engaging in a practice
suggested by the universe
with which our heart resonates
we yet adhere not to owing to stupor
signals that roots of conditioning go in deep
clearly requiring consciousness correction
which requires constant reaffirmation
until it becomes our reflex response
is that then, a new state of stupor
or blossoming of heart lotus

Thank God for the power to kill
For the power to kill I'm still alive today
Thank God for the power to heal
For the power to heal my friends are still alive today

Sorrow may not suffuse my face,
But daily deeper churns within,
And I would give up all I have
To comb your hair or sponge your skin..
In sudden vivid dreams you come
And reach for me with radiant smile.
Though tight and real is our embrace,
Vague doubts distress me all the while:
These arms that hold me -- are they real?
Behind these kisses, is there breath?
Or are you truly in that land,
That next dimension, we call death?
The clock’s alarm trills on and on
As logic bellows in my head:
She neither knows nor loves nor cares;
Accept the fact that she is dead!
I force myself to glance at where
The small box with your ashes lies.
And then your voice alone rings clear: :
The soul, my darling, never dies!
