hidden in the heart

an ethereal thread holds all things together.
i see it with my twilight eye, the moon-born sight
of poets observing the lacy connections
that can't be seen in the dominion of bright light.
here in the misty dimness, neither light nor dark,
colors fade to grey, stitched together with silver.
nothing is clearly defined, shifting shapes again
repeating primal patterns traced in solar dust.

we are on the threshold where light & dark can dance.
come to me now, Lord Shiva, & dance me within
this density of substance & form in motion.
take my hand, take my heart, dance me in words & art,
tell me who You really are, tell me who i am,
as we touch the subtle thread joining all the parts,
tracing out blessings that are hidden in the heart.

  1. I love this!
    the moon-born sight
    of poets observing the lacy connections
    that can’t be seen in the dominion of bright light.
    here in the misty dimness, neither light nor dark,
    colors fade to grey, stitched together with silver.
    nothing is clearly defined, shifting shapes again
    repeating primal patterns traced in solar dust.

    I don’t have the words to express how incredible that passage is!!!
