veiling the moon
cocaine lines
criss-cross blue sky
intoxicating
like a silent death-
howling winds cry....

Snow falling slowly
Covering the earth in white
Snowflakes thus whirling
Gracefully encouraging
Veiling and dancing in light...

widow to sun bride

Dark hole,
No escape,
Thrash around in my sleep…

Scream,
Awaken from my slumber.

Must break free,
Veiling memories,
Help me escape from-
Me....

Their onslaught is relentless 
Veiling God presence
Centred in the void within
We reclaim bliss ignition

layer of dust
choking breath
fears and desires 
veiling luminescence 
purification then the way
gentling every touch
to rekindle heart’s
love and light

Thin places

They are called

Places of faded

Veiling of the divine

A spiritual gem..

A thin thought

Perhaps a glimpse

In the search

Through 

Thick and thin......

I have never written a word.
Even now four floors up
with light veiling
my eyes on the stage.

I mix my blood with the
Choir. It sinks.
Better without luck—
be that minus 
your childhood....

The words were spoken
Their wills were broken
Casting them 
Into still like spell
stealing a defeat 
Without the battle
Casting light shadows 
Over the expected vision 
Veiling their minds...

The world God’s illusion
deceiving Himself
Birthing a metaphor
 sleight of His hand
Time as the smokescreen
veiling the folly
Escape our salvation

Point to ponder

Can we not let go
hope for an echo?
Why not love outpour,
whilst keeping no score?

Domino effect,
an ego defect,
veiling light of soul,
as we play life’s role.

Determined to move ahead
Yet held back by destiny..
Rebelling against fate,
Fighting a ghost enemy..
Frozen at the crossroads,
Confusion veiling all clarity..
Step ahead and create history,
Or fall back and follow the legacy?...

Mundane matters occupy mind,
which deluded heart does rewind 
in a make belief world of thought,
a web in which, we are then caught,
veiling our innate soul presence,
since deadened is our sentience.

As what falls, to settle upon
A welcoming breast.  *
As a feather, softly, softly
From out storm's unrest.

As what, through an evening mist, of
Earth's sombre veiling
Is, peace-weighed, now lighter for it.
Day care's emtombing.

Not a leaf moves, they say, sans His will, 
There’s no point trudging on a steep hill. 
God smiles, veiling His guile,
Says with a perplexed smile: 
Fate is fine but what of your free will?

Veiling

We live our lives
Each day with assumptions
That the "out there"
Reveals what we need to know..
This is the assumption of centuries..
It comes as a surprise
When we are told that
"Out there" actually veils the
Reality which when recognized
Will bring us Peace......

Ego binds us in narrowness 
Veiling the throb of bliss 
Delusion is separateness 
We sense something amiss

Once thoughts rest, we are free
Head-heart with love agree 
In childlike, playful spree

Earth life grinds
Ego binds

Without hesitation, choosing to yield,
that flickers in the void do not arise,
love blocking onset of angst, is a shield,
breeze that blows away clouds veiling sunrise,
becomes the favoured path of sages wise.
Effervescence of love seeks no applause,
being but a mist obeying God’s laws....

Rest thoughts wild, they confine and bind
Veiling light of our soul
Leave scriptural knowing behind
Wander not like a ghoul

Whence love be our mainstay
Bliss beats show us the way
Throbbing by night and day

Awake child
Rest thoughts wild

In dusk dwells her soul 
wondering
why daylight would
want a home
here.

In shadow shivers her heart
knowing
another minute
will bring the beginning
of the nothing
painted on her bedroom wall.

In dread hides her mind
veiling
demons and dead creatures
waiting in the
cracks.

And still.
She cannot move....
