That aspect of us, caged in form,
knows not it’s living light,
so fears fierce onslaughts of life’s storm,
till it imbibes clear sight.
Stretching the pregnant pause,
we get to know the cause
of conceptual flaws.
Track thoughts that nonplus
That aspect of us
past
misty, nostalgic
retreating, missing, remembering
retrospection, memorabilia, dream, destiny
waiting, enticing, unfurling
hopeful, golden
future

Hardly venture into such verse.
In her bedroom, she wrote her curse.
She despised bright pupils at Yale.
If water drops could tell their tale.
She went on long walks in the drought.
They urged her to blend in and flout.
In gray rain, she went past wan shale.
If water drops could tell their tale.
Had they fed the felled holy trees?
Her thongs sloshed in a thoughtful breeze.
Gather, freeze, pour down wet and hail.
If water drops could tell their tale.
Where had those lovely old dribs been?
which dropped sunk ships and saved Tholepin.
She found longing despite the hail.
If water drops could tell their tale.

John Meyendorff makes a careful case that the Holy Spirit can be interpreted as a Feminine Aspect in the Trinity. He is clear that Only the WORD became flesh as Jesus Christ. But in Meyendorff's chapter in a volume edited by Dow Kirkpatrick (1974) titled THE HOLY SPIRIT, we are cautioned NOT to slide into Gnostic beliefs.
Aspect allowing, free flowing
Devoid of resistance
Feel radiant heart mellowing
Erect becomes soul stance
Beauteous are love’s hues
As good karma accrues
Bliss ignition renews
Blissful heart glowing
Aspect allowing

Quietus
Bliss continuous, grace fortuitous,
renews it’s enlivening vibration
through pathways direct or circuitous,
entwining us with all of creation,
amplifying it’s joyful sensation.
As a receptor imbibing God’s grace,
all we seek is to see Him face to face,
being consumed by a burning yearning,
to ascend then thus at His chosen pace,
resisting not magnetic heat churning.

Walk on the plantar aspect;
Yonder sole walks through life's traffic
So on these streets he walks alone;
On cobbler pathways made of stone;
Tether bound feet worn polluted soles;
Trotting marching everywhere he goes;
Step by step by step by step lonely traveler;
Trolling throughout the city he goes;
Yet now preeminence instilled solace;
The marathon a walking gatherer;
Hindsight in the back of his mind he knows;
Like in biblical times he's marching the streets of Zion;
Now still he stands he digress;
Embedded of The Souls of his feet bit so gravel;
Feet corns and bunions hurt ;
Done walked miles on this bumpy Earth;
Pathway lit lighted flows;
Marathon Man walk on, he walks alone-
On terrain this worlds track and field so graphic;
Marathon Man walk on plantar aspect;

Relished thoughts
remain in cheerful hearts
not ridden by storms;
they protect them always
be it pain, or be it joy:
then, can spring signify life
in some inconceivable aspect
and promises excitement
for all and each one,
not walking the extra mile
and trip on stones that annoy?
Ah, avoiding strides accomplishes none!
Do false lovers deceive
and take what's not theirs?
Do their empty promises
bring delusion or allusion...
when hastiness aggrieves
and they think it's transitive
to meditate on a substitution?
Unpleasant thoughts darken the mind,
they spread a veil of opaque certainty
across the eyes that can't see with clarity...
that one needs to achieve something grand
by discerning that spring signifies life in some inconceivable aspect,
who can assert that all seasons are unchangeable and perfect?
His appearance was overbearing
for a small guy.
He had the aspect of a Pitbull
playfully chewing on a horses leg,
the pugnacious look
of a blowfish in heat.
When I studied his mannerisms
I was reminded of - me.
Say
yes now
to the pulse
of love divine,
as it seeks to fill
our emptiness within.
We see the magic at play;
magnetic heat within rises!
Rapturous spasms display our delight;
a dance beauteous, through each day and night.
Aspect allowing, paves way for blessings
to inpour, in as by God ordained.
Benign bliss explosion fills us,
vaporising lower mind.
Liken this to climax
without any end!
Fact, not fiction,
shh, a secret,
known to
few.
