whatever It is
that delivers these words
(unreachable by mind’s intent)
through this form
that’s what I pray to
whatever It is
that cracks open this heart
(circumventing mind’s cynicism)
to bathe me in bliss
that’s what I call love
whatever It is
that heals this weary wounded body
(unaided by any out-sourced effort)
restoring it while I sleep, oblivious
that’s what I hold sacred
whatever It is
that births and sustains creation
(immeasurable by mind’s technologies)
unfindable, yet apparent wherever my senses alight
that’s what I bow down to
whatever It is
that is moved by grace
(which is just another word for the unwordable)
to pray, to bow, to melt into the sacred
that’s whatever It is
entertaining Itself

echoes from emptiness 
I like the reason for the poem. Each of us different in needs and thoughts.I like how you led the reader to thoughts and the answers. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.
Thanks for your comment @johncoyote. There was just a movement here to “tell it like it is”, since devotion is often misunderstood, and a poem happened. I’m glad you could hear…
This post does an excellent job of inspiring wonder. I dig it.
Gladness, Minister Raines! Thanks for leaving your generous comment.

Thank you for this wonderful piece..
I’m so happy you liked the poem enough to share it, Walker. Thank you!
Thank you. You speak my language. This is as close as we ever get to fitting It into words. In a world focused on the concrete and absolute, this ineffability is my refuge.
I agree Marva, it’s tricky to express the inexpressible – I am always amazed when a piece like this “downloads”.
I meet you in this ineffability, where we know no separation…
Thank you for sharing!
Beautiful 🙂
Just like you dear Lord Bhakti 🙂
I like the 4th verse a lot. Your writing is soothing
Thanks for commenting, @rsfdeep. As the piece was being written, I thought for some time that the 4th verse was the last one. Then along came the 5th, and I went “oh yea”… now I can’t decide which one I like best!
I’m happy you are soothed by the writing. It works that way for me too…
oh – intimate suchness – yesplease
and a hug
I’ve been thinking of you lately dear Leelah – nice to find your comment here, thank you. I hope all’s well in your corner of the cosmos? x
