in this season of reckoning
my heart’s aims
and its marks missed
with so many recollections
of my misdeeds
and missed opportunities
in repetitions
of my errors
in my tears
and deepest longing
I
wish only to
empty
my-
self
And wait

You are such a dear, Patty…thank you!
Beautiful Joan
Thank you, my darling Lorraine! Blessings to you, sweet friend.
So tender and beautiful. The ending is so fulfilling – deep within me. I join you in waiting. Blessings and love. 🙂
Thank you, sweet Krishnapriya…your company is always appreciated. Each year’s “returning” to “the land of Soul” tugs differently…I suppose because I am different each year. But I already feel the intenseness coming on, the vulnerability, welling of tears…I pray my heart will open to a brighter, truer Song…that I will have the courage to sing. Blessings and love to you, my sweet friend!
What does this time mean for you? Is it a time for introspection of the entire year – i mean the custom and tradition? I have heard from a spiritual teacher that tears for God are a song of the soul. So you are singing already. 🙂 And may you be blessed to sing in many wondrous tunes and dance with the Source of all music, love and beauty. My prayer for you. 🙂
Sometimes it is so difficult to empty oneself and begin anew.
Yes, you are so right, my sweet Pari, thank you for understanding…and some years the feelings and meaning hit especially hard.Blessings and love to you!
