All Embracing Poems

rising

we rise
although gravity and time 
may hold us in the cupping 
of their hands
we rise in a plethora of dreams
escaping above the vents
of circumstance
we rise into the tent
of all embracing;
and as if, and but, and still 
we rise into each contemplation
new as the reckoning
of togetherness
draws us to the breath
of our existence;
rising, always rising
to meet the air of every day
to stay through every 
active play and to meet
what will become.
the beauty of this world so much, 
that I must blink with astonishment
to hold back tears.
If I could not blink I fear, 
sixty per cent of who I am, 
would leave me, in abject eagerness,
to kiss the earth.

Does Love Seek Resonance

Ego, not love, seeks vibrational match
for love is simply an effervescence 
like yonder sun, lighting up each dark patch,
being quintessence of our soul’s essence.
Is not fickle love, that seeks a caress,
being dependent upon an exchange;
which if denied, soon begins to regress,
succumbing to cravings, our soul finds strange?
Love that is pure, is of the agape kind,
non-judging, all-embracing compassion,
a sublime radiance, no urge can bind
but perhaps such love is not in fashion.
If endearment be reduced to a trade,
deludedly, we assign love a grade.

Deludedly, we assign love a grade,
higher, if it gratifies our ego,
which is afraid to call a spade a spade,
need to be stroked, unable to let go.
As life unfolds and our consciousness shifts,
we may find that our interests diverge
but elixir of pure love, all hearts lifts,
radiating at all times, a bliss surge.
What matters at all times, is simply this,
that we see in our partner, divine light,
ensconced wherein, both our souls merge to kiss,
drenched in bliss mists, heightening heart’s delight.
Where love pulsates, there can remain no catch;
ego, not love, seeks vibrational match.

Zen Mode

when heart be pure
grace fills us
we are grateful

is then grace
an attribute external
which now pulsates
within our heart 

innocence 
rejects the idea
of separation

be that as it may
we cannot deny
lack of awareness 
as the cause of sin

when with love we concur 
nodes within us stir 
boundaries blur

by love we mean 
effervescence eternal
non-judging, all embracing
seeing God’s light in all forms

As Sands Fall

"as sands fall"


as sands fall with time peace is always on my mind

searching light and beauty my eyes are all embracing

seeing past the far and beyond to the grace of life

unveiled are bright suns and moons shining explicitly

such are moments of harmony that penetrate my soul

Sin Is But Ignorance

We act in ignorance and call it sin,
being sadly, the genesis of guilt,
so if we wish to be free, let’s begin
by discarding beliefs that make us wilt,
remodelling mind on such beliefs built.
Love all embracing, is quick to forgive,
so let vibrancy be the way we live,
releasing ourselves from fears forms we spawn,
knowing God’s boundless love always does give,
living mindfully, each breath a new dawn.

Ultimate

Perfection I should gain; as perfect as the warmth of love,
Affluence, aspiration, and uprightness too should shove;
That substance, that essence, that omnipotent power sway,
That formal and final cause and effect only will stay...!

Could I call it Narvana, the confident negation?
Could I call it ethereal, eternal elation?
Is it one from whom the comely universe came to be?
Is it the source of all that I could see and cannot see...?

Is it Tian, the highest principle of all creation?
Is it causation, collation, and conscious cessation?
Endless energy, crucial truth, yet, indescribable,
Could its foundation and finish be so ascribable...?

Such as Brahma, Vishnu, Shiva, All-embracing Allah,
The Father, Son, and the Spirit...  Amen Alleluiah...!
Waheguru and numerous god-men and women, great,
Through them, with them, in them... I'll be in an ecstatic state...!!!

African Queen

Words cannot explain how you portray beauty.
Your grace is so immense it is captivating. 
You have that glow and I think you know what I mean
When you enter a room all is consumed by your electricity. 
The way you walk and talk has a allure that others flock like a bee to see.
The way you dress is to impress
You glide like the breezein the mist of other company
Your head attire is all embracing 
Full of colour and stature 
Captivating your beautiful face in a nice embrace
MY AFRICAN QUEEN.

Doorways

Though warmly felt, for a doorway's
Loving presence;
Smilingly, to her, giving access
His preference;

Cold blown in shadow to this
Person of Love!
All-embracing fire, lights up, for home
Heaven above.

Deeper Depths

In deeper depths we strive to peek
through sharper optical technique
and glimpse beyond to sights unseen
with magnifying lenses keen
and special telescopic tweak.

Still here on earth with doublespeak
we inadvertent havoc wreak
albeit nature holds the lien
in deeper depths.

Yet ‘midst the visible mystique
within perception’s mien oblique
concealed beneath illusion’s screen,
could there be beingness serene
an all-embracing realm to seek
in deeper depths?


~ Harley White

Journey From the Sky

The fountain is opened,
The sky is rent apart,
They take their journey,
A purpose is to be fulfilled,
A mission is to be accomplished,
The journey of a raindrop,
Can't be wholly fathomed, 
Its existence as an entity,
Is incomprehensible,
What we know is what we see,
What we see is what we believe, 
It rinses clean the atmosphere,
It drains away the unclean substances,
Some float,
Some are deposited,
Harmful substances to an all-embracing host.

O All Embracing Nature

Shall I compare you with -
Nectar-filled fine flowers?
fruits deliciously sweet?
Trees tall, sturdy and tough?
Soft curvy creeper-pleat...?

Shall I compare you with -
Mountainous green valleys?
Rivers and endless seas?
Amazon rain forests?
Tempests and gentle breeze...?

Shall I compare you with -
Creatures so beauteous?
Beasts of deserts and woods?
Sea creatures of all shapes?
humans with multi-moods...?

Shall I compare you with -
Cosmos and Milky Way?
You are the sum of all,
And have your say and sway;
In you all live and fall...!

New Tyranny

New Tyranny 

The dawn, after the rain had trumpet its force on the old roof tiles
it ceased to a soft drizzle harmless and tender.
Yes, I know I should get up at seven steeped as I´m a protestant work ethic.
Overcome by laziness, I slept for two hours more.
In my drowsiness, thought about how our freedom has been restricted by the internet,
our thought and secrets are no longer our property but shared by authorities that want 
to know our innermost thoughts.
We are prisoners of an all-embracing society that will not tolerate thoughts
other than banal comments about a friend`s birthday.
What we heralded as a great instrument for communication 
is perverted and spied on by our leaders.
Free speech only exists for those who have nothing to say and accept living
in the land of the convention.
Nothing can be nobler if we demand our right 
not to be censured 
and called seditious because we will not be trapped
in the trivial acceptance of perceived lies.

Bliss Throb Rising

Bliss throb rising, our form enveloping
Unbound is joy, in dance of innocence 
Delighting benign currents cascading
Mindful cognisance of subtle nuance

Inner balance, invokes divine cadence
Nodes within aligning, love caressing 
Grace essence felt by inner sentience 
Bliss throb rising, our form enveloping

Heart inviting, magnetism delighting
Egos penance, this carefree dalliance
All embracing, smiling child so playing 
Unbound is joy, in dance of innocence 

Heavenly fragrance, fortifies patience
Accepting our life force slowly ebbing
Erect stance reveals its luminescence 
Delighting benign currents cascading

No doing needed, on earth journeying
Save stillness and silence continuance
Fickle fears ceasing, fearlessly flowing
Mindful cognisance of subtle nuance

Divine effervescence, our quintessence
We are here for loving, giving, growing
Lower mind urges, keep at a distance
Trusting Gods touch, allowing enabling
Bliss throb rising
