Poem by Nirmala - My favorite poems

every taste
every sensation
every possible pleasure
is already present
in the timeless
awareness
that is beating my heart
what use
in chasing dreams
that have already
come true
________________________________________

it doesn’t matter
what I do
mind judges
then judges itself for judging
that’s just what minds do
when I let it have its way
it surprises me by stopping
and in the vacant interlude
the mind finds no grip
and falls effortlessly
into the deep pool of silence
it never left
________________________________________

I never knew tears could feel so good
until I opened my heart
and found they come from the same source
as boundless laughter
instead of blurring my vision
they bring beauty into focus
instead of burning my cheeks
they wash away dusty dryness I used to hide
behind
let sorrow have me now
for surrender has freed me to savor
the bittersweet nectar
that flows in measureless abundance
from within
