From The Heart Of Anthony De Mello

Awareness.

The student monk had spent seven years,
Learning how to comprehend awareness.
At the end of his study it was time for assessment,
To visit the master was his final assignment.

Church

Faithful pair.

Nora and Dorothy are off to Mass;
Everyday they tread the same path.
Whether hail, rain or shine,
This pair will find the time.

Dance

See little babes on the floor,
Moving limbs in time with tempo.
Automatically relating to music,
Not taught, naturally driven.

Just Sometimes

Occasionally I find in life
Happenings to confirm my ideals
Indications to justify the search
The discovery of true identity

Just A Star

Oh how I love the sun
Little wonder ancients worshipped him
Never fails in her mission
Lifts my spirit, clears the mind

Missing

'What's missing in your life? '
'How possible to miss something I've never had? '
'Maybe just one thing. Some people call it love'

How?

How is such little emotion possible?
Seemingly no response or reaction
Heart and mind in turmoil
Carry on as if nothing at all

Why?

Why was such love possible?
Extremities of joy and sadness
So little in commonality
Yet being close was magic
...

People

Tony's stones.

At last the weather's looking fine,
No more rain the earth will dry.
Time to plough the field for spuds,
But Duncan's tractor's rounding up.
...

10.
Writing

Revival.

For fifty years no poem I wrote,
No thought of verse or rhyme.
