Last night in the darkness of that womb, you planted me, a seed that grew swiftly finding roots strengthened through the crushing of concrete fears carelessly sewnLike a tree I stood, firm enough of form to live, supple; bending to the whim and beat of that inner drum.Eyes closed I smiled and swayed, welcoming your … Continue reading Eleventy 8 Ent Earths
Rumi-nate
Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing, there is a field. I’ll meet you there.When the soul lies down in that grass,the world is too full to talk about.Ideas, language, even the phrase “each other” doesn’t make any sense.The breeze at dawn has secrets to tell you.Don’t go back to sleep.You must ask for what … Continue reading Rumi-nate
The Guesthouse
This being human is a guest house.Every morning a new arrival. A joy, a depression, a meanness,some momentary awareness comesas an unexpected visitor. Welcome and entertain them all!Even if they’re a crowd of sorrows,who violently sweep your houseempty of its furniture,still, treat each guest honorably.He may be clearing you outfor some new delight. The dark … Continue reading The Guesthouse
Nandini
Yoga is that lover intent on testing you, to see if you’ll stick around. That one who teases you into flexible submission, who won’t offer itself up to you all at once, bit by bit completely, freely.Yoga wants to see if you’ll go the distance. Once you’ve proven yourself patient ─ opened up fully to … Continue reading Nandini
Q.O.T.D.
I’ve been thinking of that man with the red car, and the darkness through which we tried to speed, but inevitably hopelessly failed. I remember the familiar route we took, hours after he’d introduced me to the damned, awakening my desire to explore the dark but not the dark as he’d planned it The thrill … Continue reading Q.O.T.D.
Dagaz – Breakthrough
Today my perception is thus, tomorrow it's something completely other. Maybe it's because I'm slightly nuts or maybe it's this path I've surely chosen. If there's anything Yeshua has taught me in the past years and seemed to specifically highlight in 2020, it's that the world is a circus and we need to learn to … Continue reading Dagaz – Breakthrough
Lesser Tale
Playhouse plaything I know I’m your sweetest sweet nothing Theatre sat Songbird pet of brevity Wrong melody Theatre box Inverse purse, thanx This time round I’ll skip the verse Keep the key Fort Knox locks bent outta shape Old skinhorse Best we take our leave Away along the roman trail Fly afar upon winged steed … Continue reading Lesser Tale
Transformation
I think, though I could be wrong - as so often before, that it's done. It happens this way, things never said but showed when all that once mattered was stowed in a paper bag meant for a bin. I don't know, maybe love just feels like that sometimes, all those unnecessary words about keys … Continue reading Transformation
Wizards
I got real good real quick at putting things away and at forgetting but then I thought it time to revisit him, look upon his faces if only to see whether what I’d say would now change them If only I hadn’t returned time and again in times past with this changing thought perhaps I … Continue reading Wizards
Mustard Seed
My arrival seemed like nothing until you drew me in, pencilled along your skin and clung to me, seemingly abusively but I see now it was rather desperately A tear dotted my cheek as I offered you the sweetness from my smartest cup but you whispered, "all I'm deserving of is your sharpest cut" It … Continue reading Mustard Seed
