choking breath
fears and desires

Worn from time, gentling peace, prayers,
Erasing darkness, light prepares
Hearts, souls, for the nearing embrace
Joyful hope, beyond present grace,
Ancient word reveals Jesus’ heirs.

lavender ideas
gentling summer’s gentle rain

baby blue feelings
wafting into dreams of hope

soft baby pink 
showing her power

lightest green moth
floating on a faerie’s wing

sunlight yellow
completing the rainbow...

blissful in inner silence
thus appearing withdrawn
the monk is oft misunderstood
since his attention is internalised

yet noticing the world's response
from time to time he surfaces
mindfully gentling his touch
in nonchalant playfulness

True and kindly traipsing, remembering heartfelt sadness, life lessons,
open hope, visualizing daughter, uplifting the faeries, gentling them

Spring
vibrant, lively
gracing, praying, gratifying
flowers, sunshine, leaves, legends
gentling, kissing, breathing
crisp, faithful

Gentling time barnacles claiming pews some fifty fathoms down 
chancel aisles naves resting ghostly new congregation comedown

almost heard by those above

Muffled a tolling bell below 
faithful call not so long ago

Gods churning black oceans will not cease
god please grant to them heavenly peace...

Discovered in the soul,
Silent breathes of light and love, dancing in shadows, 
Who console.

Gentling the night,
Glistening rhymes poets compose,
Insight.

Desires,
Beautiful prose,
Fires.

Discovered in the soul,
Glistening rhymes poets compose,
Fires.

doing nothing save celebrating
pulse of innate aliveness 
we are astonished
a path appears
upon which we tread
revitalising heart’s intent
aligned with God consciousness 

an oxymoron
for God alone is
as seen so known
yet feeling separate
we surf the waves
gentling heart
vaporising

a milky sky, bright
whispers of robin’s egg blue
caressed by the light

spring showers, raining
down on the tender flowers
gentling eyes with charm

fresh and fulfilling
breathing fragrant surrender
hues of lemon sun

the Guru chakra throbs steadily
reassuring heart and gentling mind
soma nectar trickles, pheromones mingle
our pristine presence is with existence aligned

the vertical magnetic grid, over front and back
petal by petal, unveils its beauteous hues
all soul does is witness the unfoldment 
bliss the flavour of our heart’s muse...

Feel the sun closing in, rustling
Throaty laughter, whispers of light
Caressing my breath, gentling
Blushing kisses, wonders of birdsong
Crooning, reflecting the psalms
On wings of azure, crimson, sable
Just August… silencing the summer

enslaved by three spells 
walls of a pyramid 
waking, dreaming, deep sleep
we do in each state as bid

it is when we are awake 
that we grace limited free will
gentling therein our responses
voids of stuporous awareness fill

mindful then in the now continuum 
inhaling grace, exhaling gratitude 
we allow silence to reshape
our transformed attitude...

Flowers
Gentling springtime
Breathing laughter, sunlight
Reflecting wonders, completing
Heaven’s joy, uplifting, silencing stars
Twinkling across the sapphire skies
Shining down promises
Fetching the spring
Flowers

Thinning out of ego, till it drops away,
is the steadfast practice, in which we engage,
discarding all concepts, so we cease to sway,
gentling responses, thus turning a new page,
nonchalantly treating earth life as mere play,
igniting divine bliss, in mind-body cage,
whence bilocating between form and vast space,
of our feral past, there then remains no trace....
