Poetry: One to Eight
by Liam
The one Divine permeates the pattern
Man and Woman create the third which crawling cries
Four corners build the framework of the dwelling
These five senses connect you with a driving mind
The six directions bind you with a life to strive for
Be as clear today as you are in all seven
Be to heaven as you appear
with God innate
Poetry: Phoenix
by Liam
What should I do but participate in love
The troubles the turmoil and pain
Gain nought for this flame melts all
It’s from those ashes
Dusty and grey that the Phoenix of Love rises
Born from shame we emerge anew
Glowing in the refractive glance
Of Gods own giving
Touch feel free of what was
Intimate integral emancipated in this adventure of now
Me is immaterial, it’s about the ecstatic emulsion of Heaven and now
Whipped up in waves of intensity
Turning towards the source
Happy just because it’s you
Found free alive, in me.
Poetry: The Chaff
by Liam
Mingle friends each with the other
Share the joy of day sweetening life
With a smile with a laugh
We undo the knot of insecurity binding us to the uncertainties
Only God infinity knows
Where when why we
Step forward into the light of the other life
Eternity is simply this
Momentary ripple in the wind
Captured as we throw or lives like chaff leaving the seed
One falling one flying
One begins one ends
Each day
Poetry: Enough
My primary, initial and most valuable relationship
Is neither you, nor them or the other
This love affair is invisible, quiet and immersive
It’s my responsibility to care, love and support myself
It’s the whisperer of encouragement in moments of doubt
It’s the shine of a smile after
we have danced about
It’s the warm recognition
Both me and me are enough
Enough to fill the day with warm well done
Enough to laugh in the shining
sun
Enough to know this foundation is a fountain of who
Else can grow and learn this too.
Poetry: My Perception
by Liam
Each day sends me a teacher
My eyes, that seeing is not all sight
My words, that talking could contribute to understanding
My deeds, that doing aught be helping
Perception, is also communication
With the Devine
Where life, manifold and rich
Shares its mystery with my depth of awareness
It’s in the quietude of silence though
In the stillness of peace
I lose the self within the ocean
Afloat, a swimming in me
I becomes the drop you see
I become the wet you touch
I think these thoughts of you so much.
I’ve looked for Love since forever
These pieces, each a part of the me
Found in a puzzle called life
Leading back to the whole picture of Love
Hidden for all to find
Written for all to read
Spoken for all to hear
What need I forsake to take this home with me?
My eyes
My thoughts
My hearing
Let me cast them over the cliff of understanding
Let me hurl my inhibitions into a pit of passion
Embracing a heart burning like the center of the sun
Humble like dew caressing a blossom
At peace with moments I know
Take my hand and come, just flow.
Poetry: The Dialog
by Liam
The Teacher spoke,“You friend, are infinitely more than you think.”
Yet, said I,”This dust filled day leaves me parched.”
“ Drink not with your sight, refresh you thoughts in a quiet conversation with God.”
So closing my eyes, my mind was quickened by the fountainhead.
“The dust of today, brings the dew of a new morning.”
Thinking about it, I smile realizing how simple it is to go from despair to joy. This new thought creating a new emotion.
Poetry: The Apparel of Words
by Liam
Words are never ever wasted
They come from that invisible sea
From which those thirsty drink
Who on the journey become parched for wisdom
Words which are the apparel of thoughts
Thoughts which are the substance of God
Giving me meaning
Enabling me to recognize universally
The interconnectedness we experience
While on the way home
On the back to where we were Before being born.
Poetry: Death will Remove
by Liam
Death, true death will remove
All you’ve gathered, gleaned and gained
This time of life is to plant
Your affection, care and love
For its a willing thing which seeks even the most barren soul
To fertilize and grow sound
Give away what is superfluous in your house
Hand out the things which bring another relief
Care also for all the joy you have sown
The harvest is rich and will lift your soul on bright wings
As you fly
Leave this life
Soar to God on high, die.
