“The shadow is the greatest teacher for how to come to the light.” — Ram Dass


A spring that never runs dry of life's water
Style is void of people and full of air and matter.
In stillness, there is both blankness and creativity.
Life's sense, love, and do halcyon deeds activity. 

Bearing arrows are drawn toward the center.
Roadwork left the major way bare; don't enter.
Something that is anchored to the ocean floor.
Self-versus-non-self is one of light and core.

In this haze, my plans have gone utterly awry.
A thing uncontrite, not the haze of this day.
Akin to the breeze that blows past given rocks.
I was dreaming over agape running flocks.

A golden avian was singing a tune divine.
The foliage slowly blocked my sunshine.
I held on, and soon I was able to reach the sky.
Despite the bizarre lure of his blooming sway.

In search of light, I split myself from the stem.
Making me opine of being just the same as them.
My stem grew and got strong after it was left.
Due to the roses and lilies in this lush cleft.

Love's voodooism creates an aesthetic rhythm.
The flow of love is a balm for an awful time.
Where did you grasp this grazing, recluse?
Stars gleam with a glorious charm diffuse.

Shadows teach how to reach brightness.
Hope is seeing the light despite the darkness
The brightness within cannot be quenched
Be the candle that can never be drenched.

Eine Andere Art

Eine andere Art
Es ist eine andere Art
der Schönheit, 
wenn mein Finger
über den Bogen deiner Braue fährt.

Dein Ellenbogen zeigt 
mir das versteckte Glück,
das ich schon so oft verloren habe.
Wie ist das Sein in dem Moment, 
wenn ich all die alten Farben in mir vergesse.

Deine Nägel - 
weißt du -
wurden sie für mich gemacht? 
Wenn du Stille mit mir teilst,
komme ich an einen Ort, 
der sich durch das leiseste Flüstern
in mir auszubreiten vermag.

Und wenn deine Augen 
mich dann fragen, 
wie dieser Ort wohl heißen mag, 
dann sagt dir mein Herz, 
dass nur es von dieser namenlosen Schönheit
zu berichten vermag.

Das ist es, was wir brauchen.
Kehren wir der Distanz den Rücken.
Legen wir die Masken ab.
Zusammen!
Für die Wiederbelebung der Liebe.
Zwischen uns! Für uns! Durch uns!

The *****'s Annals

THE *****'S ANNALS:

At the table of verdict was the ***** seated;
Breathing his last before senteced to prison.
Couldn't hide the state of how's feeling;
'Dead zone', he exclaimed as he's highly fronzen.
Every heart of his loved ones really saddened.
Friends and families connived to pull him down for no reason;
Grinded his excellence and burnt down his dignity,
Holistically because he's always winning.
Intricated him to sign a stoical deal they schemed.
Jilt they served him after achieving what they aimed;
Knocked him out from the working team.
Later in years, he's now freed.
Mighty God's replaced all that he lost.
Now his traitors are jailed after right-time's talked.
Openly, he's vindicated in the law court.
Praise and adoration he sings unto God.
Quadrifurcating of this issue's solely to be thonged;
Raised completely for'll to learn not to give out a trust.
Same way staying wise when you've been dass.
Troubles in the suspooks house,
Unable to understand the *****'s acts.
Voice of the visionary's highlighted with an active mind.
Whence, the studious scholar says 'it's a fact'.
X factor positively influencing the *****'s heart.
Yeah, his emancipation is strong and intact.
Zone of proximal development, the *****'s annals abstract.

Premium Member The Toughest Teacher of All

"They are a little rambunctious, " Mr. Pete said. He was a small man, quite wee.
Mr. Dass rolled his eyes, giving me a better perspective, no soap in the sink.
"They  have scared three big, bad male teachers off since September," Mr. Dass told me. 
Both of their faces were almost burgundy red now, they tried hard, bright-eyed, and curiously pink. 
"I would like to try it," I told them. "I'm not easily scared," I said with all of my masterful me.
I ended up teaching the drafting students for three years, we went through gobs of ink.
"This was the most difficult one credit hour class I ever took in my life," one of my charges told me.
Three years into it, and neither Mr. Pete or Mr. Dass had told me this, I gave the student a wink.

Premium Member Love Without a Condition

So many reasons given for love
on why 'I love you' but is that true?
why do we need a reason for it?
many love letters written but what's new

Can we not love yes L-O-V-E
just because that's what we feel
hey do we need to feel to know it
give it your tongue withy a squeal

She loves you yea! yea! yea! Beatles said
knowing it can't be bad but is it really good?
you want to love that's so very indescribable
blows your whole being it doesn't need be nude

This needs a special person no less
where, why or when is the question
well life has the answer out there
so go out to feel love your lesson

Love is such a special feel effect
an explanation beyond your mind
when one senses what it's about
you know for sure love can't be blind


("Unconditional love really exists in each of us. It is part of our deep inner being. It is not so much an active emotion as a state of being. It's not 'I love you' for this or that reason, not 'I love you if you love me.' It's love for no reason, love without an object.")

Erklaere Es Mir Doch

Ich bin der Hund im Schoß deiner Lügen,
liege am Boden eines falschen Bettes,
deine Decke, Schicksal´s seidenes Tuch,
mein Blick glaubt immer noch and dich,
unter deinem Kleid liegen meine Wunder,
welche die Augen von all den Gestern
müde werden ließen.

Meine Nerven vereist, wie unter Eis verschlossen,
wenn ich einbreche, spüre ich die Kälte in Scherben vorbeiziehen,
so sinke ich in dich,
als Wunsch, der nicht zu ändern ist,
warum ist erst am Boden die Liebe zu sehen,
die allen Tauchern die Luft nimmt,
das bleibt als Mysterium,
wohl in uns bestehen.

Ach, ich wünsch´ nur eins,
das Seelen, Gottes Jugend wären,
auch wenn ich weiss, dass es so nicht ist,
so wünsch´ ich´s mir,
denn so wär´ mir alles wohl erklärt

Schoenheit

In diesen Tagen, 
in welchen sich das Grau 
mit dem Dunkel so leicht vermählt,
sollten wir da nicht der Schönheit gedenken?
Wollen wir nicht lieber in Vermutungen schwellen,
die uns sagen, dass jede Schönheit hier auf Erden,
vom Lichte Gottes für uns entsandt wurde?
Rührt es nicht die Seele, sanft darüber zu sinnen,
dass all das Schöne aus seiner Wiege stammte?
Warum verneinen wir es so leicht?
Wie blind lassen wir uns entzweien?
Welch eine Stille muß über uns kommen,
um die Schönheit neu zu greifen?
Was wäre der Regen ohne die Erde?
Wer gäbe ihm Sinn, wenn nicht der Glaube,
dass alles hier seine Bestimmung findet;
im Glauben, in Erwartung,
dass in jedem Weg
das Ziel der Schönheit inne wohnt.

Wer

Wer hat die Welt für unsere Seelen so fremd gemacht?
Wo sind sie hin, die Nächte die uns Verständnis brachten?
Wo die Tage, die Mitgefühl in unsere Gemüter flüsterten?
Wie wussten wir  es, dass jeder Rausch zu Ende geht.
Wie wenig haben wir uns gewehrt?
Nun ist sie da - diese Welt:
Mit Menschen, die einem Schlachtplan gleichen,
stumm und beinah´ ohne Zweifel;
an etwas glauben, das ohne Mitempfindungen
sich als Nächstenliebe tarnt.
Nun sind sie durch Nebensächlichkeiten berauscht
und in der Unwirklichkeit stundenlang zu Haus´.
Ich fragte zu Beginn „Wer hat die Welt für unsere Seelen so fremd gemacht?
Nun weiß ich´s: es waren immer nur wir selbst.
