Have you ever stepped into heaven?

Words deserted you.

Have you ever stepped into spring?

Again, language vanished.

Warm tears of mothers
melt the icy hearts of children,
flowing from generation to generation
until all sorrow runs
into one vast ocean.

Everything became presence—
substance breathing within silence.

Flowers opening in slow rivers of bloom,
fragrance streaming through the air
like invisible water.

You and I,
and then the many others
awakening within me.

Have you ever stepped into heaven?

It is everywhere now,
moving through my veins,
overflowing softly within.

Ah—
it is the meeting
of Me and I,
the soul recognizing itself
through love.

Today is Mother’s Day.

The earth breaks open
with millions of roses.
