I gaze into your eyes.
My fear begins to rise.
I feel exposed and paralyzed.
After all – my dream was traumatized! .
I stay with fear.
I stay with you.
I sense a soft reminder.
Let go all desire.
Here we are face to face.
No place for me to hide.
Your open heart draws me in.
I forget belief in sin.
Your image strange at first.
I begin to focus in.
I ask, “What is this”?
You greet me with a kiss.
Letting go of worn defenses.
The past drips from my brow.
Letting go of expectations.
Released from pain somehow.
Relaxing in as vision changes.
My body’s eyes see something new.
Regrets and sadness fall away.
Compassion’s mist lights my way.
Concepts of my separation.
Fear’s fantasy resigns.
Self imposed obligations,
Tears wash them from my eyes.
Sobbing heaves out old samskaras.
Screaming ancient warrior cries.
Into the river of release,
I leap from cliffs of false belief.
