Soul Verses
Sometimes in the silence of self-inquiry, verses come to me, which I quickly write down on my notes app. I've decided to add some of them here as well. If you would like to read some of my poetry in Spanish, click here.
The horse in the head
​
The mind
and its idiotic
gallop
gallop
gallop
if we could just
for a moment
hold the reins
of the rains
that reign
our silly
little
brains
Just be
​
We have all the answers
they are clouded
by layers of noise
they are waiting
within a silence absolute
for us to have the courage
to be still
to merely
be
U-turn
​
Take that pointing finger
and turn it towards yourself
not for guilt
not for shame
but with the will
to accept
that you live what you create
and there’s no one else
to blame
The observer
​
look at the anger
accept the anger
hold the anger
embrace the anger
look at the pain
accept the pain
hold the pain
embrace the pain
don’t confuse your Self with the anger
don’t believe you are the pain
once you can observe the ego
even if just for a second
then you are no longer the ego
and that is a victory of love
Not knowing
​
What blessed tragedy!
What unfortunate luck!
Oh yes!
we know nothing
about good or bad
in this grand cosmic tapestry
that is life
Ladybug
a golden ladybug
has reminded me
that the truth is always in the “I am”
like a gentle wizard
it slept on my nightstand
and was gone by dawn
leaving me
covered in the glowing certainty
that what has to be
just is
The trickster
this is not who
I AM
this tightness
this choking sensation
it is the ego
and its desperate attempt
to survive
clinging
grasping
refusing to drown
in awareness
frantically crawling
towards the eyes of the heart
to secure the blindfold
that keeps the Self
dormant
that keeps
it alive
Gratitude
the wooden beams have eyes
they watch me
while I lie
looking upwards
in awe
the sound of rain
is all-encompassing
none else exists
but the remaining minutes
of a day
when grace
gently disarmed fear
none else is left to say but
thank you
