heaven on earth sure
I see the world split, two by two,
A doubled spark in every view.
Like someone paused to play a game,
And painted each scene twice the same.
Lines wobble, shimmy, twist, and sway,
Two shadows juggling in dismay.
And I, caught in their dizzy spins,
Search for the place where one begins.
Shapes wobble, teeter, blur, from view,
A teasing trick I can’t hold true.
Each glimpse a pair, each glance a spin,
A world that shakes beneath my skin.
So when the sights collide and gleam,
Two forms that haunt my waking dream.
And even when the visions bounce,
I chase just one and take a chance.
no movie exists in THE NOW
if it did it would not be
no movement exists in the moment
if it would, the moment would be a second
no breath exists in the space
if it did the jagged line
between Life and Death would be no more
eternal IS here ~ for us to catch stardust
intending falling filtering flying halting pausing
joy remains a space-time tail of a
coil where it disappears as
we lay eyes on its slithering point escaped
a longed for romance with Divinity
when waters break down plughole
gone are sequins we sewed and hair
plaited with pearls

fell onto my page in rage
it wanted to speak about catchment
said it didn’t want to hurt any longer
it wanted to run uphill with me
to walk a labyrinth
asked to see how deep wounds were
it was only a repressed poem
that wanted Life
Life wants steady poems
with or without wounds
slashes can be superficial or deep
running uphill or down, seeking
labyrinths to erase blurs
together find healing Love as principle
tasting colours of freedom without defence
pages are blank, inked or mirrored
clouds happily sail across skies
a s p o e m s f a l l

duality calls wisdom
knowing rounds itself ~

up into twilight
winter and summer march by
seasons complete tasks ~

no quick fix is this sane game
puddles show portals ~

at round table smiling truce

(“Mind’s Eye”, 2017, original encaustic)
Neither coming or going,
The Nature of Mind
Simply is
What always has been
Now
(11/8/25)
Rain under moon's light
Spring's scent upon the soft wind
Yearning fire inside
Calm quiet this night
Crickets and frogs are chirping
Raging storm within
Flowers bloom in heat
Rising sun brings warm showers
Mind calm clinging chill
Spring's last morning frost
Hands trembling from past inflictions
Resolve standing firm
Dishonor begets
A warrior's heart faulters
Walking a new path
one deep note my love
across space fear dissipates
a sufi guitar ~
~~~~~~~
one hesitation
crimson seconds of response
fondness embrace waist ~
~~~~~~~~
response meets request
one withdrawal in tart time
fear was still abreast ~
~~~~~~~
tear trickles down cheek
tactic is but silver fork
melting in fire ~
~~~~~~~~
face of love aware
awakening bountiful
funny is fire ~
~~~~~~~~~~
questioning quiet
questing luminal lively
unfathomable ~

IN WISE VOTING AWARENESS
Surviving wisely,
Likewise, cast priceless votes:
Reclaiming justice-
Voting power is more powerful
Than mongering injustice:-
More trials lie ahead,
Let’s prepare to overcome:
Victories acquired:-
Yes, most changes do take time:
Conquering time awaits us:-
Present, wise voting
Paves the way for coming change:
Wise voting winning:-
Let not elections be bought;
But won by free priceless votes:-
FRATERNAL POLITICAL PARTY AWARENESS
When it comes to you and me,
Be aware of the chosen political party:-
We’ve been aided and deceived
By both major political party’s decree:-
When you check history and ourstory,
You will discover each party’s mockery:-
Hey, it’s not about which party all of the time; rather,
It’s about which of the two is pontificating the lesser crime:-
Check it out, Republicans as well as Democrats will choke,
As they viciously seek out money rather than our priceless vote:-
Thus, when it comes time to cast our priceless vote,
Navigated by political wisdom, choose the weakest rope:-
Then, go forth in future works to bring about equity,
Irrespective of the POTUS’s chosen political party:-
OF MERCY AND DAILY BREAD
It’s death, not life,
That’s inevitable.
Rather than being evoked
By what we’re dying of,
Let us give God the praises
For what we’re daily living with:-
In God’s healing spirit,
That has us perpendicular,
We’re not breathlessly parallel:
Our mission, not yet completed:-
Remember, we pray for daily healing;
Thus, must be our daily thanksgiving:
Reflected in daily labors of love
As we share the sacred word:-
Thus, let us live and share peace and love,
In the best mission-purpose endeavors,
Until we hear that resurrecting holy whisper:
“Well done, my servant. Come…take your rest.”
IN AND OF THE EQUITY OF DIVINE WISDOM AND GUIDANCE
Wisdom nourishing,
Understanding hydrating,
Be bound in service:
Engaged in labors of love,
With services to others:-
Energized in faith,
With belief in God and self,
Be an enlightener:
Reflecting inspiration,
And navigating guidance:-
In every way,
Be an instrument of peace,
Cultivating equity:-
Canvassing God’s will,
Pathway justice’s liberty:-
Squaring off with hope,
Cube peace, love, and unity:
Onement, the product:-
Resurrecting awareness,
Seek righteousness ascension:-
In divine wisdom
Always protract God’s oneness,
And divine evidence:
When He created this world,
Life dawned with equality:-
FROM ME TO YOU: APROPOS OF WISDOM, GUIDANCE, AND LEARNING
(A Teacher’s Reflections For And In A Labor Of Love)
Remember, “To not know is bad.”
“To not wish to know is worse:-”
Reading involves more than being able to pronounce words.
You must also know the meaning of each word encountered:-
It’s not about rushing to be first to complete the test.
It’s about taking your time to get the majority of right answers.
Hey, homework is equivalent to body and mind practice
in sports:-
Your mind is the home where you energize to become great
in academic challenges:-
Just because AI “solves” a problem for you, doesn’t mean
it’s solution is correct:-
Remember, AI only does what it is given by NI to do what you
input it to do:-
Remember, praying is not merely quick regurgitating
of remembered words;
Rather, praying is sacredly speaking with God, Saints,
and The Holy Spirit:-
Stop regurgitating, “I’m sorry”! Be in awareness!
“Don't be sorry; be aware.”
Hey, for me, teaching is a labor of love:-
Make learning likewise, for you:-
Be in onderful oneness onement:-
Peace and Love:-
TO BE OR NOT TO BE
(Apropos Of Pondering Self)
Do not doubt yourself,
Cherish your God given gifts;
Believe in yourself:
No belief in self is bad;
Refusing to is much worse:-
THE MIND AND THE HEART OF THE MATTER
(A Senryu Trio)
In reality,
The heart can’t be broken,
But can be deceived:-
Mind, mind’s deceptions:-
Deceived minds, deceive hearts:
Be in awareness:-
Deceived hearts suffer,
Feeling a mind’s deceived pain:
Healed minds heal their hearts:-
