Hide and Seek
Boju- Boju
Playing life's game
Suited with the right face
Hide and Seek
Bojo boju
A game of subtle pretense
doing it life's way
clothed the right way
A mask for every season
A man for all reasons
See the masquerade at play
hide and seek squirrel is a pleasure to watch if you must know
oak trees fight over him, he is clever, and has humor that glows
it’s my turn they holler to him as he begins his game play.
Shh! He shushes them. You will give my hiding place away!

Why are we hiding behind ourselves?
In a frightened world, by themselves.
Quietness penetrates all our thoughts.
If we like it, who cares about the cost?
Let us close our eyes to show empathy
Of my true love who left unexpectedly.
Some love issues need to be left alone
Surrender it to God; He's on the Throne.
Let's keep holding on till the last dance
Then we will decide if this is romance.
Are we like kids playing hide-and-seek?
Behind the lover's mask, hiding defeat?
Vibrational descent followed by ascent,
duality’s offering for our delight,
that on blurring boundaries we feel content,
as we’re teleported to zenith like height,
upon the bliss current’s auspicious advent,
revealing that our true Self is living light.
Liken life then to a game of hide and seek,
where God hides from us, yet offers a sneak peek.
If all I know is the hurricane,
where is it's eye?
As if it likes to play hide and seek -
make a guess -
who is the seeker?
Isn't life a game, after all?
It thinks I'm eager to play.
I'm not...
Are you?
This is different
Eerie
The winds have changed.
The colors fade into
a lifeless, chalky form,
and all life disappears
in a uniform fashion,
as I stand at its edge,
too scared to move.
Even the sun plays
hide and seek.
And I've volunteered to play seeker.
Who would have thought the sun
was so gifted at playing,
after all these years of
willingly showing his face.
And now I face off
between the darkness
and what's left of me.
There's no rest
for the rest of me.
I lay resting in pieces.
Rest In Peace
One piece left -
it stumbles in the dark.
One piece,
one part to play.
It knows it's still
in the game.
It knows -
To live in darkness
among darkness
requires little of us.
But to seek the light,
to create light
among the darkness
demands effort.
So
much
effort
These winds are changing,
and the darkness encloses me
as I watch the flowers,
disposing of each petal,
fade from my view.
The sun wants to play hide and seek
I can tell this one's going to hurt
as I listen to the drum of my
heart beat grow louder.
I call out
Ready or not, here I come!
HIDE AND SEEK
Love can be discreet
Sometimes even neat
Feeling the heart beat
Often disguising
The passion rising
But there is more yet
By being adept
With a secret kept
The face is glowing
And all are knowing
When love is showing
Not always hidden
Nor overridden
When it is bidden
And recognising
It’s not surprising
I seek but cannot find.
You hide yourself too well.
I’m always far behind in my search for where you dwell
I cover up my eyes
And listen for your voice.
If you’d drop your disguise then my poor heart would rejoice…
It’s like some kind of game.
You’re always out of sight.
My tiny little flame won’t burn out of control tonight.
I run so as to win.
Again, I lose the race.
As soon as I begin, I am already in last place.
Comes down to motes and beams…
The world goes to the meek…
But all my self-esteem won’t accept the words you speak.
And all I want to do
Is walk here, by your side
But it is also true that as I seek, I hide…
stars twinkle lighting up the night sky
in the day we must say goodbye
although they are out of sight
they blend in with the light
you can make a wish
it can come true
it is all
up to
you.
Her pleasant smile
she tried to hide
I know not exactly why
Her secret glance at me
Is as pure as
Her pleasant smile
Her inner feelings
Springing out for me somehow
She tried to hide
This game of
Her hide and seek
I know not exactly why
Soul’s hiding somewhere within
this feeble form we adorn,
so lets find it together,
in the cave of heart.
I saw God, I swear I did,
Was it a chimera or was I in luck?
Who knows? I was awestruck.
I looked again and He wasn’t there,
I closed my eyes and He was everywhere.
I rejoiced, embracing this connection,
It felt like a passage toward ascension.
I’ve surrendered to the scorch of vibrations
In my deepest being,
Cosmic gospels were piercing my Self;
Couldn’t understand a word,
But I could feel what it was said.
It was like magic, now you see Him,
Now you don’t.
Forgotten knowledge that now I knew,
Reminded me, that I was you.
I took a breath and I was shedding ego,
Fear and everything that dread.
A veil of understanding
Was lifting before my eyes.
It was God and me,
Playing hide and seek.
Glance within and have a peek.
Words tumble like dice,
nonsense vies with sense.
Life plays hide and seek
with itself.
An artisan mixes clay,
gathers new mud,
spits into it.
He molds a prayer,
words shape themselves.
Each word is a fractal,
of a pregnant womb,
not all, but all the parts
appear
for his seeking hands
to gather in and structure.
Later, once the clay has set,
the worker will craft a cradle,
to reveal the truth of mud.
I walked by God's house and saw him peeking from behind a drawn curtain.
you will always find
in these conditions who hides
dried leaves are noisy
