The whole in the heart

There is a whole in the heart where all that enters

is forever changed

and even the tears of yesterday bloom into the rose,

the lilac and cherry blossom

there is a whole in the heart

where what has fallen behind comes forward

sheds it's cover and is revealed

for what it truly is

sweet clarity

There is a whole in the heart where

the monk, the beggar, the sick, the creative,

the ugly and beautiful are the same

as the light burns the face and name to ash

and the heart is revealed for what it has always been

Without separation

and at perfect peace

There is a whole in the heart

that shows where you have come from

where you are going

and what has captured you for awhile

meanwhile the sun shines warm day and night

the sky is alive with color

and life flows in all it's wonder

the child dances

and sleeps

the sun is there smiling

and will wait for all eternity
