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.
My sight My heart My Life All three words I have woven into one ... Love.
Nothing can nourish the soul but LIGHT. Rid yourself of material needs and be set FREE.
If I hold you with my emotions, you'll become a wished-for companion.
Flowers open every night across the sky, a breathing peace, and sudden flame catching.
Live life as if its rigged in your favor.
