Teeter Totter

Teeter totter

This is my voice, writing from within too without
For a long time, I wasn't listening to my soul.
I was wearing shoes to protect 
From the stones and the mud and the bugs in the grass.
I was afraid of feeling feelings

I want to tell you something
If we crossed on the street I will smile and say hello
Not to your face, to your body, brain knots
I would say hello to your soul!

You, the shoot that branches
You, and opens up and out
You, Whose Smiles Blooms!
U

If we crossed on the street I would smile and it would travel a mile!
Into your soul, I found my soul!
The cup, the bowl, the form the gives and receives.
That's loving! That's living!
I am beginning to see

!!!knots!!!

n
Me, the mean frown
Me, enveloped
n

Woe is me!
That's all noise.
Coming from,
my other voice

Listen!
silence begets listening

I am a simpleton its true
I am simple and I am weighty.

I will be quality!
The very simplest of things
Is balancing!

Space the elephant.
Mass the mouse.
Teeter totter

Hate, the evil.
Love, our gift.
on which end?
I choose to give!
From my soul!

and Love pours out,
and overflows
creating new living
Apples!

Marriage, two smiles
Two gifts bestowed
Simultaneously
That is reciprocity!
Eternity is Good 

The fulcrum the law
is smiling meekness
mona lisa

One cannot gift without giving
And it creates new life!
It's the only thing that works,
without breaking a sweat,
and without breaking the law!

The law works without
batting an eye,
or shrugging a shoulder
or any of that!

Love plus love
begets more love
Hate plus anything
it's going to break!

Eventually,
because the law works
and never breaks.

Reciprocity! Reciprocity!

Hate is the shelter,
Hate is the ship,
Hate forms the shell
To protect me from it!

Why?!!!?

Let the jellyfish swim,
Let it pulse and move.
Let the waves come as they may
and just walk barefoot.

Sailors, Hikers  always wave in communion.
Not peeking through smudged glass
No difference of opinion
Just waving and smile
And saying hello!

Drivers, they are not the same.
They hid! Why?
Open your window,
and give some apples!
I am finally giving some apples of my own.

Give a stranger an apple,
you'll plant and seed
and they'll be fed forever
free from want or need!

It's amazing
A maze of wonder and joy!
within this world I once knew
when I was a young boy. 

In levity, 
Descending Waters


I will water my roots,
and spread many branches
And make apples.
And give them too.

Too you!

Silver Lining

The silver lining soundly sewn
Look into the skies 
too worlds unknown
           **softly gaze**
This will amaze!
In the airs sparkles play
Scintillation, effervescence
Within you is that essence 
Concrescence cool flame
                 Into living gain 
The silver lining simply woven.

Descending Waters, 
Dynamize, fructify 
Energize your
Inner sky
