Crinkled

Retaining my boundaries
Finding myself while I am being trampled
By each lie you have told.
Am I breathing?

Yes, indeed, I am. Is this real?

Yes, indeed it is.

Life is continuing, even though my soul is left behind.
Onto each note of the longing song I hold

Your lips have gone astray.
Come home.

Everything

is

radically

changing

in
my
field
of
vision.

The openness

Being just me

And not me and somebody.

This must be part

Of our journey

Veins and Hearteries

We are so much deeper

We know so much more

Our blood flows like the river

Outside of our front door

The feeling of the morning

The dew cast on the leaf

The wind flows past my body

Like the soft kind words you leak

Presence Presents Presents

Laughter debrides what no longer serves me
So that I can be free
To now be what I'll be

Laughter removes the mask from my face
In a solid embrace
I see truth
In your grace

There is nothing I can't stretch myself
Just a little more to get
And every challenge I have welcomed;
Every challenge that I've met

It feels good to breathe
Knowing adventure's not far

I don't know where you are
But we are made of just stars

And to find us I'll go
Where I, too, may find scars

I let go of the steering
The rules and the race
And just be who I'll be
Not a moment is waste

Instead knowing so firmly
I am where I should be
Because now I sit fully in each place that I see

And now I know what I desire is ME

And that the beauty of present is
my change

Constantly

And that all that I want

Is already conceived.

And here we are.

Outlets

Where sparks fly

"I don't see how this could work".

Though alone I'd rather be

I push myself 

To the end of what I could

Would I rather be there, would I?

Or could I rather say I should?

I have no idea what is happening now.

But I do know your familiar gaze of love

That you've always offered me

And that is to which I hold on.

Peace is everywhere

As the birds succinctly sing
As if calling out to me

Bobbing heads with every beat

This is the drumbeat

Of my life

Although we appear as three

These two little birds

And me

Of One essence we all breathe

From One space we're born and leave

And One song from our mouths released

A New One

On solemn stones
Near ivory gates
The night near ends
The dawn awaits

The crisp and new
First breath I take
Sustains me
Until you awake

Not knowing
If you're passing through
Makes me concerned
If that it's you

But now I wonder
If it's true
Perhaps the truth was spoken then
But what does it mean now, my friend?

The tears fall
As the rain drops
As the time slips
As my soul drips
Into yours
Truth awakens
my love

Recollections

I'd like the fairer stars to gaze
in favor on our younger days

From blazing sun
To sweet, clear haze

And on our past
We look amazed

Ah, yes, son...those were the days

All that we are

I sit here
Realizing we are composed of only That
which is patient, kind, and at Its core

Love

No judgment, knowing that all things happen in due time

Whatever time may be

The Answer

As our organs fail
And our bodies align
with the Truth of our being;
The time-proofed Divine

And that time is just nothing
But construct of a mind
And the way we now live
Is through just to be kind

In a differing world
On a similar plane
Lies our story renewed
And a new dream obtained

Bear witness to your strength

To hem and haw
To break the mold

To go to where
You shouldn't go

The brave a new day
Bless the old

And right here
Know
Just what's untold
