I am so mad with love that mad men say to me - be still!
You live in my heart where no one sees you but I do. That vision becomes this art.
I look into your eyes & see the universe not yet born.
I have found the heart and will never leave This house of light.
Join the community of saints and know the delight of your own Soul. Enter the ruins of your Heart and Learn the Meaning of Humility.
If you put your soul against the oar with me, the power that made the universe will enter your sinew from a source not outside of your limbs, but from a holy realm that lives within us.
Listen to presences inside poems.
Today I am wise, so I am changing myself.
Walk out like someone suddenly born into colour. Do it now.
No one looks back and regrets leaving this world. What's regretted is how real we thought it was.
Make my heart, O heart of the universe, a divine bird that nests only on the throne of God.
I love myself...I love you. I love you...I love myself.
Trade your cleverness for bewilderment.
Any one in love will have no religion.
