Truth

The water in a vessel is sparkling

The water in the sea is dark

The small truth has words that are clear

The great truth has great silence

—Bengali poet Rabindranath Tagore

Within the landscape of writing poetry

I have found a way to speak

“a truth” within “my truth”

and sometimes touch into

a shared truth with another…

and together perhaps

we touch into “The Truth”

And then tomorrow the poem

may be different,

“a truth” within “my truth” different,

without this creative ever evolving

container for my words

I would have remained silent

as I have most of my life…

for words will never describe the ineffable,

never complete the infinite field

of the seen and unseen

yet I believe we must try,

creatively try to speak through song,

music, poetry, painting,

sculpture, dance, story telling

to share the profound

experiences of being Alive,

to love into our fully living,

to live into our fully loving,

To remember we are all connected

To remind each other of our Wholeness

To remain awake & aware

of our Source, Love
