You look into my heart
Like you’ve known me before
You know my rhythms
You see my yearnings,
You understand my depths
Better than I
In the clear mirror
Of your open eyes
Your love flows
Through me
And grows inside me
In my still quiet places
Like swollen seeds in the darkness
Sprouting towards the light
Uncurling, unfurling, and stretching
Out of the mud of opinions
Into the infinite sky of open minds
From the sacred earth of our loving hearts
Our roots drink from crystal springs of kindness
Our flowers blossom in dazzling suns of compassion
Our souls sing harmony with all bodies and minds
Unclouded, unfixed, and limitless,
Can we see without being seers?
Love without being lovers?
Uncenter ourselves from ourselves?
Tune our heartstrings to the key of gratitude?
So in this moment,
With this breath,
We can be
Free in life
To live in love
With death
– Colin Farish
