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
Discard
March 2, 2019
reflection
The hand that is drawn is only the whisper of what will be
Each play has a meaning, although this is never obvious
While the game proceeds to the end of the deck we discover
That some of the cards we have discarded were essential
To our self confidence and poise
It is too late to reverse, and too early to fold
Mythical Times
January 31, 2019
patterns
Myth covers the past and rigid belief shrouds the future
Caverns of unexplored possibilities overflow with danger
The dark and murky waters of political polls and pacts
Leave us more than ever way too informed, without facts
Rush
January 7, 2019
river
The sounds are all drowned, muffled by roaring thunder
As the speakers and the spoken words flow like a torrent
Swirling around rapids, churning up silt that washed down
When the mountains were flooded with bitterness and fear
These times are all uncertain and these places in danger
We watch the currents of resentment carve pathways
Through the river beds of stone where gold was once found
Remains
October 30, 2018
What remains is the dregs of the process
The sediment of crystalized thoughts
Wearing away the mind’s own nature
Free of motivations and fears, clear and calm
