paddling up a waterfall

[Kailashana]

i.

the heart is a strong muscle
it curves space and aligns the
movement of stars to itself,
beating into its silence

let's dance

2.

i wept with the ocean once,
caught in its undertow,
I was salt, i was swept away,
bridges grew like islands
surrounding an inner sea

eat

3.

there are ears of corn,
listening
human plants turn to the sun,
blaze trails


pray


4.

I am September, the joy of the harvest
share with me the bounty,
come,
lay your hands on the pen of your life
and write your life's poem.

love




It would be a good thing to read:

Eat, Pray, Love

by Elizabeth Gilbert (made into a 2010 movie starring Julia Roberts and Javier Bardem,

Bokonon was a 19th century mystic/poet born in Tobago in 1891, I quote him: "Let your life be the poem you write."

in my inner eye, there is far
shore,
steadfast in the inner ear,
sublime music

[theirishsea]

I like these lines in particular:

I am September, the joy of the harvest
share with me the bounty,
come,
lay your hands on the pen of your life
and write your life's poem.

love

but the whole of the poem is of this nature----you have a mystical lyricism in your vision. Having it expressed solidly with few words enhances it.
