The beauty of the moment

Within the beauty of the moment

the sky opens up to reveal

emptiness

floating as light

as the seeds that blow

with the wind

What was held anyway?

open the hand and

find that it was nothing

Truth is complete

has never wanted

oh love

what wants can never receive

like a door that is shut

like a head that is down

or a river that is dry

or a mother that is childless

but rich is the land of the heart

and the fertilizer is thy tears

that fall softly

and whisper a song of hope

and gratitude

that life has offered this moment

to listen

to the still beauty that always IS

Come into that night

though the eyes will not be able to see

the heart will light the way 

though the ears will not be able to hear

the heart will speak it's truth

come into that cool darkness

 Once there was seeking and all sorts

 of things were seen

 huge and small

 now there is stillness and nothing is seen

 only the flow of pure life

 simple and free
