Joyous Sound
Upon awakening
A tiny rumble deep
Began to gather in earnest
Arising through layers
Various thicknesses
As joy does rise up the spine
Until it hits the vocal chords
Transformation
The sound as clear and true
As a bell or a foghorn
Purpose ringing true
Throughout the Universe…
Tell the Wind
The strength of their resolve
bore the weight of their decisions
In the days of supple reality
on the eve of wide awakening
• • •
Tell the wind I said hello
with lips parched by water’s edge
Give Spirit my heart
wrapped in my simple humanness
And hanging all the while
to the tendrils of sweet dreams
still flapping in the breeze
The Point
Around and around
Spiraling around in tighter
And tighter circles
Closing in on the point
Sneaking up on it, so to speak
It’s amazing
that conversations like that
Touch on the point
And head back out
Without anyone getting injured
On the sharp point
Still, for that moment,
It stood there
In plain view
Clarity of mind
Sharp as a tack…
Basking Glory
Standing on the tramped down grass
In the heat of the day
The sound of hawks hunting
In the distant backdrop
With mountainous hillsides
And skittering fluffy clouds
In a brilliant blue
Here in this place
Where the path turns
Round and round again
I squint slightly
And bask in the glory
Of the lupine in the spring
Spirit Seed
At the center
Of the daisy
Just like the sunflower
Is the seed for more
More Spirit
Manifest as daisy
At your center
Is the seed
For more Spirit
Manifest as you
Let them grow!
Waves of Emotion
Riding on the lovely wave
which arises from the depths
We came to the shore
of understanding
Steeped in exhilaration
and vague memories
of turbulent tumbles of the past
• • •
Still, I observe,
waves of emotion
never stop
They Wait
Farther then the eyes can see
up beyond that big bend
they wait:
Surprises, miracles
Challenges, inspirations
New friends, old voices
Dyings and blossomings
Our choice:
Run, skip, snail’s pace
tumble, walk, speed
or transported by tornado
Esoteric Equation
Avocado = guacamole
Tomato = salsa
You = God
Light = Love
An esoteric equation…
Rising Sun
In the wheel on the earth
midst the path of our own lives
A new song of praise
rose from your heart
Shared and released
for humans and other creatures
above, below, and afar
We held hands and prayed
for peace, for love
for balance everywhere
And we welcomed
the rising sun on a new day
Waiting
The tiny seed sat suspended
In the waiting
With quiet excitement
Wanting with every fiber
Wishing to burst forth
And grow into
Its majestic magnificence
Waiting patiently
For the ideal conditions
Waiting…
