Short Tabled Poems

tabled Fall flowers
tremendous bloom of color
unnatural vase
the horticulture of cards
opens recipients’ smiles

Multiplication, Tabled
by Michael R. Burch
 
Be fruitful and multiply”—
great advice, for a fruitfly!
But for women and men,
simple Simons, say, “WHEN!”...

falls and rises tests our mettle 
in timeless time, erst fears settle
no ego cravings are tabled
lower mind rests, love’s enabled
soul blossoms, petal by petal

we tabled it
we sat it down, 
laughter and love
expressed gratitude,
passed it around,
around the table

let us now
as we are able
take this time
its taste sublime
at the table
...mmmm...

Enabled and then disabled
To ascertain bliss stability
When no ego agenda tabled
Throb renews in continuity 

Game of choosing resonation
With God consciousness 
Love the only real vibration 
Imbibed in silence & stillness

hands flying around tv monitors.
 playing tennis, feeling like john mcenroe
 with my headband on and nintendo
 remote in hand. 

coffee tabled comentators 
add to the suspense, break point, 
mental note play to his backhand
 and dont trip over the couch....

awaking gently from deep sleep
a mantra recital in progress
the realisation sinks in deep
arising from divine connectedness 

revelations divine thus enabled
a gift of grace from the absolute
for no agenda by us was tabled
save alignment in prayer resolute

With God inside, all is enabled
Unless we self-block grace
No agendas by us tabled
We exit the rat race

Although we do not seek
Bliss currents within peak
Dance of love, cheek to cheek

Enjoy the ride
With God inside

Self-anoint bliss, imbibing grace
By making our heart pure
When no earthy goals, left to chase
Love alone holds allure

No agenda tabled
Then thus all enabled
By bliss throbs we’re cradled

Nothing’s amiss
Self-anoint bliss

When we are still, what’s that that moves
Attention flow distilled
Behold presence in joyous grooves
Bliss nectar overspilled

Erst desires disabled
No agenda tabled
Then thus all enabled

Feel how voids fill
When we are still

vanity seeks an echo 
but the music is distorted
because the canvas is contorted 
and so it does remain, until we let go

it is a wish we now wish we did not wish
for if narrow ego agendas are tabled
it is unlikely we will be enabled 
tasting a bittersweet dish

Troubled Tuesday tussles through the tides
Taking turns to toil terrified today
That tip talking tremendously to the task
Tabled tales, the tall trees tossed
That touch
That trip
That tears
Taken
Tolerates
Trembling talks
The transparency travels
Telling Trevor to take the task
Today tears the town...

Spiritual practice is doomed from the start,
since any ritual involves our doership
and therefore unless ego’s made to depart,
futile is our meditation or worship,
unless ofcourse we choose to add love to cart,
exiting shallow game of one-upmanship,
whereupon once no agenda is tabled,
by God's grace, soul's ascension is enabled.

Tabled all my thoughts to keep them empty
Walked alone to make the voices die
Never thought pebbles would make waves that crested over all the sunlight
and brought my hopes down with the colors of the sky

Nothing there to balance what is spinning
I cannot let the phantoms gain control
My pulse quickens as the chaos starts to envelope all the silence
Can't make the pieces come together as a whole...

Give me that old time religion
Give me that old time religion
Give me that old time religion
It’s good enough for me

Songwriters: Ford/Fascinato

With age comes the inner, the higher life.
Who would be forever young,
to dwell always in externals?

COMMUNION OF SAINTS

tabled
  fellowship
   grand men and dames
can’t see nor hear the word —

Playful stance
Looks not askance 
Exuberance of joy
Free of ego ploy
Free flowing 
Nonjudging 
Embraces the ‘enemy’
Not recognising any
In the world of transience 
Celebrates in innocence 
Being love enabled 
No agenda tabled
Fulcrum in the void
Vibrant & overjoyed
Centred in the internal
Unaffected by the external 
Explosive bliss renewal 
Within continual 
Magnetised emptiness
Roaring with bliss in fullness 

Such is the is-ness
Of being-ness
