𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐆𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐰𝐚𝐲 / Poem

Since your-body death I found a different pathway leading through this garden,
The pathway of just letting go and being aware of the universe in flow,
Or rather it is the same that we walked together hand in hand of bright-loving-kindness,
An embodiment of our delight enrobed a while in these fleeting physical forms,
But now it seems even more luminous and liminal -

As your body has returned to the earth and your spirit awayward risen,
I have frequently fallen to torments of the heart because your loss precedes me unbidden,
For whilst in life we have been true love companions not of need but of a complimentary nature,
Yet now my heart is a frozen ocean across which the warmth of our love is shining,
To this homely, holy and sacred harbour I begin -

To awaken the light within I refocus to the expansive freedom of our love,
Thus overcoming the dark posession of despair as the heart's healing powers flow in,
And recognising where this moment diverges into trapped memories that trigger emotional pain,
I transmute them by loving acceptance into the light of unconditional awareness again and again,
By this upliftment I see your loves enduring presence remain,
And the golden cosmic energy is flowing from above -

A bright memory beckons to me now and gladly do I follow -
Walking through the fields of this world profuse with wild metaphor and vibrant flowers,
To the sparkling river with its rapids rushing to gush into the vastness of the greater sea beyond,
The river always speaks her mind to me but her liquid voice of splashing honey elludes,
As the sound within my mind of mighty winds roaring does my perception occlude,
Yet she teaches me to listen with her gently spoken etude -

Dancing daisies in the field meanwhile as dandelions silver and golden buttercups are bowing,
The cowslip's bob and the primrose's shine as both in bright yellow turn to smile for the sun,
Whilst the tallest of deep blue bells in a velvet iridiscence of its own splendid blueness is yearning,
Along with these the columbine and cornflower form a tapestry of beauty upon the earth growing,
Perfectly woven with love -

I can hardly see the emerald green of grasses glinting among the overflowing of joy,
As the flowers of hill and valley claim the day and in heavenly procession they tumble,
Like a medieval pageant of spiritual banners calling out the boundaries of the heart,
Their perfumes soft and subtle curl with whispers of  transformation around me and you,
And I look to you with wonder -

A sudden shrieking stabs into my heart a thorn with icy terror,
I am frozen into the moment and in a flash all my joy is seeping away,
Unable to breathe, unable to think or to move, petrified cold and blue,
For you are not in your body anymore and there is nothing I can do -

Yet not a soul moment has passed between us not even half a flicker -

With a life bursting gasp that finds me breathless where I have fallen,
Awoken by the energy of our love I am upward lifted on these spiritual currents,
Renewed with the realisation that you are within my heart and our love forever true,
That only by letting go of my hopes and fears will I enter the greater reality with you,
Every paradigm of my soul has shifted as I realise you are here in spirit because its what you want to do,
And a world of pure energy opened its eyes -

Your love tells my heart that you have so much more to show,
Of the heavenly realms and spheres of light and the celestial music divine,
Of the spiritual communities nurturing each other outside an infinity of time,
Of the beautiful light that is dancing and singing with such rapture of the eternally free,
Of uplifting the fallen that every soul to the heavenly home will assuredly be,
Of more wonder than I could begin with earthly eyes to see,
The spirit of love came through -

Awestruck to you I turn with the deepest rapture of glee -
All of the treasures in life that we have shared of our happiness, love and joy,
All of these are but preludes to the infinitude of love to which our pathway does lead,
And the earth energies about me swirling now are thick with pollens drifting as decreed,
As the knowing of our love fills the air and the terms of my body-life are shifting,
And the relief of our shared happiness restored is beyond the depths of starlight drifting,
This is the new reality dawning -

And the crows cawing loudly proclaim this love that all who have ears to hear may know it,
The kingfisher flashes his message along the river and the swans in perfect poise too,
The robins, chaffinch and little wrens tell the ants, bees and beetles without further ado,
And the tree creepers, blackbirds and fieldfare take news of this wonderful blessing further,
Whilst the white barn owl with his pipistrelle bats ensure our love illuminates the night,
For love is the gateway to the soul's eternal light -
