The Test of Human Existence

I take refuge in the silence of my heartsong

where invisible arms never fail to embrace me

where I find the only home that I know is true

 

It is the maintenance of this precarious connection

that remains the test of human existence

To never lose touch with that single thread

that ever weaves our heart back to the Divine

 

Without this intimacy

life becomes subject to intrusion

prey to the seduction of endless delusions

 

and so I walk

blinded

like a fool following an incoherent melody

hoping my humility

doesn’t lose its footing

 

For I have known great women

with hearts of unparalleled devotion

who have broken under the strain

 

Collapse

 

You see, the path becomes increasingly dangerous

the more we listen to Love

 

Opposing voices become merciless

but really, they are the cries of God

begging for our wholeness

 

It is this discernment that will teach us

this discernment that will beat us

until we submit to be bent

like the curling petal of a lotus flower

suspended in mid-air

 

and our tears become like morning dew

streaming over the surrendered rhythm of a newborn breath

 

The body becomes a pleasure that retreats and returns

the heart, a diaphanous instrument

in service only to beauty

 

It is this discernment that will lead us

this discernment that will feed us

with intimate nectars of truth

 

No one can give us this sacrament

it is a private offering

a communion

received only

in the deepest recesses of ones own soul
