Chapter 1:

Contemplate this...
End of life,
Forever darkness,
A place to hide,

( A middle aged man stands 
close to the edge. Enveloped  
in darkness he looks down, 
rain whips his face. In the 
blackness below, 
splinters of white, as waves 
crash)

Chapter 2:

Contemplate this...
Accept...life is bad,
Depressed, oppressed, 
Time...

Nothing is seen when the darkness abounds
to cover the lamp that hangs in the soul
and brings confusion that often confounds
when life gathers a storm out of control
free the mind, contemplate what is real
with inner visions of understanding
subdue what the mind may want to conceal
and hold...

WHY BECOME A PERSON THAT'S PERSISTENTLY
               NOTICEABLE FOR BEING EGRECIOUS?...

That I could soar and glide effortlessly
o'er snow-capped colossal mountains,
watch my visionary dreams pile up and up,
contemplate the winding harrowing paths
that led to chilly but charming cascades,
with their aquatic pleasures, all exquisite bliss.
 
How my exuberant heart would delightfully sigh
like a whispering zigzagging mountain breeze!
Would...

In every man, there is a child.--Santosh Kalwar

I cannot contemplate a child--
His essence is much too complex;
Though I look deep into his eyes,
His soul I cannot fathom yet.
Suffice it, thus, that this I know:
A child lives on in every man.

Quiet pieces of my heart, fragile
Delicate like silk or hope,
Betray the breath of my past,
Aching through the flames
Burning away my disgrace, my shame
Lifting doubt from the shadows

Gentle stars reflect my soul, shimmering
Like laughter from the sun,
Beaming down, erasing the clouds
Creating beauty from the darkness,
Promising faith...

Consider if space is an entity
Within whose womb we grow
Clearing debts of love we owe
Until we vaporise ego identity

That within which forms exist
Is propelled by a higher power
God bestowing a bliss shower
Fulfilment if we cease to resist

God then beyond space time
Represents the ultimate reality
Transcending manifest...

At times I sit and comtemplate
Can we change or is it to late
Can we take back things we said
Show love and compassion instead
Can we try not to critize
Bring tears to someone else's eyes
Can we learn to give our all
And be the first to make the...

Fish are named
Lazarus and Carl Jung 
they swim in the library, art studio,
that spare room 
where I write, paint.
Their eyes are the size 
of their stomachs.
They mouth dreams
in silence behind glass.

I stare back, envious
of graceful slow motion angel gills
immersed in a tank of tears
gathered from...

Life is a dancing frequency
and being off key
can cost you to lose your soul 
and return back to the abyss.
Nothing can escape the void.
Unless, you stare it in the eyes 
and it stares back.
And then what?

Be Bold!

Be Brave!

Be Fearless!

Have Courage!

And, if you stare long enough.
Victory...

I wish I could immerse myself 
in the pages of history, time, 
and deep reflection...letting go 
of everything I think I know 
and give myself another chance 
to clarify my perceptions and beliefs
in the river of life that flows.  

If only I could turn...

He walks with a limp, dog in tow,
lives on streets, 'neath an azure sky
says, "Morning," with smiles as he goes
Wears logo, "Like you, I could fly."
but people compartmentalize.
He's  one of the derelict crowd,
some say they must be disallowed.
Kindness calls us to  contemplate
what they...

It's okay to say No
If you're not ready for something new
If you're questioning and confused
If you are unsure or if you hesitate 

It's okay to say No
While you're moving forward
If you have to take a step back and pause
Or wrestle 
Or revisit 

It's okay to...

** From Moon to Clover **

I say,”Do not!” live every  day 
As if it were our last day,” like some advise.
For tears will flow without end

And cheeks cannot be quenched, nor  hearts be
Rushed .  In that way, too, the beauty of music
Will...
