as the goddess fair

long ago there was a man
who lived with a goddess
she was fair in beauty and heart
she was like a dove on the branch in the
evening light
so filled with bright presence was she
that the ones that were around her were steadier
in nature and forgiving more
and with increased life and light
but she, my friends
was not interested in romance or this type
of thing as one might think
she manifested to this man only to awaken the truth
in which he was at the time ignorant of
she was so much of heart that she took this man in
and loved him as if he was the most beautiful
being that shined as her very own soul
she took him in and never went about thinking
he was not this or not that and needed to be made
better
for she was not of this kind of mind that wanted
to make something better or judge it
but was of the mind of truth
which sees the same heart everywhere and at all
times
within this non-dual vision
what is there that needs to be repaired?
what is there that needs to be remolded?
what is there that needs to be changed?
so with this great understanding of hers
she took this man in and gave him the beauty of the
non-dual teachings
she did this by speaking to him about the self
she said the self is forever non-dual in nature
it is as the unstained heart that shines in beauty and wonder
and glory
it is not touched by heaven or hell or demons or angels
it is not damaged by a single weapon or word or fire
or flood or pollution or killing or birthing
she said the truth was the living waters
that shone forever in splendour
rapture was it's nature
comely and like the best bright morning
and beyond all worldly ways is this truth
so she said to this man
you are this bright beauty
come and love me as this beauty
and love yourself too
for we are as one
and we are as life untouched
and so she spoke to him with flowing words
of light
that came directly from the source
he at first was not understanding what was said
he said
how is it that this is true, my love
when i see all these different things about me
and fail to recognize the soul of truth that you speak
so eloquently of
i am not sure what to think or say about it
for i am lost apparently from this view of the wonder
that is true and glorious
how am i to know it?
the goddess said do not say these things
for if you do not now feel the well of wisdom
you will indeed soon
if you let go of this saying all the time the world is this way
and i am another way
oh how very false you speak dear man
for you cannot know it by saying always you do not know it
this will shade the beauty of the soul
come and be well in your mind as you are thinking too much
and are not being yourself in this thinking but
are being something of deceiving yourself
the waters of abundance live like shiva in nature
on the top of the mountain shaded by nothing that comes and goes
and in you lives  this the peace that passes understanding
the man sighed and went about attempting to experience what
the goddess was saying
he felt she was genuine in her wisdom and he loved her
purity and light and so he went forward into himself
for she said to be still
she said to be alone
she said to be majestic in silence and heart
she said to not touch thought or dance with it
she said to light in the heart and settle there free as the vast sky
oh how he longed to know what she was speaking of
how he longed to be rich with knowledge of the soul
he prayed and prayed to be free
then when he was alone in his heart relaxing
the light shined in peace
and it was not at all a thing that he thought
it was as if he was always this source
and the person was not real anymore and never was
he found himself in this beauty of truth
and did not move from it
he lived in it as non-dual perfection
and with this he was as his love the goddess
as one pure heart
not separate in the waves any longer
but as the life of all life
and the death of all death
as God is
of the silent heart
as sat chit ananda
forever in beauty and truth
