Short Solidity Poems

do we feel the breeze 
or solidity of earth
with gratitude 
and trust

each breath 
a gift from God
did we say ‘thank you’

Barriers cracked and chipped with age
Once standing firm now tremble in rage.
To regain the solidity once defined
That now lies uncertain, its’ strength resigned....

negating our solidity
we wish to vaporise
wherefrom comes the pull
that propels us to feel full
what a joyride
with God inside
as silence layers silence
in a rapture continuum

putridity rhymes with acridity
  for the same reason that
tumidity rhymes with turgidity

and tepidity is to vapidity
  as solidity is to rigidity
'course, all this has no validity
  ~ 'til they check my lucidity...

Colors of wind blow, scents I breathe in follow
Strong winds rushing below, under my body they flow
Soft blows circle around me, gentle breeze mesmerize me
Shades of wind complement day and night, 
their beauty and solidity keep me bright!...

Wonderful

And threatening

Those stories

Of wholeness

Appearing

Without the

Solidity and 

Certainty of

You or me..

Which as the

Story goes on

Was never

Not this way..

A threatening

Wonder 

Leaving us

Seemingly

On edge..!!...

Your beauty is transparent 
Your voice serenades solace 
Your spirit is the wind
Your oxygen keeps me breathing
Your skin is of honey   
Your ruby red lips show off your cool-aid smile 
Your solidity amazes me
Your curvaceous body intrigues my thoughts
Your eyes capture heaven
Your love defies logic...

Be optimistic rather than fatalistic.
Don't squander and be elated hedonistic.

Retain moving; only the obdurate survive.
Hand jives your way to contrive.

Slump or solidity must be omitted. 
Wear awe mood when having moved. 

Don't be shy in taking elitism.
Self-reliance is a wedge of realism....

Water beneath bridges is always made to move 
below the penumbra of our blessed moon. 
She flows freely through the mouth of its enclave  
taking with her every notion of solidity; 
I stand here firm as a rock watching her pour herself out 
she slows my senses as she extinguishes my 
burning thoughts, and makes me think of  
Superman !...

On the cusp of a stranded daze
a chance is born
Straddling each strand of 
a falling raindrop
Accompanying its fate a crust 
soon forms
Wavering from solidity
to pangs
The eyes shut in reverence of
a faintly gaze
That renders all chances unseen
In the dazzling array of sight
two tears reverse
In the swelling cloud of woe
true treasures ply...

PEARL

Invested with iridescence
Calcium carbonate could impersonate
And subvert solemn  daylight.

In the indifferent ocean
Oysters copulate with future
And  grow gravid in nature.

Begetting a rare solidity
Befitting a miniscule masterpiece
Which is just happenstance

For a huge price, this prised-out gift.

I grew up with solidity in my safety. 
I would say no to drugs.
Look both ways when crossing the street.
Practice stranger danger.
I was a smart child.
I knew my rights from wrongs, until wrong reached out its hands and grabbed mine.
The hand of a child, a father, a man, a woman. 
Took the hand of a human born sinless.
The hand of a saint not yet tainted....

Solidity

Separation insists
on our fleshly solidity
and fragmentary lives..
Perception daily strengthen
the confining argument..
We wish for transparency..for melting..
And search for relief
in idolatrous ways..
Until--
Transparency is experienced
as the real self
melting away the too solid flesh
which had convinced
our discomfort
all those years......

RARELY 
I WRITE MY NAME IN FULL
IT WOULD APPEAR 
OF ME 
TO BE 
POMPOUS AND PRETENTIOUS 
TO DO SO

FOR THEN WHEN YOUNG
I SAW
MY NAME IN PRINT
RUDOLPH JON RINALDI
HAD THE SYMMETRY AND POWER 
Of A NEW SHINNY AIRPLANE PROPELLER PROP
BUT THAT WAS THEN
WHEN I WAS YOUNG
 
AND NOW IN AGE  
IT SEEMS 
TO BE
OF ME 
TO HAVE
THE BEAUTY AND SOLIDITY 
OF AN OLD ASS...

The build of time and space,
the workings of suns and worlds. 
The vastness of creative mind,
the depth of the empathic heart.
To spread the light to far corners,
the urge of life travels the cosmos.
Illusions of the structure become,
the solidity of every true thought.
How powerful is the grand ruler,
to turn the loneliness into love,
and invite the entire universe?!...

"there is only what is happening"

this is the teaching;
what the senses sense
NOW
is the whole shebang..

 happening dissolves
the solidity of our
persistent illusion..

happening 
not a noun..but a verb:
the momentary dancing
of experience..

seemingly
entering and departing
what is known as
Awareness..

More..
happening is
what we are:
Awareness dancing......

JOURNAL
The Last Few – I

This piece of
solidity
Sitting atop a
transparent world,
See-through only
because
Stability seems
fixed 

Head back    trying
to think,
A sense of blood
pumping,
A flash that cups
the hands.
The last few will be
searching

When one cannot
understand life
Then one goes
within, 
Within where absence
softens.
Yet    even then   
stiffness remains...

To begin with
Solidity is a mental illusion
The world always had its holes in it
We have no end, only confusion
Change always is indeterminate
O, but where did we begin again
Don't you see
The beginning was just the effect
Of the preceding cause
So now you agree we met before
That was tomorrow
But I cannot remember what you will be
Memory has a hole in it
And the pass is falling out
Like stars, one by one....

Endless Love

Until the edge of doom
endless love remains
there is no boundary
nor line drawn
demacation is absent
true feelings present
no due date
it's only love
doubtless love
certainty
real conviction
of love
sourced from a true heart
real foundation
like a fixed rock
secured
firm
steady 
and ready 
to remain still
unshaken love
a complete solidity 
of endless love.

You were the epitome of strength and solidity
The whole world you brightened, not just mine
Your stories were told with unmatched lucidity
Though the laughter and fear would entwine
We all saw, we all knew the worst could come
But you smothered the pain with a smile each day
You called me beautiful, gave me courage and then some,
But no amount of courage could make you stay.

I’m broken. My heart hurts. Goodbye....

Holding hands soothes away a lot of hurts,
It gives the weak strength and courage,
The gesture of being conected creates
comaraderie,

Hand Holding suggests unity that cannot
be broken, by unkind words or segregation,
It exemplifies solidity, closeness and tenacity,

Gentle hands can help overcome adversity,
In the middle of nervousness and fear,
It is comforting to know that genuine kind hands are
always there........

The yard appears larger, longer,
now the car has gone,
a wide and seemingly
meaningless space,
bare and insignificant.
And yet our yard has presence:
our yard, a part of this home,
a gate at one boundary,
a hedge at another,
a workshop wall on the other side,
structures with texture and solidity,
extension in space
and presence in time.
It is there, the yard.
It has never changed, it is the same, 
although the car has gone....

A glimpse out the window morphs into a gaze
Brugmansia, your mystical delicate beauty clears
Air conditioned stupor. There you sway
Gracefully grasping toward thirst-quenched solidity.  
Firmly rooted one strand beyond limp susceptibility
Leaves randomly ragged from young rodents' teething
Swelteringly bearing the dark side of nature
Fresh blossoms emanate dignity's essence
Despite gloomy doomsday predictions
Angel trumpeting goodness and peace....
