take any attribute of body-mind
discern its support, abode and essence
whence if we go deep enough, we will find
God’s presence in us as its quintessence
interconnected is all existence
wherein we too are a part of the whole
there never is from God any distance
irrespective of our ordained life role
to be as mindful as we are able
in stillness our vision pierces the veil
steadying resolve, flame of heart stable
one with oneness, in the void we set sail
breaking free from the cage of space and time ~
all that that then remains is bliss beat’s chime
The aberration
manifest sans volition
was embraced and accepted.
Eye nonjudgmental
and our bliss drenched heart gentle,
recognises all are one.
Fade away, oh tempests of thought
How shallow is the content you hold
We strain under weight of your refrain
And tire of nebulous concepts retold
If you would be our friend, then ascend
Reflecting light, radiating bliss delight
To which end, in the cave of heart bend
Beholding God in all, with spherical sight
So simple a ruse I silenced a scream
Just gullible enough to fall for your scheme
While you're bored and just blowing off steam
Now that this con has gathered more steam
My frustration has lent volume to my scream
How is it I haven't found an exit to this scheme
Not a pyramid but more of a spherical scheme
As it spins out of control so swiftly it gathers steam
And I just, I just. AHHHHHHHHHH. Scream.
I scream for this scheme to run out of steam
Stepping into heaven
Where in truth we always are
We look at our mind-body
In stupor, drifted afar
The veil of forgetting
Conceals our true origin
So we reclaim not soul’s light
Unless heart’s pure and virgin
Meditation holds the key
With God-connect our sole aim
Melding with His love and light
With aplomb we play life’s game

Spherical vision
Little by little,
see how fears whittle
away at our soul;
joy that ego stole.
We are not body
nor dark thoughts shoddy;
rather, living light,
throb of bliss delight.
Ego’s agenda,
desire addenda,
we hold in contempt,
as impulse unkempt.
Exit hypnosis,
is our prognosis ~
soul unresistant,
to the bliss current.

Spherical vision and pure heart
All by grace enabled
Vibrational touch, a learnt art
When ego disabled
Nodes stir, boundaries blur
With joy impulse concur
Love energy transfer
Third eye incision

Quietus
Disillusioned with the external
Owing to self-imposed limitation
We embrace spirit vibrational
Equal now, in each sensation

She grieved for her twin flame gone
Then the friendly priest came along
Spirit eternal, never dies, never born
Let us continue to sing our love song
As we are so we be and thus do see
Shifting as moon does wax and wane
Flowing ever free in our each entrée
Beautifying pain as a wabi-sabi stain
Who do you look for in the wilderness
There is nothing here but Gods breath
Dynamic and potential consciousness
At its own ignorance our soul blusheth

Cognizant that the Rubik’s cube is not spherical
My child still plays it as a ball in his dexterity’s portrayal…
He’s labeled as special with society’s approval
Surmounting afflicting disability, never in denial.
With his Rubik’s cube he tosses and rolls with delight
His mirth prevails midst spastic blight…
Oh, he shows his thumbs-up of achievement height
When the toy reaches his target goal’s flight.
Midst his handling, the Rubik’s cube becomes as round
Therapeutic as he feels love that does abound…
While inside warm caring, he twists and turns around
To dream along God-blest sleep of wellness-sound.
*Psalm 4:8 I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for thou, LORD, only makest me dwell in safety.

7th place, "If the Rubik's cube was round" Poetry Writing Contest
Sponsored by Kai Michael Neumann; judged on 1/ 26/2021
for love too sometimes conflict inevitable
even with desires rested life not so simple
for we live not alone and justice must prevail
others depend upon us so we must not fail
to defend as of ability path of righteousness
outcomes as any heart open in graciousness
yet by specious reasoning wrong looks right
so to get to clarity we employ spherical sight
rotating polarities and positions and opinions
visualising with the detractor our divine union
before embarking upon any action irretrievable
we dismiss our own ego cravings inexhaustible
thereafter what will be will be

Spherical Exchange
Dawn unwraps the sky and wraps up twilight,
All birds, plus boats, exalt anointing prime,
Colors glossed to their righteous hues, picked time,
Advent horizon ere an orb takes height,
Chance night favored souls harmoniously,
Spheres gift display ceremoniously,
Dawn unwraps the sky and wraps up twilight.

Make it Seven
~~Joseph May
As the condensation clears
Scrying new realities
Some doors close, some opening
But you hold the keys.
Spectrums fuse in the quartz ball
Reveal virgin harmonies
Tangible inside the sphere
Flowing, focusing.
You will love and you will live
Fear not, you are not alone
You are gifted and guided
The future is bright.
