Poetry was one of the first ways I became aware of Holy Spirit‘s Voice of Love within me so it is where I return when my day or life becomes overwhelming, momentous or just uber busy. These past two weeks have been one of those times. The haiku below were my quiet time today. The shifting out of mind and into heart makes my brain feel like when you put your hands in flour, soft and vast yet right here. It is hard to explain. I know that the act of writing poetry does something peaceful and meditative and leaves me feeling refreshed, recharged and at-One-ment with Holy Spirit.
Breeze flows peace against
my skin an incense smoke of
tranquility cares
The day’s grace….
Birdsong awakens
my need for utter being
the vastness calls me
Sinking into now
stillness melts away the pain
busyness can bring
Breath cleanses my palette
that I might taste the beauty
holiness reveals
Washing machine is
rebooting our daily wears
waiting, my bliss break
Gratitude opens
the channel of love bringing
I get the first gift
But there’s so much more
to see, to do, to create
stillness powers this
My purchases give
me a hold on the day’s grace
now I glimpse yesterday
