A visitor in my garden
the lizard appeared on the wall
just sunning and all
and getting a drink near the hose
—————————————————–
Alligator lizards
tiptoe-ing through my consciousness
holding still for eternity
In each moment between
holding still in all brilliance
Thinking lizard thoughts
and warm…
Else, ever seeking without end
ever gathering things of men
ever groping in darkness then
Should I not awaken
from slumber’s dream
release the illusion
of what life seems
…So, I step out on faith
with love-filled heart, I lift my eyes
enter the peace with silent sighs
of blessed grace
From whence, inspiration?
Breathe in and open with prayer
Breathe out and out it flows
—————————————-
Every part of creation
breathes and bathes and is
part of creation
Blessed by the presence of Divine
unmistakably filled,
surrounded by grace
Endlessly the waves
reached up on the edge
to splash against the shore
—————————————-
Mantra of the sea
carries my spirit
Samadhi waves
deliver sea shells
to my doorstep
——————————————
And all the while
dolphins greet me
in their friendly fashion
