When in Doubt

whenever dread
or doubt overtakes me
i surrender to Love
it never fails me,
it leads me straight to You
delayed only by the speed it
takes for doubt to depart.

Love loosens the grip of despair
until it drops away like
an autumn leaf

whenever, harsh words
and poisonous emotions
are directed toward me
i open my heart to
the light and warmth
of Love
like a flower opens
to the warm light of day;
no venomous dart is able to
penetrate Love’s protective
shield
nothing in this universe
is able to pollute
Love’s enduring perfection.

if i surrender all sense of individuality
Love delivers me to You in an instant.

if i fix my eye on Love’s luminescence
i am flooded in Bliss.
if i allow it to enter the secret chamber
of my heart
i am no more
only waves of joy
and Bliss remain.

if i cast my eye on a cloud
moving in the expanse
my burdens fall away
until i am lighter than air,
a wisp lost
in delight

in its presence i forget
the foolishness
that led me to despair

it is fortunate that Love
provides a path directly to You,
it knows no other course.

i wonder now what foolishness
caused me to meander --
nothing remains but
Perfection.
