Where there's a will

If I knew for sure
Would I concur
In the erosion
Of my will
I think not
But as it is
And not being sure
Only suspecting
I dismiss resisting you
Luxuriate
Give in
Submit
Get lost
In your concept
Of the world

Dreaming again

It was a dream and I know it
You were all warmth and gold
All the colours of Sunshine
You at the centre of a world
Like no other
You old as time itself
But nimble like the Spring
And your music
Making a still point
Where none was before

Grandfather

Grandfather on the plains
Looks to an orange sky
Raising his eyes from Mother Earth
Dreaming with Father Sky
Clarity in the ancient mind
Resolution
Resolution and fulfillment
Peace – Sky and Earth together
Passing beyond time and space
“We are here” sing the rocks
“We are here” hum the distant mountains
All are one in meditation.

Rainbows

Rainbows
Rainbows and colours
You are all rainbows
You are all colours
Created from pure white light
Moonbeams and sunbeams
Direct and refracted light
All the pieces of the rainbow
And dancing with life itself
You are all colour
You are all sound
Vibrating
Oscillating
And flowing with the rhythm of life

Water dreams

Rain Forest Pool


Let us be close to still water
Deep in the forest
With filtered light
Falling through tall trees
Let us watch tiny flying things
Dancing to the music of the leaves

Oh come with me
To the quiet peace of that place
Sit with me on mossy rocks
Our feet cooling in the green water
Tell me your stories of content
In a sleepy afternoon

Let us saunter down water lanes
To lost places
With the smell of salty earth to guide us
And daises and marguerites
Nodding our way
Come to the pure, cool spring
And wash your tired eyes

For the Healing

Two "blocks" of wood crossed over on...
  
In the darkness
Drums are beating
Telling of a ancient wrong
Do you hear them
Oh my Sister?
Can you sing
Old sorrow's song?
Did your Mother
Tell the story
As you sat beside her hearth?
Did your Father
Tell your Brother
As they trod the forest path?
Song of sorrow
Song of history
Like a birthmark on the skin
Only love can heal the wound now!
Only love forgive the sin
Love sung out
By hearth,
In forest
Let the heart song
Now begin

Waiting for trains

Description: F Train, Manhattan-bound, 17 May ...
Watching
But not seeing each other
The careful avoidance of the eyes
Distance achieved by awareness
That is not recognition
I know who you are
And sometimes
You wonder about me
But we don't speak
Knowing that would be
An intimacy too far
An exposure
Almost like peeling off a skin
But I look for you among the commuters
And I miss you when you aren't there
