The Spiral Library

An experimental space to hold collections of musings, inspiration, creation, questions, answers, thoughts, feelings, etc. A bit like a blog but... different and ever evolving in spiralic motion.

Poem №084 – beyond you and me

Can you stay a while
Let yourself sink into the feeling
Watch the waves roll in
Crashing and then rippling out
A whole new pattern
Displayed across the surface of your heart

If you can pause in the presence of your being
You’ll witness the most miraculous things

The moon moves the water of the sea
Let the waves crash
So you can witness the ripples
As they go beyond you and me

Poem №081 – Let yourself die

Poem №081 – Let yourself die

Will you let yourself die,
Spiraling into the depths of the abyss,
Where your fear finally swallows you whole
And becomes you?

Do you dare to go all the way
Into the kind of darkness
That forces you to your knees
Afraid you will never return?

Will you surrender to the place inside of you
Where nothing makes sense,
Where the same stories repeat,
Like a glitch in the system of suffering?

This is the place where
“I don’t understand anything”
Turns from the greatest fear
Into the truest freedom.

This, my love, is the portal
And I’ll be waiting for you as witness
On the other side.
