Evident Love
If I ask you once to shower thyself
Would you choose to be my heart or soul of yourself?
If I permit you my innocence to manifest oneself
Would you decorate it with the flowers or pant with itself?
If you are blessed to mold your figure
Would you choose to be my thought or muse of

dripping Opalescent Wholeness
pink pearls and peach dandelions
silently showing out with tiny slivers of fluff
winged faeries never looked more pretty
dripping opalescent wholeness
showing the world goodness
instilling hope, joy, and peace

The Sullen Stories Hiding Wholeness --Sonnet 29
Haply I think on thee
The lark of wholeness
At break of a new day
Wipes away separation's grip
And rises in recognition of
The sullen stories which
Separate me and thee...CC
Interpreting:
When, in disgrace with fortune and men’s eyes,
I all alone beweep my outcast state,
And trouble deaf heaven with my bootless cries,
And look upon myself and curse my fate,
Wishing me like

Wholeness Questions
The wholeness questions..
Most apparently see life
As disconnected..separate..
Talk of illusion
Is quickly dismissed..
A few may pause
When questioned thus:
How might wholeness seem..with
No time and space
No autonomous persons
No locations
No "others"
No happenings..
These questions stall the mind
And spontaneously
Not-knowing may be
Paradoxically flash
For no-one..
Freedom
Illuminated...

Nursery Rhyme Break
I
Humpty Trump-ty scaled a wall
Humpty Trump-ty had a great fall
He blamed it on Dem and others
Dems held off cussing; US family, brothers
Did Humpty Trump-ty think Eden, First Fall?
II
We all ought to learn to take
Intermission, even at election, that break
To center ourselves, anchor with soul
Ponder space, our place, become Whole
Or repeat Humpty Trump-ty's mistake

Lonelinesses
Switch off the daylight, please, rescind the wind
outside the creaky window, draw the blinds
and take your clothes off, so our twinned
lovehungry shadows, souls, hearts and minds
could be a single entity again.
Oh, how I love when your aloneness finds
my loneliness in darkness, or, say, when
your timid kiss meets mine, the vigorous…
Alas, your wristwatch says it’s almost

Wholeness
Be bold of heart with mind at peace;
Be as faith starts hope in love's ease.
Be as one whole with poise as proof;
Be pure of soul with lovely truth.
Be perfect then with mind and heart;
Be as you can with each new start.
Be strong in peace with joy that styles;
Be as you please with cheer that smiles.

Wholeness
Lilt in rhythm giving high and low
High and low with own rhythms go
Bifurcation to an endless end
Fast moving and slow!
Yield with what is
Bend, to what you do not know!
Blow your own whistle at last
Before it is too late to blow!

Return To Wholeness
The body is precious
a vehicle for
awakening
treat it with care,
said Buddha
I love its stillness
beauty and sanctity
here and now
sink into its calm
to hear the whispers
in all
its ebbs and flows
erect, penetrate
the edge of life and
loss
return to wholeness

Life's Wholeness
Life and a living being
can never be separated
See one and you see
the other
Destroy one and you destroy
the other
Pluck a flower from a tree
and dissect it
to understand it
You no longer have that flower
as it existed
on the tree
You may have an understanding
of the relationship
between the components
of a dead flower
but you will have forever lost
the

Wholeness
how can you love wholeness, when your not whole within?,
the answer behind this is HE looks past your sins,
from changing "I" to "We" you now can see,
all of HIS grace is sufficiant for thee,
man's words are only part of the soul,
to learn more of this as you get old,
resting is momentary, in time to heal
