Heart Prayer... an inner flame...the light...

 

pulsing pulsing be this heart

first breath and life bears its earthly start

heart prayer, an inner light, a flame

passion, faith and truth in glory name

this sounding PRESENCE be it in PRAISE

for the treasure of time and blessed days

the knowing, the questioning within embers there be

the glow of GOD's light, blessings aflame from THEE.

DIVINE FRENZY

Wrapped in the rapture of consciousness unbridled... 

Divine Frenzy... 

set aflame with an insatiable fire ...

compliance gives way to creative freedom
restriction gives way to expansive understanding
confinement gives way to total liberation
doubt gives way to boundless faith
judgement gives way to BEING
DIVINE FRENZY the breath of soul
spirit winds aflame
cloak of mortal clothing shed
flaring breath of soul as SELF known.

... this hour... night aflame...

within soul feel I this dance of fire

night aflame with passion and desire

rapture 'tis ecstasy's embrace divine

sacred flame in heart's chambers mine.
