Guest Post by RJ McBride
For forty some years I’d wandered in a half-awake, half-slumber state of consciousness all the while wondering why life had to be so hard and unjust. Over time, my collective experiences had left me a few grains of understanding.
Today, I’ve accumulated enough grains of knowledge to maybe fill a small bucket. And who knows, come tomorrow I may need a larger container. But simply storing these grains of wisdom does little good unless sharing what has been learned by one’s endeavors. And yet, for all that such renderings invoke, there are moments when only the poetic voice speaks to what is truly in one’s heart and Soul.
SEEDS OF LOVE, a poem by RJ McBride
Upon the winds of giving are the seeds of
Thy love sown.
Flowers from the heart open to Thy Light.
Blossoms born anew awaken the
Dormant Soul.
Abundant are Thy Fields of Love.
It is I, Beloved One, which is the seed of
Thy love.
In Thy name, does this Seed of Love blossom
From the Eternal Heart of Its giving.
In Thy seed, am I forever reborn
Upon the Beauty of Thy great love.
