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

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

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

Time crucifies sight
Soften your gaze
See the fully blossomed flower
In the slumbering rosebud
And love her as so

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

Discipline
has absolutely nothing to do with you
And everything to do with your tiny lords

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

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

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

Chosen more and more
Silence fills the ears and becomes
sort of louder than your thoughts
