Retreat
September 7, 2019
Retreat into the center to find the truth beneath the breath
The way is cleared, obstacles are removed from the path
In stillness.
The mind heals itself in silence.

Lesson
September 5, 2019
mandalaThe author did not sign the work, but left it on the ground
At first nobody noticed when it came alive with sound
The colors became fluid, and the words escaped in flames
A violent rush of emotions turned assumptions into games
There was no time to interpret the truth it brought to light
The lesson arrived too late to stop the impending fight
Rapid Ride

bridge
This interlude is punctuated by quick movements to the side
Each moment is tense, somehow fragile, breaking stride
With the smooth and even pace that we have come to know
The ripples of the sound waves are muddled in the flow
The waves and splashing water carry power in the tide
Floating downstream here and now is a rapid ride.
Wall Of Silence
September 3, 2019
wall of silence
Tangled tendrils of lost innocence cover the wall of silence
The barrier between infinite wisdom and earthly needs
Stands tall, sits firmly in the middle of the field of reason
Dividing the consciousness of the wilting population
Separating the elements of life into compartments of gloom
Flight Of Fright
September 2, 2019
humanity
Figures take flight across the the sky, filling the air
With shrieks of both joy and anguish as they escape
No warning was given, no hint of the destruction to follow
The surface of the earth reached a critical temperature
That suddenly ended all life as it had been in the past
There is no doubt that we used our gifts way too fast
We have destroyed everything that sustains life
In order to deliver plastic bottles of sugar water everywhere
In a desperate world to starving hoards of humans
Instead of vital nutrition, care and loving kindness
We are, well and truly, finally broke.
Contentment
September 1, 2019
Sky
Breath and light provide a path to liberation
Beyond the dense barrier of harsh beliefs
When images and words subside, the heart opens
To find health and healing in everyday life
Contentment is at hand at every moment
Centering
August 31, 2019
Circle of Life
Patience and persistence will bring new levels of ease
The center is the place of no resistance, no strain, no pain
Staying in the very middle of it all takes steady focus
On the fleeting nature of time, the essential nature of change
The vessel we become as a result is filled with blessing

Moon Dream
Black moon illuminates the darkest secrets of change
Under the influence of nature, growth happens underground
Roots spread and take up the magic of the earth around them
Feeding the sprout of new vision, inspiration, and grace
No sign of life appears above until everything is in place
Dream Corridor
August 29, 2019
Stepping stone dreams bring me closer to clarity
Upon opening my eyes I start to drift from the course
Into a sea of busy, important, never-ending issues
That will turn out to be meaningless in the end
Light and dark have shades and shadows
Time has the power to make the story bend
As daylight slips slowly into my vision
Contrasts and sharp edges change my decision
Holes In Our Theories
March 19, 2019
Holes in the theory
Holes in the theory
Holes in the theory
From childhood to old age we change our definitions of fear
We learn to isolate ourselves from the dark side of the world
We distinguish ourselves by the way we carry ourselves
Through crisis into glory, which could melt away at any moment
Revealing the depths of our ignorance showing our innocence
