The Great Toad
("Peyote Moon", 2018, original encaustic)
The Great Toad
At the gateless gate
I met the Great Toad
Sitting tall and wide
And in his gaze
All my needs were known
And met
And in that moment
I passed beyond
Without a trace
(8/17/25)

As we metamorphose
We find ourself centred in a bliss storm,
mantras as hymns playing in the background,
wherein all we do is simply conform,
breathing in grace as we are twirled around.
Incompatible with maverick mind,
we now dwell in the heart, bliss energised,
with soft pulsations of silence aligned,
reach by breath by kundalini baptised.
Witnessing ebb and flow of tides in time,
we embrace

Dream world
as a character in this lucid dream
within which we are now somewhat awake
although we do dance atop love’s moonbeam
in the background we are calm like a lake
life as already impulsed will unfold
and as a wave in the ocean we dance
but fears and desires have loosened their hold
both our mood and mode being nonchalance
we

transmitting back to Self, strobes of contrast
in descent and ascent through vibrations
looking neither ahead nor in the past
we embrace and release all sensations
trusting what is, with no expectations
that thus with bilocation as the key
unshackled from ego we’re always free

from darkness to light
for long i swam oceans fed by rivers of sin
my restless mind withheld no trespass on earth
each thought i hatched took root within my soul
and my deeds unveiled the hidden rot i sowed
my conscience died buried in the devils vineyard
i smoked beyond what my fragile lungs could bear
i drank each bottle that promised me forgetting

She's Still With Me
She came tonight, a whisper soft,
As I lay reading, lost in thought.
Her warmth curled close, a phantom grace,
And time dissolved in her embrace.
The book fell silent in my hand,
Her breath was there, I swear I felt.
A tear broke free, then came the flood—

Walk Into The Light
Walk into the Light
Beginning with the eye:
One like a needle has,
And pierce into your mind.
Enter the Source where
Light produces Light:
Never returning to
This Darkness left behind.
Walk into the Light.

State of the all quiet
relinquishing feeling of thought ownership
silence is our default orientation
innate vibrance of consciousness our worship
the void of cessation our meditation
bliss in permanence is then our heart’s flagship
obtaining the power of bilocation
doing nothing yet as all doings are done
recognising clearly God and we are one

Zen mode
when our ego thins out, God takes control
which reworded means that boundaries blur
as we become the flame scriptures extol
nodes within stir and with bliss beats concur
there is no earth goal we need to fulfil
each breath ushers dawn as life just flows on
bliss exhumes last traces of egoic will
that here and now we become the

Let Your Soul Be Seen
I cannot see the essence of thee,
Yet in thy deepest mystery lies reality.
Not with my eyes but with my heart I see,
Truth is inside of me.
The chaos of this illusionary life is blinding,
Yet still unwinding.
Within my inner solitude, I could be finding,
My authentic self is revealing, reminding.
All peace is in wholeness and unity,
Not in living
