A vision of the Vision—beyond the veil it rose,
A spectacle of wonders the soul alone knows.

No eye could trace it, no tongue could declare,
What shimmered in silence, suspended in air.

It came like a whisper, yet struck like a flame,
Not seen by the many, not known by a name.

The stars held their breath, the heavens stood still,
As love broke the borders of shadow and will.

I sought with my seeing, but found with the heart,
Where absence and presence are not kept apart.

It was not a colour, a sound, or a face—
It was every nowhere, it filled every place.

And I, but a vessel of clay and of thirst,
Drank deep from the well where the boundless burst.

No scholar could bind it, no poet compose,
The mystery that only the soul ever knows.

A vision of the Vision—no ending, no start,
A glimpse of the Infinite etched in the heart.

O’moon, thou art no idle light in night’s domain,
But wisdom clothed in silence, soft and plain.
Thy cheerful face — a mirror to the skies,
Where heaven’s thought in silver quiet lies.

Thou speak’st no word, yet all the world attends,
For in thy gaze, the speech of truth descends.
A messenger without a voice or scroll,
Yet every beam thou castest stirs the soul.

Thou art the smile of God upon the deep,
A dream divine that wakes while mortals sleep.
No poet’s pen could hold the whole of thee —
Thou art the verse the heart was born to see.

O’ cheerful faced, whose beauty breathes like prayer,
Conversing thus with grace beyond compare.
Not made alone for eyes that seek delight,
But sent to guide the inward-seeking sight.

Thy stillness is not silence — it is thought,
A presence shaped by all that time has taught.
The night bows low before thy sacred glance,
As oceans rise beneath thy silent dance.

Thou teachest man to rise beyond the dust,
To seek within the self — to strive, to trust.
For in thy light is written — calm, yet sure —
That what is fleeting cannot be called pure.

What voice is thine that needs no sound to speak?
What strength is thine that dwells within the meek?
Thou smilest once, and empires seem but small;
Thy wink — a whisper from the Lord of All.

Thy path is drawn by none, yet none may stray,
From thy soft pull, which leads both night and day.
The stars themselves attend thy quiet will —
And in thy glow, the restless heart grows still.

O’ gentle orb, thou art the soul’s reply,
To questions cast upon the silent sky.
O’ cheerful faced, conversing like sweetest poetry you are —
A spark of truth, a whisper from afar.

As I watch bubbles trickle
from the flow of this stream,
I see them become
formless in their dissipation
and take it as an answer
from the world that
we are imbued
in a chaotic formation:
showing that all is in flux,
all is fickle
and it opens me up
to the openness of love

I am not here to question
the reflex of my thoughts,
I am merely a child of the earth,
learning how to break through
endless resistance
to cycles that can’t be bought
because nature is
a wild mistress;
her message is everything
and nothing, without regret

She bears the fruit and the pain
so I’ll give up on control
and instead believe
that every instance
is right on time
and the sufferance
is only in my mind

I have no hold
over anyone or anything
except the adaptability
to look within and find presence,
and only when it remains
will I be set free
from desires that threaten
a humble existence

Dissolving in Ecstasy  

I take leave
                                                
facing Awareness alert
                                    
showing flowery way Homewards    
                                                    
diffuse rainbows riding fast

           a whispering shoreline    

           blood becomes water    
                                        
           bones skin nails hair lips

           Spirit sailing soars

            I lived a full life of laughter

           all praise to God’s Great Love

           weep not for me

           now or evermore !

If one of these stones
Were to give way
What keeps us silent
It would open up, like a wound
In which you have to submerge

Sand
You demand in return
For the last rose
Back at home
This evening also wants to be fed

In the name of the first of the three
Who cried out

Politics are the spirit-ual sphere of the modern human
Forever chasing that sense of peace and elation
The golden thing
What can contain
All our rage and devotion

Surrounded by this infinity
Revealing the overwhelming, eternal vitality of the universe, the dark, surrounding audience
Was swallowing the whole of reality
At an impossible rate of speed

Improvisational, suddenly, the silence
The precursor to everything

I realized I had been nothing
Perhaps out of dullness or education
Loosened thoughts and words
Left on leaves somewhere

Fear accompanied by desires
A sky still
Free today
Yesterday missing

Diversity protects the species / we all have flaws
This life lies open
The claim of a goal,
Inanimate and pretensive

Love opens the prison
Now that I am nothing
Stars rushing into us
Luminesce softly at every moment

I am sovereign in my presence,
a visionary walking my divine path.
Resilient in my spirit, an illuminator for the world’s stage.
My light cannot be dimmed or broken,
nor my purpose denied.
I rise above & beyond the limitations,
creating new paths of abundance.
My success is my birth right,
I will leave a lasting legacy guiding others with wisdom & power beyond this physical plane.

Are we here to believe?
Or do we live to
grasp for comic relief?
There is no telling
what’s right or what’s true
only feelings that we attempt
to hold onto
when they’re in a constellation,
fleeting over the moon

Like shooting stars
with no true destination,
holding a well of wishes
that we make in desperation
with hope things will be different
as their light reflects
over the edge of an ocean
crashing and moving
as our wish turns into a notion
burning out in the sun
before it’s even begun
and we dive in

Because all we can do
is love and embrace
the hits of the waves
pulling us into a rave
of drowning, only to devour
and gasp oxygen
back into our lungs
as we hit the shore
begging for that star
to give what we already have;
the natural peace exuding
in our empty parts,
and nothing more
