musings on memory

through the waking, dreaming and deep sleep states
memory offers continuity 
as we weave our way through life’s wispy gates
birthing feeling of perpetuity 

the light of our Self illumines the soul
which in turn enlivens the ego mind
but mavericks any we feel not whole
until we leave fears and desires behind

attuned to Self in cave of heart aflame
life

Moony Musings

Moonlit moonrise over a moony moonshine,
Starry-eyed stargazers beneath a starlit starscape,
Wandering wanderers wander in wonder,
Until fleeting hearts no longer fleetingly flutter

Saturday musings

Saturday musings~~


The
dance of seeming
opponents
which separation
makes apparent~
may suggest the
end of the gold
sought in separation~


Blood
flows apparently
and does not~
without not
the flow is lost~


Nothing
cannot be named
but the naming
of something
may seem
good enough~


Everything
is incalculable 
even something~
consequently
not knowing is
free to know
and not know~


Doing
is the suggestion
for progress~
working on a path
to the better~
it appears that way~


Faulty
are all words
in expressing
the inexpressible~
the prison bars
of confinement
and freedom~


Clockwork
seems

musings in the yard

every blade of grass has a memory
each yellow dandelion has her own song to sing
I marvel at the miracle of the red clover with her circular leaves
purposeful ant marches past my musings, giving me a withering look

Late Night Musings

     Love Poems, Don Juans compose
     Who can't decide 'yes' or 'no', always indisposed 

       Marriage ~ only the bravest of fools propose
      

Musings on dreams

“Self observes waking, dreaming and deep sleep ~
In stillness taking a consciousness leap”
            ~ quote by poet


Relying on instincts in the dream state,
there remains neither logic nor free will,
as we accept therein, our ordained fate,
with no knowledge of our inherent skill.

Perhaps the waking state

Grey Days

Somber light slants through the window.
The sun lazes behind blankets of clouds.
Grey skies are all I see.
A tranquil yet almost uneasy atmosphere
rests over everyone.
No one dares to shrug it off.

Today is a day for soft musing and true thoughts, 
it's sobering and uplifting at the same time.
There will be no more doubts by the end

idle musings

apology from heart with eyes smiling
that ego spawned aberrations be healed 
a simple task yet difficult for some
foolishly frittered is the gift of life
soul deadened to throb of the cosmic hum

recurring musings

recurring musings 
of tropical paradise
coconut lagoon

Majestic Moonlight Musings

underneath 
             the rare 
   glimmer 
              of a 
                  

Pre Easter Musings 2025

In August of year nineteen sixty-eight, 
I was a young healthy man of twenty eight,
and had been told that I had cancer.
God had struck the match that set my fields on fire.
Upon realizing that I could not pay for my sins,
I accepted Jesus Christ as my personal savior.
I acknowledged His death on the cross, on

Paper and Pen Musings

What is poetry but harnessing the thing of grace
that's most dear to us and crave most to embrace

What is poetry but expressions of the heart
when lovers suffer from being torn apart

What is poetry but the voice of pain
the undertaking that keeps you sane

What is poetry but outright fascination
born from godlike power of creation

musings on freedom

how may currents carry us
as long as we choose to resist
which involuntarily we always do
by virtue of identification with form

our striving is volition
cessation too is volition
by virtue of employing will
to execute our heart’s desire

merely thinning out of conditioned ego
though it lets us see through the mist
yet merely wallows in the shallows
by insistence on retaining control

Musings of a Diehard Behaviorist

      What’s on the old mind tonight
       the good old frontal cortex
         the ole gray matter
