recuerda mi corazon

haiku my heart

 

yes i will take you

in unbeautiful moments

i will love again

 

 

to love life, 

to love it even when you have no stomach for it

and everything you've held dear

crumbles like burnt paper in your hands,

your throat filled with the silt of it.

 

when grief sits with you, its tropical heat

thickening the air, heavy as water

more fit for gills than lungs;

when grief weighs you like your own flesh

only more of it,

an obesity of grief,

you think, 

"how can a body withstand this?"

 

then you hold life like a face

between your palms,

a plain face,

no charming smile,

no violet eyes,

and you say, yes, i will take you

i will love you, again.

haiku my heart

 

a song of autumn

hearts willing to win the sky

lost then filled with light

 

 

things falling apart

is a kind of testing and also a kind of healing.

we think that the point is to pass the test or to overcome the problem,

but the truth is that things don't really get solved.

they come together

and they fall apart.

then they come together again

and fall apart again.

it's just like that.

the healing comes from letting there be room for all of this to happen:

room for grief,

for relief, for misery,

for joy."

 

Pema Chodron

honeyed words
 
melting on the tongue
 
haiku cake

 

MMT

 

dear lovers of small words,

lighting candles on the altar of

remembrance.

a time of divine connection as the veil lifts between this world

and the next.

 

a time to lift our hearts in gratitude for 

all the love and guidance of those who have paved a

deeper meaning in our lives.

 

while we are giving thanks-

let's take this moment to acknowledge 

magical mystery teacher 

 

someone who keeps the haiku fires burning bright.

someone who knows when i am away struggling with life-

and generously throws another log on our fire

to keep us all bathed in warm light.

 

haiku my heart

XOXO
