By dawn's early moonlight
Visual trance hides divine
In Burrow Whither Falls
Where strings denial hangs tight
River’s less than decay
Laughter’s final descent
Striping comfort torn wide
Through red sector waking
Puddles fear them coming
These live’s who burn away
Running backwards full smile
Drunk on honey and gin
Cherry trees held vacant
Around daunting screams Spring’s
Wedding gift two who’s love
Forgot headon embankment
Centers inner matter
Stricken beside forest’s
Hotel sanctum hatred
Sharing reaps sow Whisper
-Forever
When I close my eyes
to meditate
thoughts flooding
and unyielding
I see with my inner eye
the monkey mind
an incessant flurry
worry about worry
You can tame your mind
separate the observer
from the observed
two mindful parts of you
You are not your thoughts
notice then surrender
resist certainty
throwdown anxiety
Intently focus your breath
settle into self
true presence
is not in thoughts
Forget the allure of grasping
commit to ever practicing
let perfection be gone
greet chaos headon
Live the ah ha moment
some inner peace is yours
relax then let go
move to the light
