The Look Everyone Seeks
This oven is hot!
Thank the Beloved!
For too long my heart has cried:
“There’s got to be more!”
So, you Master of dis-ease,
Are boiling me in the heat of Grace.
Closed door, my
Opening to You!
Spiritual practice the alchemy for
Resurrecting a fiery Presence.
No longer looking at the Horizon
I stand alone at that meeting Place.
Heat!
Fire of Love!
You, finally, got me.
“Brian, I sure did, and I’ll get you more.”
I see my longing smiling, crying,
In Your eyes ~ You’ve drawn me that close to You ~ …
The church in my mind
Lighting! Fire! … Gone!
There is a sanctuary of the Heart, and
I have become Your living sacrifice.
Now, nothing between
Your lips and my lips, My Love.
Surprise! Your heart opened,
What did I see?
Wow! My face looking back
At Your Face in me.
People talk of falling in love.
I did! Now, there is no one to fall.
The one living in the Ocean
No longer sails the Sea.
You touched me somewhere on my body
With just the tip of your little finger and
Light blazed forth from a Sinai inside ~
I touched the mount, and all my-self disappeared inside You.
Someone lifted the Law and the Voice of
Grace shattered it into a thousand pieces.
From the pieces grew a Flower:
I call it Love.
Behind One veil is the look
Everyone seeks.
Go behind the veil or you’ll always be
Trying to make love to an illusion.
*Brian K. Wilcox, 6/20/2007
Suggested Reflection
What is the "look" your heart seeks?
Why does True Love never finally satisfy us, but leads us to yearn for more Love?
