Namaste


like the trees of late autumn,
I bare myself
a poem,
for your eyes only.

Dear Kailashana

I like this. Not your usual type write, but the message is there and straight to the point. I do not know who or what Namaste is but you do and thats all that matters. I found myself reading it over aloud but in a low slow voice and it sounds lovely. Well done Love Lyz. XX

Dear Ones:When spoken to

Dear Ones: When spoken to another person, it is commonly accompanied by a slight bow made with hands pressed together, palms touching and fingers pointed upwards, in front of the chest. This gesture, called Añjali Mudrā, can also be performed wordlessly and carries the same meaning. "I honor the place in you in which the entire Universe dwells, I honor the place in you which is of Love, of Integrity, of Wisdom and of Peace. When you are in that place in you, and I am in that place in me, we are One." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Namaste Love and hugs to all, Anna "...when it agrees with reason and it will benefit one and all, then accept it and live by it." ~ Buddha

Fall is a beautiful metaphor in this poem. I am especially fond of short poems and this carries a lovely image. Gerry Beyond agree and disagree there is a field. I will meet you there. Rumi

Thanks for your visitation, Gerry. The field of One... we already always live in. It's not easy to practice that in daily life. ~A "...when it agrees with reason and it will benefit one and all, then accept it and live by it." ~ Buddha

reveal a hand of greeting offered

Whose eyes are those my Anna. Whose eyes but ours? Whose hearts with love blow off the leaves that hide the Eve from view, not falling dew but sudden breeze of cold that winter sends her future dreams unfold and so reveal a hand of greeting offered and warmth in autumns grey when proffered. Thank you Anna, your open-ness towards us is recognised as great friendship. Love you too from Ann
