Petals spreading gently

Petals spreading gently, an open heart flowers
Layer upon layer of love radiates
Soft tender folds,
Having no parts

Subtle voices carry, faint through the air
Like a summer’s evening breeze
Into silence darkness moves
And living golden moonlight breathes

Above and below, so it is

Ambience dense with thoughts of no sense
Reality drops deeper toward an infinite word tense
Where boundaries once used to be, no more
And silence the only sound, omnipresent - a roar

Falling petals peel away illusions of a shape-inspired world
Inside, space remains empty where nothing can be held

Petals float on water - a mystic pond
Candlelight flickers, catching the essence here and beyond
Reflecting perfect beauty all around
Love from eyes; brow opens wide illuminating sight

Tiny bells ring sweetness, the holiness of stars
A blessing’s quiet tone, carried gently through flickering night
Delicate petals brightly reflect the nearness of becoming
In an endless presence of light
