Begin again, and again,
and again,
deliberately, with intention,
each day
opening the heart’s door,
seeking to unite
with the divine companion,
eager to abide with us.
Stop squirming.
Release clinging.
Let go of the binding chains
latching us to self-willed ways.
Begin again, and again,
and again,
with ardent faith
and endless vigil.
Never give up on praying.
Countless are the paths
to the heart’s home,
to the dwelling
where Ancient Love
anticipates us,
waiting, always waiting,
while our restless heart turns
inward, as we listen
for the whisper
of remembrance,
the taste of an Eternal One
here, yet, far,
the fragrance of the divine breath,
for a few delicious
moments, touching our soul.
