Poetry: Requirements
by Liam
I am where I am
You there where you are too
Still, no need to fret or stare
Because I do what I can do
Here now alone with what I’ve become
With you too it’s a complicated whole
No longer alone
Which leaves us asking why?
Which weaves us closer to the whole
Which temporarily fulfills the requirements of now.
Meaning you are who I’ve tried to become
But why?
Poetry: The Antenna
by Liam
While out in the wilds of the world one day
I found God in what a man did say
“What is that mystery crumpled in your hand,
Help me friend to understand.”
The gaze was grace so high I knew
Till heavens window through we flew
In this place, called to life
A force of love to end my strife
Folding out those creases deep could stretch my heart
Across the cosmos and the sky
Encompass all that’s ever been
Including all that is unseen
This organ given by life so free
This antenna linked to the cosmic me
Began to tune into this vibe
Began to pulse became alive
With this too I now could see that God as well
Resides in me.

Poetry: Worthy
by Liam
“You are worthy of love”, was said
A thousand times
The question of my worth
The reason of my birth has passed
Has even disturbingly resided in my mind
Those ragged jagged thoughts
Created, originated, equally resilient feelings of inadequacy
Desperate in emotional destitution
Love lost me then
Or was it I who had lost myself?
Neglected to quietly initiate my worthiness
This was about being meritorious, deserving and worthy of love!
The paradigm changed through recognition;
This me
This I
This biography is alone enough
Sufficiently enough too be worthy
To be deserving
To be meritorious
To be loved
I myself love the world
“ You are worthy “, said love.
Poetry: Shuffling Feet
by Liam
Autumn forest, the cold wind free
Trees throw gold and leaves to me
The trunks stretched tall
Trying touch the sky
I walking mind my step, my eye
Spies the sparrow, quick flying home to nest
The bushy squirrels tail
Leaps from branch to quest
The acorn, chestnut scattered wide
Scattered free
To gather quick and then to hide
For winters bleak, frost storm soon breaks
The joy which autumn here creates
Now in this all
I’m free to treat, my whistling tune with
The shuffle of feet.
Poetry: Contemplation
by Liam
As the heart becomes your place of contemplation
It’s because of the rubbing, polishing and care taken
That mirror beautiful begins to shine
Reflecting not alone it’s maker
Fresh healed and vibrant
Also the very substance of invisibility
An integral feeling of immersion
It’s the lovers lamp
It’s the light of the lost
It’s the reflection of God’s magnificence
In you
With you
Through you
By you
Poetry: The Astrolabe
by Liam
This pen, this ink, this page
Tools with which my thoughts anticipate
Words, words of mine
When graced by God
Becomes a feather,
Life on a wing, flying
Air flow thrusting meaning up towards heaven
Loves lightness, brightness flying out,
A dance where infinity becomes a drying line
Captured in the sands of time
This parchment held in the hand of mine
Words
An astrolabe of loves celestial quest
Eternally visible
Physically measurable
Magically understandable
Love
Poetry: The Mirror
by Liam
Love it’s branches spread
Wide since pre-eternity, laughed
As the intellect searching to understand, got stuck in a muck of words
It’s the lovers themselves who
Spin wordless amongst these leaves
Who shall share,
Know more, feel more of love
This is who they’ve become.
When love calls silently
it’s not words we hear
It’s the very universe which trembles
Heaven recognizing itself in the mirror of your own face
Smiles
Poetry: Resplendent
by Liam
Prepare now for the feast
To shine where before the rags
The waste and tatters of yesterday clung
To your life
Throw them off
Dress for delight
In robes of joy
In garments of love
This fine apparel to meet a King a Queen
Indeed no other, Royalty than yourself
Resplendent in the shine of becoming true.
Poetry: Seven Stars ⭐️
by Liam
In the center of my breast seven stars appeared
Each a gate to heaven
Each a moment of eternity
To be entered with one emotion
With one intention
To love joyously
On this path taken
The paradise of here
The pure nectar
of now
Given as I pass through the threshold of waking
Each and every day.
