Gateway

Standing before the gateway
Atop the highest of hills
Life lies out before you
A reflection of your will

Pause and review
All that has been done
Embracing the meaning
Of all you have overcome

Learning the joys, victories
And sorrows
The past is reviewed
Now you must focus on tomorrow

Stepping through the gateway
Your entire life becomes anew
Observe it all
For the blessing is for you

What I heard

Be Emotional is what I heard
In movement and touch
Allowing the feeling to show
In response to the beauty
Of the shedding detachment
Letting the heart lead the way

Be Intuitive is what I heard
To receiving guidance
Taking a chance on the hunch
That has brought the familiarity
To this dream of inner life

Be Intimate is what I heard
A start and renew of love
That has brought someone closer
In a moment of togetherness
That goes beyond formalities

Be Loving is what I heard
Giving a thoughtful gesture
That expresses the understanding
In the forgiveness of self
And the hurt of brokenness

Be Life is what I heard
That brightens the day
And refuses to judge or condemn
Opening the window of change
To the blowing of your purpose

Constantly Walking

Constantly walking
Through the garden
Wandering about
The overgrowth foliage
That binds and strangles
Causing such great struggle

Constantly walking
Through the forest
Wandering about
The soaring trees
That shade and camouflage
Causing such great security

Constantly walking
Through the field
Wandering about
The undeveloped space
That releases and frees
Causing such great serenity

Constantly walking
Through the desert
Wandering about
The scorching sand
That pierces and blisters
Causing such great sensitivity

Constantly walking
Through the stream
Wandering about
The cool water
That soothes and rejuvenates
Causing such great surrender

Constantly walking
Through the path
Wandering about
Sensation, solution and salvation
