The rhythmic, pounding
Pulse
Pulls out of me

What years of
Pushing
Never could

I have become undone
In another world

Birthed into being

By sound

Begin Again

Begin again
In the spiral of nothingness
To gravitate
To grieve
To gratify the immortals
To be guided towards greatness by the whisper of the wind
To wallow thoroughly in your humanness
To dig your knees deep into the ground


Begin again
At the altar or pew
In dark, the dusk, the candlelight will do


Begin again
To feel the ground beneath your feet
To smell the sea in the air
To see your breath through the tears
To remember that once again
To begin again
You must sense the timing and the meaning


We stumble onto our knees
Desperate to be released from our own stubbornness
Our pride – the last ditch effort to outdo the universe
Thinking only we can provide control and collide


The ground is hard and comforting
A railing – perhaps a tree or a bed – holds us up
Through the night we ache
To be nature – natural again
To feel with our senses the sensual pattern of nature
The ebb and flow of knowingness – willingness
To turn with the tide instead of against it


To breathe in the air instead of trying to keep it out of our lungs
To escape into the dark – to find meaning here in the silence and
Imagery of the soul



Earth longing for herself within the willing spirit of a mortal

Before Eating Lunch

before eating lunch

as the end draws near
she feels relief
that finally what she thought
was true, buried beneath
waves and piles of ‘woe is me’

there is a girl

who still has her feet in the ocean
looking up at hidden stars
in broad daylight
arms outstretched
embracing her immortality
amid strangers on a coastline
before eating lunch
one day in late July

she held onto that
connection
the knowing
through years of storms
and currents that pushed and
pulled on the milky threads
trying to untangle her from
all the greatness and guidance
flowing through her spirit

she opens her eyes and sees once again
the great ships waiting in the horizon
the colorful pebbles beneath her feet
birds circling with wisdom
light surrounding her
lifting the sand from her eyes

revealing her Delighted Essence

just in time

Yearn for Yourself

A mind struggling to find logic
The SPIRIT saying
Let It Be
The body caught between
Emoting thought and wholeness
Beneath the appearance of separate

All reflect and are each other
No thought is alone

We are not alone with our thoughts
They come to One from the Many
It is our desire to stand out
Above
Beyond the crowd that
separates us
From ourselves
Denies our true nature
As one uni
verse

a song of ONE for ONE
one song is all there is
is all we are
need
be

you and I are not different
we belong

Yearn for yourself
Sing to the moon
Be warmed by the sun
Ease into the chorus
Embrace the melody

We are one
