In life are seekers

Seeking for the end

Of me..but those

Intermediate goals

Save the day......

accepting intermediate awakenings
be mindful lest pride arise
neither seeking nor anticipating outcomes
embrace each offered surprise...

This one begs for none
No intermediate steps
No introduction
The real inevitable
Raw passion…Unbiased love

Mars is such a long way off
  Flying there could be quite tough
Let's set up intermediate stations
  On each one take long vacations

If we ever get to Mars, then good
  And if not ~ Well, that's Hollywood!...

deeming as intermediate
every offering imbibed
we remain a humble receptor 
to magnetism as it heightens
within this organic form 

humility makes us silent
yet the silence reverberates
with the cosmic hum sublime
so as we so surf the bardo
we willingly burn in body urn...

intermediate awakenings
offer heart delight
which is good
but then
ego hijacks
the understanding 
affirming interpretations 
viewed through mind
thereby distorting
the clear truth
and this is the trap
our presence falls into
so it is back to staid stillness 
where by so becoming 
we shine as the light
of pure awareness 
which we are...

Intermediate truths will do for now,
because we dwell as yet in lower mind
and soul whispers know not how to follow;
conditioned beliefs grip us in their bind
and so for the moment, soul must lay low,
since light of Self is known not to the blind.
Lead us on pastor, for now, words will do,
although deep in our heart, they don’t ring true.

Slow -walking nocturnal steps
around a blank-faced time.

Gained intermediate cloud space.
Rolled over,
watched from inside an electric dial,

eyes within eyes.

Walked on
into a concrete laboratory,
knocked on woke white walls

listened for
the breathless sound
of body-roots breaking through
climbable inches of sky....

Another world another time when you were mine 
A sunny day a breath away when we just met 
Assembled disassembled, you and I were one 

Beautiful moments shared in honesty 
Brave talks that opened hearts and souls 
Birthing love with intermediate breaths we won 

Closeness happened and we found each other 
Closing the curtains we opened every window    
Cajoling kindred spirits, mirroring the self.

Leaping across the leger in groups of four  
Triadic eighth notes danced while half notes slow,  
Take their time beneath, just resting in the score  
Seldom interrupting the lyrical flow. 
Comes an occasional ornamental turn 
In Chopin’s inimitable style, a test, 
For all intermediate students to learn 
Next, because of this prickly teacher’s request.

On this day let your beautiful hear
