firebird | a poetic journey of awakening the inner fire

evocation

igniting the flame

why ?

the willingness
to fight
another
for his god
her faith
their race
for land, oil
diamonds
minerals
revenge
you name it

why ?

sheer ignorance
is at its core
the lack
to see
oneself
as source
abundant, full
of endless treasures

of all required
to give birth
to brighter heavens
on this darkened earth

to father-mother
a new human phase
of ever-giving
ever-living
inner-outer space
of ever-glowing
ever-flowing
traceless love and grace

what’s left to say ?

what’s left to say
in times like ours ?

perhaps no syllable, no word, no phrase
remains worth uttering

awakening wants stillness
wordlessness

soulsearching graciousness
uncompromising spaciousness

a lotus bud
unfolds at dawn
and in its center
sits the priceless pearl
of newborn knowing

initiation

approaching the fire

jumptime

did you ever
burst into life ?
not into laughter
or into tears
but into life ?

life calls you
to do just that
with all your senses
with all your non-sense
unfiltered, unpolished
off the record

expose your tender rawness
unleash your lavish appetite for love
exude your matchless fragrance

where were you all these years ?
asks life

jump off the cliff of your illusions
fly !

the only risk you take
is to be ravaged by life’s fire

but … isn’t that
what you are looking for ?

it’s jumptime
giantheart
it’s jumptime

jump

rainmaker

a drop of light
fell into me
from nowhere

now here
I am

I never had
a more refreshing shower

since then
I’m thirsty

since then
I’m on my way
towards the rainmaker

involution

stepping into the fire

for real

this time for real

no turning back

turn
inwards
upwards
downwards
forward

do not turn back !

you have received
a thousand invitations
for a thousand liberations

you played and skirted
dabbled, flirted
never really went for it

this time for real

step up
break open every door and window
of your absurdly fragile prison cell

step out
get naked
breathe the air of freedom

then whirl whirl whirl
your self
into the center of life’s fire

don’t leave a single trace behind
this time for real

the weaver’s song

your life
is but a carpet
of experiences
loosely tied together

you call this fabric “I”

how little do you know

look for the one
who makes the knots
wake up and join
the weaver’s song

elevation

rising from the ashes

love is looking for a dance partner

wild one
wake up

love is looking
for a dance partner

did you not know
that prayer has many forms ?

love is a passionate river
longing to flood your heart

yearning to dance you
to the ocean

cooked in paradise

tell me, my friend
about your new diet

you have grown
remarkably in size
since our last encounter

your heart is now so much wider
your words carry more weight
your laughter is round and fat
and your steps sink
so much deeper
into the earth

there you sit
like a chinese buddha
holding your butterball belly
with sparkling eyes
overflowing with appetite
for more

surely
your food
must have been cooked
in paradise

please

may I
reserve
a seat
at your table ?

afterlude

firebird’s secret

I am

my heart
is throbbing
with love

I drop
this little cup
I am
no more

the cosmos
is now
my chalice

I
hold
it
holds
me

does it matter ?

I am !
