The roots
the substratum of existence is God
unseen and yet always in the background
so knowing that our perception is flawed
refusing to be in illusions drowned
in vibrant stillness, peace in heart is found
the roots of our being are in heaven
to which we get to through chakras seven

Zen mode
from within we touch not the walls of form
as formless presence we just rest in space
swirling energies beg us to conform
so our mantra is release each embrace
since egos manifest conceal God’s face
at times we too swim but do not get wet
that we’re light of Self, we do not forget

Fallen Angel
The first day,
God borrowed a little light from the sun
He promised to return it
But He forgot Himself 'cause it looked too good in your eyes
The second day,
He stole the greatest holiness from all the Saints' spirit
And in the middle of the night,
He tucked it into your soul, so silently that you couldn't hear

County Road 43
the road became a tree-lined tunnel—flickers of
crepuscular rays try to play tag with the squirrels
as they stutter-dash across the shafts of you’re-it!
a free for all, until the road-tires butt-in—
flattening all the rules on a tire-treaded squirrel.
the light reacts with a sudden shift—to renew.
anticrepuscular rays converge to the antisolar point.
a change in perspective as the

BRING YOUR SIN
Bring your sin and the ugliness within
It’s all we bring: our part of the equation
But He quickens us to Christ
This Desire of every nation
The ingredients found in the preparation
Is the recipe for God’s vindication
It’s more than a metaphor
It’s an intimate union prepared by the Lord
And as we doubt and fall, sinking as did Peter
Let us

When God Whispers
When God whispers, the sky turns blue.
Bright flowers broadcast every hue.
Mauve mountains shade green valleys deep
where dog and boy keep frisky sheep.
Brimming rivers run clear and true.
Forests beckon all creatures who
follow the path of bear and shrew.
Where willows arise tall, but weep
…when God whispers.
Birds relating the miles they flew
keenly warble their points of view
and I

STRANGERS IN THE NIGHT-Medieval Hermits
STRANGERS IN THE NIGHT
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
two strangers in the night met
no names were exchanged
no histories were unveiled,
only shared glances
wind sighed through gaunt tree branches
in each other’s eyes
a shared moment, communion
of sacred journeys

INDIVIDUATION
The in-between heat of August is there
And here
For those of you who dare
To embrace the early signs of magic
Katydids clacking at dusk
To the moon’s silver fingers
Parting the leaves
Cicadas rattling like tambourines
I come across an eagle feather
Long black and brown
Wonder if it actually fell from a vulture
Either way I am protected
From what?
Yesterday and tomorrow
In the morning
A

HERMIT'S FIRE IN THE FROZEN MEDIEVAL FOREST
HERMIT’S FIRE IN THE FROZEN MEDIEVAL FOREST
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The wind, a teeth-chattering dirge
through skeletal branches,
finds no purchase on the small flame.
He built it low, a secret
whispered to the snow-laden earth,
a defiant ember in the kingdom of ice.
Years bleed into seasons here,
marked only by the shrinking woodpile,
the lengthening beard, the deepening lines
etched by firelight and solitude.
He remembers
