Connecting from a Loving Heart

April 29th, 2009

I’m sweating as I’m posting this. I have not written poetry in a long time, but was moved to after a short, yet very authentic connection with a new friend that left me pensive about the question, “what makes someone shine (radiate from their heart out into the world)?”.

Seeing Me

Bright and shining,
life living inside.

It is love, an open heart,
pushing the edges of my core
so that I feel the stretching,
embrace the living.

It is my breath, deep,
connected to my soul
where dark and light are one –
where there is no wrong.

Oh, the living from this place!
Raw, the loving
so rich, pulsing
with the rhythm of each amazing person

showing me their gift,
vulnerable,
unique presence.
I feel you and your life’s longing.

I thank you for your love,
touching my human heart with yours.
Powerful, yet
as simple as being you, seeing me.
