Invitation to Love. Monday's Inspiration 56, a Dedication to Lorna Lamon

Namaste! Good morning friends and welcome to another Monday's awakening virgin dawn-- a new day and a new promise. The twirling moon is blessing and guiding us, into the luminosity of daybreak and all is good. Let our Hearts speak, our hands serve and the eloquence of our voice sing only of inspired thoughts.

As we fail - and we will fail - let us pick ourselves up joyfully, like snowflakes, renewing our aspirations to Love and service. God speed!

Come Into my Heart, O Beloved, come!

Stars kiss in secret; while moonlight unfolds.

Love ascends to the Emperors Kingdom,

Heralding calm, in the depths of my soul.

Come into my Heart, O Beloved, come!

Spring fast approaches; mulberries rejoice.

Lavenders fragrant; alluring to some,

While blue-bells blush; zephyrs whisper Thy voice.

Red-breast, canaries and blue-birds converse,

Wooing my Spirit, with laughter and tone.

Rose leaves of autumn, recycled to dust;

The white snow mimics, Your grandeur alone.

Explosions of rays, from heaven pervades,

No more the penury of darkness-night.

Angels and cherubims, sing from the glades,

Cascading their aura of golden Light.

Come into my Heart, O Beloved, come!

The doors of this tavern are wide open.

Emptiness dances, soon to become,

Your firefly-lustre and soaring wren.

My village, Hermitage, taught me the spirit

Of camaraderie, simplicity, innocence … hospitality.

My mother taught me the spirit of dauntless sacrifice,

Of self-giving, cheerfulness and fortitude.

My Grenada taught me the spirit of fun, gaiety … beauty.

My England enhanced my spirit of character,

Nobility, large-heartedness and speed.

My African ancestry, gave me the colours of richness;

Of patience in adversity. My America taught me the

Spirit of movement; of constant flow.

My Philosopher-friend Socrates, taught me to be

A Citizen of Silence, the eloquent expression of the Unspoken.

I am no more a citizen of any country, for

My Heart is a Citizen of boundless Silence.

In Silence lies the feeling, of Love’s universal oneness;

In Silence lies the peerless Bliss of the Beyond;
