Silence and Stillness

trust silence
with the world
trust stillness
with your self
Endow them both
your perfect faith
and begin to know

Strength
Mic Mar 2016
Strength
Is not
Keeping your head
Above the waves
It is sitting calmly
opposite
an advancing typhoon
Perfectly unstirred,
And perfectly unimpressed
By nothingness

Strength
Is not
Overcoming
But remembering
Your immeasurable
Greatness

It is surrendering
Yourself
To the pull
Of the seabed
And laughing
At the notion
Of death

If doubt would keep you hostage
Look into my eyes

Our meeting was nothing more
Than a quiet return of a memory
a gentle waking
to love's eternal melody

Fears
Mic Apr 2016
Whatever fear troubles you
only imagine
it has happened
You will have nothing left
but your Godhood
You will be hurled back
to the center
of the circle
And most of all
you will remember
your priorities

My chains are loosened
The prison door is open
Nothing holds me in this world
Only my wish to stay
keep me prisoner

Achoo! Bubbles in the sea.

Laughter is release
Mic Mar 2016
Tension is the result of holding on to the insubstantial.
It's unnatural
It takes effort.
You ask for an effortless life,
then laugh,
for laughter is release
Relax
Be grateful for what you don't have to keep

When you see sin
Look again
If you still see it
Look again
Keep blinking until you no longer see it
this is the way of the Mystic
At the end of this way is the Promise

Gasp!
An honest expression of disbelief
As you were about to pump
conditioner
Onto your lavender loofah mittens
Never recognizing
your common way of doing things

Peace is not taken
Mic Mar 2016
Peace is not taken
It is given in its entirety,
offered up readily
to that arrogant pretentious *******
who deserves to die an early merciless death

monsters
Mic Mar 2016
Brother,
Let this be a consolation
That there is no Great Battle
no Mighty Beast
to defeat
no bloodied soldier
to be redeemed
--only pitch darkness
where hideous dragons
seem to dance in circles
around you

Open your eyes
Again and again they call out
"Look at me!"
Like a child
needing your love

Your thoughts can only echo
their mad howling
With no end
-abandon them
for the original fear:
To see the altar within
Defiled

Open your eyes
This is the only step
that needs courage

Watch and release
Watch and release
Until peace is restored
And pain ceases

Light never remembers darkness
And all the monsters
You have made
To fill it

Comforter's Song
Mic Mar 2016
After the long meaningless hysterics
And lengthy broodings on the historics
What once fought for its life now yields with less bitterness
What once thought it was on its own, now asks for help

So, on the river bank she sits, eyes closed
Shaking terribly, for love, for thorns
Indeed, a hundred thousand thorns she carries
Thank God, indeed, for the Comforter's Song

Whatever trembles in fear
Surrender them to me
The holy bath of the eternal is fire
And out of my gentle fire is your light freed


Your vision as yet is faint and weak
So hold my hand, and ask me for the way
I can never tire of you, and I can never tire of your asking


Your feet are weary from your long pointless travels
So let me carry you, and together we'll extend miracles
And leap through space and time


Your heart is in pain from the thorns you keep
Let me take your precious thorns
So you may see light dancing all around you
As I do


Whatever trembles in fear
Leave not one unsurrendered
You need them not
And love you truly need.


**Never will I leave you;
Never will I forsake you.
Lines in bold are from Heb 13:5.

Remember
Mic Mar 2016
In bitterness, you forget joy
And look upon your life
Like it was always so
In the briefest of joys, you laugh
And skip, and dance alone
Like you never left heaven
Like Love never left you
For a moment

Everything I need

Food with everything
Mic Mar 2016
You prepare food to read a book
Food to go to work
Food to study
To watch a movie, to know somebody
Close it, keep the jaws still
Your mind will follow suit
And you'll have the world to boot

A multitude of you
Mic Mar 2016
"What do you see in me?" she asked
An ever-changing woman
Never the same one two days in a row
In the same morning
Or within the same hour
A multitude of you
Not one ever failed to make me laugh
Not one I'm ever unwilling to love

Sleeping lover
Mic Mar 2016
To think of God is
To think of nothing at all
Aren't thoughts suspended
In watching your lover sleep?
It is no different.
