A Gift From A Deeper Place / Close Up

This is a deeper verse, 

which came on June 4, 2019.

I thought I was

'looking-on from what could be',

but most possibly the student was me. 

I even called it Close Up.

 

Last summer,

I memorized the poem,

just to recite expressively to myself.

And now I know how I got here.

Close Up, was a gift to me, 

which I openly share,

as a gift to all from A Deeper Place.

 

 

Close Up

 

Remember when
you dressed my wounds
and told me then
you would always love our times together
but that was never
what it seemed
as you were always
leaving.

And returning 


but not really here.


You were bleeding 


all over the place 


and never facing
 what was true

never being the real you.



 

Sometimes you still


call in
 

to see


what is going on with me.



 

Here today is my plea.


Hear me.


Stay a while
 and listen to my heart beat

come in closer and really meet

Trust


Honesty


Tolerance


Gentleness



What Joy that would be


Defenselessness for me to see,


Generosity to give away all you value here


and Patience now, and for all time
Faithfulness with an Open-mind.



 

If every word was ever heard,


Love would sing, and light would bring

a truly wondrous way to be


living with Simplicity.
