the blossom falls...

a blossom falls from the tree
the summer has come and gone
a young boy looks on in the distance
he will be a man in the blink of an eye
living his own life with it's ups and downs
the water rushes in the river 
and the leaf flows with it 
as the diamond like reflections
dance in the wind
did you experience the stillness 
amongst it all?
as the empty hub of the wheel that turns?
did you breathe the light that weaves 
within every sound and movement?
how quickly it dances on the screen of 
pure life 
never to be grasped and held
how quickly it falls to the grips of death
and another song is born 
in the womb of mother

in a little while,
you will see the sun rise above the mountains
and put your feet on the ground to start a new day
all that is familiar to you will wake up
and say *here i am again*, your old friend 
*me and mine* 
where will you take your mind then?
out to dance with maya?
or sit in the blessing of the simple quiet 
that has never gone from your soul?
oh my friend,
how quickly it dances on the screen
of pure life

  3. Namaste, Thank you for this. In between here, maya and stillness. Can feel see both, one without the other. One within the other, and awareness is all there is. The mind wants to dance, but stillness is so real and pulls one in gently and strongly all the time. Grateful for those moments. Thank you for heart pointings. they help to Surrender to Grace and all is. OM
