Poem Commentary

Written for JIMI MALONE soul of my soul and heart of my heart

Reach

Call forth the slumbering aspects buried deep;

                    taken is love
                    given is love
                    returned is love
                    all is love

Draw with opened palms from across these miles;

                    taken is love
                    given is love
                    returned is love
                    all is love

Further into the love self-transcending it shows we are in control of destiny;

                    taken is love
                    given is love
                    returned is love
                    all is love

For we walk not alone but empowered to move in the physical universe;

                    taken is love
                    given is love
                    returned is love
                    all is love

Heart to heart let us rise with healing wings forgiving self and others;

                    taken is love
                    given is love
                    returned is love
                    all is love

Self-compassion expands to other compassion building blocks of real passion;

                    taken is love
                    given is love
                    returned is love
                    all is love

I love your soul so rich and true, uniquely you;

                    taken is love
                    given is love
                    returned is love
                    all is love

Open to the true words ~ I love you;

                    taken is love
                    given is love
                    returned is love
                    all is love


Understand me when I say with you I am complete;

                    taken is love
                    given is love
                    returned is love
                    all is love

Thank you for being in my life and being you;

                    taken is love
                    given is love
                    returned is love
                    all is love

Very nice Grace! This actually put me in mind of Maya Angelou! I loved the refrain, repeats. Powerful, indeed! Thanks for sharing your gift and please visit one of mine when you have time. Thanks again, Rose. (queenrosered) :)

Thank you Dah, I can see you hear the depth of this and what is happening in the unseen, I appreciate that about you, the ability to hear and understand things not everyone can hear. I also want to again state, your writing is a music in its own class and inspires others including myself to creativity and I appreciate that about you as well my friend. Thank you for reading my work.

Thank you for your kind words on this piece, I stepped out from any concrete form because I wanted it absolutely clear without ambiguity, normally I protect his name from the prying eyes of others, but I felt he needed to know this as all others are because and about him only notwithstanding GodSource who also inspires me but this man is in all of what I write.

Your beautiful mantra is a koan of balance and trust (how can something that is All be Taken and Given? but somehow, it can ...), sparking the elicitation of prayers that ping the many threads of gratitude that connect us with Mystery. A friend recently shared this quote from Krshnamurti: "The action of love has no motive, and every other action has." I very much enjoy reading your work, as it continually embodies this understanding. Thx for the post!

You bless me with your insight and gift me with a wonderful quote that sums up all. Appreciate you I do.

Poetry comes nearer to vital truth than history.

Plato (BC 427-BC 347) Greek philosopher.
