a lavender aroma
elegiac

Longing to belong

Naturally beautiful
Their trunks and tusks

at the entrance
to Heaven
here on Earth
unlock
her gates
narrow alleyways
the arteries
rushing to
Jerusalem's

Solipsism
Appears as
An expansive
Thought of "me"
The separate me..
Saying:
Me is all
Is everything..
Some spiritual paths
Seem to find this
Solipsism trap......

You're a mere player
And the world your expansive field,
And hardly are there
Any golden rules, dude;
Your moves let your instincts drive
And your zeal your mind revive!...

Even though they have wings
Emu’s can’t fly. Hens lay
Emerald-green eggs in
Expansive leaf lined nests.
Each emu egg would make
Enormous omelets
Envisage eating that!...

And the world your expansive field,
And hardly are found anywhere there
Any golden rules, dude;
Your moves let your instincts drive,
And your zeal your mind revive!...

sky shape
majestic steed
feathered wings soar the heavens
expansive sea of midnight cast
where mystic dreams take flight

Romp and Stomp On Swamp

What they have done to expansive swamp,
Is to jump right on it and then really romp;
Water squish,
With anguish;
Others have been doing Stonybrook stomp.

Queen of hearts
Jack of trades

Zero cards on table
as the world is overturned

suspended in air
expansive city in silver tones
bedecked with jewels

Saints on board

Sans Mask
                   I live with my expansive heart ...
                   So I remember

The black expansive depths, I plumb,

Over blue marble, the sea of suns,

Under a tapestry, dripping bright,

Canticle written on endless night,

Heaven, touch of the ages, come....

meditative
muses
                  assert
                  expansive
graduations
of coloured
                    feelings
                    erupting
within
emotions
                   intuitive
                   expression...

Their expansive views, high-rode with
Of itself, a world inform.
Calm looked on genius of flight;
Jolted about in a storm!

"Hello down there" faerie-obscure
To whom by shops interact.
Trivial, paltry possessors of life;
And oh so matter-of-fact....

She is afraid of suspect spaces,
with sparse starlight, ancient arches,
abyss-steps, swinging lanterns &

comforted by a moonlit garden,
an expansive sky of navy blue,
glitter-stars in an elocutionary’s box.

Quelling the storm

When we break out
From the illusion of separation
To recognize our Identity which
Exceeds birth and death..
We can then experience the
Dance of mind and world
As spontaneous dreams arising
In our expansive Identity..
This is liberation
A quelling of the storm......

I thrill to yellow platters of iris against Spring black blue skies,
I am moonstruck by their essence and reflection in Nature's eyes. 
For their secret night cooling breeze.
I long to draw in their perfumy breath and blow it from me
Emeralding around their friends’ night symphonies.
And send it to you with my love....

there's a place I look for
the only shadows from trees
open windows and doors
you on the other side

there's a place I look for
where the sun is your smile
the stars are your eyes
expansive sky the limits of your love

there's a place I look for
a place in your thoughts
a place in your soul
a place in your heart...
