Read Poem: THE HALL OF ALL, by Prema Rose

Come into a spacious space
Of vast and endless Beingness,
Where every thought
Becomes a call
To create your life
In the Hall of All.

Here you will find
An open mind,
Where dreams come true.
It’s up to you
To reach your goal,
To touch your soul.

There may be hidden crannies where
A fear lies in the darkness there.
Perhaps a shameful act exposed,
A falsehood that you just supposed.
It will mean you sometimes fall
Because you’re in the Hall of All.

But you can reach the highest star
For you can be all that you are.
Your gifts are yours right from the start,
The biggest one, a loving heart.
Reaching out to one in need,
To mend a hurt, a gracious deed.

Consider all the wondrous ways
Creation manifests and plays,
A platypus, a dodo bird,
Whatever could be more absurd?
Whether big or whether small
You’ll find it in the Hall of All.

Perhaps you’ll want to take a peek
Or play a game of Hide and Seek.
Do you hear a melody?
A witty rhyme as old as time?
You can explore, there is no wall
To stop you in this Hall of All.

How can it be that it is so?
Because you have the will to know.
What is that and why is this,
And how can everything exist?
So many questions to enthrall
Our probing of this Hall of All.

And all the things of which you’re fond
Become a dream in the beyond.
But while you’re here, come do partake
Of joys and sorrows that you make
To keep you ever occupied
So you can say, at least you tried.

And though you may have been betrayed,
Your spirit crushed, your hopes dismayed.
Your thoughts lie in a whirpool churned
Your very life has been upturned
But you are blessed with fortitude
And overflowing gratitude.

Here, in this eternal space
You can forgive and thus erase
The angers, hurts, and what feels sad
To free your heart so it is glad
To have a life that you’ll recall
Is precious in this Hall of All.
