Poetry for the Inner Ear

 inner world well-anchored dwelling in heart monastery rich in true joy stormy sea threatens to sink our boat: father of greatness saves us

  glorious the moment supreme being is kind: an ideal world is created   in vain you search ship of light is not there: true god is unknowable glorioso il momento l'essere supremo è gentile: viene creato un mondo ideale invano cerchi nave di luce non c'è: il vero dio è inconoscibile

    angels dwell in secret places contemplating on world enlightenment: breezes here are sacred   god’s abode   not in temple altar of gold and jewels: all the heavens are within you gli angeli dimorano in luoghi segreti contemplando l'illuminazione del mondo: le brezze qui sono sacre dimora di dio non nel tempio altare d'oro e gioielli: tutti i cieli sono dentro di te    

  thou hast helped me poison failed to devour me: calming effects of pearl journey inward on the path of life pursuing mystery of light hidden sanctuary behind waterfalls

 amid journey to stars thrown in fire several times: way to paradise begins in tribulation fearless golden fish swimming  perilous shark infected waters: all the wisdom of the world

 king of kings I do miss how hard I strive: lifetime wish to see his face today is wedding day sing psalms wear pearls rejoice in marriage of the lamb

 god created white flower  teaching love and peace: in order we may be blessed nearest to ruler of  the world perfect souls sing in harmony giving birth to virtue

 the more we pray the more throne of grace helps: looking for rivers of joy forgiving all persons heals my broken heart: quest of the pearl

 innermost heart calls us to altar such wisdom father of truth: choosing peace over chaos destruction of candor sweet tongue but evil mind: forms of tyranny

 something magical happened at last divine voice was heard: soul nourished I was near him little wanderer around deep cosmos in quest of safe cavern

 praying in the early dawn trance creates stigmata flowers calling for reverence brighter than nymph smile of gentle raindrops: angels in disguise

  feeble lamb unafraid of army of wolves miracle of god’s presence helping the cherubs   imitating a dove mind your own business: reflection on olive branch

  queen of the river sings hymns to god: Sign of people living in peace   storm follows storm offering my gratitude at the altar: pain disappears and joy appears

  angels dwell not in altar our breath is his abode: every person is his temple   amid pulsating grief and chaos I search god’s abode in planets or void

 feeling awe in his presence never deserts us in labyrinth of mind: faith will make us free making peace with our enemies taking care of  poor relatives: life becomes little bit of paradise
