The Wormhole Wore a Waistcoat
She entered unannounced; no bell, no brass. The aperture, a bureaucratic lapse in Nature’s accounting, permitted transit for the curious, not the wise. Through corridors of warped conjecture, she drifted—unclaimed luggage of a thought experiment. Each particle bowed with procedural discipline; each law maintained protocol under duress.
The stars retracted their nominations, preferring anonymity to metaphor.

Light: A Spiritual Interdisciplinary Inquiry
When God said
“Let there be light”
Was it meant literally or metaphorically?
Did time arise crafting the photon
with the intent
of illuminating the basis of reality?
An observational lens providing the closest assumption of truth?
Or did the limit of human consciousness take precedence.
Therefore, implying we needed to be saved from the void of ignorance,
as light is the transference

Ramana’s inquiry
the object the subject has dreamed
moves within the dream realm so conjured
acquiring an ego, a temporary consciousness
to navigate the terrain where it has been so placed
being hypnotised by the environment
the dreamed object inevitably enters trance
forgetting its origin it then seeks to expand itself
instinctively pursuing ephemeral objects of heart’s desire
the entity by itself

Beyond the Ivory Tower
Soft ivory pages, crisp and new.
Insulated from the world's harsh truths,
Snuggled in the comfort of rote learning, it waits.
Protected from challenging ideas,
Camouflaged as a bastion of knowledge,
Ignoring sounds of a changing world outside.
Each lesson absorbed, concepts released,
The slightest spark of curiosity dimmed,
Minds anchored to standardised forms.
Slow to evolve, the system creaks.
Returning to the safety of

An Ode to Inquiry
Who seeks the truth with a curious gaze?
A child's bright eyes pierce the shadowed maze.
The scholar's relentless, tireless quest,
Unveiling mysteries, putting doubt to the test.
The artist's keen eye, a story untold,
In the mundane, beauty's secrets unfold.
What ignites the flame, the burning desire?
The question that sparks, setting knowledge afire.

Pursuit of Infinite Knowledge and Understanding
(In a Lush Garden Somewhere Out There)
The student stands where shifting sands of thought
Once firm with reason
now elusive truths are sought.
Its splendor wanes
a threadbare fading strand,
A quest for wisdom
in this digital land.
Sage: (With gentle gaze)
A sprite of bytes
on data's wings
you soar
Through streams of understanding
a world to explore.
But tell me

Direct Inquiry
the joy we sought
has been denied
to overcome fear
let God’s light guide
the seat of God
is in our heart
so that is where
our quest should start
to tip toe into heart
thoughts must recede
that in trust we follow
wherever bliss beats lead
the table is laid
our ascent is assured
provided cravings of ego
are gently censured
head melded with heart
inner conflict ends
to the will of

Authenticity Inquiry
while I sleep deeply
my imagined world comes to life
my environment has darkened
as a result of my waking
who am I?
an artist!
a poet!
a singer!
a dreamer!

Glorious Truths
Tossing and turning in Whitman’s grass,
Breathing every fervent loving sensate,
My deliberate doubts, you may bypass,
To obey the certainty of Christian dictates.
To some, my probes attack settled law,
My queries are grounds for execution.
I don’t mind those symbols wedged in your craw.
I just seek truths instead of words well spun.
Truth travels in a continuous passage,
Skipping along

Musing On the Soul
What is this soul we talk about?
Might I find it in a droplet of water
Perhaps, in a pop tune … a shout,
In a loving mother, an abusive father?
Elusive and ethereal, so hard to find
Is it in our unique thought processes,
A synonym for the individual mind,
Something every human possesses?
Perhaps, a figment of imagination?
Something we cannot understand,
Many

Self Inquiry
Self-Inquiry..
"Not this..Not this"
That old-timey formula to find
One's true self..then updated:
Not nothing..not everything
A viral communique..then
This news flash:
Not-even-nothing..not-even-everything..
All of these "Nots" left the self
Bruised but resilient..still standing..
Yet..
This obscure notice could always be
Found buried in the Obituaries:
The self inquires..the self is inquiry
Freedom is already as inquiry dies..
Apparently...
