The Heart’s Desire

Black clouds loom above my head
Raging winds and darkest dread
Crashing waves against the shore
Cold presses in through every pore
Palm trees by the storm all bent
Even this is heaven sent
Flowers dangling, ripped from limbs
Random chaos, nature’s whims
Behind closed doors I sit and write
To satisfy my appetite
Reporting things that I can see
What is and what can also be
So how do storms the soul uplift
That human beings find the gift?
The precious gem within the fire
That clarifies the heart’s desire
Rage oh winds and storms of life
Clear my being of stress and strife
Cleanse my body of old and worn
Blow off this garment battle torn
Stripped of all I believe and know
Winds of change within me blow
Starting fresh and all anew
Awaken me to what is true
In harmony with gOd’s design
With spirit let my soul align
That I may see the truth within
In darkness, light will always win
And so it is, shall always be
That I am you, and you are me
And life is just a pageantry
A grand unfolding mystery
Oneness is reality
Oh Divine Causality!
