“There is some kiss we want with our whole lives, the touch of Spirit on the body.
Seawater begs the pearl
to break its shell.And the lily, how passionately
it needs some wild Darling!
At night, I open the window
and ask the moon to come
and press its face into mine.
Breathe into me.
Close the language-door,
and open the love-window.
The moon won’t use the door,
only the window.”
What a beautiful poem! I’m not sure who the author is. This is one of those writings that resonates with me in a deep way. My interpretation is that it’s about experiencing life to the fullest and not necessarily in the ways we may think living to the “fullest” means, like traveling, skydiving, mountain climbing…though those things are great! This poem seems to be about truly experiencing each moment each & every day wherever we are, whatever situation we are in, the sunrise or sunset, the moonlight, the first light, the feel of flower petals, the fragrance of Spring, the stars up above glittering in a midnight sky….all the simple treasure nature blesses us with each day & each night. ❤ We don’t need any certain level of intelligence to experience it, just the wisdom to open up to the beauty and receive it.
I am reminded of a song. The Finer Things sung by Steve Winwood.
“While there is time
Let’s go out and feel everything
If you hold me
I will let you into my dream
For time is a river rolling into nowhere
We must live while we can
And we’ll drink our cup of laughter”
The Finer Things – Steve Winwood – mobile
“The finer things keep shining through
The way my soul gets lost in you
The finer things I feel in me
The golden dance life could be”
An incredibly beautiful song!! I love it and sometimes when I’m depressed and listen to it, it brings life back into me. It’s a beautiful reminder to cherish all the treasures of life, all the beauty, the hope, the possibility, the Light. There’s so much beauty all around us that we don’t need money to experience. The cool night air, the changing of the seasons, people, animals, insects, daylight, buildings, the sounds of nature, the sounds of the city, the sweet fragrances of the seasons, the feel of soft blankets and skin, the feel of animal fur or feathers, the taste of our favorite food or drink, the sky above us, Earth below us, the heart pulsating within….❤
Each day I look around me and feel the awe well up and surge through me for the life surrounding me and the rhythm of life pounding through my chest. Often this feeling of awe comes naturally but when it doesn’t I can usually intentionally tap into that place within me, that wellspring of wonderment that always exists even when I forget that it does.
Let’s remember to be mindful each day of the wonder all around & within and give thanks for it all! :mrgreen:❤
I hope you are having a beautiful day or night wherever in the world you are! It’s a cool night here in Philadelphia! 
“It’s gonna be a cool night
Just let me hold you
By the firelight
If it don’t feel right
You can go” ❤

I live near the sea, so it only gets mildly cool at night. The days are still sweltering!
Nice poem and song!
Thank you so much for reading & for your comment! I have never lived near a sea but I imagine it must be beautiful! Here, where I live, it’s usually cool during the day now but cold at night. We haven’t had any truly freezing days yet. Our Winters are more mild these last few years.
I appreciate your comment! ❤
yes, you are one of the finer things. 🙂

Lol! Thanks for the giggle! 😀 It can be a bit difficult taking pics of me because they tend to take over the entire photo! 😉

I’m on my way! 😉 I hope you have some good rain songs ready to be played! 😉 😍😀
