THE Guidance in Revelation...~ Sweet Surrender ~ A luicid dream... a telling... an awakening... knowing...

 

A lucid dream... a telling... an awakening... knowing... 

   in silence words be known, 

        in darkness light be known, 

            in a state of submission vision be known, 

                time bears no beginning, 

                    no end, it just IS - Inspired Spirit.  

                            and so the DREAM and so

                                                the Deliverance, 

                                                    the Revelations, 

                                                        the Eternal, 

                                                              the Awareness, 

                                                                the Manifest ...

                                                                        A telling, a beckoning... 

“Our truest life is when we are in dreams awake."

 ~  Henry David Thoreau  ~

KNOWING ... a word,

    a directive, 

        a perception, 

            guidance,

                 considerations,         

                    petitions of  passion, of purpose...

THE  defined as an "article adjective." be it the commune of Truth ~ Harmony ~ Exchange of our blessed endowments... 

                        Kindness

                        Nurturance 

                        Omnipresence

                        Wondrous 

                        I AM

                        Nature 

                        Grace

this in affirmation, this in proclamation, this the heart, the core,  of our BEING in all blessings...

A G A P E ...so claim, I

 

A G A P E... the love of love, of GOD, of Creation, of Life, of the Grace of BEING, of the Gift of Breath, of all that is Female, of all that is Male, the Whole of SELF ... so claim I. 

One Onto the Other...

A mother's hand in blessings shown

Londyn's grasp in nurturance known

The majesty of creation and birth devine

Supernal be the grace of breath and time

The reach of Londyn to her mother's hand

Be it of a blessed knowing command

A loving bond of BEING in God's grace

Beheld each be within heart's place.

I, as a LOTUS

 

I,  as a LOTUS

earth and the gift of sweet libation 

waters that fill the soils with its elixir of grace 

beheld be the flow of streams, rivers, brooks

pools of mud blessedly receptive, receiving

the gift of water, earth, sun, and PRESENCE

from depths emergent be the rooting, the bud, the bloom

a LOTUS,  from muddy waters arising

so too, I,  from muddy waters,  from tears known 

a  bloom  of beauty, bounty and BEING.

THE WINDOW

 

THE WINDOW

    The winds of change ever call

        There is a window to our soul

            A gate to our heart

                A key to our BEING

                    This the grace of love and light

                        This the supernal calling

                            Hear I its resounding call

                                The silence, the splendor

                                    The window

                                        The gate

                                            The key to SELF

                                                Spirit, Eternal, Love, Faith

                                                BE this the PRESENCE

                                                The PRESENCE

                                                The PRESENCE known.

Flame of Breath...be there no tame..

 

Flame of Breath

every experience, every need, every perception

every thought, every longing, every deception

to KNOW THYSELF from each consideration of life

be it of anticipation, of vision, of glory, of strife

a moment, comes to be both the present and the past

every breath of BEING, a seed upon consciousness cast

heed the sounding of change and each calling desire

quell not the flame of breath that feeds passion’s fire

a vision, a quest, a knowing, a hankering within heart

be this a telling, a beckoning from which ne'er depart

feel the breath, the fire, the knowing of life's flame

the inhalation the exhalation, the glory, be there no tame.

Fires of SOUL...The PRESENCE

 

Awakened to the fires of soul

The vision, the quest, the fulfilled goal

The passion of SELF in this moment NOW

The unfolding, the sounding, the expressive vow

Within this pulsing heart of mine

Feel I the blessed, the supernal divine

A life onto me in union conceived

In each breath of BEING a gift perceived

And so this the eternal moment real

The splendor of SELF ne'er conceal

The presence of GOD blessed within

Absolved I BE of all false sin

And I in grace and gratitude sublime

Savor the spirit, the SOUL held mine.

Straight Talk

 

Asked, "Do poets ever use 'straight talk'?

                                        ... and I in response ...

I choose words that are known by the heart, understood by the soul, bear witness to the wonders of nature, the intelligence of creation, the depth of feelings, the language of the emotions that seek beauty, resolve, and love. How one hears this deliverance, is how open one is to acknowledge that 'straight talk' can simply mean what goes straight to the core of BEING and the call of LIFE.

The Eternal ~ The Initiation ~ Spellbound...

 

The Eternal ~ The Initiation

The fascination with the deep telling of words has held constant since 7 years of age. It was at this time that 'Spelling Bees' were part of a school day. I vowed to be a perfect, 'speller.' To respect ever letter, be it voiced, be it silent, be it a vowel, be it a consonant. As a young poet, and with the maturity of the years, WORDS, by way of their letters, their configurations, their sounding frequencies... bring forth a collective call, and so, as I look to the vowels, the spirit, the breath of the word, EXPERIENCE... behold I the reoccurring E - the Eternal, and the I - the Initiation... and spellbound I BE by the eternal, by the initiation of light, life and BEING.

Within folds of slumber by the light of evening stars
Take I the celestial chariot to vistas afar
Galaxies of splendor and wondrous array
Where day is night and night is day
Timeless motion of flight there be
Above the pulsing waves of the celestial sea
By stellar winds to the light of PRESENCE be told
This a vision of eternity in grace ever to behold.

Life, BEING and the Sea

within a sea of emotions cresting real

waves of pain, of joy beyond conceal

this day marked with tides gone by

a pause, a reflection, a deep deep sigh

confusion and dismay

be news brought our way

passions and longings to assail

a vision of resolve, and change we to hail

beyond the shadows cast our light be known

by the love and mercy our hearts have shown

there is a rhythm within Earth divine

and so too, of BEING, yours and mine

this ebb and flow, the constant there be

this of Life, BEING and the Sea

we hold to the call, the sea cresting within

and hushed be the discordant, this raucous din.

Don I

don I the royal robes of resolve, shed I the cloak of despair
know I the grace, the blessings, the light of God's loving care
when oppression and fear beckon to this heart
from blessed grace, the knowing of love, ne’er I shall depart
upon my soul a golden shield of everlasting light and love
this with eyes to earth and eyes to the heavens above
be I of breath in the presence of the NOW
be I of spirit in an eternal vow 
to the divinity of love and grace, the soul in expressions shown
be this the bloom, the bounty, the breath, the beauty of BEING known.

When visualizing, "royal robes of resolve..." I envisioned a robe of violet velvet that caught the light, shoulder decoration and tassels of brilliant gold, symbolic of crown energies, and the graces of alchemy, regal, stately, and flowing. I was not aware that a flower existed that mirrored what was perceived, nor bore the name, "Royal Robe." 

⁠

The poem was fully penned when I set to search for a fitting image. When found within a flower, I felt deeply validated, blessed and grateful. Within the words of my poem its beauty was conceived.

Beauty beheld,

Live I

 Live I

live I with roots and wings

be they of visions

in purposes defined

in dreams yet dreamed

be I the anchor

be I the sail

a pause, a breath, a BEING.

and so... we sail

we greet the rising and setting SUN 

the way of waters becomes known 

the calm, the fury, the gentle 

the thunderous cresting waves

the ebb and flow 

and our glory, our blessed glory 

resounds in the pulsing of our hearts.

LUKA SULIC - Kol Nidrei ~ SOUNDING STRINGS

Sounding strings 

a feeling 

a knowing

a questioning

a longing

an inner drive awakened

a responsive breath 

an unrelenting inner source

TRUTH reaches beyond thought 

to the deeper chambers of heart

to the soaring known within the Spirit of SOUL

the confront, the resolve 

the awakened melody of BEING... 

this to listen, this to feel, this to BE.

DELIVERANCE, I declare

deliverance, a dialogue of the heart

memories and dreams ne'er depart

the blessings of time and loving grace

on journal pages I do place

held in words and sentiments sweet

the yesterday, the today, the tomorrow meet

breath, the first to come in blessed BEING new

the divinity of life gifted onto you

DELIVERANCE, I declare, and know I life's claim

the light, the glory, the joy in God's name.

HOLD SWEET...

HOLD SWEET

a seed planted

a garden watered

beauty and bounty there be

a kind word

a willing embrace

beauty and bounty there be

a day in honor, in celebration

a calling to heart

beauty and bounty there be

a poetic dialogue of faith and vision

a stroke of color upon a canvas

beauty and bounty there be

hold sweet the savor of wisdom

the gift of intent 

a vision of grace

the very breath of BEING

beauty and bounty there be.

Primal Power of BEING...

Primal Power of BEING

     All pulsates, all breathes, 

          all in its own special way 

               gives and receives. 

                   A seed, a flower, leaves, a tree, 

                       all that is green, 

                           all that bears color 

                                hold to libation, to the rains, 

                                     to the oceans, seas, streams, 

                                          lakes, brooks, 

                                              to the sacredness of water. 

     All that breathes hold to the presence of air, 

          to the energizing warmth of the sun. 

               All that lives are fed 
                     from the nourishment of the earth. 

     Let us breathe as a seed, 

          knowing the bloom that is to be. 

               Let us bloom as a flower, 

                    in its glory, in its special season. 

     Let us discern, decide, deliver, 

          from the consciousness of care and creation.

              Let us hold sacred our BREATH, 

                  the primal power of BEING. 

     Let us with reverent regard embrace 

         and become one with the intent …

              ever the giving and the receiving, 

                   ever the receiving and the giving… 

                        the beauty, the bloom, the bounty, 

                             the beloved, the blessed…
