As logs of mixt bulks and colors

Burn to telltale greys of embers

Thoughts, wants needs and desires

Scorch and sputter to formless cinders

A nameless quest, a wordless prayer

A hunger so great it is tough to bear

Heart riven by fiery flares

A whisper commands to give up and dare

Falling, falling, breaking to shards

From all that was known and all that was

Who knows if it will come to pass?

For now burn a thousand suns

Causing many a deep rip and run

For now all there is to do

Is let the fire of longing through

Reminds me of another sweet poem written from the heart. Even then the words poured devotion and a readiness to let go all the way.
Thank you!



LOVE STORY

Stumbling, a dark cold night
Shrinking, melancholy, sheer fright
Maze of questions, “Is this it?”
Must find answers, can’t yet quit

A flicker of light, a faint glow
“Come to Me”, unambiguous now
“Where?” “How?” ask I
“Take one step and I’ll take five”

Courage and trust the Voice seeks
So right and pure and good it feels
Surrendering, that lonely night
A leap of faith into the Light

What to name that divine One
Guide, Friend, Self, love?
It matters not, what is in a name?
Becoming That, the only real way

Remains true to His word, He does
Five steps to every single one
Enticing, luring, goading, showing
Unexpected glimpses of Infinite Glory

Longing, desperate and wordless
Intense desire to become That
To know it for what It is
Love and light, peace and bliss

An offering made every minute
Take it all now, please take it
Ignorance, darkness, fear, rage
Destiny re-written, a brand new page

Not long, the spark now a blaze
Of moments, hours, days
The Voice gaining hold
A promise long foretold

Dark days a distant dream
Light and love fill the being
Pathway to That painstakingly built
The veil of illusion lifted bit by bit

I felt the deep, burning and heartfelt longing of your words Kami. Thank you for sharing.

This piece reminds me of a sweet and soulful song by Omkara called "Heart of Fire".

Please enjoy:

Hi Matt,

Wow.. What a beautiful song! This is my state exactly - heart and whole being on fire:

Oh Beloved One
Take this heart of fire
Let me burn to dust
Let nothing remain
Let nothing remain

For, I am...

Oh Beloved One
From darkness to light
From untruth to truth
Let nothing remain
Let nothing remain

For, I am...

Om Namah Shivaya...

Om...


Thank you very much for sharing this Matt, and also for the love and kindness evident in your posts.

Much love to you.
