Poetry

Once More Remembered

As the peace within me swells

When I’m within the morning When the quiet wind-wrest sounds Of misty forests touch my mind And speak to me aloud The drifting voice of morning’s peace Awakes within my mind It’s here that I can feel you speak It’s here that I’m aligned

I spent another day without you Quite forgetting to Be the heart that gives my beating Any light or truth I spent another day Almost alone with my mind But even then, decisions sane Were mine to choose, to find

For in the quiet of the morning Mystery 4am I had spent my time with you I’d rested at your helm I’d sat at your left elbow Watched you steer and guide the way You took me out of this dimension Held me in your sway

Showed me the direction Where the holy waters flow Immortalised the moment And remembered me to those Who live across the veil Who are constant, waiting to Receive me in remembering Of their power and their truth

You take me in the morning To the blissful memory That I’m your one true love And I deserve your mysteries To holiness un-sheltered Unabashed, unmasked, revealed To the gentleness of healing In the mind that needs to feel

You take my hand, you take my mind And, guiding in your way We trouble hearing heaven With the glory of your name We soar on grace-filled gratitudes That open up and shine In the mysteries of the morning In the mysteries of my mind

As mystical inscriptions Cast on slates that, ever nigh Are read before the alter That appears within my mind As I become the heart of you And in your grace I see The beauty of your gratitude Your perfect love for me

In this holy encounter With the one I know so well I remember, I’m reminded And the peace within me swells I’m opened once again Until the memory of you Becomes the perfect memory Of the life we share in truth

The mystery of the morning Opens up the truth inside That I will, ever, humbly, Return here to your side That all I need: the memory That blesses and redeems I am your son, and in my birth Is given all I need

In the memory of you giving Everything to me Lies the peace that is the blessing All the world receives In your blissful sanctitude Your ever-giving love I am once more remembered To what I’m a whole part of
