Garden Temple lament
I am too full of me, Lord
Let fleet thoughts flee their Guest
Wash surfacing desire within
internal soft caress
Grow such sweet deep sanctuary
In garden temple view
So spring time blooms abundantly
In all I say and do
Glow garbed flame
And I read further that long ago ‘souls collect atoms of radiance‘ and that ‘glow, garbed with a flame came’ to the lips of a Persian poet. And that now humankind dreams to transform and connect again in metaphor through mountainside and monastery with candle, match and lamp at hand.

Presence perfect
formless beyond description
arisen upon descent
saving all-told from destruction
a presence that Perfection sent.

spreading laced veils before us
we smile and cry through our strife
mourning, while weal’s keep on turning
salt weaving the woundings of life.

borne high we stoop low for a season
to carry the wrong with the right
we weigh every load upon reason
just like beasts in the burden of night.

yet spirits smile silent upon us
sweet fragrances sent in the sky
even tides sway to know moonlight
ravines weep down steep mountainside.

eagles charm Light with their feathering
angel wings balm every soar
Love reigns to sooth with Her weathering
Life water flows deep in our core.
