Beseeching the winding path
Sea of swirling black...

Would, I pray—make me equal
Thy works to perform...

I listen to lies
Invisible wind is heard
Silence says no words
People lie without speaking
As I listen, beseeching...

It's time for a dose of disinfectant
Cleaning both house and home as expectant
Someone get the bleach
I plead and beseech
But not in the arm as an injectant...

Jocular jokester jetting past Jib.
Joyful juggernaut jousting in jest.
Benevolent benefactor beseeching baby’s bib.
Bequeathing beloved blue beret, belly button the best....

beseeching hunger
relentless with      your appeal-
THIRSTY for refuge

d i s t o r t e d  passion
hidden beneath a safeguard-
lust becomes     trust LOST

I will lie down in your hearts.
My death will be your awakening.
Beseeching every smile,
I'll stay longer than awhile. 
Amalgamated into morning,
I wrench every life I touch,
Brutalized with love.
Who would have it any other way?...

We saw the barren elm in gray despair
In wet drifting fog, the talons reaching
Nebulous vapor in the slicing air,
Then to disappear, our hearts beseeching
Every emerald leaf to cluster there:
Reappear anew, spring gospels preaching....

  Thanks be given to many things,
  To celebrate the cooked bird within.
  Humbly beseeching the deserts that be,
  Too much for my overstuffed tummy,
  Oh, jess!
  Leftovers for a week!
  What a treat.
  No guess,
  What next I will eat!...

Teaching should be
Engaging and Reaching 
Minds and Hearts
    Not Preaching or Beseeching
    and of course not Screeching
          or Bleaching
          the color out of the Truth
~ For Teaching should be all about 
     helping others seek Truth with their Reaching!...

Don’t lose me in the tide,
Follow me through the dust.
I will rock through heedless waves,
Nocturnally beseeching your dead grandparents.
Die on your new definitions,
Retain the baggage of flesh you’ve dragged
As your own identity.
Just don’t forget to soar like an eagle....

Just like a puppet on a string,
we’re controlled by the puppeteer
but love’s rhythm from our heart does spring,
beseeching God’s light to draw near.

The dreamer and the dreamed now one,
within us glows, light of the sun,
accompanied by a bliss surge,
corresponding to our soul’s urge....

drifting ...
desultory and dour
tossed by a testament tide of
the ocean, mortal -
weary, waterlogged wood
shed in a storm by some mighty oak
intended of grander things
now bare and barkless
smooth, stiff, sullen atop the sea
all those dark, oily devils
drowned in the depths
beseeching me -
"swallow!"...

we observe the dance
the rising and subsiding
and flitting about of thought 
beseeching presence to indulge
that ego induced trance may continue
holding us captive in the mundane
but now we have in us no affinity
so we watch the ego recede
 having no role left to play
except to serve our soul...

Maternal maidens modestly make miracles
Incubating infants into incarnation
Loyally loving laundering life
Completing consciousness crowns, circulating
Fortuitous freedom, forgiving
Enlarged egocentric expulsions
Boundlessly boiling beseeching brothers
Preventing planetary peace
Wisely Worship women with wholeness......

Upon the asphalt sidewalk he lay 
this lonesome drizzly evening
knotted fingers outstretched imploring
for that extra bit of coin
the deep crevices in his face
belying his true age
black beseeching eyes
mirroring darkness and despair
it was not hard to see his plight
what brought him here I wondered 
this bitter October night...

I'm ready for some music;
The radio's all set,
But begging me for money
Is all that I can get.

The pleading is relentless,
Yet does beseeching serve?
For constant supplications
Really get on my last nerve.

To turn off their entreaties,
Subtle as a striking sledge,
I simply switch the station;
No allegiance will I pledge....

Cry of our soul voices a desperate hope,
beseeching presence to gentle flow of thought,
having suffered long, now unable to cope
with plethora of fears, all ego begot,
for our soul wishes now, with love to elope,
radiating divine light, to be self-taught.
Weary soul asks us to shift from head to heart,
for that is where we feel bliss ignition start....

Where they laid my love to rest there are crows -

two sentries standing at the large white cross

which marks his grave. I shout as chill wind blows:

Show me, my Love, how I can bear this loss.

To heaven soar above, dark-feathered birds.

Deliver to him my beseeching words!

Outlandish secrets kept in the night wood like 
Your brothers beseeching nightmares.
Callous and turned, they strode the dusty ground,
Their minds rafting onto peach marmalade,
Tears full with memory,
And listening, with hearts swelling 
Above the earth.
Running with cork guns we pop them all 
And forgive whatever was forgotten 
When rolling in the grass....

Dual fall of the brass.
From the bine, 
from the bliss of flower strength. 
An apparition 
of infiniteness of agony.
Becoming one with failures.

It tends to stay 
and enters the forbidden city 
of endless gods.Me beseeching, imploring 
to remain poor of any treasure.
The mysterious pain 
a trap cannot catch.

Oh,pass on a cloud 
my eyes want to rain.

Martha was busy with food to prepare
as Mary sat so intently aware
     while Jesus was teaching,
     with Martha beseeching,
“Tell her to help me, this labour to share."

Jesus responded, “Martha you worry,
you busy about all in a flurry.
     Mary's offering praise
     with devotional gaze.
She's chosen aright. Abandon the hurry.”

Luke 10.38-42...

Doubts crept
Ever slowly
Inching up my spine
A silent moon
Peered
From behind
Dark clouds

A shadow lingered
On my soul
Temptingly
Tantalizing

A shudder
Cagily
Clenched
My chest
Tore out my heart
Held it
Before the hidden moon

Its thundering longing
Beseeching
The stars of clarity
With a pounding
Ferocity

The moon
Applauding
In an awakening
Sky
