Relinquishing ownership over thought
It exerts on us no hypnotic pull
Ego may have desires but we do not
From head to toe bliss replete, we feel full...

Who Has Ownership

At some point we may have to demand,
To see who has ownership of the land;
May be annoyed
If us they avoid;
Should not stick our head in the sand.

There is no ownership 
in the night
where dreams come and go
alone
we burn the dead like cordwood
and wait for dawn
to summon the authorities

Weed sprouts in my garden
it stays humble, unnoticed
grows together with crops
but suffocates most
then takes over ownership
and it laughed itself dry
when it noticed famine
biting my family...

Tis the way of life's challenge as an adult male,
the prize parts in two fates: flock ownership tethered
innate skills, exiting rights the Bachelor's Herd
as skills tested, foes midst or yond; fail or prevail....

4 bullets over ownership
desecrated uterus
and hands
they aren't mother's

by stuffed bunny toy donated hope
at  child
to whom God has forgotten to make a bed

simply
it makes you less human

awareness oscillates 
so renouncing ownership
resting both mind and senses
presence embraces vibrant stillness 

remaining therein untouched
save by divine magnetism 
as bliss in permanence 
is gently so enabled...

The beauty of nature doesn't allow for ownership
Count your lucky stars, we're all here to witness it
Nature is alive everywhere
The morning sun, the summer air
Say thank you each day for life's membership...

There are secret things.
There are revealed things.

Secret things have:

Time restraints
Locks and keys
Seals and bars
Divine ownership

Revealed things have:

A free flow
A now time
An openness
A releasing...

Father was a fast walker;
hard to catch up.

I am not his own child -
a misbegotten slow one.

A lifetime later
I question just when he claimed
ownership?

If there is any answer
it must wait now
for two graves to catch up....

Heart 
is where
desire stirs
and also where
all such cravings rest.
When soul’s eye sees desire
as stark cause of our stupor, 
we witness form as an object, 
assigning not any ownership, 
thus unshackling consciousness from ego....

Everything "mine" becomes "ours" and then "hers."
Everything "hers" remains her sole possession.
In marriage the ownership line always blurs
And as a mere husband I'd better not question...
Silence can be the best part of discretion.

one thing would have to go. it's a root we all know. we know it well. it's what we are.
society 
lives on it. and it might be hard to take. really it just an idea. to set us apart. the
concept of ownership. 


okay now what did that paper say....

Time moves on
distances separate 
memories water down 
we barely notice
as people come and go.

But then we often find

Sparks of familiarity 
igniting life's essence 
embers branding ownership 
on the edge of awareness 
love never truly dies....

Once committed to memory
the ownership sublime
Entitlement within your thoughts
caught in every line

Deep within your consciousness
intuition’s deed holds fast
Spelling out your right to own
—the only thing that lasts

(The New Room: May, 2023)...

That road that I searched for,
  led me into the words

Their geography inward,
  their ownership heard

All possessions relinquished,
  no teeth left to bite

The journey soft spoken,
  —walking into the light

(Villanova Pennsylvania: May, 2017)...

The need to love and be loved,

to be patented and acquired for belonging

cherished,

relevant,

appreciated,

wanted,

and owned

resumes magnified

plaguing her mind

for comfort

almost

immediately

despite and even after the heartbreak....

Why can man not just be small
And accept as his fate
The small plot of land, sea, sky
That he is given in life

How many bodies strewn about
On a piece of land 
Can make it belong to a country or person
Blood does not mean ownership

If it did 
Who would own your land?...

Mind block, a reminder gentle 
We have no ownership
God shapes us, upon the mantle
Let’s make Him our flagship

Foiled doership does nonplus 
We go where God takes us 
Pointless is ego fuss 

Huge shock
Mind block
