lavender stars
sprinkling wisdom
pines rear up
pretending they are taller
nature smiles watching their interchange
loving the snow that completes them

Look Up

The many intersections of life
obscured in complexity
Go left or go right
 to stay or move on

The interchange of salvation
whose overpass eludes us
An escape of transcendence
— most never find

(The New Room: June, 2024)

Premium Member Zen mode

the potent pause
of polarity interchange 
at each breath exhalation
is the void of cessation
signalling ego death

dwelling therein
stretching the pause
in bliss energised stillness 
our eye becomes single
we become the flame


Pause of polarity interchange

Wear a good disguise 
Cross out my eyes
Drown my truth in your lies
While you suffocate my cries
Yet still I will rise
Better look to the skies
Where the Angel flies
For I've become wise
The truth is the prize
And I am your demise

Skies fall, expect the weather change.
Look-see the atmosphere when strange.
Heads-up      for fate’s      rearrange.
Don’t blink, hearken an abrupt change;
For water’s deep…home on the range.
Earth’s       writhing in      interchange.

Premium Member Trapped In the Open, Free Within

Stillness ever present in void of cessation, when polarities interchange; waking to sleeping, dreaming to waking, during the pause of each half breath, divine entwined, thus in ever present stillness. 25-April-2022

Premium Member Zone of Polarity Interchange

Light and darkness swing
Turn by turn they hide
Yet at dawn and dusk
Hues intermingling
They collaborate

Sleep to waking
Gap within change
Void of stillness 
No thought at play

In silence
In the void
No mirror

Then thus
We do

Be

Last Chance

The interchange
of reluctance
waiting in the queue

Permission caught
in temporal probate
affirmation skewed

One last chance
unbegotten freedom
living in between

The will to choose
 nothing left to lose
— as red lights turn to green

(Dreamsleep: June, 2024)

embrace the darkness

for it knows the light

squeeze and hug the clasp

untangle threads of false caress

hold on to the journey

take a seat on the ride

then pull the clutch

release and cuddle up

kiss away lost connection

align shadows and lustre

A Symposium of Feelings

a symposium of feelings
an interchange of emotions 
a discussion of differing opinions 
a collection of alternate points of view
a form for change 
a form for growth
a form for open honest communication 
is what once occurred 
now the lines of communication 
have been severely severed

Pause of Polarity Interchange

I saw plains that stretched far and wide,
	I chased butterflies while laughing into the sky.
My arms stretched as I felt the wind,
	Running fast with no end in sight.
Before I knew it,
	I fell into a river.
This river was in the middle of these plains,
	And so I stopped running and threw rocks instead.

Premium Member In the Vernacular

outlines
        blend
        intermingle
pluralise
validate 
           the faint
           interchange..
to become
   shadow..
     of
        itself-
look
closer
      for the 
      elusive
      inward traits-
shed
      light
          on the laconic
with a woven smile....
inner
      to
           outer
arrayed

Premium Member The Bardo

I look toward the sacred symbol Displaying my ignorance For where is God not Stuporous awareness Oblivious to warning signs Is now consumed by fears created Yet within each half breath cessation When polarities interchange We are in the bardo I notice this lifeline Provided by the universe And meld my consciousness therein 02-June-2023

Premium Member REDEMPTION INTERCHANGE

Hear the Thunder roar
Watch the lightning flash
Darkness through the walk
Listen to the skies
Observe and see the change
Image of transform
Darkness turned to light
Walk by sight but not by mere understanding
Heaven spoken words
Pursue and exchange
Thunder roars again
Lightning flashes once more
Never be misled
Truth being beyond the skies
Walk in knowing and being wise.

Premium Member Fullness In Emptiness

Weeding out our lower aspect, which we in silent contemplation detect, stretching the zone of polarity interchange, in prayerful stillness our core we rearrange, that that our unthinking reflex instinct, suffused with the perfume of love distinct, radiates the divine light, unceasingly through day & night.

Inner and outer
Attain equilibrium
The void magnetised

In the Vapor

Near the belching
condensate tanks
off the interchange,
slinks a mammal
with abnormal need

to find a blind
with water to drink
and flapping fish to eat
instead of concrete.

He sheds a scowl
under the amber glow
of buzzing sodium lamps
until veins gather force
like throbbing tributaries

that course from a source
pure in flexing purpose;
despite how we deprive
he drives to survive.

Interplay

I am interplay; Scottish-Irish
Interchange of loved-up time
With kilt and shamrock soft
And folds of flowing name:

I am he who drew his name in 
Unknown place, where O’ and 
Fitz, Campbell and McDonald
Loved and played their deadly
Game.          I am interplay….

Where for me the distant pipes
And fiddler’s lilt, whisper to my 
Ear, uncertain when to come or
Go and spoil my English sweet
Veneer.
Form: Rhyme

Stymied

Stymied at the cross roads
choices left to be made,
past succumbed to rot and erode
stifled by a loss in trade.
A trickle left in amble
as climates seem to change,
movements toward a scramble
a time to evolve and interchange.

Sins of others selling soul
scurry power to a slower pace
slum-dogs roam out of control
to fill the vacuum and the space.

A slain shroud of refined mystery
confined pages of a mono history!

Premium Member Flame Eternal

Life goes by. What remains of the past is memory, coloured by perception, the perception by conditioning, mired in habit borne stagnation, borne of indulgence in narrow ego cravings. Nothing save the void of eternal stillness cognisable by inner sentience in each pulse polarity interchange, offers lasting tranquil joy.

Images fade away
All that is, is as it is
Flame within our heart

Pause on Polarity Interchange

When man suffers; 
'Fancy' is the call, 
Lacks eternity though---
Restricts the fall.

Dark decorum of life
 Takes down fancy's rhyme,  
Oh, it's not a "deceiving elf"
 Hopefully, all the time.

Blend of colour and truth 
With cultivated dreams
 What more can we call---
Surely a fancy it is!

Love, live and make belief
 It's all to have here; 
 Fancy helps with the rest ---
We rewrite and share!

Premium Member Zen mode

whilst enjoying the immersion
offered in this earth realm dual
enabled by pulsating magnetism 
we dwell in the stillness of the void
at the pause of polarity interchange 
ever present in the life dance underway
and thus nonchalance as our orientation 
we witness the incessant ebb and flow
of life in motion caressing our form
as we so embrace and release 
each pulse cognised by us
celebrating the offering

“within the void of each polarity interchange abiding therein, we imbibe divine stirrings strange” ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The in between stage Just as tumbler falls Sleeping to waking Pristine awareness Centred in the heart Ego asleep At that moment Feel, oh hermit Soundless thunder We may choose Here and now To be thus Silence Reveals Bliss 16-December-2020
