Description
Painting the memory of a sunny day in Tuscany where the sunflowers were past their peak. The large older sunflower heads were bowed heavy with seeds, while other bright sunny flowers shined down upon them....I wrote the following poem: COME INTO THE QUIET
Come into the quiet,
the flowing crystal blue stream.
Warm iridescent bubbles float round me,
touching every nerve with moonbeams.
It is our secret, our secret garden,
and a secret door unlocked today,
so that old tensions float away.
Hidden angers, blocks of stress,
no longer repressed,
are purged and purified
by those fragrant streams
living and breathing in me. Pleasant dreams
of a home of peace call me home,
to a place I have never imagined, much less known.
You are there waiting and ready,
with love’s arms open wide,
inviting me to come, steady,
‘Further up, further inside.’
For my own health and strength
I must come the whole length,
leave old resentments behind,
let go of the self-pity whine.
I give up the lonely hiding which saved my face;
let go the only way I knew to protect my space.
But now my space has exponentially expanded –
For all space is Yours, even-handed.
In You now I freely live and have my being,
and move –dancing, supple, with my lover singing.
With You who knows me through and through.
Out of darkest night refracting into diamonds of light.
September 1998
‘May my prayer be set before you like incense.’
Psalm 141:2
