Sunset
As the Sun sets Painting A portrait Of conscious Connection My mind reels And feels warm Grounded In intention… My attention spans Wide across the Sky As colors hover In cumulus silhouette— A moment beset By this beautiful sunset… This departure From distracted actions Of my mind’s machinations, My fascinations Fading In a rise and…

Gratitude Text 04/25/2024
Good morning. Today I’m grateful to listen to and hear the rain, to see the trees and leaves sway in the breeze, and to watch water like thoughts flow by as bubbles popping like troubles that don’t exist.

Shades of Nature
Walking westward Along a path Strewn with shades Of Nature I find the rhythm Of my heart Beating With heaviness And joy… Curiosity Do I employ As it calls me to Capture Contrasting Colors Light And Love… One Way Above The blue hue Generously lit To expand Upon a cathedral’s Countenance… Pink, green, and blue…

Condensing
Through fog-lined trees Nestled in A misty embrace I find my pace Face to face With the belonging Beloved… Wholehearted Words Attempt to transcribe An ineffable experience Like flocking birds’ Flight to Sky… Alighting upon A branch Of immense Jubilation Tears Muffle My expression Of the Wholly Divine… Maybe this journey Is intentional In its…

Time Change
It’s a time change A rearrange From a history Of misery… Springing Forward Northward Toward A New Moon— The immediacy Of Now With an intention Of how I’ve learned To love this place Of how I’ve learned To love to face All of the shadows Of inadequacy And let them go In the hallows Of…

Alone
The loneliness Tears at my insides Derides me Chides me For feeling Incomplete. This is the message The rite of passage That of myself I am nothing… All of my wants My worries Scurry in the dark Of a made-up land A made-up plan That separates Me as a me I as an I The…

A Weathered Eye
Weathering the storm Of my human affliction Reasonable needs Mixed with addiction I find my eye Fixed on the Sky Of many happy returns… Has mindfulness Made me resilient To the moments Where I fall from Grace? Where sea salt I taste As down my face Tears I trace Leaving a glistening Trail to my…

Dripping
Dripping As time is slipping Slowing The Flowing To a soft rhythm Accented By grey and blue… The moments Stretch Into an unending Pattern Where raindrops Splatter And everything matters… The condensation Catches my Attention As rain gutters Overflow… The sensation Of Silence Amidst The drips In a symphony Of solitude Whets my Senses And…

The Path
I’ve heard One meditates So he’ll notice The purple flowers Along the path… The trees The bees The wants The needs The rain The pain The pause Refrain… Tomorrow’s Test Of my surrender Comes before I open the door Of much Anticipation… I bare my throat In vulnerability To trust the steady Surgeon’s hands Reaching…

While
While there’s Yet time To take in Each Sacred Moment To be The experience Of my heart Opening Closing Shown To me as I slept As I dreamt As I wept To feel it all… A kaleidoscope Calling me To pay attention To cash in My only currency— Time slipping Drifting and dripping Tripping My…

Waning
In conjunction With a waning moon Venus rises Reflecting My attention— Nearing my Intention To be at peace With what is… Yet as the Mourning glow Of a former self Shines Of my frailty, Confidence Ebbs and flows As I try on My renewed skin… My imbued sin Of miraculously Being human Evolved To this…

Mind Seeds
Mushroom eating Monkey brains Evolved And remain At the top Of the food chain— Unchained Untrained Except In the art Of hate And disdain. An insane Refrain Playing In the light Of a new moon’s Wane Speeding Nowhere To be first… This thirst Rehearsed As compassion Reversed… Damn the sin Of love Conversed! Darkness Spreads…

Flooded
Flooded I find I’ve lost my mind Traversing Through Reflected trees… Brought to my knees I’ve wondered Where does the water go? Does it soak Into roots Thirsting For nourishment— Encouragement To persevere In the sphere? Does the atmosphere Of filtered Light Enlighten An opened mind As the Flow Of consciousness And consequences Touch A…

Waves
Watching The waves Of consciousness Wash by I had a moment Where I was The Ocean… More than A moment, really For time stretched Into a stillness Where I was… I saw… I felt… The infinite Enormity Beyond Pain Or comprehension… I saw and felt My fellow sufferers Resisting Their waves And wanted For them…
