Posted: 8/31/2009 1:47:30 AM | sometimes i think
i ask for too much
when i think
i ask for nothing at all
things are a distraction
most of the time
they collect dust and memories
taking me away from now
he was looking for a home
but not with me
not now
but he gave me
this moment
and the next
forever | |

Posted: 8/31/2009 10:28:48 AM | To speak of innocent children
Suggests the existence of another kind
But surely this isn’t the case
Nowhere do little ones hold counsel
Plotting military intervention
Or broad-spectrum domination
These are the thoughts and plans of men
Adult engineers of human misery
Proud proponents of inequity
And the same principal applies to
Unconditional love
The one and only kind
Where terms and conditions apply
Routinely misrepresented as the genuine article
We have an altogether different product
Bound by contractual obligations
The substance of the agreement
Is simple self-interest | |

Posted: 9/1/2009 4:19:57 AM | you SOOOO get it my friend...
sometimes
i get so tired
of this world
that has been
created by greed.
love should be
gentle and kind,
unconditional.
i want to retire from this world
(oh my pension tells me so!)
and move gently into tomorrow
where love simply is....
thoughts of tomorrow
brings me happiness today
because i lived my yesterdays
into the moment i go
with my eyes closed
listening to the sounds
of love | |

Posted: 9/1/2009 7:52:52 PM | packing boxes
throwing away baggage
forgetting to simply breathe
stuck in the moment
of my life
i cry
knowing
this too shall past
and through it all i am
clearing my mind and my spirit | |

Posted: 9/3/2009 4:46:12 PM | boxes packed while moving
are reflections of us.
a pile here to throw away,
a pile there to keep.
these boxes
are reflections
of the past.
we acknowledge
the passage of time iwth one pile,
and we cling to
whatever goes forward.
i know that i am not
these boxes, these memoirs
sweet as they are.
i hold inside me
whatever is actual.
if i walked away from here
i'd take myself
and leave the boxes.
i have memories,
i have hopes,
i have life
and i have beauty.
what else is there
except this moment,
this breath, this smile.
i touch my chest.
touching myself tonight
i'll remember that for years. | |

staying
breathing
playing
feeling
beauty
and angry
wishing to be
judgement free
~
falling
exploring
crawling
imploring
seeing clearly
cracks between
the blades of grass
releasing anger's grasp
~
breathing
heavenly scent
heavenly sent
no judgement
all is meant
to be | |

Posted: 9/4/2009 6:29:16 AM | lipo/we...thanks for your reflections on 'the process'...i am getting rid of more than i am bringing...ahhhhhh...such lightness there!!!
bringing this over from jer's thread...(it's dawned on me that i'm spending a lot of time in tears...but that's a good thing!!!!)
all my yesterdays
slipped into tomorrow
without a thought or care
i did not plan
or calculate
or predict
i simply lived
until he asked
how do you
want to spend
the rest of your life?
and
i cried | |

your simplicity
is breathtaking...
reading the journey of our words
playfully tasting verbs and nouns
swallowing thoughts and syllables
remembering the reason
you reached out to me | |

Posted: 9/5/2009 6:06:53 AM | Back at it!
Told to behave
why do I feel
I am back in
grammer school
I believed then I was
a good, well-behaved
student then
I know what happen
I became a professioal
counselor and can not
pass up trying
to help the hurting
Unfortunately many who are hurt
and lost do not want any help
For some reason
I never let that stop me. | |

Posted: 9/5/2009 8:31:21 AM | nice your back dan2...
me.....
i learned long ago
i can only heal me
quietly
while others
are in pain
i can love
unconditionally
but i cannot tell
someone
anyone
how to live
their life
all i can do
is share my journey
and pain
and begin again
quietly | |
|
| reflection of past year into the future...
Posted: 9/5/2009 6:08:08 PM | You got that right
Everyone is
responsible for themselves
I just try to assist
them in hearing
what they are saying
understand what they are thinking
ponder on what
they are believing and feeling
and send them on their
merry way
to deal with the consequences
of THEIR choices.
Easy Peesy! | |

Posted: 9/6/2009 5:54:21 AM | there was a time
i had all the answers
(thanks d2!)
i knew what was best
for him
my self-will ran riot
trying to control
the uncontrollable
until i lost myself
completely
now i know
i know nothing
and all i can do
is love unconditionally
allowing others the dignity
to be themselves completely
going through their pain
i can hold their hand and smile
because i have been their
and understand | |

Posted: 9/6/2009 10:27:54 AM | Exceeding the talents of Picasso, Renoir and Van Gogh
The modern propagandist works in the medium of ideas
Rendering its instruments incapable of delivering
The information prescribed in their original design
The political sanitization of words
Destroys the functional capacity of language
Thusly supply becomes not what its possible to produce
But rather only what’s profitable to produce
And instituting a brutally dehumanizing distinction
Between people and consumers
When demand is restricted to the monetarily empowered
Both the word and the world are effectively redefined | |

Posted: 9/6/2009 10:40:22 AM | chomskian...you make me think...and feel...
i find the need
to walk away
into a life unknown
no longer can i swallow
this emptiness
life seems richer
where nature meets man
not in a place run by machines
and concrete
i am craving
a simpler life
a meaningful life
a happier life
to rest my weary bones | |

Posted: 9/6/2009 5:54:52 PM | The modern propagandist has
been around a long time
So we know who he is
and his MO
thus neutralizing his adverse
effect on those who
know the truth
So as you are on your
journey
hopefully with a goal
and a subsequent plan
fear not for you
are not alone! | |

Posted: 9/8/2009 5:48:39 AM | fear like worry
is useless to me
occasionally i reside
in sadness or loneliness
when for the
briefest of moments
fleeting thoughts passes
but no longer do i fear
or worry or regret
i simply live life today
in a way that fills my soul
because in the end
that is all i have | |

Posted: 9/8/2009 7:58:38 PM | Fear can be healthy
in some ways
if you can not swim
you had better
fear the water
Fearing (respecting) God
is always, without exception,
a good idea
In the end all
you have
are relationships
so appreciate them | |

Posted: 9/9/2009 4:58:01 AM | if i feared water
i would never
have learned
to swim
if i feared god
i would never
have learned
to love
(unconditionally)
and end the end
i have myself
simply
thru loving myself
completely
(unconditionally)
i am able
to love others
completely
(unconditionally)
and when others
love me completely
(unconditionally)
it brings out
the beauty in us all | |

soft september
a child is born
to be, just to be
to practice life's song
double bass is the bedrock
poetic lyrics beautifully vocalized
piano like water cascades
combustion rhythm with percussion
raise arms
close eyes
sensation complete whole
passion beneath the old tree
gentle so gentle
elegant woman
lay with this good man
this heart now beating
give freedom
oh, love completely
never never stop
raining kisses | |

Posted: 9/9/2009 8:20:34 AM | Trusting Myself
the day so bright
sunshine happiness
yellow hibiscus opens
romantic red hibiscus spreads
love completely
oh, love completely
success is measured within
knowing I have asserted and done my best
share the gifts
work to restore peace
teach and learn with humility
walk the walk | |

Posted: 9/10/2009 9:41:11 AM | Fearing God means
respecting God
One cannot be afraid
of the One who demonstrated
unconditional love and
wishes those he created to
learn by example.
Therein is the source
of our hope for the future
a hope that we will experience all joy and peace
in the days ahead. | |

your god is your god.
let us all
have our own relationship
with our god.
religion in your pocket.
not in mine.
poetry
dances
with your silent god.
you are not god.
i am not god.
i'll let you be
who you are.
please me be
who i am.
god is life,
wordlessly.
please take your relationship
with your god
elsewhere.
i love you.
take my love
and spread your god
on whole wheat bread. | |
