I Open Myself

The rock hot
against my skin
I open myself
to embrace the sky,
in my heart
an eagle soars
gazing down
on the brown earth
the wind sighs
in the pines
the golden light
touches all
like a flower blooming
sitting still
in abundance
all is good.

An Open Heart
May 4, 2009 by Ray Baskerville · Leave a Comment

Today I awoke to an open heart
and love shone
like the sun at noon.
Just to think of you
is bliss,
to look on your face
is joy.
Trust that had grown dim
stands once more
unshakeable.
I merge into your embrace
as if the ocean held me in her sway
I let go and sink
into the light
of love
remembering again
I am – we are
the light
of
love

True Self

There is no self
but the self
that is free,
doubt the demon
trust surrender,
cast it out.
There is no self
but the self
that is free;
mind: the past,
release surrender
let it go.
Be now
the self
that you are
there is nothing
but the self
that you are
at the end
of resistance
there is no self
but the self
that is free .

Healing With Love

With you
my heart sings
you are I the beloved
the love that I am
and love no more a beam
to shine on this or that
but the radiance of a star, a sun
that shines on all
that shines within.
Through your reflection
I remember who I am
and two in truth are one.
I gather in the wounded
the pained and in fear in me
I gather in the raging
the abuser and abused
feeling, accepting
healing,
with love
ending blame.

If I Could Feel This Moment

If I could feel this moment
More than it’s possible to feel
Or just the fullest that I can
Would I not expand
More than it’s possible to
remain just me
If I was more than could
remain just me
or just the fullest that I am
would I not expand
and find that you are me
and all the space between
If I could feel this moment
without distinction without frame
what is there that I am not
and what choice is there
but love.

This is the end game
the final play
we have journeyed
from every corner of creation
passing lives without end
through every shadow of the heart
every radiance of the light
to be here in this time
to become this moment
the changing of an age
the changing of it all.
This is our time
and we have come
in the light of love
thy will be done
heaven will be born on earth.
This is the end game
the final play
it is our time
and we have come.

Loneliness

There is a loneliness
far deeper than
solitude can ever descend,
it is the depth
of the soul itself,
how can we speak
of such depth
how can we avoid
the inevitable pull
of it’s
undeniable gravity.
In the eyes
of the Divine
lies the only remedy
the depth
it’s cause
and cure
our own
infinity.

I Watch
January 5, 2009 by Ray Baskerville · Leave a Comment

I watch
as if at shadows
on the wall
as emotions
tumble and fall
arise and dissolve,
from stillness
untouched,
the very core
where no wind moves
nor water flows
to unsettle
or disturb;
I watch
as lives in a flicker
rise and fall
as trees grow
and mountains form
as wars rage
and empires fall
as mothers cry
and babes are born
as worlds pass
and universes form
and no wind moves
nor waters flow
no movement there is
can unsettle
or disturb
the dweller within
the eternal heart
the one with all.

Opening

My body opens
like a flower
who is the sun
the rain
the tree I’m on
the earth it’s in?
there is only one
I open like a flower;
what opens
into what
by what means?
All these things
there are none
Opening
like a flower
I am

Walking

Walking
there is only one step
between sadness
and joy,
of both
I am convinced
each it’s own comfort
in kind.
Not holding
I step,
sadness
joy
the same.
