The Shape of Mourning
by Michael R. Burch
The shape of mourning
is an oiled creel
shining with unuse,
the bolt of cold steel
on a locker
shielding memory,
the monthly penance
of flowers,
the annual wake,
the face in the...

Lozenge
by Michael R. Burch
When I was closest to love, it did not seem
real at all, but a thing of such tenuous sweetness
it might dissolve in my mouth
like a lozenge of sugar.
When I held you in...

Transient and therefore necessarily unreal like a...

Organic Gratitude
Monotheists are wrong to aspire toward evangelical control
of fear and anger actions and reactions
in absence of HolySpirit's loving mindfulness
of peace and passion and pleasure,
preforming our transformational intent
as discerned through daily practices
stretching unconditionally warm compassion.
We...

The Dream
The Dream
On it’s final journey – destination – a coma –
realization, a stagnant pool of reflections,
images on fun house mirrors –
surrealistic paintings
upon the walls of times passing,
it’s life diminishing, slowly, upon wings
of a sorrowful,...

Wise Ones
The wise ones work strangely
The wise one is the witch
with the power to entice
but enticement has a positive and a negative trait
one lures to love

Only the individual can make changes
that change his...

Pure Awareness
Pure awareness
Unattached to form
Just IS
As it IS
Complete
But since the awareness wishes
Choicelessly wishes
To engage in movement
It does
Creating matter
And energising it
With a part of itself
Without reducing itself
Or being affected by matter
Though in it, with it
And so
Matter...

Ambedo Amigo
Shifting into silence, letting go of lower mind
Hitherto ego bound attention seems unfettered
We wonder what delightful pastures it will find
Intuitively going where rose petals are scattered
Meditational attention, poised without anticipation
Yet retains in the background a...

Illusion of Separateness
Life's greatest heated human tragedy
the one we are likely taught not to see.
Our wide-ranging worlds are well connected,
as atoms wiggle we're all effected.
Separation is optic illusion
a fitting end to one's soul seclusion.
Gurus say I am...

Space-time creates the illusion of individuality,
a veil fracturing the singular into the appearance of many.
What we perceive as separateness dissolves in truth.
Every thought, action, and being is not...

The Sea of Oneness
The sea of boundless Oneness
Cognised by ascending consciousness
Transitioning to pure awareness
We are as such in stark aloneness
Within deep meditational stillness

The beginning is non thought presence
In humble innocence

The Evolution of Love
The Evolution of Love
by Michael R. Burch
Love among the infinitesimal
flotillas of amoebas is a dance
of transient appendages, wild sails

one headstream as two small, divergent wakes.
Minuscule voyage, love! Upon...
