Poetry and Prose

The Desert-

I see you
Again and again
All ways new
Jagged edges
Rocks
Craters
Rounding in curves
As the body feminine
Movement of dunes
Soft and supple
Against arid earth
Sharp and pronounced
Proclaiming presence
The perfect blending
Shape reflecting
Of the cosmic union
Mah and Jah merging

The sea lies at your feet
Beholding
Ancient essence of dust
Stillness Molding

Shangri La-
It’s making us vote
This pain that we stoke
Desire means choice
Act or be Rote
Present-ing without Presiding
Foresaking what the heart is desiring
Though Igniting
This denying
Is choking the flame from rising
Comfort
Is force that is hiding
Dying through Lying
As an act of what you don’t say
And it’s just another day longer
Before you breath in the warmth
Of love's fire

Holding the rope tight we can walk on it
Tension allows for balance
We fall to rise up again

Pain is temporal
Numb is immoral
Limitation and Habituation
Are Finite and of the minds pictorial
In anything We do
In anything We say
In any way we feel
Be in All
In Full
In Awe
In Heart
Let this beauty
Be our inspiration
For total dedication
With no deliberation
To the One

The ocean brings gifts
of magic stars
in twilight Sand
Direct in hand
