to ask for
she doesn't want to be let down again
she's been through that process time and time again
she sits knowing that what she needs is to find the one
who can help her create her own home
she finds herself back where she started so many times before
she finds herself alone
***she talks it over with the man
he tells her he can only hear
the healing remedy for her fear
in the very words that she speaks to him here
and so….the words that she speaks
only strike for him a chord
when she mentions
in a by the way kind of way
that all she has going for her
is the knowing
that G-d knows what is in her heart
***that's when the man's eyes light up
this ---he tells her--- is not just a good start
this is everything--- all wrapped up
in the most beautiful form of navigation
all she has to do now is
to watch with fascination
how all the unfoldings of her life
are just a manifestation
of G-d's knowing what's in her heart
and starting that day
she listens in a whole new kind of way
to everything that her heart has to say
and she watches her heart's messages
revealing to her all
like a waterfall
transforming itself
into a parade
of wise sages
whispering to her the
wisdom of the ages
and unraveling for her
every day and every night
the unveiling story of her life
OPEN DOORS
...a door closes
another one opens
...the flow is stopped up
like it has so many times before
...and there is no choice
but to close your eyes
shut you ears
and jump on in
again
...but when the will
is activated
there is nothing
that can
stand in it's way
...and David
was the fighter
par excellence
...and all that
stood in his way
was brought low
because he knew
the language of war
...until one day
he understood
so much more
...and all the doors came flying open
because his heart became a void
...and all the opposing forces
from within
and from without
were shut down for\ever more
...and to the extent
that you have no doubts
your life will leave you
in peace
your inner struggle
will cease
...and you'll know no more fear
and the only thing you'll hear
are all the walls come tumbling down
and all the closed doors
open up like they never
have before
A WHOLER WAY
and when we begin to see a wholer way
when we start to piece together the night with the day
when we see how the past births the present
and the present gives rise to the future
then we will begin to know
that all that we come across
and that everything that we go through
is only a small part of a story
designed for me and you
and there's really not that much to do
but to embrace and believe
with a knowing ,
with a flowing
this ever growing
and unfolding wonder-filled reality
full of grace and mystery
is bridging us to eternity
THE POETRY OF THE MYSTERY OF THE OPENING OF THAT WHICH HAS BEEN CLOSED
Dear lovers of the overcoming….dear defiant ones ---who refuse to take no for an answer…..you are the great hope of all those who get locked out and refused---who get spit out and abused---who get locked in behind closed doors---and never are really told what for….the mystery of life's personalized trials and tribulations beckons you to use your imagination and break through ------so find the key and unlock locked doors and set yourselves and everybody else--- free---you are the reason that the world was created for ….you are the World's destiny--------you are the very thing that the whole world is waiting for------you know very well that when one door opens ---ten more open in it's place… send a message to the whole human race ----that the time has arrived ----humanity will survive and thrive and a new time will shine ---a time that will reveal the mystery of Creation------namely --the realization ------that all that was closed was only closed ---so that some brave souls would open those closed doors---for evermore
SEE YOUR REFLECTION IN ALL THAT TAKES PLACE
see your reflection; in all that takes place;
in all the faces you meet
in the love they share
in the thoughts in your mind
in the feelings you feel
in the unexpected twists and turns
in the miracles that only you can see
in the words that come to your ears
in the signs and hints presented to you
in the knowing glances surrounding you
in the subtle messages expanding you
in the fearlessness embracing you ....
THE WHOLE WORLD IS WAITING
and the morning
finally spoke to him
in bright tones
and assured him
that he can speak now finally
he's been waiting
for the chance to show
anyone who would listen
what he really felt
without having to censure his words
lest he would be misunderstood again
and we live in a time
that poetry and music and rhyme
are beginning to open up to one and all
in waterfall fashion with unlimited passion
and all these words can be truly heard
in the hearts and minds
of everyone who is looking to find
who they really are
and what they have to say to the world
that no one else can say
but that everyone else needs to hear
to complete them
to elevate them
to inspire them
and so--the man with the big appetite
to spread the word
to one and all
began to sing a new song
not as a performer
not as a reformer
but as one
who gently invites
anyone who is willing to
give it a try
to let their own voice
be heard
in the middle of the night
in a way
they haven't dared to yet
your voice is everything
the whole world is waiting
the world was created for you
speak up sweet souls in the way that only you know
OPENING DOORS
...a door closes
another one opens
...the flow is stopped up
like it has so many times before
...and there is no choice
but to close your eyes
shut your ears
and jump on in
again
...but when the will
is activated
there is nothing
that can
stand in it's way
...and David
was the fighter
par excellence
...and all that
stood in his way
was brought low
because he knew
the language of war
...until one day
he understood
so much more
...and all the doors came flying open
because his heart became a void
...and all the opposing forces
from within
and from without
were shut down for\ever more
...and to the extent
that you have no doubts
your life will leave you
in peace
your inner struggle
will cease
...and you'll know
no more fear
and the only thing you'll hear
are all the walls
come tumbling down
and all the closed doors open up
like they never have before
TO BE IN A STATE OF ACCEPTANCE
***The absolute commitment To be in a state of acceptance, Accepting all that comes down From the One Above As being the very best possible Of all possible scenarios
*** Elicits measure for measure The ultimate Divine response That all that we do, Though we may make A thousand mistakes and blunders, We are nevertheless Unconditionally accepted as we are
*** I am for my beloved And my beloved is for me I receive my beloved with allness And my beloved Receives me in allness:
***My world manifests itself to me As I see it , When all I see is it’s goodness Even when others would see No goodness at all Then my world responds And shows me Nothing other than her absolute goodness
*** Be and see and think and feel That all is good And all that you will encounter Will be absolutely good In response
BEING MINDFUL IN A MINDLESS WORLD
*so how in the world are you supposed
to keep yourself in a mindful state of being
when you are being bombarded by the world of lies
and the world of deception--day and night?!
*and how in the world are you supposed to be mindful
in a mindless world when every step you take
is met with a frontal attack
of people, problems and situations
that are forcing you into mindlessness
[or at the very least---small mindedness] ?!
*the answer, my friend
is blowing in the wind---if you're receptive enough
to hear the call of the wind ....if you're quick enough
to oscillate at the speed of light
....if you're sensitive enough to see how the darkness
is hiding the light
: *and G-d Hides his Face
and hides His ways and plays hide and seek
with everyone He meets--but when we see past
this world's facade...when we see
that the wizard of Oz is pulling the levers--
then the clever ones look behind the curtains...
and learn that the one thing that is certain---
that the purpose of it all is to reveal to one and all
that He is waiting for us to find Him
and show that the essence of His ways are enchanting and amazing
and once we get it all untangled and unfurled --
we will know how to be mindful in a mindless world
THE POETRY OF RADICAL ACCEPTANCE
[**some more healing poetry in these days of uncertainty and difficulty to accept what comes our way**]
Dear seekers of the peace---keepers of the calm----survivors of the ongoing storms ----acceptance…radical acceptance seems to be the call of the wild---in these wild times---and the lines of adaptation that pervade our nations and our collective imaginations----evoke a deep abiding need to be free---to let go of the angst that dominates our inner beings-----so perhaps we need to reframe the way we see---perhaps we need to accept things –radically---just the way they are---Divine wisdom custom sent---let the resistance go and trust the fact that what has come your way is what is meant to be so try to be appreciators of just the way things are------and acceptors of what life throws at you—the good and the better and everything in between..the simple and the involved
---and become knowers that all the problems will be solved-----and try to be thank you say-ers –--every night and every day-ers---accepting all that comes your way----as being sent from the One above with endless love
ACCEPTING ALL THAT COMES DOWN FROM THE ONE ABOVE
***The absolute commitment
To be in a state of acceptance,
Accepting all that comes down
From the One Above
As being the very best possible Of all possible scenarios
Elicits measure for measure
The ultimate Divine response
That all that we do,
Though we may make
A thousand mistakes and blunders,
We are nevertheless
Unconditionally accepted as we are
*** I am for my beloved
And my beloved is for me
I receive my beloved with allness
And my beloved Receives me in allness:
***My world manifests itself to me
As I see it ,
When all I see is it’s goodness
Even when others would see
No goodness at all
Then my world responds
And shows me
Nothing other than her absolute goodness
ONE STEP CLOSER
***Can't you see
that every breath that you take
and every move that you make
are bringing you one step closer
to a place of bliss way beyond this
figment of imagination
this mistaken identification
of who you think you are
and where you think
you are going
***And where you think
you are going
is only showing
that you haven't yet
stepped into the KNOWING
the knowing that that comes
from seeing that every situation
that you thought
could have no resolution
actually holds inside of it
the solution all the solutions
that will come to be born from the misery
into light that will surely be with us eternally
LETTING GO OF THE STRUGGLE
****the struggle persists and insists
that it's the only way to keep yourselftruly alive like a bee hive of constant activity and the bees sting anything that gets in their wayeven though there's a price to pay the ultimate price complete self sacrifice
****and King David prayed to reach a place
of complete serenity ''Libi Chalal B'Kirbi''
''My heart is void inside me'' and he was propelled into a new way of being
a new way of seeing: a way devoid of the struggles of the day to day
a way that escapes the fears and worries and needs and yearnings
****a way where all
is perfect as is
a way of eternal bliss
a way of radical acceptance
a way of eternal presence
the struggle persists
and insists
unless you know this
SUBMISSION
~~~~here in the land of submission
we are given permission
to let it all go
~~~~all the voices are in harmony
all the choices are in synchronicity
all the love is shared freely
all the smiles are given effortlessly
~~~~ and you and me
can finally see
at the dawn's rising
a realizing
of all
we have been
dreaming of
~~~~here in the land of submission
A little bit of self contrition
Goes a long way
~~~~all the voices inside of your head
Are slowly but surely quieted down
Words that you might have said
Once upon a time
Are set aside
And new voices of calm and quiet
Find their way into your mind
~~~~ and you and me
Begin to experience
A subtle transition
That is only known
To the citizens
Of the land of submission
THE MAJESTY OF SELFLESS MALCHUT POETRY
dear receivers of life's abundance....dear believers that the greatest allness is here for the receiving .....and the majesty of the selfless Malchut is that though she may seem to have nothing at first sight....in the end she knows that her plight is to reign over all in grace and love and her nothingness becomes everythingness when all is said and done..........maybe some poetry will illuminate this unique reality
ACCEPTANCE
***she embraces all that's inside her
and everything everywhere ...
her body is a sanctuary
she welcomes every sensation ..
her heart pumps with endless love
for all who dare
to share with her their heart
[and even those who don't] ..
**she sees miracles constantly
in the sun setting
in the shy smiles
sneaking their way
onto shy faces a
nd into her heart
**her mind is always aware
of the gift that's presented to her
right here right now
no matter how big or how small ..
**she sends up her prayers
onto a cloud
she knows that The One will come through for her
just like He has a thousand times before ..
**she trusts that all that comes her way
in G-d's own time
will be exactly
what she needs
and she accepts one and all
with the sweetest of countenances ..
and they all accept her
with the deepest love
WE CAN WAIT A LITTLE LONGER
***And the more that we receive
from the One who gives
with a perfect giving
the closer we come to Him
***And the closer we come
To the source of all things,
to the Supernal Holy One
The smaller we become
,
***And the smaller that we are
In the shadow of the Creator
on the path of evermore
the more that we can restore the glory
*** And we can restore
all of the glory
that once graced
our holy people
We can recover
our mastery of wisdom
and Gd connection
and prophecy
and infinite compassion
and infinite love right now
if we let it enter inside of us
***And though we have been waiting
for these glory days
to appear
since the beginning of time
we can wait a little longer
to be born
if we have to
because We are cosmic warriors
And when we face the Blackness
We just know
that the Whiteness
Waits just at the edge
Of the horizon
FULL DISCLOSURE
they've learned to speak a new language
an articulation of full disclosure
those days of hiding and fear are finished and over
now there's no holding back
their new-found sentiments are creating fresh new tracks
in the virgin snow in places they've never known
there's no longer anything
separating her from him as if it's always been
this way and yet it's the start of a brand new day
for the water to truly purify
there must be nothing separating the body from the water
for true love to be shared
there must be nothing separating his soul from hers
full disclosure
SHE HAS NOTHING OF HER OWN
*** she has nothing of her own
except for what you give her
she is lit up in effervescent light
from what she receives from your hands
***she makes you come alive
she extricates you
from your real and imagined chains
she is a vision
constantly waving at you, enticing you
at the edge of your consciousness
compelling you from afar to have a closer look
to jump into the bliss of her allure
of her demure
***the point is this;
when someone lets you know
that your words
and your thoughts
and your heart
and your soul
allows them to be
enables them to see
that's when you realize
that it is actually she ,
and not me ,
who holds the key
who holds all the keys
to set you free
AND SHE SPEAKS IN EMOTIONS
*and she speaks in emotions
and her emotions
can make
a emotionless man
feel again
*and she speaks in compassion
and her compassion
can melt away
the hardest hearts
*and she speaks in silence
and her silence
can wake up
the deepest sleeper
* and she speaks in love
and her love
can convince
the hater to see
things differently
*and she speaks in Gdliness
and her Gdliness
can open up
the door
for the denier
to believe
*and she speaks in aliveness
and her aliveness
can cause
the dead
to rise
to life
*and she speaks in hope
and her hope
can show
the despairing
the light
at the end
of the endless night
SHE WILL REVEAL
deep inside she hides
and no one knows
she dares not show anyone
even herself
and she knows
that when she will find
the right one she will reveal
a love so fragile a love so real
a love so beautiful a love so vulnerable
a love so perplexing a love so liberating
a love so powerful
that anyone who will witness
this love will be stunned
will be healed
will begin to reveal
to themselves
their own
hidden places
and these reservoirs
will spread
like wild fire
and love
will be found
every where
LOST AND FOUND
*he hadn't spoken to her
for such a long time
they carefully
tiptoed their way
through the niceties
*small talk
became heart talk
they know each other well
that never goes away
. my dear friend
she confided to him
"I'm lost
and I can't find my way
so much brokenness
has shattered
and scattered
everything I do
and everything I say"
*he fell silent
for a brief time
and then an idea
came to his mind,
*"there is a way back
this is what you can do,
listen to the word
that comes to you
in the quiet times
that comes
to fill up your mind
and then enter into
the soul of the word
until all that is left
is a melody
and this sacred melody
will allow you to see
the way to come back home
to come back into your own
to really feel your soul"
and slowly
but surely
she found herself
she found her way
in everything she did
in everything she would say
