I
am
here
the ears
and the eyes
of the universal mind
drawing roses in the sand
of the deep, dry, lifeless desert
images of great beauty and such loving
for lost, weary and lonely travellers to see
encouragement for the pilgrims of the spirit
to leave all behind and walk in the desert
alone in this beautiful wilderness where
there are no distractions of comfort
where the spirit will seek you out
enrich you with eternal wisdom
bless you with understanding
that you, like the roses
that I draw in the sand
beautiful, perfect
temporary gifts
which say
here
am
I

Great Write
I got very vivid images of the sand the roses that you drew in the sand I also get the image of someone looking for love and at the same time looking and finding themself and comming to understand his spirit.
Question is this form of poetry called shape poetry?
Keep up the great writing.

Yes indeed. Thanks for your comment.

I absolutely love this. It flows beautifully and the imagery is powerfully beautiful. I love the symmetry at the beginning of the poetry and the end. I love the spiritual theme of the poem. I love how the shape of the poem on the page reflects the beauty of the words. I also love how the poem talks about a journey and nearing the end of the poem, the beginning is turned around slightly so that the two are still linked but it feels like the poem has gone somewhere. This is beautiful, thought provoking, oddly soothing work.

Beauty in perfection
Dearest Allan, you have written such beauty, visual in its bud, its cored predestined wonderment, as a rose about to open up to the Sun. How you've BECOME the rays of His warmth in the lives of many! I thank you.
Love
Always Myra

Beauty in Perfection
His rays of warmth have always been there. I have not become them, rather, I have become so small that I no longer cast a shadow and block them. Why would I shine my little 3 volt flashlight on you when I can step out of the way and let the millions of lumens of the sun heal you? I get to spray water and make rainbows to get your attention, but it is you doing all of the work. We all speak the expressive language of the living, and the goal is to master that language so we can experience that living more completely. -

But Poet ...
we ARE of the Sun! The Sun is so bright, it may scorch the bloom, but by dispersing its Warmth, it may nurture the growth until the final MERGING of rays.
-
-
Yes. The sun can scortch, but only if we harbor shadows, then the light seems too bright. If we harbor no shadows, we cannot be hurt by the light because we ARE the light. The merging has taken place. Beyond this, each moment is an eternity of grace.
-
-
Exactly!
We say the same thing. We are of the Sun, thus the Light drives away all shadows which may threaten us. And the Light will never hurt those OF the Light, yet with the purifying touch of dispersed rays through Love, healing is done within the core of every soul, in order to let the power flow. How wonderful to be co-workers in this sacred realm.
For Eternity starts in this mortal life. And we are all responsible for our own ray and co-responsible for all those who are brought into our realm by this process of dissemination. This active, voluntary process of spreading seeds of love. Which you are such a precious part of.

Beautiful. You definitely see with a deeper vision, an unorganic eye. One can get a glimpse of the divine throught your words. And it helps me to remember that I have and can see it--cuz I am it. We all are.
Much love -

You have one of those one-in-a-million minds that can not only grasp, but put into action. Any help you need I will give. Why? As you noted, I am helping myself.
