On a vacant field

A red fox meditates

A hawk circles

A squirrel rolls the dice

A school bus passes

An old man...

red tailed hawk
suspended
suddenly
swoops setting sun

one legged,
heron meditates
gulps

In the darkness, is where the light hides

the quiet soul meditates in the silence

of his thoughts. 

Only to shine when revealed in Words;

and only comes to pass when spoken....

He meditates under the Bodhi tree 
like Gautama Buddha; his mind so free.

My hurt heart is soothed beneath
dewy, emerald 
canopies

where pebbly pathways wind
around a shaded fountain 
of peace.

A lotus pond meditates here.
A busy birdbath frolics 
there.

Ah, what soft, serene solace,
light as a feather my 
soul is!...

A lady of the earth
Herbs candles and rebirth
All is good
All is well
Oils and incense
A healing smell
Sage brush burning
 to cleanse her home
in her yard
resides a gnome
fairies crystals
and beautiful flowers
she meditates 
for many hours
love and light and 
blessed be
this is what
she wishes for thee...

PASSIVITY
looking
 passing through
an idealised
alternative
 sensibiliy
meditates
on the
entirety
a
denial
of
a
 discernble
imposition

diverse
 constraints
in
the
 rigorous
 recognition
 of the literal
 possibility
 of insight

such
a
 reflective
stumulation
in
a considered
framework
both
authentic & justified...

Dreams are desires hidden 
Deep in our soul 
Our minds meditates with our hearts 
All kinds of things run through our mind 
While we're asleep 
Or just going along the way 
Everyday we are led and fed by our dreams 
Our dreams give us purpose for each day 
As we go along our day 
Dreams keeps us clear for what's near 
Dreams guide us through 
The calmness of our minds...

Cherished Angel
A cherished angel with a golden heart
Your wings spread wide apart
So sweet, kind, gentle, loving and caring
With a serene personality, so glaring
  
Your beauty captivates
Your mind meditates
Before I go to bed
I see visions of you  
 
Your spirit soars like a butterfly
As we journey through paradise
With the warmth of a dove
Your heart shows pure love

And I listen to some old Leonard Cohen
And my conscious mind
listens for footsteps
And my subconscious meditates
And universes are formed
in the infinite multiverse
And others are destroyed,
some through collision,
some through internal combustion,
And some go to war with one another,
culminating in mutual extinction
And I smoke fast
And I pray not to hear footsteps
enter into my universe....

Rose quartz reposes
in peridot buds
Jade trees dangle
Ruby Reds
Unafraid 
lapis jays swoop
on a topaz cat
with emerald eyes
lazing
under a citrine sun 
Amethyst iris preen
through amber rays
of afternoon 
the shadow 
of a moon stone
whispering
behind an aquamarine sky
A silent pool meditates
in turquoise

I
The man said, we are treated as children
By almost every tradition and religion
As with goblin, gargoyle, fairy stories 
Socialized into fearfulness: losing memories, lives -

II
Jesus taught, "I have overcome!" Recall His Resurrection:
O death, where is your sting, O "sin" where is condemnation?
Whether one meditates on space, or my beloved "Sky-ness"
Humble gurus you prefer, Pursue Peace (Shalom of Jesus)...

Ode to Life before and after the Lotus

Just a flower soon to wilt gone back to the soil
‘who are you when men and women rule the world?’

‘I am beauty, a sacred Lotus and hold the spirit of
wisdom intelligence and knowledge. My center is
partially open for awakening of your lonely heart’.

‘Joy, beautiful spark of divinity’ meditates through
lost journeys when you pause to look at the flowers.

F- Food and plethora of it

R- Rights, inherited from God,
    both given and blessed

    know the value of me

E- Educated enough to know
    the face of tyranny

D- Designed as were all by
    a Divine Deity

O- Omniscient, I am not, nor
    pretend to be

M- Meditates on gratitude and 
     love of country

My thoughts halt at your lips
beyond lies your silence
to start a voyage in snowy dialogues
to find a meaning of futile life
and trash of the myths.

Our entwined life has chosen
consolation of past,
We are still alive
kicking and reveling.

A shadow imitates the God
meditates under the unyielding tree.
The fugitive may find some greatness
in insult.
The vastness of loneliness
ultimately takes over.    



SATISH VERMA...

You think too much.
Brain stains are left on your skin,
it is now mottled with thought.

From moment to moment
your mind is a tumbleweed,
then a blundering tank
rolling over boxes of kittens.
Silence is your kryptonite.

Your house is a jumble
of intellectual clutter,
open books flutter weakly
piled high on chairs and table.

Some admire your erudite astuteness,
but you wife considers you mad,

as she, in her own quite place,
meditates upon emptiness.

HAIKU

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

a song is sung
harvest harvested… all done
the music plays on
~
dance over
fields naked… gave their all
sustenance
~
cupid meditates
shooting arrows at random
who knows their fate
~
love is in the air
cupids arrows everywhere
run for your wife*
~
harvest gathered… done
the words painted harvest gold
the story told

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~#

* To the reader, substitute wife with man if need be....

Mystic moves magic
Knock knows kinetic


Living laughter leaps
Steady streamy seep


Touchy telling treats
Groovy glimpses greet


Primal posture peace
Lavish lasting lease


Dazzle dreamy dance
Cosmic changing chance


Wonder whispers write
Cheery charming cite


Mind meditates more
Cluster constant core


Leapfrog lasting lure
Crafting cautious core


Happy healthy heart
Sensuous sanguine start

Train of this death has no stoppage
Running ceaselessly creating a maze

Day after day the life sunlight as if fading away
Winter to summer world life is withered in dead bay

I bathe the poems body to save from the infected virus
Yet in this pandemic weather the poetic words feel fuss

Come with powerful poem, seize the train of death, change it into the light of life
But how? Poetry meditates in five elements of creations as vaccines hive

The roaring ocean waves this evening
Hit hard that big smooth rock on the beach
And when the waves return, the seabirds land again on the rock
With the roar of the sea and the repeated flight of birds and their return to the rock 
On the other side of the sea the light red sun hugs the silver sea surface
Only the poet in this very cold weather stands on the coast
He looks and looks at the sky and the water right and left,
And meditates
misses the summer,
and the moon
And …
