…clouds…

point arena beach, by mick paul

…sometimes words

separate…

tear apart… say

wrong thing when

you know it’s right….

but tonite the words are

just right

and originate from

the heart of my being…

tied to the sky….

silver threads

to angels

and the clouds

…..

…the bird…

…the bird sits

in the tree

trilling to the sky

and not

to me…

She lives now

for herself

and i believe

she has a point…

…from a friend…

TODAY

I

Do not

Want to step so quickly

Over a beautiful line on God’s palm

As I move through the earth’s

Marketplace

Today.

I do not want to touch any object in this world

Without my eyes testifying to the truth

That Everything is

My Beloved.

Something has happened

To my understanding of existence

That now makes my heart always full of wonder

And kindness.

I do not

Want to step so quickly

Over this sacred place on God’s body

That is right beneath your own foot.

As I

dance with

precious life

Today.

**Hafiz**
