autumn equinox
equipoised daylight and night…
balance and symmetry
plants in your garden…
intentions for your life path…
honor the harvest
nature evolving:
death, rebirth, growth and harvest
celebrate, give thanks
There is this thirst, gnawing our soul
Flickers, our heart’s delight
Bliss suffused, we wish to feel whole
Equipoised, day and night
To see God face to face
Held in His warm embrace
As in-pours divine grace
Quenched by bliss burst
There is this thirst

Quietus
Buddhist view on aversion and desire,
cognises oscillations between them,
thereby sidestepping consequence dire,
nipping thorns and flowers, before they stem,
equal in dark and star of Bethlehem.
Cessation by negation, age old ways,
far cry from the tantric, who to joy sways,
dancing at all times in celebration,
imbibing within bliss, that always stays,
given to play, in vibrant elation.
One view accepts that what is, simply is,
thus centered in the void, without movement,
choice of non-action, exiting thought quiz,
heart equipoised in quiet contentment,
whilst the other infuses joy intent,
each breath inflow taken as divine grace,
burning yearning to see God face to face,
all acts performed, in aspect surrender,
seeking out the truth, at a burning pace,
whilst beholding Gods manifest wonder.

Take life for every minute it gives
Spend time like dust specks gathered
Free your mind off taunted shadowed thoughts
Clean the mind unfurl coiled negative energy
Walk equipoised trumping rooted darkness
Rejuvinate coarse emotions thrusting chuffs
Run a mile and count the escalations
Forgo the tumbles and stand chin up.
