Urgent is the will,
The self is as still as the night;
Apathy controlling;
Urgency calling,
The will remains imprisoned;
And apathy, keyless;
Urgency calling,
Apathy, shedding useless tears;
Fear controlling action:-
Genesis begins all,
Revelation ends it all;
Life dwells in between:-
Apathy is like a cold stone
Nestling in the mud;
Decision, like a swing in the wind;
Action roars like a lion,
And races like a waterfall
Roaring to its destiny;
Cold stones are no match
For angry sledgehammering chaos,
And in sunlight, mud dries and crusts over:-
Life should be woven
In a web of love, netting all
In a beehive of togetherness;
Indeed, there is no apathy
In the lives of hiving bees;
They live in onederful oneness:-
Let us strive to live life
In conscientious, concentric,
Cosmic onement;
Let us strive to live life,
Void of all senses of neglected apathy;
Let’s choose to be as bees, not as the mud:-

Lift your celestial gaze to be amazed in Wonder
As has Ptolemy, then Copernicus and Kepler after
Who are the capricious Gods who dance in wander
To revere Mercury? Venus? Mars? Saturn? Jupiter?
Ptolemy imagined a play staged at his own residence
There the Gods heaved upon us all their vain existence
Trapped by Humanity's Ego, blind to exposed evidence
His glowing Hearth lifting higher embers of negligence
Copernicus heralded the inspirational spark of sacred denial
Orbits dared to be spun into the ire wrath of Church reprisal
Hush your Truth. Mankind cannot, will not be the Sun's disciple
Calculations implore? Observations explore? ASTRONOMICAL!!!
Kepler awoke to his divine intervention lifting the veil of Dogma
He questioned atop ashes of descent burned without anesthesia
A revolution uproar of Ellipses stretching in variable speed inertia
The Gravity of his Truth pulling inextricably at undisputable raw data
The moral of this recounting is to shun the fantasies touted by Elves
Be wise. Be curious. Gather the courage to see Truth for yourselves

concentric life,
because the peach velvet
returns as wrinkled skin.
remember the old book in the bedroom?
it contained your now dead laugh,
old food scraps,
everything you said
about the weight of pain
and about the failure of anesthesia
who created the graves full of screams.
there is no more perfect frame
for this morning caged in dim lights.
anyway, only we knew:
the earth melting means
that the rush of the rockets makes sense.

rings of magnetic electricity
correspondent to each energy zone
affirm their bliss pulsations visibly
within form power, though not ours to own
an open secret, known to us alone
innumerable are the energy grids
apart from Sushumna, the central vein
become visible, if we do as bid
singular God focus, pure and unstained
whereupon assimilation ingrained
there are as many doors, as there are pores
we are divine being, full of Gods light
love and light dawns on those who keep no score
thunderous bliss pulsating day and night
revealing luminescence vibrant bright
imagine a fine comb grazing our skin
enlivening each node with magnetism
wholeness centreless vibrating within
each cell becoming our sensorium
radiating light from mind body prism

Pebble tossed into waters deep
Ripples awakened… from gentle sleep
Concentric rings of force in search
Of mossy banks ‘gainst which to lurch
And said stone sinks deep…
deep To mossy floor
watched by perch
…then seen no more…
Small rock tossed, wraps silt around
Then snuggles deep into muddy ground
And sudden silence, not a peep!
It calmly falls into stony sleep
On mossy floor…in water deep
To visions of rapids
and craggy shore
Watched by tadpoles
…then seen no more…
Pebble tossed into waters dank
By chance and fate, and cosmos swept
At random picked from rocky bank
Like life and Nature’s mysteries kept...
By chance and fate, by love and hate
We’re children not of choice, but chance…
Given only
a summary glance
To be seen again, no more
…no more…

I’m here.
Holding up the sky
It will not fall on you
Not again
In these days once more
When you tell me you canna do it
Not again
Stuttering intakes of breathless oceans apart
Yet so close as to tingle fingertips
Gasping at familiar melodies of desert songbirds
The smell of earth after a rainstorm
Two thousand miles of trust
Between us
And the origin of this collaboration
Of souls
Back to the beginning
Of recognition of you of me and
Me of you and
There is no end
Not this day
Nor tomorrows ever will I
Leave you
For I would cease to breathe.
For my Devin

Amidst the madness of gunfire
we found a safety haven.
Passing through concentric borders
sounds faded into birds chirping
and water trickling in a tropical
oasis.
In the center was a cradle and
a baby sleeping peacefully wrapped
in soft flannel gave a little sigh
and curled its tiny fingers.
