Do you

Do you know what you are?
You are a manuscript oƒ a divine letter.
You are a mirror reflecting a noble face.
This universe is not outside of you.
Look inside yourself;
everything that you want,
you are already that.

Rumi

With every breath

Rumi

With every breath I plant the seeds of devotion - I am a farmer of the Heart.

~ Rumi

If I wander far

if I wander far,

from myself now and then-
a thread of love,
reels me to my soul again,
against all doubts-
that lavish my mind,
in time…
when I unwind from me,
unraveling-
love’s thread pulls me back,
to me.
when I stray,
into my wandering thoughts-
that catch me,
gasping for air-
no fear will keep me there,
in love’s weave of life-
into her canopy,
I am caught-
carried back to my heart,
back to the gentle wisdom-
that shows me,
the warmth of light-
guiding me back to me.

Wasting Time

Heart's Calling

no more wasting my time,
start living my life-
standing at the edge,
all this time-
when will I realize,
I can fly-
soar on through to,
the breath of my sky-
no more wasting my time,
take a moment to see-
I am more than just me,
got to let go of what’s-
holding onto me,
sometimes I leave on-
regret and memories,
like a garment to wear-
making it harder out there,
in the world.
So let it fall from my skin,
see the truth that’s within-
no more wasting my time,
got to get on living my life-
no tasks or fix it lists,
making it harder-
than it is,
with no shame or-
or no blame,
or giving it a name-
to hang heavy over me,
I can let go-
and be just me.
no more wasting my time,
let me rise with the stars and shine-
in the corner of my sky,
see the brilliance of my light-
and I can fly…
and I can soar…
I am more than what people see,
I am the she-
inside of me,
living my life from the inside.
