Being True
He wore his mask
with pride and courage
Hiding behind
his true face
And dancing
with the Wild Spirits
Ah, the joy and freedom
of being true!
Invented Shadows
Even in this world
of illusion
Where we invented shadow
for density’s sake
Sunlight dances
through the leaves
And warms my
tear-moistened cheek
Unconditional Love
Unconditional love
Unconditional love
Comes from up above
and it fits like a glove
We are surrounded
swimming in a sea
of unconditional love
We’ve only made up
this illusionary game
of separateness
so we can rediscover
the unconditional love
Once again
One Bite at a Time
Little spider
loves to gnaw
on his food
on his problems
on big soft pink mountains
like me
He gives a whole new meaning
to solving problems
one bite at a time
Lotus Petals
Little abalone lotus
teaches me about life
“Aah – Baloney!” it says
when faced with illusion
Still, the lotus is lovely
the many petals reflecting
all the colors of creation
