Exercising the mind of what is
stilling chaotic thoughts
waiting for the moment to rise
or the moment to fall
balancing the everlasting
origin of truth

***

Perpetuating the development of fortitude
relaxing into receptivity
forever gazing in wonder
perplexed and yet not perplexed
biding in time
everlasting in grace

Quantities and qualities
forever merging and changing
the rise and the fall of the quest
not looking, or finding
not seeking the everlasting

A point of welcome
a point of non-existent fearlessness
darkness shrouded in light
a bird singing in a tree
welcoming the dawn

Whoever or whatever
guest or resident
undefined, but whole
made and unmade
swimming in oceans
of firm waves
humanity expresses
their divine mortality

 Collision in Time

and would I breathe

a thousand sighs of longing

when my eyes met yours

 

and would time disappear

no trace left to mortal eye

 

and how would I know you beloved

profound imaginings chase my thoughts

promising this dream of never-ending

 

and my mind and heart settle on you

I see your green enlighten my blue

 

realms of understanding pass by my lips

pink rose of summer

enlivens this long forgotten kiss

 

melt my heart into your own

for my soul is incomplete without yours

why are we not together beloved

 

as I hold you in magnificence

a million miles away my unity is completed

 

engaging in every single splendour of your being

I know your perfection

you have brought me into insubstantial bliss

 

and now I let go

into the space beyond you

 

and I know that in my dream

reality has manifested transparent stars

in multitudes of light prisms

 

each star a replica of our love

light years away

I know our hearts have collided in time

 

each one an imperfect fragment of the other

each a child of one hundred smiles

blazing the universe into timeless rapture

 

I am you

unconscious and bereft of my own heart

as one beloved

 

all knowledge is held unbound

 

~0~

 

if tomorrow never came

we would regret lost time

moments spent holding

the other in consciousness

as we drifted into formlessness

 

 devoured by the spirit of incompletion

I let go into Unity

Awakened by Morning Light

Autumn is coming Beloved
see the magic and feel the colour
leaves fall into gentle understanding
sofly bedded into mother's rich earth
I kneel with reverence so golden


Sunlight streams through open branches
silhouettes of upstanding grey monuments
enthrall me with wonder and deep benelovence
I feel the holiness of being here in nature
I know the joy and blessing


Cycles and seasons come and grow warm
many now feel deepest gratitude for your patience
each human life holds you close in their hearts
gentling your battered and abused body into healing
space grows cold with the surrender of fear
~~~
Mother Earth I love you
~~~
