Robert Dow Poetry

These poems are among a larger group that were written over a period of time that followed an experience of awakening, of knowing unity, and that divided my life into before and after. May they find the place in you that knows the Great Sound...............Namaste', Robert

1.

Catching a glimpse, the Love of my life.
This my moment pulls my gaze for all time,
searching the still pool for the
Great One.

2.

Song of the Father

The sound of the world
becoming
Beloved is my name
As I sing for the two
that is One

know me that I am you
my Breathing the sound
of the moon across the sky
and your feet walking

3.

There is an eternal wave
always rising and forever breaking
thrown up by the great Love
and deeper than the stars in the sea

Where you are standing
is the wave, cresting
the foam there your breath
NOW

Feel this wave
and what you want most in the world
will stop getting lost in the dark
of before and after

Hearing the sound of the Great One
   becoming
This Love has always been
waiting to soak my chest with the sound of
honey bees in the field

The gates are open
Run out and play there
   where the brooks laugh with joy
And a fear kept close
   has fled in terror to the mountains

The words I AM YOU were born in this sound
and all the light of the universe

5.

when the outside becomes the inside
and the inside becomes the universe
the truth is here

in the sound of leaves breathing
is a celebration
of the two that is one

when you can talk and listen at the time
the Beloved will press up next to you
and whisper great Secrets in your ear

6.

When where you come from
becomes where you are going
there is nothing left to ask

Let the fog come, spin outs
and the thick of night
There is Truth in this quality
of waiting
