The Essence Of Being

Whatever the energy 
                           that I embrace 
That beats with my heart
                  And inspirits my face 

That makes me a person
                    And carries my soul  
I know that it is this
      Which then, makes me whole

Whenever I wonder
                  The essence of being
Which makes us alive
               With all that I’m seeing

I always remember
                This awesome bequest
Was given of love
        Through mystery undressed

Adrift in the currents
                          Of spirit in flow
So gracious in catering
                           All that I know

Hello Mike, It’s as if you’ve captured the very heartbeat of existence—the energy that animates us. The mystery that makes us whole. The currents of spirit flow through you and your essence shines through every line. Blessings, Daniel
