god i am
I spoke the following poetry to the sweet guitar of my friend Marie Christ at the Just Us! cafe on March 1, 2007:
Rainbow Waves
vibrant colours
soft, liquid textures,
flowing into each other,
rainbow waves crashing on the shores of infinity;
through their simple flowing beauty I find peace, joy, love.
communion with the divine source;
microcosms of inspiration;
still images taken in the moment, in the now;
in me, through me;
of the ever-changing, infinite ocean
from which we all
spring and return
in endless,
glorious,
ever-evolving
cycles.
***
Hidden to egos
your love shines
beckoning the soul
up from its seat
to dance in glory...
Resting in infinity
here and now opens
to the child
who laughs
with wondrous delight...
Never to be alone
always to be at one
with endless love
through and of
the grace
of divine being...
***
Why did we, do we
expell ourselves
from Eden?
Was it, is it greed?
Is it, was it need?
Ego self-deceives
hiding Eden
behind a veil...
Divine hands
reach from deep within
to dispell
the illusion
that we ever left...
***
Cohesive Diversity
life is a big ball of yarn
infinitely large and small
and interconnected;
composed of infinite strings
of unique vibrational wave patterns
we weave our intentions
into this cosmic energy soup
love is all that matters
when nothing matters
and all matter is nothing.
***
Revolutionary Bum
sitting on my couch
speaking in conversational tribal rhythms
he spoke poetry
as only i could write
or hear
when i touch silence in my mind
he spoke of liberty
and my heart sang
as i typed
til the demon thoughts
spring into doubt and break the piece
he senses the change
"what's up?"
he says in that divine voice
"i'm sorry, dear friend,
i fret sometimes
when we seem to stagnate
and the bills pile up
amidst the day to day;
and then i look to you
and old worry sets in
about what we should be doing"
i say in that divine voice
"but write now,
we're here,
and we're gonna unite
in the telling
of to be"
his honeyed words
sweeten the pot
and so the story begins
in the middle realm
as do all
all in all,
i do enjoy his presence
but sometimes i wondered
what would happen next...
***
Transmuting
caterpillar creeps and eats
and tries not to get eaten
before settling in
wrapping itself into itself
it disintegrates and reintegrates
its body into
divine grace
to live in utter beauty, light, freedom...
to soar, to spawn
and to fall
into the eternal loop
***
mistaken dewdrops
tears of night's regret become
morning's bright kisses
***
determined snail
glistening trail of words
precious shells of glass
***
blossoms releasing
sweet fragrance upon brisk winds
releasing blossoms
***
beings hovering
wings flicker in candlelight
being's light flickers
***
Blood of God flowing
Moon balancing harmony
One with GOD I AM
***
frayed heart-wiring freshly repaired
reconnecting...bonjour mes amis
hello my friends
revelling in one being
a scale in a vibrant rainbow butterfly wing
one's unique
position, colours, shape, shades...
cells within cells
flowing as one in flight
sharing light, nourishment, source
flowing with air
ageless ascent
timeless journey through space
together we rise
together I rise
I AM
***
Fae Fire
words whip round the silver ring
in upward spirals exhaled
with faery laughter
beneath misty visions
the fae folk dance
round sacred fires
they feed the flame
sacrifical trees meet
death's heat
transforming into flame
into the dance ever unique
rejoicing in their hearts
reflected in wisdom's eyes
nature's call to union
vision creation manifest
dance in the smoke
sublime inspiration
healing spiritual artistry
and wind we all
round the spiral staircase
into our hearts
***
Cabin Song
i go the deck of my grandmother's, my mother's and father's
comfy cabin built on love
embraced by sweetly scented forest
i draw deep healing air, loving life
i walk down the stairs
out upon the beach
i stir the old sand and leaves and gravel
in soft crunchy mix between my toes
i gaze out over the lake
a magic mirror
mist rising in the dawn's light
a bull frog 'jug-of-rum' ripples in harmony
with the peepers, the wind
whispers through the oak leaves to the birch and maple leaves
then dances waves across the changing surfaceof the lake, i walk
to the rock at the shore
always visible in the summer
until now
as the waters deepen
so i step onto the water
and walk out to the middle
and i diveup
into the sweet blue
dance flying spirals
round misty white low riders
i soar up and out in love
and i flydown
into the sweet red waters
to dance swimming spirals
into the darkness
and beyond
and the loon sings his desire
***
Riding the Wave Beneath the Surface
Rising on moonlit feet
She left her material
Body of evidence
Drifting past innocence
Into oceans awash
With angelfish
And many great schools
Being chased by
Sharks...
Adrift in shifting
Currents
Adrift but not forgotten
She becomes a dark ray
And glides
And flies
***
Textile Coccoon
underlying duress
marking, marring words predestined for
happier trails
fog of emotion
confusing reason,
teaching something more
refusing to be ignored
in its melding
into a cocoon of
words woven
until the season's
brightly coloured
fancy burst of flight
guided by the light
***
Yellow Waves
yellow terry lace tipped cuffs
frame my hands holding
fingers dancing
out exotic rhythms
on this interfacing organ
resolutionary illusions
drift by on ocean waves
ever moving forward
ever coalescing
smoothing beaches of
crystal balls
through which
i see you
***
i had many anxious dreams last night
thoughts, images related to
my worry about the state of world affairs,
my biggest parenting concerns,
and my struggle to cope with my day to day
all thoughts that arise frequently
and that I give limited time to,
stilling them with
*OM*
how to let go
without forgetting
how to let go
and still make decisions
how to relax
how to forgive, and move on,
and still hurt dreadfully
how to transmute your circumstances
your experience of being
into harmony
into balance
i embrace my humble boat
with gratitude
(though when it rains,
i sometimes grumble)
i weave the net
with lines of loving light
(though it's become holey
amidst impatient hunger)
i cast the net
and open myself to
the quiet of the wait
when i comtemplay,
slay demons,
and practice being
when i check my net
i select the healthiest fishiesthat i can recognize
from the variety that's wandered by
and i return the rest to the great ocean
and the thoughts are processed and transmuted
into this
***
Love
is there a word above corruption?
corruption
life eating life
it's natural
it's all in what
we recognize
as life
in how we react
to variations
coalesce into union
divine intervention
divine intravention
divine invention
are we all
***
love transcends judgement
letting oneself love may seem to require judgement
or at least, that may be a sensible approach,
however,
love is something far more than that,
and is most open
to not being held by one's fleeting fallible judgements
but compiles evidence while determining risk on an instinctive level
while compiling attachment and trust on a spiritual level
all balances
and is done naturally
when love and mercy
are the focus
and so we help
because
we love
and because
it makes sense to do so
and we are rewarded with joy
in its purest form
and a loving peace
that expands and fills and carries
and makes things easier
so that we can learn
and teach
and expand
***
Dedicated to the Homeless Network:
be aware
let yourself care
when it hurts
use the pain's energy
to be the change
don't turn away
just don't turn away
***
The Great Ash reaches
into Heaven above
and Hella below
up and down
the squirrel of time
comes rushing past
my leaf of existence
gathering nuts

why do tempests
hang out in teapots?
cereal reality
cerebral ingenuityawakening
to darkness unfolding
into light eternal
***
a pair 'o ducks
walks into the office of a
paradoc
the first asks:
"if God is love,then why do we suffer?"
and the paradoc says,
"pain tells you to move,
that change is needed
movement, change
generates life.
love gives us wings"
the second duck says,
"my wings are broken"
and the paradoc says
"then through healing
you will experience again
the joy of your fledgling self
learning to fly again"
***
waves coalesce into
form combining with form
to sing the cosmic egg
quiet cell of potential
of feminine yang
new collective being
to be sought out for joining
by active masculine yin
joining differences
so that strengths arise
giving our best to our progeny
the next level of being
to sing again
I AM"
as are we all
infinite variations
of 0, the egg
of 1, the sperm
binary being
of the observer riding
life's data stream
***
tidal desires
moon beckons cyclic changes
folding into waves
angels dance light beats
celestial hemispheres
divine melodies
winter offers rest
death brings gratitude to life
cold calls us to warmth
center speaks to beat
pumping out life's soul rhythm
synchosymphonics
***
light concentrating
in focal points
reaching to connect
transmitting, receiving
flowing
a thought
a starscape
a neural network
fragments of time
fragments of tapestry
ever flowing
into the eternal
rebirthing
creative force
of moving now
now is you
the watcher
the experiencer
be
***
enter into a feather
ride a spectral wave
chose your colours
and ride the flow
relax and open
to the harmony of
dolphin zen dancing round
your surfing chi
vibrate in the groove
and dance with your spectral neighbours
see the harmony
strive for discordance and the melodywill not reach your ears
find yourself reflected
in the light of those who love you
and find yourself
in love
trust love's intent
and open
to the passage into
forgiveness divine
gratitude elating
knowing
you are never alone
***
Reality Agent
reactive reagent of god
reaction reflects light
like the moon
open the door
and god will enter
all being
into one
as each becomes
an appendage of god
as each becomes
a cell, a molecule, an atom
of godas we become
all is an illusionary allusion
of nothing
of everything
waving, concentrating into dimensions
of existence
we're all the universe
experiencing itself
imagining its self
in infinite directions,
dimensions, perspectives
wouldn't you if you were god?
oh yeah, you are :-)
