Bird Talk
He's downstairs in his cage
chirping like a real trouper
canary ramblings,
upstaged
by no other pet,
he's mine....

Moon Sighting
The moon, beautiful
bright, and full at nine PM.
By nine twenty, she was gone.
Upstaged by dark clouds,
she gave way, and disappeared;
But oh, she was most stunning

Thought of the day
starting with nothing
let us do something
without a purpose
clown in a circus
in vibrance engaged
ego is upstaged
awareness yet is
rapturous bliss fizz
in silence go in
just resting therein
feeling not thinking
pure peace unblinking...

Living Light
light eternal caged
by ego upstaged
merely needs flame of love
that grace from above
vivifies organic form
with a magnetic bliss storm
if love be our invocation
with dedication
God’s self-existent light
pulsates by day and by night
within...

Idle musings
Abandoned desires adrift in the void,
yet possess some life like dying ember
but if the heart be pure and unalloyed
and light of Self within, we remember,
doing nothing at all we dismember
lower vibrations in which we engaged,
which have been now by divine light upstaged....

Runner
the road runner raced within the lucid dream
looking for something to satisfy its heart
goalposts shifted in the desire stream
shapeshifting fears did not depart
as time flowed on body aged
the exhausted soul chose to be still
recognising it had been by ego upstaged
invoking grace it surrendered to God its will...

Spring Spotlight
Spring is upstaged
by the freeze and rain.
Warmth with a slight breeze
is in the back
pressed against fall and summer.
She’s frustrated at the glare
coming through winters frost,
soon the lights will be too much,
as the cold sweats
spring sees its chance and leaps in front.
The audience applauds.

This is how it is
Soul’s light in heart caged,
by ego upstaged,
when thoughts cease is seen,
mirroring God’s sheen.
Words cannot describe,
zing of bliss beat’s vibe,
cascading within,
playing on our skin.
The slow benign burn
in mind-body urn,
fixates attention
in meditation.
The table is laid
for bliss ready made,
revealing soul’s light,
in heart shining bright....

Fall From Grace
swamped by illusions
immersed in delusion
a strange darkness
thoughts in confusion
‘tis the magical way
living light is caged
its pride demolished
by cravings upstaged
demi-gods powerful
choosing paths unjust
on falling from grace
turn thus to dust
a mere wisp of straw
can turn the tables
love alone is real
moral of all fables

model upstages designer gown
gorgeousness of the model outshines the dress
do not misinterpret my meaning please
the dress is an Anya Ayoung Chee, a worthy designer
created from gorgeous fabric, she has tremendous flow, excellent lines
young svelte model’s beauty surpasses this emerald, gold, silver gown
during fashion week, we reporters do not see the gown at all
completely upstaged by the African goddess wearing her...

Avadhuta Gita Chapter 1, verse 4
“All is verily the absolute Self.
Distinction and nondistinction do not exist.
How can I say, "It exists; it does not exist"?
I am filled with wonder!”
inner light caged
by ego upstaged
whenever tested
in jest we rested
feral lower mind
choosing love kind
awake in the dream
where illusions stream
the vaporised self
dances by itself
suffused with bliss
exclaiming ‘I am this’...

I Was a Warrior
glorious and tall i stood...
you could lie and say i was king
and still tell the truth
i defeated Attila the Hun
and outwitted Alexander the great
upstaged Julius Caesar.
i crawled through the dunes of Arabia
and splattered them with bandit blood
i took the lives of many
that my people may be safe another day
i fought bravely for my country
and now, Valhalla awaits.
*i know the history is incorrect, but its figurative....

Is That So
responses measured
lose moments treasured
since spontaneity is caged
when heart’s by mind upstaged
and as for heart’s desires fickle
deflected by a mere tickle
it finds that it’s unable
to remain stable
our fall from grace
and sole cause of disgrace
is clearly then bondage to desire
of earthy objects we seek to acquire
save by dissolving our ego in the void
poised as awareness self-aware
we’ll continue to be decoyed
trapped in ego’s snare...

Monsoon In The West
A classic wind upstaged the evening,
Vocalizing Leaves and Tremulous Aria
Branches. On accompanying fused-sand, framed
and clear, began a run of finely tuned
rivulets -- busy writing, I had not
looked, and saw, dark clouds conjugating --
nor sniffed thickening troops of air~ my
sinuses alerting, their usual swelling. Came a lantern's
flash, came a vivid slash, rumbling
likened to a heavily weighted freight-train, with frantic
mind to lighten its burdensome, brooding load.
