Bliss
Bliss
You are unending
You make me smile
and serenade you
I am a feather;
if I don’t breathe out
I will lift up
elevate
You are the light
that turns on
when the mind
turns off
You are the gift
that keeps on
giving
but doesn’t give up
You are the laughter
that
softens the
colors of time
You are everything
And you are nothing

lucky core
big inside you
flannel & gold
a weave that is true
lucky bird
inside that cage
seasons have passed
and so we age
Bad people and me in life, death, and rebirth.

Space and Spots
Space and Spots. For you just dots. But please let me play.
Space and Spots. To you just plots. But please let me stay.
Space and Spots. In you it rots. I can’t just walk away.
Space and Spots. Perhaps like knots. Can unravel it you say?
Space and Spots. It in no way nots. You are here another day.
Space and Spots. With your pans and pots. May we feast without delay.
What Moves Us All to Dream
What moves us all to dream,
to think, to love, to act,
to give it up for some great cause
or double back to pause before our plans
of having more or getting there
or going to the country fair
is the same for everyone:
the sage, the fool, the king,
the self-appointed ministers of fun.
Einstein said it best, I think,
or maybe it was Rumi,
both of whom were missing links
from this to that, from here to there,
mystics of the unseen arts,
demystifying what it is that moves the air
and the human heart.
Still I wonder what it is I thirst for in my bones,
what will be enough to feel.
Is it what I see with these two eyes
or what I know beyond them both
is always just a bit concealed –
that which seizes me from deep within,
the mirror of my soul, my other half, my perfect twin,
the one who knows, but doesn’t tell
or if he does, it’s just enough
to dig my tunnel deeper to the well
where all the seekers that I am have come to drink,
long before the first parable was told.

In the Garment you Weave
Have been tangled in my Heart
Since the Begining of Time
Their color is Deep and Rich and Sincere;
Their intention is Good, Their disposition,
Fair and Gentle.
