Gentler

 

“Gentler, gentler, so gentle it hardly has any substance…
the breath of Silence. Then it is infinitely powerful,
infinitely creative.” ~Maharishi Mahesh Yogi 

That path is best
whose first breath
is all you'll ever need

because it is the stream

of wonder

that created the world.

What whirls the earth,

what blows the stars
like milkweed over
the bee-wildered meadow?

Now it is midnight.

Stay awake.

This is when

the Goddess comes,

lovely, almost naked,

draped in her silver veil

of silence.

Almost, almost
rest in her trembling
presence,
where prayer and light
and nectar all
flow into one.
Use that flowing

to polish your heart.
