Spiritual Poetry

Weather Report

At one point, the whole world
was a dance of magical wonder -
enchanting, exciting, engaging.
But it turned an ugly head
as soon a 'self' solidified:
A frightening, chaotic showcase,
it screamed, 'Other!', Danger!, Distant!

by geysers and volcanoes
on the inner landscape

And inner storms and cyclones
given way to new weather patterns:
clear days ahead,
occasional periods of rain
and the world sings a different song,
marriage vows of unity
have emerged from depth unknown
and the heart embraces all as its own
in an indefinable space of joy.
