I keep diving into the vast beyond, yet still I maintain a thin cord that holds me in place so I can do the worldly things that must be done. That cord is wafer thin and permeable, not a thick rope of coarse attachment but a delicate thread of silken cloth.
I am not ready to let go of the world completely yet, although there is a part of me that has already let go of it. All that is left is this love, this tender presence and this poetry that rises up and spills out.
And here is some more for you. We are in delicate times with many challenges on many levels. May we each have the capacity to keep our hearts open and minds clear.
How far in can you go? Until you arrive At the eternal empty fullness That is everything The time it takes Is of no consequence Except for the time bound self If you want to know freedom You must venture beyond The time bound self. ---------------------------------- May you be as a phoenix And arise from the ashes Of all that is false in you. ------------------------------- This poetry is not a thing It’s not mine There is no pride involved And no plan It is as close to honesty as I get Honoring what bubbles up Sorrow, joy, or ecstasy It’s not thinking or ideas It’s more essential than that A kind of primary something A fraction away From silence. ------------------------------- One word, one glimpse, one taste Is enough to set the soul on fire And ignite a longing That lasts a lifetime. ------------------------------ Be one who loves others And loves themselves So much That goodness flows from you Like water onto a parched land That may be all the purpose you need. ------------------------------ I have become the ground The ocean The sky And the clouds that drift by I am the silence before and after all things I am beingness and being Joy, grief, ecstasy and splendor I am everything and nothing. These clumsy words Are like particles of dust Blown in a great wind. ----------------------------- Sometimes the moon gets so full It wants to explode And then it wanes back to emptiness The sun sends flashes of white light Into the darkness Unstoppable force and mighty sword We are that moon and that sun There is a poem inside everyone Called freedom. ----------------------------- Seek out the one inside Who feels like the victim And dissolve them Into love’s deepest acceptance. ---------------------------- One day you realize It’s all one being life-ing itself The mind can’t grasp this But the soul knows And the heart feels it And it causes such a wave of love The universe falls into it And you know That everything is really alright And nothing you do, or don't do, changes that. ------------------------------ Sometimes The desire to withdraw From the whole game And fall into the depth of silence Draws me closer As the candle draws the moth Yet I stay To feed beauty For eternity is all round me And this time is fleeting And although existence is painful There is an exquisiteness in it. --------------------------------
