Long Call to mind Poems

Compassion co-arises nondually 
internal-external.

Today I want to talk about possibilities
for integral polycultural dynamics,
which are systemic relationships,
correlations,
between LeftBrain deductive ego-mind,
RightBrain inductive eco-body,
and a boundary between these bicameral landscapes,
which we call unconsciousness.

The feasibility
and health value
of recognizing this...

Of late I find myself talking at length 
to my dog – just “puppy talk” at first.
Then with a more grown-up vocabulary
 
most doting dog-owners use – and nothing 
beyond a dog’s mental grasp, depending...

to my dog – just “puppy talk” at first.

You say you used to dream but now you’re old
and have no more dreams in you?
and you say you have no more gas in the trunk?
that life has not been good to you

That your arthritis...

2, 000 people in this God forsaken crest of a town
Am I the only one to keep the balance
To count the half second before midnight
To bring philosophy to a women's monthly
And call it quits
You don't...

These nightmares feel real, like I’ve been here before,
I must be stuck in a phantasm of visionary abhor.
It was when my eyes closed that I knew this was an illusion, 
now I’m tortured by this...

A Dark Fairytale

As I was chained, I breathe in.
As I was burned, I breathe out.
As I was cut, I looked down.
As I was broken, I looked up.
As I was destroyed, I closed away.
I had killed...

An overwhelming feeling of fulfillment

As if I'd searched the exterior of mother earth for all eternity,

Finally reaching the core

And there he stands

He is love!

Employing every ingenious piece of man made apparatus I could obtain.

Attempting to...

Again these men comes to mind,
Paid to say yes and nay,
Lame duck,

Canker, queer rapscallion minds
Incorrigible,
Political impostors detached from the humdrum of street cries
Maggots in honor
Damp squib temples of legislators
Dishonorable honorable,
Rotund circles of rascals
Fellows fit for...

Often times, seconds are seemingly so long that you feel stuck in a clock that never tics away. 
The once little tics you would hear have now stopped. Time slows down as you stare into...

In the southern states, a mighty carpet is seen;
Fences, trees, and light poles, all covered with green.
Looks rather pretty, until you call to mind,
This all-concealing weed is the Kudzoe vine.
Brought from Japan several decades ago
(No...

My head won't stop! It's going to pop,
Trying to figure out what's right & what's not 
I want him to have a perfect life,
Perfect woman, perfect wife
He choose me to be her, not someone else...

I call to mind our nights till dawn
Watching the sunrise
Beautiful was that ocean of gold sky
We looked into each others eyes with love

Our future was a lovely rose unfolding
We had many wonderful dreams
Our life's had...

A vibrant me who vowed the Vienna we would visit on vacation
And share the...

CHARLIE MAC,

I remember as a little girl how you would come by in your antique car and take me for a ride.  My remembrance is when you buck your eyes to say you something...

MYSTERY       OCEAN

The soft arms, the caring eyes  - it’s easily possible
To find something of you that is tangible.
In an ocean unknowably deep and vast
Sailors will  find a...

A cluttered barbershop in my old hometown I fondly call to mind,
Was a gathering place to loaf and socialize, a great place to unwind!
Harry, the barber, kept farmers, the local rabble and boys like me,
Looking...

misery
should be renamed life
because i know
it's the way i live
stuck under a black cloud
struck with mourning and grief
deep feelings
wrapped in a blanket
that should comfort
but only burns
in the deepest well
with ungranted wishes
hope and faith
that's been demolished
what...

Light green leaves, wineberries on brown stems grow in New Zealand's native bush
Sally drinks a glass of red wine each night laughing
Forest of tall trees awesome in their backyard
The mystery beyond an endless river chasing...

In that hidden mystery I call my mind;
There are places I seldom go;
It’s in these places that my soul often cries out;
Perhaps in likening to the wolf that howls to the moon

May you call to mind cherished lullaby, or prayer,
something tried and true, when it seems no one is there.
Sound and reason, oft times, circumvent the ear
when the shadows drown to expose our every fear.

May you...

Searching


I fly through my mind looking for the perfect picture,
But all the images I create are saved for later.
A memory of a film that does not go with this poem;
A thought about a thing, that...

I found a piece of him the other day
Bound tightly within the parchment of time
Tied with a string of purposeful forgetting
Buried under years of mixed intentions

I hadn't gone searching for him
I don't have much use...

The stories they wrote are long gone.
Some hearts will never call to mind the rules, 
while others know nothing of their existence.

Twelve, the chosen, 
but few told the story of redemption;
they forfeited common lives for...
