Short Subsiding Poems

Subsiding currents,
Caressing the edge of land:
Peaceful evening surge....

thoughts are rested
what’s left is sensation
rising and subsiding
centred in emptiness...

Ascending on my own
Lamenting positively while no one's around
Orbiting and subsiding
Negotiating with my imaginary ghosts
Eager to reach my goals...

Flora and fauna are in hiding.
No life stirs to do the day's biding.
	Feisty dog days are back
	in violent attack!
No sign of humid heat subsiding!...

Start fighting 
All the lying
Truth sliding
Go hiding
Relationship dying
Who is siding?
People driving
Away goes trying
Pain subsiding
Permanently underlying
No more crying
Inside sighing...

Condescending heights banish fast
mirrored nature, underestimates
pure beauty exposed by its past
still clarity anticipates,
awaiting the circle of life-
subsiding essence, cut with a knife....

midst autumn flowers
dawning drying subsiding
bulbs are browning

~

so passes summer
cool breeze winds are so calling
falls autumn flowers

never thought that it could be this wet
the rain coming down is my pain softly subsiding
you supply the umbrella
i supply the proper respect
we cooperate with a renewed positive energy
never thought our consummation would be so set...

We all have goals, pursue them
Wherever the place, arrive
Time is never on your side
Things happen, knowing not why
Crescendo always subsiding
Our lives keep on dividing
Without pause, always carry on
To listen, you hear it all
Take heed; stand, not fall...

Mosquitoes subsiding
we torque the last nut
air it up
check the pressure
and gently replace the wheel cover.

Drenched in sweat
with bumpy skin having 

satiated the skeeters

we drive off into the sunset
to test our work.

It works!
So do we.

by resisting the urge 
to satisfy an itch
we employ will
simply to assert
that soul presence
is the command centre

extrapolating thus
we observe the play
of thought form waves
arising and subsiding
within organic form
which we ensoul

centred in the void
we are always free...

Somewhere along the way
Lies sadness in delight
Inside of, alive within
Not to ever really tell
Why my path led me here
But I remember arriving
Night lived much longer
Than daylight breathing
Darkness sprang to life
The sun eased its grasp
Commotion now subsiding
Resting as a moon glows...

Two doves peck, quietly
Silence - splitting serenity
Two slices of inspiring joy
Reminding my spirit – sensing
Grief subsiding in hues of light
Sun reflecting heart’s healing

the time for write to subside
 reason may be divine

for i hav no desire to rythm
for some part I die

moments of silence
 plays now some common sense

im trying to concentrate
lost i procrasinate

for time falls in place
dont know what the case
 
in time will tell
for this season of dwell...

sans volition
attentively noticing
the rising and subsiding
of thoughts and sensations
within this body-mind apparatus
void-centric awareness remains still
poised in an equipoise continuum 
as the screen of consciousness 
alive in the field of singularity 
imbibing and assimilating 
offerings of earth life...

we observe the dance
the rising and subsiding
and flitting about of thought 
beseeching presence to indulge
that ego induced trance may continue
holding us captive in the mundane
but now we have in us no affinity
so we watch the ego recede
 having no role left to play
except to serve our soul...

The sky sheds tears and rain drops fall.
The pleasant sound of subsiding rain
each drop an offering from heaven.
Each drop creates the perfect circle
A Lilliputian  tsunami  created from just rain.
Natures metronome in over drive 
drip drop drip drop 
the  ticking of natures life clock. 
Each drop recycled tears of all the sadness done on earth....

Gentle and loving heart is all.

It tames the stormy days’ wildness toll,
Subsiding the seemingly incomprehensible 
Unfairness of the wild world numb contretemps.

Yet

It flames the homely wee joy, 
Intensifying the nitty-gritty fathomably
Gift of everyday serendipity godsend-- 
And only when 
the gentle and loving hearts (under)stand.

heartbreaks 
soul aches 
they teach us
impermanence 
thereby correcting
our orientation 
to be void centric
moment by moment
breath by breath
embracing and releasing
the rising and subsiding
of waves of emotion
as they ebb and flow
that we finally get to 
vibrant nonchalance 
in a mood celebratory 
flowing through life
leaving no residue

simply observing waves
arising and subsiding
we feel God’s presence
within each pulse hiding

lower mind is rested
so no meanings are assigned
to play of life in motion
by soul’s eye divined

as the vital force
benign bliss magnetism 
we witness all refractions
in body-mind prism

thus as both this and that
in time our heart is thawed
our soul lotus blossoms
upon giving love our nod...

have you ever felt 
the drum
the hum
of your mind slipping way
like a thousand voices
talking at once
and all you want to do
is fold up and cry
and the silence strikes
at the same time
a wight sits on you chest
trying to stop your breathing
and you dream of
crawling in a hole and dieing 
still you stand up
and fight the tears
everything subsiding
knowing your just have to do it again...

Do you know what I’m describing?
I’ll give you three clues.


It pitter-patters on the roof
Forms a rainbow that’s the truth.


Do you know what I’m describing?
Umbrellas are what it’s prescribing.


It’s falling, falling from the sky
And makes it hard to stay dry.


Do you know what I’m describing?
It’s the rain and it’s subsiding.


Rain, rain went away
Will it come another day?...

This life we live in, is a never ending dream.
It's not what it seems, it's not what it seems. 



Consciousness gliding, when pains all but subsiding. 
Cognition of the decisions we've taken and weaved.

 
Quick, swift and slick, resolution sets in. 
The calm settles in. The calm settles in. 


Tides of rest are flowing, my heart's pound is going. 
Ambition is winning, and a new start to begin....

The heat.
The ache.
It comes in waves like the sea. 
Tears ebb and flow and the swollen heat in my chest rises and falls.
Flames licking my ribcage and dancing up my spine.
Neck tense, face swollen.
I can’t but help think about means of escape. 
Physical. 
Emotional.
But I stop.
I breathe. 
I breathe again.
Wiping away the last lingering tears on salt streaked cheeks,
And soldier on.
Heat subsiding but ever present.
Smouldering....
