When?
When pain gives over to
Sweet lulling rest
When ego gives over to
Thinking its best
When the Heart comes forth
To shine its song
And the body knows
It covers the One.
When all of Life’s trials
Melt into your smile
And, all that you want
Is to rest here a while
Just Breathing and Being
In the Sunlight of Space
And the Moonlight of Grace
That filters your Face.
When the Horizon is clear
And, One endless view
When Light confuses God for you
When your Heart rings in chimes
And beats without time
Disowns all declared ‘mine’
And God sings nursery rhymes
When you know in your heart
That God sees through your eyes
And, your heart constantly reaches its arms to the skies
Takes flight beyond all, and internally flies
When your body submits to Eternal Heart
And its rising waves of you, fall short
Returning to be,
Dissolved into the Sea
When you throw
Your crown Before the King
And dance with angels, to sing
When your heart wants no more
Than to see and be free
Gives all, for Eternity
And, fears separation more than sharp pain
There is no more to gain
When the Eternal Light is hard to pen
And poetry is the only medium
To give voice to your Soul
In One Heart’s continuum
When your body sleeps in Eternal Rest
And yields its stance for the best
To dance awake within the Flow
Only then, in your Heart, will you know
Then, only then,
Will you know when
