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.
Poem №088 – Entering the Underworld
it happens with little awareness
and by no choice of your own
you slide down into darkness
an underworld of all the pain
you’ve held at bay
arriving disoriented
though you’ve been here
many times before
you stumble and trip
unable to get your bearings
every part of you wants to run
you make every attempt at escape
but the only thing to do
is sit still
let the eyes and heart
adjust to the darkness
though you can’t force trust
know you won’t be here for long
and know too,
this won’t be your last visit
this is a time of truth telling
when the fog thickens
and the veil thins
dissolving into and beyond
the underworld of being
Poem №087 – Body of Water
I could stare into you for hours
What you reflect back
Is all the truth
I so often cannot see
Beauty in the ever changing
Duality in the soft and powerful
Flexible and flexing
Stillness while in flow
You carry me back to myself
On waves of permission
To a wholeness in me
Deep and wide
Fluid and free
Droplets in the atmosphere
Connected to everything
Carrying the harmonized
Frequency of presence
Through the water body
In all beings
“You find peace not by rearranging the circumstances of your life, but by realizing who you are at the deepest level.”
