Who is GodGod is one being and the all there is,
as one without a second, He is all.
For our mind it’s an unsolvable quiz,
until light of our true Self we recall,
invoking within our heart, a bliss squall.
God is the absolute, who lights all lights;
His vital breath is the touch that delights....

Eternal Praise
Matthew 10:31 “Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows.”
While hearts long for the music of light,
breaking through the silence, frail – discerning
the meaning of grace far truer, grace upon grace
grace for the soul who lingers in despair,
grief poured over her spirit by the winds who dare
to remember the suffering...

Zen modeGod dwells within us, He comes to our aid
Thus there is no doing we need to do
The table is laid for bliss readymade
So in a stream of love and light we wade
Delighted as strobes of rapture renew...

Psalms 35:5
“Let them be as chaff before the wind: and let the angel of the LORD chase them.”

You may offer your insight
You may give all you have
You may inspire and enlighten
You may write the best poem, pray the best prayer
Reach through the crowd to give...

Howling Wilderness
Life can be filled with much love and joy,
what happen when people want to destroy?
We each need to find our place,
in the Howling Wilderness of space.
Away from all the hurt and pain,
where we can rest both body and brain.
We can hear the wild animal sounds,
taking us far from the evil peoples towns....

In Stars Above
What I see in stars above is extremely wearisome,
with useless inane details that I wish I never knew.
Light years, space-time, black holes, big bangs,
myriads of pricks 'n specks a billion miles away - who cares?
I've been over-dubbed, deluded, and robbed,
of the romance, songs, stories,
and delightful spiritual legends
that ancient master star gazers...

Zen modehumble feet and serving hands
entwine as energy bands
bliss pierces body vectors
all nodes willing receptors
there is no doing we do
as rapture does so renew
tip of nose joins the dance
towards whom we shyly glance
such then is our ordained fate
feeling how chakras gyrate
each breath ushering bliss rise
beheld in childlike surprise...

NowruzThe grass has grown, the garden’s bright—
Nowruz has come, a feast of light.
The demon’s tangled, winter hair
has vanished, melted in the air.
Yes, spring returns with scented breeze,
no more the moan of bitter freeze.
Joy has arrived at every door—
love walks with us, alone no more.
Saqi, pour wine and lift this day,
chase all our noisy cares away.
You,...

ARIANOn the Day You Arrived
That day,
when I asked—quietly—
for peace,
a reply came
not in thunder,
but in your breath.
No trumpet.
No sign.
Only your eyes—
new,
open,
like light finding its way
through water.
How can I thank
the kindness that
let you happen here?
You came
already knowing
how to calm a heart
by being held.
We named you Arian,
but the sky had whispered it
once,
softly,
before we did.
And now,
each time I see...

Sipping My Tea
John 8:7
“So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.”
Sipping herbal tea, my mind goes back
to the time when you said to me…
… let him without sin, cast the first stone…
The memory trembles in me,...

Boyhood DreamsA wellspring of
Eternal joy
Unfolds within
A little boy
He schemes and
Dreams in
Fantasies
Things no man
Could ever be
But somewhere in
His youthful eye
The boy must know
The man will die
