Where is shalom?
Is shalom to be found
upon the woody slopes,
beside the gushing river,
beneath some sacred tree
in the summer twilight?
Amidst the anguish of this
quick-whirling universe swept
upon tides of vicissitude,
where does shalom live & thrive?
In the deep undercurrents,
in the wondercurrents
of auroral radiance?
Shalom...
softly swathing love
with infinite hope
in the growing child...
Shalom...
coming of a devotion
that sets us truly free
-- awaken*in*ing
into eternity where time
& all shadows of destiny,
all future, all past,
are fantasy.
In shalom your eyes open like organic stars
to the kind light shedding its mystic
influences inwards, to the center
of a silent infinitude, listening,
tasting, feeling the wonder...
Shalom... touching-in with trust...
Shalom... as tangible as the soft light of
a candle lit in the darkest night
wondercurrents of love like
warmlight washing over you
in waves of sheer delight
Shalom in perfect felicity
& the serene peace
shared between the friends
of the heart...
Shalom...
the invisible garment of God/dess
woven upon the loom
of your heart...
Shalom...
the universal here...
the everlasting now...
everywhere & forever...

of boundless expansions

on the bosom of the Divine...
You are clothed only in beauty,

when you are naked to the bright.

In rapture & tears
you melt into morning.
Your heart ascends upon the
luminous wings of shalom:
joy's gentleness & love,
joy's beauty & radiance...
Come to shalom in humility of spirit
& faith in the unfolding

freedom, of intimations
of unutterable joys...

from the source of the deepestSilences...
