Stuck In Up

Jan. 22 2015

I still get stuck in
The paradigm where up is up.
That exacted upon notion
Of confident navigation
Using the stars or planetary guides or the laws of Attraction.
And of course when I am down I could bother to look
up and see where I could be instead.
Of course.
That's seems to be true.
Yet where does 'up' look for a lift?
And what is the cause of down?

Tell me it Isn't So

Tell me it isn't so 
And I will cease. 
That each time 
The anger arises, 
It's lost to Liberating itself 
Before you had a chance 
To even grasp it.

When the Hand Reaches Out

December 18, 2014

When the hand reaches out,

Whether to say hello, or

Slap your face "wake up!"

Curse you

Heal 

Explore

Protect you

Push

Inspect you

Hush

Reject you

When the hand reaches out 

To the open water of your heart,

How will you perceive its touch? 

In All These Appearances

December 15, 2014

In all these appearances;

The flotsam and jetsam of 

Happening and happenstance is neither here nor there. 

You've Always Known

December 9, 2014

You've always known 

How this would go. 

There's never been a time when 

It was different. 

Listen, when I say you,

Know I mean I am

From here to there 

Beginning to now

No death and all over again 

Read all the way to indigo, you'll see,

The seasons never change 

There has never been another winter 

Another green or another blue. 

And colors never fade to black 

Or return. 

And you've always known 

That rainbows never end. 

Underwater Sentiments

I Tried to Give

December 12, 2014

Are you still wondering about the shadows beneath the surface?

When you close your eyes in quiet, 

just before the chattering stops, before the drifting, 

past the sifting,

Is it here you wonder?

"What is that slipping towards me?

Should I be afraid?"

I Wonder

December 22, 2014

I wonder sometimes,
Is it the center I am moving towards,
Or the center I'm freeing myself from?

This Life is But a Dream

Stare Like Wonder

December 5, 2014

Stare like wonder isn't meant
Only for the child.
Like purpose isn't 
An innate need. 

Feelings Of...

It's Growing Cold

December 2, 2014

It's growing cold
Space returns, open and 
Unashamed.

Touching Upon the Dissolution of Solid

If All Was Lost

November 26, 2014

If all was lost, 
None would remain, 
not even the sunken weight of history's tragic dreaming. 
Not even the weight of my hand, 
a frozen dent in natures slumber.

Infinity In the Distance

The first puddle poem

October 27, 2014

Tell me once more...

Tell me again,

How this building upwards

Doesn't always end in 

A tumbling down. 

Tell me again, and I will 

Cease and desist. 

Tell me once more,

I promise to heed to the

Liminal words,

Watery sentiment,

And not quite there 

Wisdom.
