Christianity is embedded in Europe's mind
alas, it is losing its grip under the influence
of other religions and heathen life
The clerics have nothing to offer, only
platitude and sex abuse behind glorious
brocade and oily words.
Love, charity, and forgiveness are
forgotten in the melee of free expression
We are served a TV that lacks humor
banality seeking to mollify the masses
Comedy is no longer ironic but is about
using filthy words to harvest laughter

My Castle in the Aire
14/30
My Castle in the Aire
When I am in the mood to ponder
I’ve discovered
in the absence of everyday din
at dusk
at dawn
no highway traffic
no owls hooting
or javelinas playful grunts
no orange cardinal
calling out to mate
or howling coyotes
no computers on
or streaming news
for me,
zazen comes easily
naturally
also, it is a boon
when I can’t remember
what I had for supper
the day before

the old conflict
The oldest conflict
They shot and wounded the old Syrian in his tobacconist’s
near where I live, he was rescued by passers-by
By the corner, two Jews dressed in black, stood motionless
I thought of vultures, waiting for the lion to die.
It is so abstract 2000 years, nothing ever changes; who is
right and who is wrong don’t matter anymore, empathy
has gone, only grim, ancient hatred remains.
Different interpretations of the right way to God becomes
meaningless, chaos in a miasma of words, everyone is right
but fail to see the...

Beautiful Oriental Journey of Life - Rewrite
Beautiful Oriental Journey of Life
Future life of our reborn spirits
Headed to the forbidden city
Where dreams soar like dragons
On wings of saffron visions
Born of conch echoes
Whose echo sings of ancient sutras
Flying on prayer wheels in the sky
As our hearts meet on a golden hearth
Where snowy leopards
Lay down with yaks
In peaceful pastures
My wife was still very much alive
and we were taking the train ...

Hokkaido Maiden
Hokkaido Maiden
Dawn of the kabuki spirit
Rises like a Hokkaido mist
When cold north winds blow
Across her pale winter complexion
Painted like snow
With lips pink like morning
With the glitter in her eyes
Blue as her birthstone
But often clouded by doubt
And dirty blonde tresses
Soaked in sunshine
Of ancient cherry blossom
Reborn
Dawn of the kabuki spirit
Rises like a Hokkaido mist
When cold north winds blow
Across her pale winter complexion
Painted like snow
With lips pink like morning
With the glitter in her eyes
Blue as her birthstone
But often clouded by doubt
And dirty blonde tresses
Soaked in sunshine
Of ancient cherry blossom

Lady of the Sea
Lady of the Sea
Dark shade of red for waxed brows
Arched roof for sea nymph pi eyes
Whose infinity circles prophetess gaze
Into blue-eyed Elgin marble of love
With her lips parted ever so slightly
In pink cherry blossoms of cirrus dawn
Gathered over Sea of Japan
Where she plays the Koto
For Basho pilgrims
Barefoot in the salty water
Who gather Nori from the rocks
For Sushi dreams on the way to Satori
Where her toes dangle on the edge of eternity
Dark shade of red for waxed brows
Arched roof for sea nymph pi eyes
Whose infinity circles prophetess gaze
Into blue-eyed Elgin marble of love
With her lips parted ever so slightly
In pink cherry blossoms of cirrus dawn
Gathered over Sea of Japan
Where she plays the Koto
For Basho pilgrims
Barefoot in the salty water
Who gather Nori from the rocks
For Sushi dreams on the way to Satori
Where her toes dangle on the edge of eternity

Future Whispers To The Dawn Of The Past...
Body centered, inhaling, exhaling, Dragon Blood incense bellowing, purple candle burning
Eye closing, reversing, blackness churning
Elevated, cognitive lifted, I proudly breathe as a French Haitian Creole intellectual and with blessings, gifted
Devoid the temple of all negative strife, earthly contentions
Visions passing of several dimensions
Who are you, monsieur, to you have invaded my space in the universal of man’s time
Were you ordained by the secrets of Moses, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, God’s seeds planted to harvest the land of milk,...

Where is your God?

Who allows so much pain and misery
In this, yes, very miserable world He (or She) created?

the homily
The homily
At the church entrance
Beggars line up when the sermon is over
The parishioners in the warm feeling of faith
Give beggars coins.
God’s work be done.
The cripple gets up and leave

luminaria
luminaria
rice paper dreams
from the haunted luminaria
a starry oasis for souls
they are like rocks in a Zen garden
but which glow
and whose islands are those of Japan
with the homes of people
made luminous by lanterns
as the spirits of the heike
whose souls are restless
as cherry blossoms
stirred by the gypsy moth hypnotism
of moonbeam delight

Disinthrallment Egresses
14 / 30
Disinthrallment Egresses
Unfettered, entering
into a solace of
emptiness
casting off all possessions
(though & while missing
My Entity)
I shed all “stuff”
asking for only food
& drink while I exist
and think.
Beings and being all
---- Buddhas, this very iota in time
chains and severs possessions
if
We relax and let a cosmic universal
Prajnaparamita take on the task
in our lives and or on our behalf.
Liberty
Freedom
o similar will...
