Distilled essence emerges when still
having gone through the fire
heat of passionate emotion
at the eternal spring
spirit’s grace
Refreshing , soothing
awakened, still
Distilled essence emerges
when still
Having gone through the fire
crucible of life
instilled with light
heat of passion
Deep thirst quenched
at the eternal spring
refreshing spirit
Coyote once came sneaking around
sniffin’ a bit all about town
with a wink and a nod
prepared to get down
Sneaky, persistent, and loyal, too
Coyote knew what Coyote knew
and his tail waving high
fooling more than few
As the sun prepared to leave the sky
Coyote, well fed, looked in my eye
leaned back head and let loose
like a stylish young girl, his vivacious cry
A candle lit
Within my heart
Burning brightly
With the force
Of Spirit’s desire
The sweetness of Spirit’s song
Upon my lips
Sing on…
Shiny Joy
His Spirit shines out
like a bright sun
Glorifying his experience
with the joyful Zen-ness of the day
While annealed
in the crucible of experience
My joy response
is very shiny!
