One life's proof that it exists
basks purely in the thoughts
that breath and love and happiness
evolve from the realizations
that an individual truly and completely 'understands'
that the perceptual universe of one's mind
is more vast than even the proven depths of all time
that within the cosmos of the one true heart
rests the resource which enshrouds the ends of life…
within this 'understanding' lays
the truth for all who seek
this awe, this light, this shining beacon
brightly glowing through each night
an eternal flame of loving breath
without the bind of living's mystery
it can be seen by those in dream
who retain their childhood's sight...
thus spoken so by one who knows
of the truth hidden in the all of this
this dream, of mind alone in thought
mired in life's grief’s, and not in wonderment...
in the purity of this supreme of gifts
thoughts thus tune one's supernal mind
through the vibrant sequence of this living fire
“Winter's Grasp”
Written: December 17th, 2008
A spark is struck, in vain it would seem;
As the chill gusts of Winter whisk it away into the darkness.
Again and again, you strike flint against steel,
In the hopes of banishing the harsh and unforgiving grasp of Winter's hand.
At last, a flame! It leaps up from the brush,
And the small, dancing flicker of orange and yellow brings heat and light to the night.
Blast! Seemingly in outrage, Winter's wind blows with astounding resolve,
Dispelling your momentary comfort.
Unwilling to falter, unwilling to fail, you gather kindling from the ground beneath your feet
And set to once again: striking flint against steel.
A shout, in triumph! The fire has come! The logs catch, and begin to burn!
The darkness vanishes, to be replaced by the flickering glow,
Proof of the success of your hard work.
The heat is invigorating; it brings feeling once more to your hands,
And you laugh at the joy of your accomplishment.
Everything was changing and buzzing,
My mind was enveloped inside
And dropped into a stream
Silent and Green
Bubbling alive
Sinking down a whirlpool
Floating back, Floating down, Bobbing up
Bubbling alive
A Mountainside, the moss green
underneath sunlight canopy of utter sleepy pine serene
to the lichen rocks I arrived
to the Foot of the Mountainside
to the Sky Reflection
and Silence in deepness
of dark blue green
to the sky Reflection
my mind sank down
a lethargic sunday dream
the hypnagogic sur-reality
with Everything buzzing around me
Take it all:
Fear and devotion,
These brown eyes,
Pockmarked skin,
And my strained heart.
Yes, you're painted glass,
Hand blown, hard as stone,
But your day will come
And you'll shatter.
With fingers through my hair,
You promised smiles, Jazz,
And said,
“Backing the light fading,
Hear a lone fickle trumpet.
I’ll be there, too, with
The bass drum, a metronome…”
But I found silence,
Tears and you were gone.
Have you suffered this much?
Feel your touch!
Be bold
Make a statement
Stand apart
Hold your head high
Go with your heart
Keep your frame of mind
Celebrate and exercise
All the freedoms you posess
Never lose control
Seek the truth
Be courageous
Take a chance
Get around
Explore the frivolous wonders
Cherish your virtues
Admire them in others
Exemplify your character
Sunset rolling down the hills beyond
Another day wrapped in its daily chores
I look into the world with a streak of hope
Prayer and silence searching in my soul
Smile and laughter echo in my head
Of time past, once filled this sphere
Memories are treasures and has no cost
But abundance in meaning is it’s cause
Time..Oh..Time clicking away
My life is measured by the hour glass
A deep breadth I take to command my strength
And glad for the action, a footprint of my deeds
As time goes by my life is natured
Looking back, no cause to regret
I took off my shoes and dust my feet
I discard the bad , and keept the good….. memories
As beautiful as the coming spring
And meadows rolled beyond the hills
I look to the sky and marvel at Thee
For creation that made Adam and Eve
From man’s rib taken to be
Part of him to create a partner for thee
But so different the look given to the other
In the garden Eden that has been
The serpent that led the condemn one in
And has tempted the weaker link
The lover that love followed to commit sin
For the covenant was broken in life’s brink
As one has sinned the other shall follow
With angry rage were sent out of the promised meadow
In this new place that man will have to toil
For their daily bread comes from the soil
The condemn one tempted man to this day
As was given the only promise the Lord say
All those who hear the Word that has been said
The warning the messenger brings will be laid
For the Third Temple will be built
For the King that has not taken the throne
He shall come again to conquer the condemn guilt
I count my blessings every day
For the Maker has provided for me
Life sometime just don’t go my way
But within my spirit I know that
One day it will all reveal to me
All these years I have learnt to be patience
‘Coz that’s my strength and my accompany
Sometimes I forget myself and
Sin just take a hold on me
And I realized that what is right
Might not be what I need
I look up to the heavens waiting for an answer
But it might not come, nor today or tomorrow
I go back to what I was taught
And the experiences show me the correct path
The path that I have walked before and
I realized the answer lies in my years of nurturing
And experiences
How can I be wrong, when I choose what is right
That is the answer to my life
Always to do the right thing and
I know that I will never go wrong.
Cherish the one who is close to your heart
The one that love and respect you
Who cares for you though you are a part
But knowing that he is there for you
Coz you might just wake up one day realizing
That he is no longer there to pamper you
To tell you that he loves you everyday
And hold you tight with his warm embrace
That you have lost a precious diamond
The miracle that you have been praying for
And every night when loneliness awakes you
You wish that he is there beside you
While you were too busy collecting stones
Your precious miracle slowly slips away
To find confort from another lonely soul
To quench his thirst to fill his heart with love
Cherish the one who is close to your heart
Coz you might just wake up one day realizing that
You have lost the precious diamond while
You were too busy collecting stones
You were in my dream last night
Which was strange
And I knew that I didn't want you there because
You complicate things
And what made it even stranger
Was realizing that today is your birthday
So
Happy birthday
I guess
