Guru Purnima

Guru Purnima
Day set aside to honor gurus
but I have so many
where would I begin?

I meet them daily
strangers whose eyes tell a story
beggars who enlighten me
life’s partners

I learn from the songbirds
the turtle crossing the road
the playful chipmunks
each being teaches me something

I learn how to listen to my heart
I learn how to follow my soul
I learn how to still myself
gurus are all about me

they come to me in my meditations
they enlighten, uplift and validate me
I meet them daily
in my silent self
