The Tulips from Toni – To Be or not to Be<br><br>
<br>
All the tulips on my table have lost their heads <br>
but their bare arms still reach upwards <br>
in an act of worship<br>
that carries me to farther horizons,<br>
opening new paths, claiming my higher self.<br>
An elated melting of all my senses<br>
merges all in the All.<br><br>
<br>
The early morning light streams on petals<br>
scattered in gentle surrender<br>
like colorful wings ready for flight. <br>
I am filled with the bliss of knowing <br>
it’s all perfectly as it should be. <br>
The perfect headless tulips are there <br>
to impart reverence.<br><br>
<br>
Then I forget and go about my day, <br>
but when I look for my list <br>
I can’t find it anywhere.<br>
It was right by the vase of tulips,<br>
I suspect them to have swallowed it!<br><br>
<br>
Could it be why they lost their heads? <br>
Too big a load, I guess, <br>
they surely must have felt the need to download! <br>
Downloading however requires a receiver<br>
with space enough to accept the burden.<br>
Who might that be? <br>
And I find myself becoming <br>
the voice of the headless tulips.<br><br>
<br>
Don’t worry, it says,<br>
your list was hard to digest,<br>
but the tulips easily dealt with it.<br><br>
You better lighten up next time though,<br>
don’t try to do so much,<br>
don’t pile up duties, responsibilities,<br>
and don’t take yourself so seriously,<br>
but mostly,<br>
don’t pass on your burden to anyone else,<br>
allow the trail be revealed <br>
that takes you back <br>
to that place you never left,<br><br>
<br>
let the merging happen, <br>
our voice is your voice<br>
your voice is everybody’s voice <br>
in this moment of ecstasy.<br><br>
<br>
Tulips that talk, headless or not,<br>
I must be out of my mind!<br><br>
<br>
That’s right, the voices answer in unison.<br>
Out of your mind <br>
is <br>
the only way <br>
for you <br>
to<br>
BE!</blockquote><br>
