I Kept on Speaking

 

I could not sleep for the ache in my heart.

I was anxious and had thoughts of dying.

Then I saw a figure made of light standing

By my bed, “Only one thing could

Make you suffer this much.” He bent to kiss

Me, and I knew that my lover was the soul.

 

I affirm my life as life itself,

I affirm my love as love itself.

 

The world is my body,

The mountain is my bones; the forests are

My skin; the rivers are my blood; the air is

My breath; the sun is my sight.

In my love for the earth, I balance all life.

 

I am all bodies, all thoughts, all emotions,

All breathings, all situations, all circumstances,

All events, and all relationships. I embrace all.

When all is I and mine, there is only love.

 

Evil is the absence of being,

And I will express my being as joyful play.

 

To be healed is to be holy. To be holy is to be whole.

To be whole is to know that all selves are the same “I”.

 

We are renewed in each other,

Therefore no one ever dies.

 

I Hardly Remember

 

I know the day will come

When my sight of this world shall be lost.

Life will take its leave in silence,

Drawing the last curtain before my eyes.

Yet stars will still shine at night,

And mornings rise as before,

And hours will still heave like sea waves,

Casting up pleasure and pains.

When I think of this end of my moments

The barrier of the moment breaks,

And I see by the light of death,

Your world with its careless treasures.

Rare is its meanest of lives,

Rare is its lowliest seat.

Things that I longed for in vein,

And things that I got – let them pass.

Let me but truly posses

The things that I ever spurned and overlooked.
