Seeking truth
I walk the monastery
Early morning
Coos of doves
Sing in dawn
I knew
I would cry
If I went to mass
I did | |

Posted: 9/27/2009 6:06:54 PM | OK...I'm new. Not a poet, but I thought of this...
My faint guidance from directionless desire
Paradoxically imprisons me to aspire and acquire.
In the places where perspectives vanish, and vanishing points end
Concealed in infinite hiding, is an adoring compassionate friend.
Honesty the master, and I am the slave
Conspiring to speak, and keep the hidden hid away.
The heart wriggles and whimpers to be fed,
on you it must rely.
It acquiesces to pump life’s blood,
hoping only that you will seek those who can hear it's cry.
Immune to worldy things and practical matters, do's, don’ts, money, status, or shame
Often it compels us, to words and deeds conveniently without blame.
Like a soft downy feather, that shreds skin like jagged steel
The 'one' can gift me solace, or fail to reveal.
Whether from the salty sea from fishing, from the onion, or the heart
Tears know not context nor cost, they only know that they are. | |

Posted: 9/27/2009 6:23:49 PM | | Thank you. :) There are a couple others...I didn't write them just to write them. They are responses to people from the heart that I chose to put into a more playful form. Perhaps I'll post them. | |

Posted: 9/29/2009 1:16:43 PM | This thread inspired this poem. Maybe not exactly in the spirit of the thread, but figured I would post it anyway.
Advice I give
mending lives
wisdom I have
a hundred lives
A hundred deaths
seemingly lived
yet seems to me
ive never lived | |

There’s a sign on my door
It says sunshine for all
But from where will it come?
On who shall it fall?
Pushed not from inside
To the hungry devout
But extracted from within
By the beings without
Core fires formed and forged
And stoked by the need
But for the thirsty
Leaden ashes might be
Light conquers the dark
Rain and gray pushed into flight
In concert to quench
All that is light that is right
Prone in the glow
Of a warm summer day
Dissolving in once was
Dreaming memories away
Blinding sunshine as viewed
From the source it is known
Blinds not, but illuminates
Some of the many ways home
With contorted thin word
Heart wrought by the fire
Trusting faint guidance
Of directionless desire
Sunshine broadcasts
Randomly wild and free
Which beam warms my heart
I may be gifted to see
Cagily hiding between
“no” and “every” of the “where”
Is the “some” of it all
And it may take me there
To the some of the where
I’ll be destined to find
This sunlight of mine
To shine in my mind
So the gift back to the host
Of light gladly given away
Is the reflection of the lit
Reciprocated each day
This refractory ecosystem
Light given and taken of need
They rely to survive
One and the other, for both to be
So seek out the peddler
You now see how the sunshine is free
So keep your money in your pocket
This one’s on me. | |

Posted: 9/30/2009 6:40:43 AM | ahh...i needed a little sunshine!!
thank you evo for your post...
the hardest night
created by me
thinking of what is
and what will not be
wondering why i
was swept by a dream
looking for fantasy
to fall upon me
but i have awaken
for this sordid nightmare
and into the light
i walk without care
giving thanks for all
i am this day
whispers of gratitude
as i sit and pray
feeling the breeze
brush my cheek
i am able to hear
i am able to speak
it begins with this breath
and the one that follows
how simple it is
if i only allow
back to this moment
this brief second in time
the world is wonderful
this world is mine | |

Posted: 9/30/2009 6:10:20 PM | am sitting at the l.a. airport waiting for my connecting flight...spent a week in az...experienced the grand canyon (for the first time!!)...beyond words...
her breadth
expands millenniums
grasping my soul
in silence
majectic grace
envelopes my being
leaving me
breathless at her beauty
time floats
as she seizes my senses
lifting me higher
into the unknown
where i silently surrender
completely | |

Posted: 10/3/2009 5:54:49 AM | sweet smell of autumn
reminds me of a time
when i was young
walking to school
rustling of dry leaves
excitement filled the air
without a care
a time of innocents
simply being me
full of wonder
naive
bring me home

"Gaze upon her and find a peace within.
View her from the tops of mountains
and undersea gardens.
She is that feeling
when all stress, fear
and drives for hunger
and achievement leave you.
For that moment,
a crystal perfect moment
you have found her.
She is Serenity."

snowy egret glides
strong wings
aloft on the wind
graceful bird
so white
moonlight
reflection
water's surface
San Francisco Bay
suenos
tall redwood trees
shady groves
musky smell
damp forest
our eyelashes
our warm hands
our bare feet
our earth
beautiful bird
soft white feathers
graceful in flight
today has been lived
natural beautiful bird
full moon rises
we are at rest
how fortunate we are
Thank You | |

yea, that fits
and is good stuff
I have the
tendency to only
read the short stuff
if you can not
say it in 50 words
or less
then you
are stuggling to
say it. lol | |

Posted: 10/12/2009 9:04:19 PM | tribute to Jack D
true compassion
self forgiveness
spirit of fellowship
love and service
never close the door
practice love
and tolerance
of others
open my heart
reach out my my hand
I have paid my dues
I have the right to be happy
he brings smiles
we all laugh
we are in the moment
life is fun again
take the path
of happy destiny
where bluebirds ride gentle breezes
to cool treetops high above
the light illuminates our faces
we meet but miss him
our friend Jack
with a twinkle in his eye | |

Posted: 10/12/2009 10:15:18 PM | yes and no
true compassion requires both self
forgiveness and answers
that if you and i were to discuss
might mean a lesson abroad
where in time we hid among birch
saplings on the way to a desert
a place of abundant fish
and streams fed up with motion
and slender forms made of slate and jade
green and striped
no? | |
|
| reflection of past year into the future...
Posted: 10/12/2009 10:33:57 PM | Yes.
Coloured stripe
Green those ripe
Abundant
Hungering, thirsting..
As the Sapling
So the tree
Acer Acerpori
A desert.
Streams fed
Desert led
Green
Striped.
Respect,
TBK | |

Posted: 10/13/2009 8:38:47 PM | gentlemen...thank you sooo much for your words...you feed my soul!!
sweet dreams...
tonight
my friend's dad
silently passed
from this world
in a blessed state
of love
i have learned much
from him
not ever meeting him
but thru the love
of his son
i am honored
to know
such beauty
so tonight
when a bright new angel
smiles down upon tom
i know there is love
i am blessed
to have him
touch my life
forever | |

Posted: 10/14/2009 2:47:36 AM | i wake again
in the wee hours
of morning
thinking of everything
thinking of nothing
sounds of facet dripping
takes me back
a million years
as a child
snuggled in my bed
listening to the storm
and the facet
dripping
dripping
dripping | |
