The sweet, sweet aroma
permeates everything
manna for the soul
Essence of heaven on earth
reminder of the sublime
Grace of nature’s flourish
In any of God’s gardens
——————————————–
The aroma soaks in
through every pore
tickles the subtle body
Softening, softening…
Held up by his crown
of silver earned by years
the ethereal golden crown sits
—————————————–
The double-crowned elder king
accesses wisdom unfound
and unheeded in younger years
He wields power beyond brawn
and physical circumstance
—————————————
I honor the elder king’s powers of
reflection and realization
humbleness and compassion
and others born of both
gold and shadowed silver…
The lizard clings
to the warm rock
Basking in the love
and warmth of Sky Father
Gathering speed to jet away
Spirit fuel is much
like rocket fuel…
Central to the essence
of the One thing
on the tip of the mind
Was the fire and water
and other elements

No way around it
(may as well walk through)
It’s all a part of and
connected anyway
