Crazy-busy

Posted on November 12, 2014 by Meisaan Chan
 
Throughout your day
of back-to-back meetings
and inboxes and politics
and pick-ups and drop-offs – 
I am still waiting,
still ringing that bell

Headlines

All these cries for my attention
cajole
titillate
shock
or enrage
and each time I respond, unthinking,
a tiny fragment of my wholeness
gets chipped away

Hang on tight
for life is full of mediocrity
and you know its pull is strong

An opening to love

Posted on November 6, 2014 by Meisaan Chan
 
An opening to love
always involves a wall falling down
and a total opening
means the whole fortress falls

Lighten up:
for all of your focusing

Distractions do nothing but fragment you;
I do nothing but bring you to the whole

Comfort, O comfort, my child

Posted on November 3, 2014 by Meisaan Chan
 
Comfort, O comfort, my child – 
your heart is so twisted and tangled;
let me pull at you gently, delicately,
unworking the knot

I wish I weren’t so suspicious

I wish I weren’t so suspicious
or fearful
hiding when I could fly

Some moments you want to last forever

Posted on October 30, 2014 by Meisaan Chan
 
Some moments you want to last forever
and of course that moment always ends
but invisible, it embeds itself inside of you
somewhere
