Behind concentric walls
of dislike, and powerlessness,
and frustration, and fear,
I couldn't see
her, whom I love so much.
She, who lives inside a fortress,
all of her own,
and has not yet found
the key out.
Down, under piercing light
of insight,
the stone wall tumbled
and I stepped outside of myself
into a wide open space.
Oh! the sweetness of jasmine, and love
as I stood still,
close by her prison,
not expecting.

ReplyDeleteOh! thank you for gift of your appreciation :)
ReplyDeleteHow absolutely beautiful these words! I resonate so deeply with the first two stanzas in my particular life circumstances at the moment... I have not yet found the key out of my self made prison... Yet, I know that it is there - through the crack of light in the wall - sweet light, sweet stillness... Thank you for this!

ReplyDeleteThank you. I found this over a year ago and it was the beginning of an incredible journey. I acknowledged my imprisonment, searched for the key, found the Light and the walls did tumble. I have since re-built on power, fearlessness, peace and, most importantly, Love. In deepest gratitude for this beautiful gift.
