Short and Sweet

December 21, 2018December 21, 2018 becomingandbeholding

To be a poet,

wake up with wings poised to

float on your morning breath.

Let your eyes open as windows

that God may see.

Turn on the inner flame

and alight the senses.

Choose to be the love

you seek to understand.

Be watchful as

the words arrive

and sing faithfully

from the heart of your soul.

Surrender to how

they change you

as the poem

is born.

Perhaps just like you, I find myself on a journey of awakening to who I really am. My writing is my personal and deep exploration of what I notice along the way. I share it with the hope I am a beneficial presence for others. Blessings to you. View all posts by becomingandbeholding

Wow! I love the line “Let your eyes open as windows that God may see”. It reminds of one of the most powerful near-death experiences I heard about. The woman felt as though she were seeing out of the eyes of God at one point. God is accessible.
