God speaks to me
I listen with my ear to the ground
It's my heart beat beating fast....

With an ear to the ground
The thunder of a thousand poets
Exclaims in perfect confession
Centuries of unadulterated bliss
Of written words,
Of sounding-words,
Of the heart bowed down....

A Poem 
Lost or found
Make no sound
Ear to the ground
Crisp and thin 
Or heartfelt soft 
A waterfall of words
Tumbling from the sky
Clouds spinning by
Grasp the sense 
Or lose the bait
The poem as always

my eyes along the skyline

Waiting for a signal,
the past to throw a bone

Putting my best foot forward
shoulder to the wheel
nose to the grindstone
my Achilles heel
while sticking my neck out

the bliss beat is real
vivid and vivifying
and yet a gift
for us alone

we cannot transfer
this sublime elixir
but can affirm
God is truth

receptive to light 
each has seen

gently holding hands
held firm with love
heart celebrates
every breath

as for the unconscious 
who are yet asleep
we wait patiently 
till they awake

love employs no force
whilst radiating light
this is God’s way
thus so be it...
