Lampara Poem

Chairs, lamps, oil, and wicks

the four-spoke stories of wisdom’s deep call,

communion — “a liturgy of friendship”

the heart longs for friendship

the heart longs to be seen, known, and loved.

“Come away with me, my beloved, to the table.

you are warmly welcome here”

“A seat at the table, prepared just for you.”

These symbols were etched in a Mallorcan adventure I once had,

the winds of love took me through the details of simple longing.

A heart hungry not just for table food, but heart food.

Dusty grounds and hallowed archways

I chased the blue ocean waters

the quietness brought a settling

I found the ears of my heart most attentive, most sensitive

with the revealing of oil lamps, tender words met me,

the beauty of simple connection

something bigger than me

radiant and true

warm, honest, and kind

I felt known, and it only required humility.

A tenderness that can hold and see such wisdom

it grows like a burning flame inside

a humble little oil lamp

lampara

to cut the wick, to fill this tiny little lamp with oil

a holy intimacy, a sacred connection

“it’s not a bonfire I heard in my heart,it’s a simple oil lamp.”

I found myself lost, sketching old lamps found in Bible times

“there is no need or fuss to make a large fire, come to me simply,

like a small oil lamp that burns”

keep burning

grow hungry not only for table moments of delicious food,

but grow in hunger to seek after more —

more moments of heart food,

food given by a holy heart, a holy hand

yes, the heart desires food —

true and pure ingredients

the world is full of the fuss, the craze,

the constant fads and phases

but I would hear:

I feed you not how the world feeds

I feed you words of truth, love,

an eternal hope, and a peace that surpasses understanding

the belly of your heart desires this eternal banquet

there is goodness here,

where your heart finds home and belonging

oil — so much oil

how tasty and true is this food I give to you

simple, humble —

this petite little lamp will outshine all complexities

and last forever

what a tender and sacred love

tend to the lamp and keep burning

little lampara, shine —

this humble radiance outshines any light bulb

stay connected,

stay tender,

stay humble and soft

cut your wicks and fill your lampara with oil

come to the table

and seek my heart for wisdom’s food

for I will set your heart ablaze,

and you will burn.

Much love and colours
