NOT A TYPO

Have been crying often

For no reason the mind can find

Sometimes out of a gratefulness

For no reason the mind can find

Sometimes because I feel the sadness of the world

Not an emotion but as compassion

Sometimes I cry out of frustration

For not knowing. Is that the mind crying?

Mostly I cry in longing to hear the divine in me

Flow with the life force says my guru

And that’s what I want to do

Yet there is another force inside

That won’t allow the locks to open

That voice inside pleads
Hear me, hear me

The mind wants to hear, but doesn’t

Breathe, breathe, breathe

Let the pressure out and I will glow out too

Hi, hi, hi, said the voice inside

Got ya! You’re smiling now!

And I cry again for that child inside

Who still knows how to play and trick me

Into being happy and relaxed

Do you know how she did it?

Wanted to write “flow” but she created “glow”

Not a typo, oh no, a transformation

Awakening me to the present moment

Instead of focusing on the past
