Open Slightly Your Hearts

“Open Slightly Your Hearts”
© Karla Johnston, InnerConstellation.com

Eve approaches and night wears on.

I crave stillness,

peace and calm,

falling into beloved arms.

Shed the cloaks of this world,

slip between the veils.

Minds let go, souls take flight,

carried bare and vulnerable to the heights.

Eyes closed to outward form,

an entire world is born.

Heaven exposed, boundaries none,

moon eclipses sun.

Your strong hands grasp the stars,

with arms flung wide, you cast them broad.

I stand in awe, showered in sparks,

of first creation.

Glittering seeds cascade to earth,

find loamy soil and nestle in.

Husks fall away,

surrender begins:

flickering,

venturing,

emerging.
