Expansion of Consciousness
Stillness
I am standing still
The Universe is holding me
In arms of Light and Peace
My heart is opening
My whole being has longed
For this moment
I am now ready
To humbly
R e c e i v e
From the point of origin
That lies deep within
My Being
I feel expansion happening
It is born Invisible first
And grows wide
In all directions
Now revealing
Its presence
Of Light
It is transforming
The very substance of matter
From cell level
Through the whole Universe
Boundaries and obstacles dissolve
Giving place to
A field of energy
Of a new kind
No more separation
No more limits
No more fears
I am becoming
An open vessel
Of vibrations
Joy
Peace
Light
Are pouring into
My being
I am becoming
Joy
Peace
And Light
Then
I realise the Oneness
Of All Things
The limited space
Of my old being
Is no more
I am part of
The Whole
Reunited with It
Essence and matter
Fullness and void
Darkness and light
Manifested and non-manifested
Dance together
And play
The Song of the Universe.
Vibrations
The turmoil of my heart
The echo of my wounds
The futile thoughts of my mind
The aches of my body
Fade away and become a distant tune
Now that I sit in the Earth’s lap
I surrender
I yield to the grace
Of being held
No more grief
No more pain
No more drama
I slowly allow Beauty
To greet me with Its
Gentle touch
And transform the very
Substance of my being
I surrender
I yield to the joy
Of being loved
No more tears
No more fears
No more expectations
The burden is lifted
I become light
I allow Peace
To instil Its soft power
Deeper and deeper within
And reveal the essence
Of my true being
I am at peace
I soften up
I melt and give up
All resistance
The limits of my being
Become blurred
My mind is asked to listen
No more boundaries
No more limitations
No more shapes
The expansion that
Triggers my consciousness
Unveils new dimensions
And awakens an unknown
Sense of space
I feel vaster
I feel deeper
I feel shapeless
I perceive the void within matter
I see void and matter vibrate together
I am here and far away
I am nowhere and everywhere
I am all that is and
I am nothing
I resonate
In harmony with
The Whole.
Reborn
Blank
Absent
Have been wandering off
For years
No sense of direction
Was fun at first
Taste of freedom
Like a soothing illusion
Numb and empty
Such is all
Didn’t feel it coming
Got to my bones
Slowly
Insidiously
Thought of losing myself
To better find me again
Tricked and trapped
I needed to flee
Let it all slip!
Let it all flow!
Got it all wrong
Mistaking the fall
For a flight
I witnessed disintegration
Scattered bits of my being
Floating away
Far from the core
That was it!
Too late to react
Too late to attempt
Any holding move
Didn’t see it coming
Happened all at once
Or so I believed
I raged at the sight of
The lethal dance
That possessed the puppet
I became
Soundless cries
Mute tears
The words slipped away
Laughing at me
No more school rhymes
No more beats
Memories vanished
I was left
With a deafening silence
As my only companion
Pains and aches
Unexpressed
Like worms
Ate me
From within
Within...
Was there still
Such a space
As within?
Soon I’d be no more
When?
Can’t remember…
Didn’t see it coming
My wounds bled
Pearls of silver
That exploded
And transformed
Into sparkles of light
Like dying stars
Reborn in shapes
Of a new matter
Unknown to me
Until now
Myriad of lights
A firework
Lit up the void
That held my birth
And theirs and yours
Above, below
And in all directions
As far as gaze could reach
We stared in awe
What is it?
Something is brewing
Something is growling
In the depths
Far away from the light
A big wave is forming
Something is growing
Something is wailing
The movement newly born
Diffuses wild rhythms
In its raw infancy
Tumbling stones
Rumble and roar
In the bed of
The tumultuous waters
Something is moving
Something is shifting
Giant steps
Climbing from within
Try to reach out
To the light
Irrepressible
Inevitable
Feral and urgent
The movement rises up
Chaos is raging
Life is urging
A deafening cry
Of hope bursts out
Sweeping away the dullness
It slams everything on its way
Kicking and shouting at
Those who don’t move
Something is happening
Something is changing
Violent and ruthless
It bellows a harsh
Wind of newness
That awakens all
Beyond will and desire
It shuts and freezes
The minds left in a
Mute state of shock
Something is being unveiled
Something is emerging
What is it?
No one knows
And yet
One can feel it
One can hear it
Some can sense it
Some can even see it
But no one can name it
It shapes itself according to
Each and everyone’s perception
While remaining the same and
Preserving its essence
It always appears exactly
As one wills
Again and again
And as ever One.
The Voices
I sit quietly
And listen
I begin to perceive
The whispers of the world
Faint and subtle sounds that echo
A distant part of my soul
I close my eyes and rejoice
Allowing myself to be immersed
In a soothing sound bath
Memories arise
Images pass by
Unknown or forgotten
Some are blur
Some vivid and bright
Fleeting flashes of light
They draw my attention
Divert it and confuse it
Playing hide-and-seek
Laughing at my relentless effort
To grasp and hold on
Their fluttery appearance
Let them pass
Let them go
Says the voice within
My breath deepens
I let go and remain seated
At the core of my being
I listen...
I can hear the voices rise
Some are familiar
Their loving memory
Makes me smile
Others I don’t recognise
They speak a language
Unknown to me
Dressed in sounds of all colours
Playing tones and heights of all sorts
They merge and dance together
Sometimes discordant
Often melodious
They create a tableau
That all my senses embrace
A laugh here
A lecture there
A poem, a song
An insult or a cry
High, low, fast
Stressed or soft
The voices tell stories
About all and each of us
All at once
Though distinctly
They say it all
Even the lies
The words of hatred
The twisted thoughts and regrets
To have said or not said
The hidden wounds and desires
The untold woes
The daring dreams
The contained words of love
The scornful bites
The poetic thoughts
And the secret feelings
They sing it all
I can hear them
I can feel them
Travel through me
Then fly away
Carrying on their journey
To wherever they are blown
The voices move along
Untrodden paths
And deliver their message
To whoever is willing to receive it
They spread the stories
That we all share without knowing
How they wrap us in their web
Of meaning and consciousness
Of feelings and images
They sing
The Song of the Whole
They sing
The Soul of the World.
