I spoke with the sun today and he said to tell you that he loves you.
He said he hopes your always turning toward him, not away, as you spin to keep your balance in the universe.
He said he loves everything about you, your mountains and rivers, your glaciers and forests and all the beautiful lights that play upon the surface of you. He hasn't seen those lights because his love for you is so bright. The little gems that breath and dance are hard for him to see. He's heard about this part of you from the moon and stars.
They make poetry about the color of your soul as it moves upon the surface, swims beneath the waves, and flies through the air. What he can't see because his love is so bright, he hears about from those who, like he does, look always to you.
Your beauty travels in stories, told across the vast and quiet spaces,
in the poetry of heavenly bodies.
He loves you best though, he says, and lives as close as he can to you.
I spoke to the sun today, and then made this prayer for you.
I pray that all the blessing in the world fall on you and wash over you like clear sweet water, and the wind brings you the fragrance of distant blooms. I pray you stand out in the open tonight, so the moon and stars can see you and be blessed by the light of your soul.
Move slowly through the day so that all who love you get an extra moment with you.
The world woke up today looking forward to seeing you, and like me, will miss you until I do.
The sun sends his light and love to you, while he waits to hear about the light in you, and listens to the story of the soul he cannot see.

Sun, April 27, 2008 - 11:52 PMYour welcome Isabella and Beth and Nadia. You very welcome. If you liked that, then maybe this one will be welcomed also.
The Light in you.
I have respect for your journey, for the arc of your life. The movement away and the return.
For the dance that is so intimate, for the poetry that is your soul.
For the expression and involvement by which you live and are known.
I honor your way, your choice, your flight, your storm.
Whatever family claims you will have it all when you arrive. You are the prize.
There's a hush now in heaven as it waits for you to choose.
When you do, whomever you've chosen, and whomever you choose will be blessed by your choice.
The blessing of your presence will draw Light into the room, because your in it, and because the Light's in you.

Re: The Sun, the Moon and Stars...
Tue, April 29, 2008 - 11:07 PMHey Shamsi, yeah I wrote that. I'm circling in on something, trying to say with poetry and prayer what I feel welling up in me. I was looking at some of the stuff I wrote the other day and thought that it's just this one poem, this one prayer that I'm looking to express. This one short story that reflects the truth I can feel and almost touch. I used to keep it all inside, but a few months ago I really needed to try to say some of it aloud and so I found tribe and started writing. At first it was all a jumble because I've never written really. I was nervous and had to try to find some basic structure to express it in. Now when I look at what I'm writing I see the possibility of one poem, one prayer, and one story. If I get it right I can go back under my rock, disappear into the garden and be a happy quiet nutter down by the way. :)
I'm glad you liked it. it's meant to honor you.
Cheers...

Re: The Sun, the Moon and Stars...
Thu, May 1, 2008 - 9:58 PMAs I read your poem, I could imagine myself sitting in the sun, basking in the warmth of that love. A million rays were trickling the light of pure energy in through my head. I felt a tingling as that light traveled to my heart then all the way down to my finger tips and toes.
Thank you for moving me so deeply.
~Namaste~ -
