MY DIVINE LOVER by Emelina Holland

This poem nourishes my soul each time I read it...

Free poetic form has become a sacred way for me to capture and express the wholeness of my personal spiritual practice as a Practical Mystic: to describe it and to share with others for teaching purposes. "My Divine Lover" has allowed me to voice my intimate connection and relationship with my Higher Self (Divine Source) in total oneness. This piece has served me as a sacred channel to express my deep inner awareness and inner work, compassion, love and the gratitude I feel towards my personal/spiritual growth which I get to apply to my everyday life.

My Divine Lover

by Emelina Holland

And it is in my darkest moments
when you continue to softly undress me
so that I can see more depths within myself.
Depths
that had escaped my curious sight.
Depths...
that you caress with your loving light.

And it is your gentle touch
The one that holds my tears
one by one
as you turn them into pearls
you always find a way to make me smile.

And it is in my alone moments
when the silence speaks louder than my mind
you invite me with a sacred song
to fully and truly trust my heart,
the darkness of the unknown,
to fully be and live
present in the now.

You then embrace me with your warmth
holding strong anything of me that is left behind;
when no part of me is any longer able to hide
I am truly transparent and naked
as I am…Eternally brought back to life,
with my soul fully awakened
I am everything I ever was;
woven strands
with all that I am now
and unspoken threads
of what I am yet to become.

You are the source of inspiration
the one that guides me
as I write
my book of life...
You are the poem
in every page
that has magically made me
into who I AM.

You are the sacredness
that runs through my veins…
The Divine Lover with whom
I make love!
You are my Divine Lover,
the one...
to which
I give my All.

IMAGINE A WOMAN by Patricia Lynn Reilly

This poem invites you to look upon yourself with loving kindness… Gazing at your own true reflection, you will discover that everything you have longed for “out there” is already within you! I invite you to love your creativity fiercely. Faithfully plant seeds, allowing under-the-ground dormant seasons, nurturing your creative garden with love and gratitude. In the fullness of time, the green growing things thrust forth from the ground. It's a faithful, trustworthy process. AND it takes time and patience. Blessed is the fruit of your creative womb! I invite you to trust your vision of the world and express it. With wonder and delight, paint a picture, create a dance, write a book, and make up a song. To give expression to your creative impulses is as natural as your breathing. Create in your own language, imagery, and movement. Follow no script. Do not be limited by the customary way things have been expressed. Your creative intuition is original. Ga...

STILL I RISE by Maya Angelou

Six years ago, I had the privilege of listening to Maya Angelou speak live on the value of poetry at the University of Florida. I share these reflections with you again today, in honor of her birthday. I was relieved to get one of the last seats available for this rare event, having arrived at five for Maya Angelou ’s free speech at eight. The historically long line began with people settled into beach chairs in winter coats busying themselves on tablets, or eating sandwiches for dinner. As helicopters hovered above and newscasters below, I felt the excitement of realizing that thousands of people were gathering together to hear an eighty four year old black woman recite her poetry! Maya Angelou speaking at University of Florida on Feb. 27, 2013 When the curtain rose -after an overflow of hundreds were sent away- we lucky ones on the inside greeted Maya with a standing ovation, as she smiled sweetly, beginning her talk using metaphors from nature. Maya asked...

MIRABAI'S POETRY by Caitanya Dasi

Much of the mystic love poetry from India revolves around musical and theatrical expressions that portray the loving relationship between the soul and God… One such celebrated relationship was that between princess Mirabai and her divine beloved, Krishna. Born in the sixteenth century into a noble Rajput family, Mirabai married into a family that did not take fondly to her devotion to God. Consequently, she went from royalty to mendicant, and decorated her spiritual path with poetic songs. I first heard of the great poet, Mirabai in the early 1970’s while I was living and studying bhakti yoga at the Hare Krishna temple in Los Angeles, California. As I had a background in the performance arts Mirabai’s life instantly spoke to me. Her fusion of spiritual sentiments with song resonated with my passion for music, drama, dance, and the devotional path to loving God. In 1968 I serendipitously met a devotee by the name of Mirabai, who taught me that the perfectio...
