Beauty

Turn inside out
Flesh exposed and
Nerves laid bare

In our weakness
On our knees
There is tremendous grace
Your innermost love


A Many-Splendored Thing


Spirit filled light,

filters into my chest.
Soft mist unlocks a stony heart.
Not my will but Yours.
This communion is what makes us human.
When my friend came home,
her daughters naturally fell into grace.
The most natural thing for those we love,
while her friends questioned this
and questioned that.
Disbelief is such a grieving matter.
This divine nature is what we share,
when we invite Jesus into our lives.
Gods grace is a place in which we live,
a room where lovers see eye to eye.


Our Joy


In this room

I feel more at home
Seclusive and delusional
I managed to build a cell
Sound proof and insular


Hearing my heart beat
Counting my luck
Joy is welling up

No I wont audition

Can't bear the public vote
Having retired from the common norm
That I may only speak with You



Wind Song


Let my song be a wind song

Let me come over you like sea breeze
Wrap your hair around you
Moving across sand dunes
Up and over hills
Passing over the surface
Waves longing to keep up
I gather speed, move up on high
Stretching the clouds out far and wide
Like long white veils
Making the sun cast fire upon the evening sky


Fire


Long forgotten

Uncertain pieces of memory
Fragments dissolving faster than can be reassembled
History burning up
Closing the gap to now
No time to reminisce
Got to keep ahead
Of the flame closing in from behind
Soon there will be only present
Fire overtaking thought


Mercy


A softness falls over me and my

thoughts flow effortlessly into patterns.
Gently it all becomes clear:
I have sole responsibility
for the well-being of every living being.
And I have sole responsibility
for the welfare of planet Earth.
This is not a burden,
it is what I had always wanted.
There is so much love in wanting this.
Love for every single being.
So much love for this earth.
All sense of self faded away,
until nothing remained.
History erased, name and person all gone.
White light filled my body and overflowed.
My body returned to me, resurrected.
My voice was given back to me, unimpeded.
All life was revealed as blessings and spontaneously
words of thanks and praise came.
The ground became my closest ally, my dearest friend.
As my bed or pillow, so close, so near, the earth bore testimony to me.
With a glorified body, resurrected and at one with my father.
This was Holy. A gift of Mercy.


Be longing


Bright sunshine covers both of us,

and as our sisters and brothers join,
their smiles confirms what's in our hearts.
All hoods and veils are down,
cool shades pocketed.
Eyes speak the language of love.

or like..


Stepping into a natural pool,

-careful the water is hot,
slowly sink in to your chin.
Recline back, take a deep breath,
look across.
Your friend returning your smile.
One experience.

So now can we see that we all share

all of our experiences in the same way.
The same joy, the same pain.
That's why we laugh together,
cry together,
exist together.


A Shout So Loud


There is a scream

Coming from the universe
A shout so loud nobody hears it
It covers every pocket of space
Like freshly fallen snow
Dresses landscapes in the purest of white

It breaks the grip of time

It pierces through space
It courses eternally
It's the beginning and the end


See, I Make All Things New


When you hear these words,

do you hear?
Look, see.
I make all things new.
These words holds belief.
There is faith,
already
in the reading.
 There's wonderful mystery to it,
our mind cannot grasp it,
but it resonates in our heart.
See, I make all things new.
I turn water
into wine.
Belief is acknowledging his voice,
in your heart
as you read
what he told us.

See, I make all things new..



It Stirs


It begins

deep inside
a stir
a gentle breeze
calling me away
early in the morning.
I hear it
like a long lost memory,
soft sound of waves
returning to the sea.

It begins

like a rumor
not yet distinct
like when you sense
someone's at the door.

This gentle calling

catches me unaware
when I settled down for the day
work all done
then it comes again
and makes me share it
with you.


Unforgivable


Deep time shifts layers of self

Whose memories hold no information
Bar its own
Standing in our present time
Like upon a sheet of thin glass dissolving
Our feet falls through
Reaching the very beginning
Of creation itself
How we all stretch from beginning to end
Endlessly now


Come To The Water


Come to the spring

refresh your soul
listen to its melody
softly it springs to mind
remember
sweet embrace

See its reflection

inside your heart
softly it churns

Scoop a handful

drink
wash your face
cool on hot skin

Come to the water



Spell Bound


Waves like of a tuning fork

Resonates through the body
I relax and let go
Of all my desires
I can feel my toes

Now with intention I expand

Filling the whole universe
With my soul

Breathing in, I close the light of day

Breathing out gently, it all comes alive again

How is this not ordinary?


My eyes turns into constellations

And I loose count
Of how many times you've said
I love you

Wishing you were here

Brings you closer

My will, I realize

Is a mighty sword
To sweep this night away



Wide Open Plains


There is this declaration

of a wide open field
as far as the eye can see
there is no obstruction
so smooth so plain
the wind has ample space to roam free
the sun covers every inch
not the slightest shadow at noon
the air is fresh
just the best for breathing in.

I stand at its edge

and even as I turn
it follows me around
I look down, I look up
the ground stretches now in all directions.
How wonderful this truth is,
feet firmly planted
and all around,
wide open plains.


Bertil, My Father


My father died.

I lit some candles
to drive out the cold.
February in Sweden,
in a morgue.
I spoke words of fare well,
don't worry about us
we're ok
please forgive me
I love you dad
be on your way.

At home with mom,

snowfall in the street lights.
I tell her
he's here.
She looks up and nods,
that is what we feel.
Inside filling up.
Grief is but
loves release.


A Shared Passion


I'm living in a world that has yet to come into existence.

The only way to make it real is to bring you into it.
I can glorify it, rave about it, but without your help it won't come into being.

It's like... I want to light a fuse wire, set off an avalanche.



Open Arms


Let go with both your hands.

Rely on the infinite mass just beyond your reach.
The treasure storehouse needs no inventory.

How futile trying to define ourselves,

from what we hold in our hands.


I Have One Desire


As you rise

I want to rise with you

When you speak

I want to be your tongue

As you listen

I overhear

You find it funny

like an echo

Being one in this relationship before we were two.


Like twins

one thinking, the other speaking.

No but I...

on it goes till we lost sight
of who's who.

Blessed union, too wonderful to comprehend.


When you lie down

I will sit on your bed

Waiting till you get up again

mimicking your every move.

It almost annoys you

but you find yourself lifted

by strong arms

knowing your every move

You take a chance,

handing over your will.

We hold our breath..


I don't know how you caught up with me.

Never thought you find me on this little planet.

Long time in the coming

but better late then never

You rushed in

and I was born a second time.

Wrestling with my new inheritance

it turns into play

Go on friend,

I won't stand in your way
no more.


Communion


We walk backwards

Till we enter into union

It's already here

Waiting to be possessed

Through our language

Our common tongue

One body, not two

One mind
Not mine, not yours


Silent Within


When we fall quiet

Silent within
When we become still
Motionless

This room

Has not limits
In it our intelligence rests
And our knowing merges

So when we rise

And lay eyes on each other
You become my brother
Nay, even closer, my other



C0-existence

I'm living in a world that has yet to come into existence.
The only way to make it real is to bring You into it.
I can glorify it, rave about it, but without your help it won't come into being.

It's like.. I want to light a fuse-wire, set off an avalanche..


Self Confession

To speak your name
When you can't wait to hear it
Said out aloud
Proves the greatest risk.

Professing knowledge
Of your whereabouts
Is like leaving the door ajar
For you to return home.

Bearing testimony of You
Will not hold up in court
I'm sentenced long before
I have a chance to plead my case.

As my only witness
You disclose nothing
Rendering my defence obsolete.

Alas, you will have to serve time with me
Since you can't stand
Leaving me alone.

Human

In a world gone crazy we suffer our brothers the most. What if we'd be a guest in a far flung place where they never seen one of us? How we'd be at loss to describe our petty nuances. And how free we'd be to be, just the one we'd want to be. Human like I know myself to be. Kind like my host treats me.
Never again can I see a friend like you, see me like you like me to be. I love you.
