This is it
I am leaving wordpress after 5 years of poetry

It has been wonderful
But enough is enough

If you want to stay in touch and follow my poetry
You can find me on substack
https://kavijezziehockaday.substack.com

My subscription will run until the end of this month and then expire.

Thank you so much for following me, liking my poems and paying some attention.
The poetry is not stopping, only my chosen and preferred platform.
I still do all my poetry free and substack is no different.

So if you fancy continuing the journey jump on.
Otherwise be well and be blessed.

FORM AND FORMLESS

On By Kavi Jezzie HockadayIn artist, Awakening, Divine, Ecstatic Poetry, emptiness, Freedom, metaphor, Non Duality, Nonduality, peace, poetry, Spirituality1 Comment

You are eternal and unchanging
A universe in which manifestation occurs

You are also manifestation occurring
Temporary and forever changing

Finding a way of living these two truths
Is the ultimate dance of form and formless

The sky and the clouds may appear different
Yet are all one thing.

THE DANCE

On By Kavi Jezzie HockadayIn artist, Awakening, Divine, Ecstatic Poetry, Existentialism, Freedom, Inspiration, Love, Non Duality, Nonduality, peace, poetry, SpiritualityLeave a comment

When the compassionate heart is discovered
When the knowing of the deepest love is revealed
It changes everything
And you will never want to leave there again

And all the forgetting and getting lost
And the returning home
Will become a dance
Instead of a burden.

REVOLUTION IN CONSCIOUSNESS

On By Kavi Jezzie HockadayIn Awakening, Death, Divine, Ecstatic Poetry, Evolution, Existentialism, Feminine Frequency, Freedom, Love, Non Duality, Nonduality, poetry, Spirituality1 Comment

There is a revolution happening
IN YOU

The door has always been there, throughout time,
But always it has been a partially shut door
We had to squeeze through
To discover our true nature
And our one compassionate heart

That door is now WIDE OPEN
And freely available to all
No need to squeeze through
No privilege of enlightenment for the few

Now it is possible for all
Still it requires persistence,
Surrender of the righteous belief system
And a willingness to face ourselves

But there is a revolution happening
IN YOU

Friend, this is the time, now, here, in the midst of this structural collapse
Open your heart and mind
Turn off the fear, and all the causes of fear
And embrace your inner authority
As the cosmic being you are
Stop all activity that distracts you from your one true purpose, INNER REVOLUTION.

TO KNOW ETERNITY

On By Kavi Jezzie HockadayIn Awakening, Divine, Ecstatic Poetry, Existentialism, Freedom, Non Duality, Nonduality, poetry, SpiritualityLeave a comment

Presence is a portal
Through which we know eternity
There is only one hole in time’s tapestry
And that is NOW

We are born of time
Like all flesh and blood
Like all form

Yet still we can know eternity
When we come to a complete stop
And allow the mind to settle
As the sediment in a bottle settles
After shaking

To intimately know eternity
For one exquisite moment
Brings an ecstatic wave
And an un-reconcilable grief

That our time here is fleeting
And gone so quickly.

IT IS ALRIGHT

On By Kavi Jezzie HockadayIn Awakening, Divine, Ecstatic Poetry, emptiness, Existentialism, Freedom, Love, Non Duality, Nonduality, peace, poetry, SpiritualityLeave a comment

There is a point on the journey
Of awakening
When you realize
It is all alright
It always was alright
It always is alright
And it always will be alright

Despite the suffering, the hardship,
The war, the loss, the grief,
The violence, the terrible things
We do to ourselves and each other

Still…
It is all alright
It always was alright
It always is alright
And it always will be alright

There is no way of explaining this
So the mind that is divided understands
It is not an argument or a belief
And it doesn’t stop the wheel of pain

It just brings great relief

For you have fallen into your god essence
And realized that separation
Is the most beguiling of illusions
But ultimately untrue.

The Beloved Says…

On By Kavi Jezzie HockadayIn artist, Awakening, Divine, Ecstatic Poetry, Evolution, Existentialism, Freedom, Inspiration, Love, Non Duality, Nonduality, poetry, Spirituality1 Comment

The Beloved says…

Go forth into the realm of form
Be an emissary of the light

Seek to be unattached
Even as attachment
Wraps you in its arms
With its sweet and tempting offers

Seek to stay as love
Even as fear grabs you
By the neck
And breathing becomes labored

Seek mastery of desire
Even as the lure of comfort
And the veil of security
Draws you toward it

You will become lost in that place
And then, child of the light,
Remember to dance
Remember to laugh and sing
To grieve and cry in the devastation
To soak in the pouring rain
As it drenches your wounded heart

And let that remembering itself
Be the light that you carry
To share with others
Who have forgotten.

Grace Misses Us

On By Kavi Jezzie HockadayIn Awakening, Divine, Ecstatic Poetry, Freedom, Non Duality, Nonduality, poetry, SpiritualityLeave a comment

It is the mystery that informs us
Yet we turn away again and again
In our arrogance and control

The unknown surrounds us
And is the very core of our existence
Yet we scramble and clutch at the known
Terrified of the void

Our lives are borrowed
Our breath sacred
Grace itself has bestowed upon us this miracle
Yet we turn away
Distracted by phenomena
Lost in our petty games
Forgetting to say thank you

But everything borrowed
Must be returned
And breath will run its course
The game will be over

And grace will call us home
Having missed us so badly.

EVERYTHING IS ALRIGHT

And then one day you realize
At the end of life
Or at some point on the journey
That it’s all God
It’s all one being life-ing itself
And the mind can’t grasp this
But the soul knows it
And the spirit knows it
And the unconditional heart feels it
And the inner eye sees it

And this causes such a wave of love
That the whole universe falls into it
And you understand
That everything is really alright

And nothing you do, or don’t do, changes that.
