Going
Where are we going?
Nowhere and everywhere
Just here
It’s all here
The Spacious Moment
Expanding, transcendent joy
Ever existing, ever conscious, ever new joy
Relaxing peripheral resistance
Release into the heart of assurance
The eye of the storm sees clearly
And feels peace
Ever here, ever now, ever new, ever more
Ever going
That’s where we’re going
Within
I am within
The periphery is ever changing
I am constant within
Each breath is a life completed
And a life renewed
I am steady within
The life that sings the bird
That greens the grass
That fills the tree
Is the life that breathes this body
Awareness sparks, awareness sleeps
I am eternal within
I am within
Footsteps
Another day in paradise
Another walk in freedom
Dressed warmly for the dawn
Cold air is brisk upon my face
Inhaling new vitality
Exhaling mists of steam
A silence marked by footsteps
On the magic road
After the Rain
After the rain
A yellow orb* in brilliant blue
Conjures a mist to rise
From the bending grass
Who glistens with morning dew
After the rain
The winter moss is dayglow on the Oaks
After the rain
It seems the moss is moving across the branches
As I watch
This day is alive… alive!
After the rain
Mist in the canyon
Hovers in silence
After the rain
Rising and disappearing
in the heavens
This day is alive
A slowly moving wave of vibrant color
The day is alive!
After the rain
Rising and disappearing
in the heavens
Mist
The rising mist
Reveals the majestic drama of the river canyon
And while the revealing of the canyon is glorious
The mist itself is compelling beauty
A rising uplifted spirit returning to the heavens
From this vantage
the canyon is but a back drop
for this diamond mist-ic ascension
I feel the buzz
A rush of shimmering, expanding gratitude
As if in answer
The mist suddenly returns
Consuming the view’s entirety
And with a laugh
Recedes again in uprising glory
Repetition
Yes… I repeat myself
The same words, like old friends
Returning to new moments
Yes… I repeat myself
The same words, like sculpting tools
Chiseling ever deeper to new understanding
At early light
I walk the same magic road
Across mornings, seasons, years
Each walk the same
Each walk unique
Yes… I repeat myself
Spiraling ever deeper
Ascending to new heights
Expanding in all directions
Here, in the One Spacious Moment
I thank the One
I love the One
I am the One
Yes… I repeat myself
Composing
I am composing
Composing myself
Tuning into the melody
Expanding the harmony
Feeling the rhythms
Flowing through the tempos
Allowing inner guidance
Trusting inspiration
Receiving new direction
Knowing the connection
I am composing… myself
Awareness
I turn my head
Another year flies by
I take a breath
And seasons come and go
It’s all an ever changing story
Within the heart of hearts
I am the same
These days
I’m just not interested
In the interpretations of others
It’s coming to me clearly now
From the inside out
I focus on the spaces in my mind
And feel revelation in my heart
These feelings bubble up into the mind
With poetry that bridges thought and feeling
I am a conduit for the expansion of awareness
And in that knowing
I am one with life itself
Heart Sparks
What sparks the heart?
Recognition, attraction, bubbling joy
What sparks the heart?
Inspiration, appreciation, desire, connection
The heart finds in the other
The joyful spark of Self
A beacon of beauty
In a moment of poetry
Where fantasy and reality
Are one
Stories
All stories aside
I feel so much love for you
I breathe it in, I let it go
All that I am
Is filled with a love for this life
For this window onto the world
For this time and space
For this home and place
All stories aside
I feel so much love for you
So much love…
Through all the letting go… letting go
I feel so much love for you
That’s all I know… that’s all I know
Valentine’s Day
To be in love
Is to be in the heart of god
To see through the eyes of love
Is to see with the vision of god
To feel the flood of true love
Is to received the unbridled love of god
To send out the authentic love of the heart
Is to experience the endless love of god
God’s eternal love
Discovered in the conscious moment
Where it always is
This ecstasy fills my being
As I kneel to collect the garbage
Unconsciously strewn on this magic road
My joy is undiminished
In fact, I am honored to be custodian
of this sacred place and time
that day after day
is sparking my awakening
with myriad messages and insights
to be in love
is to know the heart of life herself
happy Valentine’s day
Banquet
Life is a banquet
I partake of what appeals
What is nourishing and fulfilling
Life is a banquet
And not everything is appealing or nourishing
With my discernment
I simply pass these by
Life is a banquet
Though at times the abundance is elusive
With my inner senses
I find my way back to the table of infinite choice
Yes… Life is a banquet
And with a place full of choices
I find a place
With like minded souls or in nature
To revel in gratitude
For the life-giving gifts before me
Seclusion
In seclusion
The stories disappear
In isolation
The memories fade
How much of who I am
Has been defined by my relationships with others?
As they recede
I seem to disappear as well
What remains is the relationship within
What expands is the relationship within
I deepen and relax into within
Will it spark this worldly life anew?
Only time will tell
Only Spirit knows
I entwine the inner angel
A Gallery of Angels Within
Eternity becoming
A gallery of angels within
The home of homes
We are prodigal by design
Gone to see what we may find
Always sending and receiving
Through our joys and through our grieving
Our deepest heart somehow believing…
A gallery of angels within
The home of homes
Inner angels celebrating
Both our blindness and our seeing
All awareness is expanding
Inner angels are rejoicing
Eternity becoming
A gallery of angels within
The home of homes
Eternity becoming
Service
In service to the Princess
My compass, my purpose, my joy
In service to the Princess
That’s where I live
And she lives in service to me
Imagine that!
A microcosm of Divine Love
A facet of the Infinite Diamond Love
A piece that is the whole
In the hologram of love
An emanation undiluted
From the very heart of love
I am in service to the Princess
She is in service to me
In our service to each other
We are in perfect service to ourselves
