I want to see you glide through your sacred path.

Like a dancer empowered with courage and belief in yourself.

Not influenced by the reluctance of those that dither at the edge, afraid of adventure.

You are never afraid of dying because you haven’t finished living yet.

Your song has only just begun.

You mould your destiny from day to day.

So go on, open those wings and let m...

Delectable Autumn.

I embrace your abundance of orange, red and gold

as leaves waft to the ground.

Nature’s wondrous way of ‘letting go’.

I feel your darkening days and the chill in the air.

Sharp winds pierce my face.

I hear the birds twittering as they make their plans for migrations --

Looking for a warm bed for winter.

I see apples strewn on the ground.

Here I am entering a space between episodes

where everything seems so real, so right.

So unfeigned that I begin to doubt my sanity.

But as I travel within that space inside me

I see more regressive versions

of new episodes.

They peak and ebb,

sucking me into a vortex of frustration.

Then suddenly a new story emerges.

Suddenly I’m engulfed by a flood of people.

Jeff left for good last week.

Heard him say he’s “got a meeting with his divine master. He’d be a while”.

Our journey together was glittered with magical, mystical moments.

We travelled side by side through life

although at times our existential views had a polarised pull about them.

But the connection was constant. The bond was eternal.

Let’s turn confusion into clarity,

Resistance into submission,

Suspicion into naked trust.

Let’s open the floodgates to gratitude

and awaken the sleeping energy within us.

Let gratitude take us to a higher ground.

A higher purpose.

So come, let’s go within and then rise to a higher ground together.

And on the seventh day, I rested.

Following whispers from my inner voice I took time out

to go within

and touch those spots that others can’t reach.

A bit like a Torah edict.

Then my head space opened,

stimulating conversations between beliefs, ethics, fears, contradictions.

Embracing a particular  tussle between the existential and the essential.

Or is it my new calling?

For once, I will not say ‘I love you’ or ‘I need you’ but instead ‘I believe in you’.

Out of nowhere, for no reason I was greeted with a chilly shoulder.

Deafening silence followed all night.

But I accept her in all her swinging moods like nature.

In winter and summer, in rain or dry spells.

I make no attempt to pursue. Or please.

Cause I know that I must raise my consciousness of this charming conundrum

of flight or fight.

So I choose to flow with the tide.

Her. And  Me.

One love. United souls. Conjoined.

Sometimes I thirst for her but I’ll find her wherever she is.

She’s not here now but we always touch.

Knowing that our love cuts across time and space.

Eternal. Destined.

Then when she reveals herself again I shall love her once more. Like never before.

Ours is an endless consent.

Only a moment ago I felt my love for you rise above the ordinary.

Locked in truth and spirit.

It’s a miracle that happened because we did not push. We just opened the doors and it wafted in.

Our union is destined for eternity. It is not of this world.
