The Chicken SplashAre you an internet duck or chick?
Do your webbed feet do the trick?
Or do they really get you down
Along with your feathers brown?
Perhaps we could just enjoy this heavy shower
Together and have one long happy hour

Along with the Thunder
There is not always rain
Along with the thunder
There is not always bite
Along with the bark
There is not always oxygen
When we go under
Not always a devil
Along with the dark
But we can always count on,
Along with the sorrow,
Laughter and joy joining this life
We can always count on,
Along with the blood shed,
Somewhere, a sharp wicked...

Just Beneath the SurfaceEveryone is seeking
a peace they want to know.
Looking for that happiness
but not knowing where to go.
There's a million things that promise
lasting joy, or so they say.
But every single thing
brings more struggle in its way.
Some look for peace in circumstance,
some look for it in health.
Some claim that joy is all just chance,
some look for it in...

as we metamorphosea soft gentle bliss hum rises within
holding our soul presence in warm embrace
toroidal swirl urging us to plunge in
that we imbibe the offerings of grace
in timeless time we become the bliss chime
which is to say we transform as the flame
effervescence of love voicing a rhyme
subtle epiphanies that have no name
body-mind a vehicle which we drive
allotted...

Choose Life
Sometimes – many times
I’m busier than I would like to be,
I find myself hurrying through the days
as they pass by,
laughing at my scurrying
like a squirrel, they say – hustling
but should I hurry this way?
Sometimes, many times
I’m focused more on the pay
than the miracles
wonders surrounding me,
the music of the wind in the trees
the beautiful skies,...

This is how it isSoul’s light in heart caged,
by ego upstaged,
when thoughts cease is seen,
mirroring God’s sheen.
Words cannot describe,
zing of bliss beat’s vibe,
cascading within,
playing on our skin.
The slow benign burn
in mind-body urn,
fixates attention
in meditation.
The table is laid
for bliss ready made,
revealing soul’s light,
in heart shining bright....

Hair
As a kid my hair was a very easy fix,
just pull it back with a rubber band into a ponytail.
As a teen a ponytail was not going to work,
off to the hair shop with picture in hand.
I sat in the chair and said,
I want to look like this picture.
I sat dreaming about my great new...

Divine Joy
Wind
whistles
tempting tune,
on air-swept wings
beguiled birds soar high
to seamless sapphire sky
with the fleet of cotton clouds,
design changing silk shapes adrift.
Art shifts on curved canvas of cobalt,
flows as a freedom form with rhythmic joy.
I’m swept by rapture wave surge of nature,
swaying me on swells of solitude,
resounds the music of silence
in pristine precinct of peace
that suffuses my...

TabithaTabitha was a kind and generous spirit and was raised from the dead by the apostle Peter
Read Acts 9:36-43
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Those Tabithas, in my life
soundless souls, easing strife
beyond words, beyond such grace
they bless me with each embrace
those Tabithas, they have a plan
written before the world began
stories written by God, our light
revealing hope that will surely excite

Let's celebrate all Mothers
Those who are poor and are living in huts
Those who are rich with fake eyelids
Those who are small with high heels
Those who are lofty in a giant pair of trousers

renewal continualbreath by breath as we are reborn
we sense soul’s vibrance stretch and yawn
there is nothing we need to do
watching the pulse of bliss renew
kundalini does so endow
grace divine in staid stillness slow
each hue’s new, like the morning dew
watching the pulse of bliss renew
space flickers and time holds its breath
when we imbibe love’s healing meth
