Visionary Poems

Blowing through all
sunshine lightens
skies blue, the moon
the view, all arise
hope and praying
the days are long
longing for stars
breathe thoroughly
night and days arises
breathless surprises
longevity lives
months, years passing by
realizes
lights arise.

Transfiguration

This scriptured event
Is our common experience..
We stand alone
On the mountaintop 
Knowing our Self..
With due respect to our
Teachers standing on our
Left and on our Right..
Standing alone births
The Freedom introduced
By teachers remembered 
But only really known
As we stand alone...

 It runs across the land;
Golden dust bunnies over wheat fields;
Wind-blown particles from the Sun dirt flows;
It runs across the land;
Brown paper packages;
Antique brass mountain towns;
Midday primrose pass fireflies; 
Soars at the cool full night moon;
Endless Dunes waterfalls aqua...Read More

everything
everything is introvert

discover itself
where many thoughts play

but lonely
to the whole world

visualized there many things
non-visualized things are mysteriously hidden in mind

but the tape of mind

Truth often is in
“the eyes….”
My truth and your
truth—vs, God’s Truth:
we are born lies
of our own making.
Free Will not
a choice—but a
maker of worlds
and its peoples....Read More

When you’ve been to the top of the mountain
—you can relive the view from afar

You’ll never get to paradise,
by riding on a mule

You’ll never lose the Jester,
by acting like a fool

You’ll never shed the darkness,
by hiding from the light

You’ll never see beyond today
—entrapped in mirrored sight

Our World

"Once upon a time,
I was falling in love.
But now I’m only falling apart,
Nothing I can do.
A total eclipse of the heart."

Foolish sayings,
That’s what we follow.
Believe our zodiac horoscopes,
Follow them blindly.
Entranced by pretty words,
All of which are lies.
Lies we tell...Read More

It’s hard to ask the right questions,
their answers easier made

The hammer cocked, the truth in sight
—through crosshairs query bade

facetious, about
rock in every snowball
melting of the snows

little, coconut
as I remember, snowballs
perpetual snow

Truth is not stagnant
nor a shallow trickle
of comfort; it is a
living word--a doorway
leading to eternal life.
To enter Truth
is to enter Freedom....Read More

When I wish upon a star
Silently, wisely smiling down
Whose power is of wide renown
I feel love, though from afar.

Wishing on dandelions
Blowing hard on the fluffy seeds
Certain they are magic, not weeds
No care of my environs.

I wish on candles each year
Whilst...Read More

An Illusion
by Michael R. Burch 
 
The sky was as hushed as the breath of a bee
and the world was bathed in shades of palest gold
when I awoke.
 
She came to me with the sound of falling leaves
and the scent...Read More

Lay Down Your Arms
by Michael R. Burch

Lay down your arms; come, sleep in the sand.
The battle is over and night is at hand.
Our voyage has ended; there's nowhere to go . . .
the earth is a cinder still faintly aglow.

Lay...Read More

sun dark afternoon
so distant, pale planet hides
in spite of the light

so good afternoon
rests behind Jupiter's guise 
planet rides in spite 

~ 

on top of the world
long heavens gray horizon
in spite of the dusk

The weather in our lives will always change
The seasons bring the shift we need
So that we can feed off any situation
Even in the face of adversity!
Nothing can go to waste
As humans we must taste
A reflection of every emotion!

WASTING NO TIME

Standing there just a vacuum of an empty void
Visions of dreams within; her head were ployed

She wasn’t playing idle, as filling in wasted time
To her never a circus; more so of a pantomime

Every play then; written by her...Read More

Lamented Loneliness yet Not Alone
I am more than a mere man
I dress in the spiritual clothes of Jesus

I am related to God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ
I vacation right now in my mind/sprint...Read More

The visionary Poet,
blind to the word
Framing the consciousness
of a thousand lost days
Riding the emotion
of a memory set free
Escaping the entrapment
of description’s pretense
Vanishing in the mist
—like a rewoken dream

The bay leaf is an essential
ingredient in many recipes
that require a subtle flavor
to make it special, as in
soups and stews that need
a little help to boost the taste.
It was even used to crown
the head of winning athletes
in ancient games of...Read More

We have often seen “chemistry”
Scurrilous thought: chemistry-shemmistry!
But we know it when we witness it
(Like so many of the best definitions, right?)
Take this application to the next level:
More of quantum, vibration … less animal
Waves, Particles, “wavicle” - when scientists watch them!
