This World of Life and Void

Brothel of delights
Temple to serve men and gods
A bridge between void and light

Playground of freedom
Church of law and God's judgment
A bridge falling into void

A couple sips a second cup,
                discussing how the day should go.
                A quick look out the window brings

Viewpoints

Turning your eyes to distant stars,
You witness infinity spinning as it has
Aeons upon aeons before you were born,
Orbits and memories, oceans and dust.
Wherever you are, but a speck,
An ambulatory grain, sparkling, alive,
Epitome of the momentary

Whether a witness on a Vientiane roof,
An ancient observatory in Beijing
Or some sandy step in Samarqand

Your true tale
One amid seemingly endless

Look deeper still
To know clear will


A voice now speaks
Feel what truth streaks


Know how heart feels
Live then sure will


Give in to joy
Let peace employ


Here by the way
Watch change play


Poise follows choice
Purge noise from voice

VIEWPOINTS

Kid with a wet cloth slopping on the floor:
Water dropping everywhere and trickles free.
Mum comes dashing in the door  -
Can’t you try to make less mess for me?
I have to clean this now and go down on my knee!


Oh mum, please don’t wipe it all away  -
And leave that big wiggly trickle to

viewed by astronauts,
Earth is a massive blue sphere
stand outside at night, look up

see a universe
filled with sprawling galaxies
we’re but specks of creation

some say he's just confident,
   you say, no, he's very arrogant,
others say he's opinionated,
   you say simply hard-headed;

for some, he's open-minded,
   for you,  plainly uncommitted,
for others, he's truly tolerant,
   for you, he's heretic, ignorant,

some say he's a freedom-fighter,
   you call him terrorist murderer,
these matters

the trowel back pushed   fresh tempered mortar
 lifted to scoop the hard cream wave
Shook  to anchor the load
Then slid across the back edge of the growing wall
His reach stilled as he raised the half empty tool point up
To fill the closer edge on  the return swipe
Reaching for more in the same

Momentous Viewpoints

Barefoot on a sand dune staring far
Feeling I was standing by a star
In so much space at speeding pace
My pulse did race 
As I embraced my right to face
This solid place 
On shifting drifting sand
This glimpse of time
Caught in rhyme
Eternal twisting fate
Expanding at demanding rate
Diminishes my self to see
A dune of sand
Is all that's left
