Hungering for ecstasy?
Have that urge
to merge
with the infinite sea?
Available to you
are countless possibilities
To be sated with joy
and vibrate ecstatically
Ask the first person with a smile
Wisdom rests on a contented face
Listen and learn, give it time to be so
Truth has no need to race
Ask the girl twirling through the air
Making love while fingering her hair
She laughs at lies, fears no crying
never judges, doesn’t dare
Ask the boy dancing free
Spinning in space, relatively
Time never touches his soul
He lives his life positively
Ask the old woman,
she might know
She has lived her life whole
and still willing to grow
How to feel good, she says,
I’ll tell you how
Live this fine fine moment
right here in the now
What I find works
Is accepting my neighbor
Every way I can
Be it woman or be it man
Being loving is being human
And if
in any way
I am caught by doubt
I use my love for God
to figure it out
I ask for forgiveness
and look for connection
I dance to the rock of ecstatic perfection
I read the Good Book
I give all a knowing look
keeping eyes peeled
for that internal devil
Prejudiced scales
are never on the level
Be a generous and loving neighbor
Create a kind mood
Think of Love
as God’s favorite food
We deserve
to serve it
Give it away
Offer it humbly
day by day
The more Love we share
The more God provides
The clearer the picture
The more joyful the rides
Our Love for each other
Is God’s favorite meal
Rewarded for the feeding
Beatitude feel
