Teardrop

A gentle priest 

Told me once that tears are liquid soul. 

I’ve reflected on this more than once 

As tears seem to come easily 

These days. 

Tears of sadness, yes, 

But more often 

Tears of joy, 

Of wonder, 

Of movement 

Of incredulous awe 

At the miracle and majesty 

Of life itself. 

 

I have a vision of a singular teardrop 

Suspended in the light of the sun 

A prism of radiance 

Reflecting the brilliance of 

The rainbow. 

One droplet 

Of water containing 

The mystery of the entire cosmos. 

 

Liquid soul. 

The movement of tears   

Often feels like the birth waters 

That ease and propel... 

Ushering newborn consciousness into the greater expanse 

Of Love... 

Into the magnificence and power 

Of the Divine Mother. 

The Nameless and beautiful lifeforce 

Vibrating in every fiber of 

Creation. 

 

Trusting the rhythm of labor pains 

One rides on the momentum    

Of ascension 

That delivers us into the Heart of Matter 

The Heart of our Creatrix 

The Great Mother of Love 

  

In her watery realms of compassion 

We behold the purity of vision 

And in this holy witness 

Resurrect the Presence 

Denied. 

 

In her song 

The long silence is broken. 

And the voices of the animals, the trees, 

The mountains, the sky, the waters  

And all the innocent ones 

Are sung anew. 

    

We are not unlike deep sea divers 

Plumbing the depth to retrieve lost and hidden treasures. 

As we surface from this meditation 

Into the walk of our daily lives, 

May we claim the treasures of the Deep. 

And be saturated with the Love that we ARE --- 

And are meant to BE --- 

Here, now, in the moments of our life. 

  

May we find our flow, 

Our love, 

Our peace 

Our safety 

And our purpose 

Within the Heart of Mother that  

Flows through the tributary 

Of heart space 

Into the great sea 

Where all is transformed 

And remembered. 

 

Liquid Soul. 

We are a singular teardrop 

Living in the Light of the Sun. 

A prism of radiating light 

Pulsating beyond the realms 

Of time and space. 

One droplet of water containing the mystery of the entire Cosmos. 

A being of love 

Abiding within in the Warm waters of   

Love Eternal.
