The Voice Beside Me

He says it’s not so serious, that everything’s all right;
in a voice so clear and certain, so low and calmly quiet,
that when he speaks, peace is present, palpable and real,
carried not by sounds in air, but what my heart can feel.

Sudden recognition of a forgotten friend’s return
Brings a lifting of the spirit, absolution from concern.
It’s an instant of remembering, a moment unrehearsed –
time outside of time, where disorder is reversed.

His voice falls soft and thoughtful, behind and to my right –
he must have been been there all along, just outside of sight.
So winding was our road, so rapt was I in thought,
I forgot he paced my every step in that unseen spot.

He doesn’t even mention what a stranger I have been,
or all the ways I’ve wandered since last I spoke with him.
No question comes between us, not a single why or how,
a seeming lifetime’s passage cannot separate us now.

In a smiling voice he answers the last doubt that crossed my mind
with such simple stunning wisdom, so artfully opined,
that the path before us vanishes, the trees all fade away,
but in their passing shadows sparkle stars and suns at play.

The stately ordered movements of the cosmos, moon and stars,
flow from his speech like richest wine from finest earthen jars.
I drink, and heaven opens, dimensions reflect all ‘round,
in mirrored halls of the elder king where a prince reclaims a crown.

A prince who traveled with me as a brother and a friend,
who never once asked a thing of me, neither homage nor amends,
but calm and patient, shared my search, whispering in one ear,
reminding, teaching, persuading me to love instead of fear.

I like this poem though I disagree with Lorca, I think we can crack open the seeds in the heart of the dream.

Comment by Joe Wolfe on May 23, 2013 at 7:05pm: I wanted to share something very important with you.

The very first speaker at the recent Chicago Conference was a lady by the name of Mary Gerard...who spoke on the "Voice" for Inspiration. She's a seasoned Course student/teacher and has written several books on how to access genuine guidance.

Her boyfriend is a very wealthy real estate developer from St. Louis. He loves a supports her work, and more recently her latest book, Pause for Inspiration. This 370+ page book is a powerfully instructive work that is free of charge for anyone.

It's written in a way that can and does appeal to everyone, regardless of where "their" ideological belief system finds them.

Her boyfriend offers these books free of charge, in any quantity,...in fact their intention is to create "Inspiration Stations" where people like you and I can serve by sharing the message of Listening to Inspiration by handing these books to everyone for free.

I read this book with great interest. It moved me deeply and I saw how it could be Truly Helpful for many, many people. So I'm recommending it to you and anyone you'd choose to share it with for the only purpose that it falls into the hands of those who need it.

See http://PauseForInspiration.org for details on how to receive copies of this wonderful book. I know that you'll love it as I do, and more importantly, see it for the greater good it serves for everyone.

Love, Light and the Peace of God,

Joe Wolfe, http://SpiritLightOutreach.org

Comment by Janet Sharpe on March 30, 2013 at 9:46am: Thank you Oscar,

I love the Love of God who gifts his child daily~

My gift back will always be the forgiveness that takes out the blocks....

Comment by Oscar Senn on March 25, 2013 at 1:56pm: Great, Janet. "Replace lost with Love, and know madness is unreal – God creates no pain." Beautiful.

Comment by Janet Sharpe on March 25, 2013 at 1:19pm: Here's a few ACIM thoughts to share in Haiku frame. I hope you enjoy them;

There is a new way

to think about the old stuff,

Clear out the clutter.

Replace lost with Love

And know madness is unreal -

God creates no pain.

God is Perfect Love

Unified in Love and Light

Of Spirit only.

In Heaven with All

Eternity is always,

God's Love shines fully.

We can awaken,

forgive the false world,

It was never Real.

Was just illusion,

driving false anger and lies,

separation thoughts.

I do not believe

The projected ego trip -

I join with Holy Spirit.

I forgive the lies -

never happened anyway,

just more ego traps.

Comment by Justina Geneviciute on March 16, 2013 at 5:35pm: Hey everyone, i just started tapping into my creativity. since recovery from my compulsive binge eating I started doing crazy things: drawing, writing, singing, dancing, playing guitar, writing poems. OMG! :)

This came to me today on the way home on a train:

Wake up and look into the sky

So many stars so many stories

Wake up and listen to your heart

Your pain is nothing else but ego calling

Replace your fears with love and joy

Replace your worries with this present moment

For you will always be eternal being in His heart

For you will always be eternal glory...

Comment by Oscar Senn on March 12, 2013 at 12:02pm: Cool, Dalton. I identify.

Comment by Dalton Walls on March 11, 2013 at 4:38pm: This is part of something I wrote awhile ago, it's the only part I remember

i remember when, i thought that you were dead, time and time again

another sin nailed to my head

look at the beginning, and did we even start?

i've been stuck too long in, the empty space of my heart
