Long Percolation Poems

Early morning, slightly subdued, a drawn out yawn reflecting my mood, 

slope to the kettle, body distorted by its metallic curves, amuse myself for a 
while, infusing with herbs, 

while my head changes shapes, prepare...

both within and without
the image reflected,
the Supreme Self exists
both within and without the body”

both within and without a jar,

This world is filled with lies, deceit, and corruption
There are too many images of violence and destruction
As panic fills the beleaguered atmosphere
Everyone can sense fear
Right now I'm thinking of sorrow 
I believe there's still hope...

Awaking from Stupor 1-16-24

It's not desire per say but the clinging
That stifles soul and stops heart from singing
Enlivening silence sets our souls free
Vibrant in the now, joyful and carefree.

Stretching our inner silence, grazed by tender bliss touch divine
We sense the osmotic percolation of a heavenly perfume
Fragrance sublime, to which no label we may assign
Is the magic within, how our heart lotus blooms

Love touch tender, leaves no hearts asunder
Fragrance enabling our souls expansion 
Asks no questions; is itself the answer
An osmotic bliss throb percolation

Aliveness innate, in playful caper
Embracing all, without hesitation

November Hunt
David J Walker

I drink coffee
 in the morning and
	I’m grateful for the warm flowing
Of Rich and bitter/black liquid from
The cast-iron percolation jukebox 
Perched on the edges of a dancing 
Mesquite campfire 

A flame addressing...

who teach creative
writing at the

Doing what we do as a doer, we tend to sway 
Owing to lower ego urges thus interfering
Knowing seeing is believing, as scriptures say
Becoming by non-doing, presence free flowing

Delighting in myriad hues of love manifest
Vivifying...

Love dripping
Gently seeping
Into each pore
Keeping no score
Slow percolation
Arousing compassion

In our heart
Now all one, none apart 
Was it this way
In earlier days
Perhaps not
Yet if we forgot

Once upon a time
When misaligned
We were head centric
Irritable & eccentric
Now to...

Touch of delight, throbbing from deep within
The purring, humming rapture ignition
Vivifies our form through each day and night
We sense our luminescence shining bright
Bestowed by rod of initiation

Magnetic currents deep percolation
Bubbling in peaked continuation 
Being-ness from...

Upon internalising attention
The amplitude of oscillations slow
We sense an osmotic percolation
A fragrance divine, making our heart glow

As radiance of magnetism heightens
Combined with elixir of vibhuti 
Our auric field, magically brightens
Essence of presence in serenity

Mind body...

This morning in Aleppo
Was bloodshed
Gunshots, RPGs,
Bomb blast
Like the achaba suicide bomber
Of Kaduna
A little boy I Syria is running
To escape the shrapnel of 
The shooter’s shells and mortars
A disillusioned almajiri is planting
Local explosives in a church
Somewhere...

Stone winds are all in place
Filling entire surreal space
They are as if by divine grace
The mind they have in embrace

By stone winds number soul percolates through abyss
From there it continues to percolate until it reaches...
