This poem is a favorite of mine; I wrote it three years ago. The first verse is the tag line you see whenever you visit Simply Blessed. The “Beloved” I refer to here is God or Spirit, Universe, Field, Source, All That Is.
The poem illustrates a melding of two beliefs: there is no place where God is not and Abraham’s idea that you can never get it wrong. Hence, life or love never fails — you never fail. God is with you always no matter how exhilarated you feel or how low and un-impassioned you feel. God is with you in both the simplicity and the complexity of your lives. God, Spirit, the ineffable, the mysteriously indefinable, is that which courses through you continuously without end.
I have fallen between the cracks
and landed in the spaces
where love never fails
Beloved, you are my captor
and I am bound by your love
I hear you whisper softly
don’t speak. words fail here, just listen
churning on the seas of your desire
I am the rising and the falling
the beginning and the ending
the fullness and the emptiness
journey to the furthest point of your yearning
I am the anguish and the exaltation
I am the grain of sand awakening the pearl
I am the morsel you are tasting
be it bitter or sweet
quench your deepest thirst here
where you think I’m not
I Am.
