This simple sauce: twelve blueberries,
water, vanilla (no, I'm not going to tell  
all my secrets!) was everything I have
learned about celebrating frugality.

A red-headed woman, my young mother,
shining elegantly at a cocktail party
in a dress made by her
own delicately beautiful,
strong hands.

One three dollar silk remnant,
purchased in a little shop full of
cardboard boxes, each bursting,
to overflowing with fabric, and
texture, and color, high up on
Upper Broadway, in 1961.
Some confluence here of my life as a personal chef, and of my core life as a poet, and as a teacher of Transcendental Meditation.

Easy-going energy moguls at Exxon Mobil,
Insidiously sip scotch in their ivory towers,
They take no blame for the blame is ours,
We, the worker bees, were employed to **** the soil,
Little did we know it was the hallowed ground under our very own families feet,
Now we look towards our homes and see nothing but ash and hell fire,
Our collective youth and countless hours of precious life,
Traded for false abundance and counterfeit wealth,
When it all burns will you still care about your bank account?

It’s a fire
You and I
It’s a word
We testified.

We grew larger
It’s a flame
Every singing crackle
It calls your name.

We have heat
You and I
Have many colors
Trapped inside my eye.

It’s a dream
Yet so real
Can we deny?
Should we feel?

It’s a fire
You and I
Such a flame
Grew so high.

It’s a fire
Me and you
Such abundance
Where fire stood blue.
I am yours
All I owe to you
Humble you came
Glorious you ascended
Righteous you will return
This I know
For your love is the current in my veins
Inspired by the Psalmist

I can feel in my heart a supernova
A reason to change
Finding all my answers
Finding new curiosity
Big dreams
And a burning desire to achieve what I will always believe in
My Emotions are powerful
Balance is nessessary and
Constant awareness is the key to growth
Exploring the world is my greatest achievement
I thrive with excitement knowing the best days of my life has yet to happen
My heart is full of hope joy and abundance

Pond lilies basking,
Misty buds of sleepy rain,
  .  .  .  Water envelopes.
Lynn Greyling Dec 2014
Purple sheets of petal,
Softly glowing in the dark
Of almost night.

Softly touching my cheek,
the enveloping cloud
surrounds me like a neon cloak.

I can see your face
reflecting in an overflowing
purple pool of mist.

And petals gently plopping,
enveloping the image
of your loveliness.

(Jacaranda madness)

If I let go, as I have done
Then here is where begins the fun
Does God play dice?
If he does he does
If he doesn't he doesn't
The Way he does is instantaneous
No fear
Love in abundance

Don't you take
another step

leave your trivial problems at the door

(if only momentarily)

This world....when you really put all
mundane human quandaries aside

is a place of wonder, magnificence and
second to none

I love this place
