we always were
running as fast as we could
struggling with the ghosts and echoes
that haunted the atmosphere
I sensed deep inside my soul
there was a place
not very far from here
where bliss
and heaven reigned
so these days
I draw close to earth
and sit with you
quietly whenever I can
in the silence
to me that silence is not empty
it actually roars
deep inside of it a healing fire
of light
and life
and hope
and love is burning
that illuminates the truth
I will shed my confusion
it is all illusion to think
that any of this working out
was ever a mistake
I view the roses growing
complete from rain
and take my comfort there
it’s just a shame
human beings consent to stay
deaf
dumb and blind
to being present
to an awful truth that hides its very centre
a healing host
of slowly unfolding
miracles
