Autumn’s Window
Looking beyond this glowing screen
through the trees to Krishna Creek
I ponder on all the beauty seen
and how deeply Autumn can speak
Even Winter knows to pay attention
to the Truths she has to say
He came early but need I mention
has left so she can fully convey
Her utter bareness and letting go
To the Spirit of Shiva she sings
Any obstacles I need to know
well, bless her storms she brings
Awareness of them to my senses
Feeling the leaves as they dance
In the wind, past all pretenses
blowing beyond even circumstance
Autumn’s Window has stopped my typing
has me marveling at the Earth
and both hands once again are wiping
tears that have finally given birth
To Grief that surely had to be born
so I could finally heal
it was not just my tissues torn
when I came into this world to feel
So as my orphan’s pain is expressed
Joy is divinely thrilled
as she knows that I have been blessed
and my Heart will soon be filled
With Divine Light pouring into this vessel
and surrounding my entire Being
my mind no longer has to wrestle
instead surrenders to this precious freeing
Spiraling in a clockwise direction
I am lifted to our very Source
and after some profound Reflection
I now see Love as the Perfect Force
This all happened because I was open
and also because I was here
Where Devi of Speech is softly spoken
and Selfless Service held so dear
Where folks like you and like me
come to sing, to pray and dare
Dancing with our own Divinity
receiving Blessings we then can Share
