Love Without Borders
What is life about?
Fame, fortune, wealth, creed or
to walk life's path, to experience, to learn, to prevail.
To attain to the meaningful, where do I turn?
'Love Without Borders' could be an aim.
If in our depths we are one
In essence we are all part of the stream of life.
Love in it's fullness within our depths
It's in our extremities our differences lay.
Soul and Ego in a cosmic dance.
The Soul often gentle and encouraging
The Ego often wants a fight
Importantly befriend the Ego, become more free
That Soul and Ego may work in harmony.
'Love Without Borders' a worthy aim.
Addressing our internal and external barriers and borders.
Love from the Soul surely the key,
expressed with faith, warmth and integrity.
Barriers sometimes an important and necessary choice.
The wider community a panorama of many on a journey.
Let's aim to diminish borders, inner and outer,
wherever and however we can.

Poems by Bryan
I have written a number of poems over the years and they are generally about thoughts and questions I was having at the time and what evolved from them.Cave of Unknowing is around existential questions and the meaning of life. Love Without Borders is about barriers and borders internal and external.

Cave of Unknowing
Ancient timing
A cave of unknowing
A metaphor of becoming
A stalactite suspended from the roof
A stalagmite rising from the floor
Percolation from roof to floor
Drop by drop
One giving one receiving
Lower rising towards the higher
To a future point of meeting
Blessings shared
Higher Self, natural self
Higher awareness becoming natural
Natural awareness becoming higher
Union most profound
Step by step
Becoming unbound.
