Ataraxia

Note to self: In observation where there seems to be nothing there, there is 
always air.  Even without matter there is something for instance light waves.

The spirit of the Divine in me seeks the Ataraxian mode of living  
Although I long for air in my lungs I keep bumping into tables and chairs, 
like an old ghost who has forgotten the use of her legs and arms. 
The elemental carbon  of my living structure is no more matter than 
the air I breathe. Through diffusive meditative qualm, I can almost 
touch its ether, "my being" 
He poured his Numen Spirit long ago inside my stillborn body  
where once I was clear sky, today just brain on forceps. 
Its when I place my breath in the womb of God that my skeptic nature, ?

Almost 8 Billion

We’re the electromagnetic spectrum;
Particles, waves, almost eight billion strong.
To coherent frequencies some belong,
some divided by color through prism.
Varying energies from low to high,
narrowly diffracted photons scatter.
Lacking mass, believing we don’t matter,
Invisible to the unaided eye.

Synchronized, polarized, amplified beams,
collimated waves propagating dreams,
refracted rays bend to reflected streams
We may choose to oscillate to and fro
by joining a wave in communal flow,
or as single sparks in diffusive glow

Delight In Heart

Delight in heart
  Our eyes are in sight 
         Despite  any height
     There is no rules to abide
     Just us by each others side

Laughter we seek 
  in the oblique
  Let yourself leak 
  As
     From the heart we click. 

Speech like music
  and music like silenced words.
      So elusive...
         Diffusive. 
          With all the chords
      

Flows in ears, 
    Outpours in soul as it cheers, 
 
"Blush on cheeks 
 Slowly Blinks ...
  Leans in
    for a kiss, 
    Soft bliss
      and encountered a wordless miss"
          
In the glimpse
          Sweet freeze
                     Love Rinse 

To the grey hair 

We won't despair.

The Rolling Air

Thy voice is on the rolling air;
 I hear thee where the waters run;
 Thou stand out in the rising sun,
 And in the setting thou art fair

 What art thou then ? I cannot guess;
 But though I seem in star and flower
 To feel thee some diffusive power,
 I do not therefore love thee less;

 My love involves the love before;
 My love is vast in passion now
 Through mixed with God and nature thou,
 I seem to love thee more and more

 Far off thou art, but ever nigh;
 I have thee still, and I rejoice;
 I prosper, circled with thy voice;
 I shall not lose thee although I die
