“Share in the Miracle” a Poem by Devi

May 1, 2021 by Luvian Iskandar

As she celebrates 8 years living in a deep connection with nature in Edenhope, Devi expresses her gratitude and appreciation of life that is true, serene, and present through this beautiful poem.

Share in the Miracle

Share in the miracle
of a space where Love is Sovereign
& time but an illusion;
a place in which the nature
returns one to itself –
a place of true serenity
in which the fruits of inspiration

grow wild
Share in the miracle
for it is freely bestowed:

the priceless reality of the given moment,
never to be sold, nor lost
in the exchange of meanings traded
by the words and laws of others


Share in the miracle,
through your deeds and thoughts;
& in every act to which you cast
attention, for we all are listening
to the heart speaking its silence


Share in the miracle,
simply for the joy of it, of being
here at play in nature and with each other;
whilst others may rue their days and waste
their labours, here we smile in remembrance

of what always stands true
Share in the miracle, friend,
for we welcome you to us:
have we been watching at the gate
as the Grace moved you here?
Has it been lifetimes already?
Now are you ready to come home?
