THE POETRY OF HAVING PATIENCE UNTIL THE WHOLE DIVINE PLAN MANIFESTS

[**for the Yesod week of the sefirat HaOmer**]


Dear celebrators of the ultimate wholeness…………growth ---I know---can be such a tiring affair…..waiting around until the whole picture becomes clear…..wholeness is always the underlying design ----[and when you finally see it's magnificent light—then ---a greater wholeness will demand to present itself to you and your life]……the truth of the matter simply is that the wholeness of the wholeness already exists-----it's existed from the very beginning---it is the song that our souls are constantly singing…..it is G-d's knowing what is in our heart ---and our pro-active perception of how our heart's desire is unfolding right in front of our eyes……..it is our name that we've heard a thousand times before ---but on number one thousand and one ----we realize how our name is the essence of all that we do and all that we are……..it is that intuitive feeling we have deep inside that what is happening is not yet right---and then seeing ---in a flash of brilliant light that all the parts fit finally together…..it is the words spoken by Joseph to his brothers after such a long long time saying "I am Joseph ---is my father still alive?"….It is Gd saying I am G-d at the end of time-----and it is us then realizing all the reasons and rhymes for all that has come to pass ---and in wordless amazement we realize at last ---that this is what it's all about---not a trace of doubt……



I AM JOSEPH



***Maybe once in a lifetime

When the stars are all aligned

When the time is just right

Someone is going to say something

That will blow our mind

That will stop us dead in our tracks

And upon looking back at our lives

We come to realize that

This realization

Is the whole reason

We have been created

And until now

We have lived our lives

In some kind of sedated dream

And nothing ever seemed

To make sense

In the wholeness of it all

Until right now



***And the brothers were running around

Trying to cover their tracks

Not knowing

How to take it all back

The damage was done

Jacob's favorite son

Was constantly keeping them on the run

Until that fateful day

When in a seemingly 'by the way' fashion

The viceroy who was driving them out of their minds

Spoke up and said----"I am Joseph –is my father still alive?"

And a stunned silence fell upon them all

As they realized that all that was and is and will be

Became clearer than any clarity that ever has been or will ever be



***And you and me will ultimately see

Such 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



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



POETRY OF THE CONSTANT GUIDANCE OF THE DIVINE MATCHMAKER

[**for these last 2 Yesod and Malchut weeks of the Sefirat HaOmer**]

Dear seekers of the real Matchmaker….the One who knows that the match made in Heaven comes into being based on where you've been , who you are and where you will go---and that your partner is the appointed guiding Star ---complementing who you are , why you are---and they're never too far away -------and even when they are standing right in front of your face—they are led by the One above to show you when to stop and when to start and how to show you who you are ----and the complementary drinks are on the house ----when you are with your true spouse ---whether that be a human being or a state of being or your re-uniting with the Supreme Being---because they can complement everything that you do—--if you let them through ----the closed rooms that you often hide yourself in…...........here's some old and yet brand new poetic guidelines that may help you to leave the sidelines and jump into the headlines of your self actualizing saga

THIS UNCONSCIOUS DRIVE TO REUNITE

***a scenario that is set into motion
an unstoppable notion
that brought us
to the same
time and space coordinates
in a seemingly ordinary way
but anyone with eyes can see
that the extra-ordinary
is what was and is at play
there can be no other way
to explain this magnificent display

*** and this unconscious drive to reunite
is what has guided us though the darkest nights
through seemingly endless lifetimes
and our ultimate harmony
I eventually come to see
is what was driving me
our electricity is what was inspiring me
to go beyond what I never knew could be
but now I know
as you sit here beside me

ALL I WANT IS YOU

***there is nowhere else to go
You are the only one I know your words are truth they soothe my soul
they draw me to youlike the dark to the light
when it realizes the difference between wrong and right

***when I listen with my soul that's when I begin to hear your call
and all I want is you there's no one or nothing else at all
and I've come from so far away
to be here with you every day seemed liked years to get past my deepest fears
and now I am here there is no place I'd rather be
to me now this is crystal clear

*** Let us go now
into our endless mutual journey
into our reunited eternity into our liberated infinity
there is no place I'd rather be nor will there ever be



TO RE-UNITE

***** long lost souls in the anonymous night
generations and reincarnations of endless flight
and yet here we are amidst myriads of stars
and providential circumstances from near and far

***** and we were simultaneously selecting a path
a selection composed of hidden inclinations
all carefully engineered by the One
who sees and hears all there is to see
with ultimate grace and delicacy
and He's hiding these revelations
from the likes of you and me

*****He's fully aware in His conscious way
of the seed that He planted inside of us firmly
into our unconsciousness
a seed that set into motion
an unstoppable notion
that brought us to the same time and space coordinates
in a seemingly ordinary way
but anyone with eyes can see
that the extra-ordinary is what was at play
there can be no other way
to explain this magnificent display

***** and this unconscious drive to reunite
is what guided us though the darkest nights
and our ultimate harmony
I eventually come to see
is what was driving me
our electricity is what was inspiring me
to go beyond what I never knew could be
but now I know as you sit here beside me



WHERE YOU GO --I WILL FOLLOW

***** I extend to You my hand
take me where you will take me
across the seven Seas
take me to the Heavens and back
show me the inner sanctum
lead me into the Promised land
where You go I will follow
what You say I will do
I know that my life
is all about I and Thou
You will show me how
I will do and You will show me how
when You call I'll come running

*****even the Angels of Peace
have no permission to be here
in this holiest place
in this Divine embrace
in the embrace of life
in the embrace of trust
in the core desire of my Soul
there is no other place
I ever want to go

*****and we learned the recipe
a long time ago
when you placed the crowns
on our heads
and in our heads you taught us how
to step inside of Paradise
here on Earth
never to know dying again
never to experience crying again

*****I extend to You my essence
sight unseen I know that never will there be
such an opportunity for such bliss again
and all You ask is to take Your Hand
sight unseen

***please give me the vision to see
where all this leads
please give me the courage
to close my eyes and leap
please give me the wisdom
to know that You will set me free
for all of Eternity

***please give me the wisdom to know
that the beloved one
that you give me
to walk this life with me is constantly being guide by Thee
for our own wellbeing in the most profound way
that could possibly be


THE POETRY OF THE UNIFICATION OF YESOD AND MALCHUT



Dear seekers of the other half…..reachers for the right time and place ---the right personality and the right face……explorers of the just right combinations of like and love….star crossed carriers of the Earth and the Heavens above ….know that when there is love ---there is nothing that can stand in it's way…drink in this simple truth and never let it get away from you ---and all that you will do will be blessed and all your dreams will come true---and when you dance---have nothing else on your mind except to dance ---and know that you have nothing of your own except that which is graciously given to you



WAITING FOR YEARS

And she told him that she has nothing

Except for what he gives to her

And she told him that he fills her up

With the elixir of life

And he felt his heart, soul

Awaken like it never has before

And he told her that he has been waiting For years

……….for her

And she told him,

“ I am the Moon

“ And he told her ,

“ I am the Sun “

And she told him,

“ I am the faith “

And he told her ,

“ I am the wisdom“

And she told him,

“ I am the Divine presence “

And he told her ,

“ I am the Hidden Light “

And she told him that she has been waiting

For years

…………for him

And she felt her heart and soul

Awaken like it never has before

And her feminine waters

received his inner voice

And his masculine waters

gave her his allness

And her feminine waters

gave birth to what he gave her



WHEN THERE IS LOVE

**When there is love

There is no space too small

To keep them from being together

And there is no space too large

That can keep them apart





**When there is love,

Then all of the unquenchable thirst

That exists in the Universe

Will drive them to seek to

Return to the oneness





**And where there is love

That is created From sharing together

Thousands of experiences

And millions of love songs

And heart songs

And prayers

And blessings

And feelings

And fears

And pangs of guilt

And saying they're sorry

And knowing that they’ll

Come through for each other

Like they have

Endless times before

Then the love Will guide them

To return together

To The Oneness


AND SHE DRINKS HIS WORDS DEEP INTO HER SOUL

***and they sat together

underneath a canopy of stars

sipping wine

and with every sip

they slipped into a deeper and deeper trance

and sometimes chances will be taken

and words will be spoken

and doors will be opened

and when they are

one must jump in

or forever hold their peace

***and he knew this

and at first in a whisper

that could barely be heard

he told her

that she is the one

and she told him

that she couldn't hear what he said

[though she could see in his eyes

that he'd been waiting his entire life

to tell her these words]

***and she pours him another cup of wine

and he drinks

and finds the words

he'd been waiting to tell her

since the beginning of time

and he tells her I am yours

and you are mine

and she drinks his words

deep into her soul

until she too knows

that she is his

and he is hers

and never again

shall the twain part


OUR DANCE

We dance with words

We word-dance with passion

We word-passion-dance in a stream

Of flowing glowing gliding sliding heat

That flows into the sea of light

We dance with heat

We heat-dance with passion

We heat-passion-dance in a fire

Of burning churning yearning red hot light

That lights up the cosmic firmament

A laying on of hands

An intertwining of breath

A filling up of all that is lacking

A single-minded drive

Unknowing

Out of control

Blind as a bat To keep on dancing




SOUL MATES REUNITED



***there is nowhere else to go

You are the only one I know

your words are truth

they soothe my soul

they draw me to you

like the dark to the light

when it realizes the difference

between wrong and right



***when I listen with my soul

that's when I begin to hear your call

and all I want is you

there's no one or nothing else at all

and I've come from so far away

to be here with you every day

seemed liked years

to get past my deepest fears

and now I am here

there is no place

I'd rather be

to me now this is crystal clear



*** Let us go now

into our endless mutual journey

into our reunited eternity

into our liberated infinity

there is no place I'd rather be

nor will there ever be


THE POETRY OF ONENESS



Dear reachers for the oneness……..dear multi-dimensional alumni graduates of scattered vision-ness----intuition –more or less----is what has brought you to the edge of the abyss---- but deep down you know----- that when all your focus is not on anything but THIS ---that's when you take 1 small step for man ---and 1 giant leap into bliss-----so hear me--- you deep sea divers into aquatic unity……can you and me take a walk around ---and check out the scenery ----because I've been taught that Unity includes all the multiplicities under it's wings---and at the moment of Unity ---they all come together in sublime harmony unifying with intensity ----because in this place all that their eyes can see is the oneness---and the ultimate irony—is that the oneness is the key to reproductivity----are you beginning to see the pattern that is unfolding right in front of thee-------if not---try to engage your creativity with these offerings of poetry-----maybe then the fog will clear and the clarity will be clearer than ever before



UNION

the moment of union
when all existence unites inside
all yearning
all suffering
converges
and what emerges
is the realization
that there is only love
everywhere
embracing us
face to facing us
if we'd only
close our eyes
and see
what
only the celebrators
of synchronicity
the inner sanctum partakers
of unity
can see


IN THIS PLACE

***in this place
we only want
to connect,
to bond,
to fuse,
to interconnect,
to unify
all of the scatteredness
to transform
all of the partial-ness
into wholeness

. ***in this place
right and left,
dark and light,
day and night
heaven and earth
all come together
as one

***in this place
we say yes
instead of no
. we say go
don't stop
ever

***in this place
light is sewn for the righteous
light is sewn for the good-hearted
light is sewn for the person of faith

***in this place
eternal light
is sewn for the one
who turns dark into light
for the one
who turns bitter into sweet

*** in this place
in the tzila d'mehainuta
in the shade of Emuna
we are protected
by Her loving arms
The supernal Mother
there is no other

WHEN TWO BECOME ONE

**When two become one**
sublime desire is unleashed
love is released
love that heals
all of reality

**Keter and Malchut**
Source unfolding
to reveal
the manifest weekday
giving way to Sabbath rest

**Cause and Effect**
on display
The surrounding light
encompassing the inner knowing
for the perceptive
select few
to see in plain view

**Sun and Moon **
Revolutions of interplay
Eternal time-keepers
of night and day
complimentary lovers
of Nature's mystery at play

**Heaven and Earth **
Stars shining through
the trees hinting to all of us
how heavenly
life on earth
can truly be

**Man and Woman**
They dance the ancient dance
and the world keeps on spinning
and all of existence
comes to it's resolution

**When two become one**
sublime desire
is unleashed
love is released

love that heals
all of reality


PRIMORDIAL UNITY

*and everyone in this place
seems to be so self assured
little kings and queens
not in need of anything
or anyone

*and underneath it all
all I see is insecurity
everyone wanting to be
someone or something
they can never be

*and the primordial unity
it beckons to you and me
and even to the rocks
and trees
and we are all
a part of something bigger
than me , myself and I
no matter how much
we try
to close our eyes
we have no choice

*because
there is a voice
we can't ignore
it calls us
from a time
before
we were born
and it leads us
into the vast unknown

*at least until we know
that the place
we all want to go
the face behind the
mask that we all show
the love that drives us
the life force that rides us
is the primordial unity
that's where we really want to be
nothing else can set us free
