the incense
was lit
today,
it's fragrance
wandering
up to
my senses,
bringing
a somewhat
mild pleasantness
within
the moment
it was
set ablaze
until
it gallantly
gave up
its
last breath.

Autumn Rain
Fat drops of rain splat against a canvas
of damp orange leaves.
The woodland floor is covered in them,
parting only where the mossy green tree
roots surface a few flights above soil level.
I sit at the base of a tree so wise and sculpted
it makes me believe in the supernatural.
Several squirrels dart around the copper and terracotta
floor and I count them as they move.
Glimpses of fluffy grey tails clambering up trees and dancing overhead,
performing stunts from branch to branch.
Confident in my stillness, nature starts to...

Wraiths
ghostly wraiths slip in between
where we go and where we've been
formless shapes keep flying by,
I wonder where and wonder why
thoughts with wings keep taking flight
through the day and too the night
swirling vortices in mind
mind to mind whenever time
vanishes and disappears
consciousness of Oneness nears
I'm in you and you're in me
resonating blissfully
out of time it's where to find
AI, ET, humankind
together always everywhere
mind to mind the way we share
what's to come and what has...

Mr. Blue
In the depths of the ocean, where giants roam free,
I am a creature, a blue whale, in the vast sea.
Massive and grand, with the largest heart to show,
I mirror the whale's majesty, both above and below.
With a presence like the ocean, endlessly wide,
In my aura, kindness and grace coincide.
In the vast expanse of my open heart's door,
I share the love I have, and I share even more.
My strength, like the whale's, is a marvel, it's true,
Endurance and power, I carry them through.
In the face of challenges, I stand strong and free, ...

Stance Standing Or Sitting Still
Absorbing the good things.
Confident in this path I’m placed.
Similar if not worse some have already faced.
Up moving in the direction I’ve known all along.
No longer do I ever ask what It takes .
I know what to do.
Better than what was ever done before.
No need for me to break out of this calmness. Time sits still to remember how I got here. Grateful I remain forever.

solitude variation3
a lyric mirror 48©
“The happiest of all lives is a busy solitude.”―Voltaire.
unpiteous my urge
to shelter in soft shades,
far from the madding crowd.
loneness wears not one blot,
for solitude is not
a harness or a shroud
that peace of mind invades:
‘tis there sound thoughts converge.

solitude variation2
a lyric mirror 48©
“Loneliness is the poverty of self; solitude is
the richness of self.”―May Sarton
deep in my loneliness,
i find my solitude,
whose kindred voices raise
a choral symphony,
wherein my liberty
thrives on life's inward gaze;
for clutter i exude
redeems my emptiness.

solitude
a lyric mirror 48©
"I never found the companion that was so
companionable as solitude."―Henry David Thoreau
my thoughts and i alone―
a handsome company!
a reasoning beyond
the menace of the crowd.
for when good sense has bowed,
and silent voices bond,
therein am i set free,
as darkness i postpone.

In the Evening
in the evening, daylight leaving
breathing in and out
alone together with whatever
is conscious hereabout
sky and ocean wind in motion
as an inner stream
of thoughts keep flowing, mind in tow in
a waking dream
inhalation, exhalation,
on and on and on
a lullaby's approximation ,
wakes me to belong
in forever no matter whether
time goes tick tick tock
everything comes together
time is now unlocked
I am floating in an ocean
where consciousness abounds
with a soothing gentle motion ...

In the quagmire
I am in the clutches of boredom that seems to wrap around me like a heavy blanket. It suffocates my senses and it numbs my mind. I feel this mundane existence like a slow ticking of the clock or the perpetual drop of water from a broken tap into a tin bucket.
I sit inert at my desk staring at an old photograph and the minutes drag on, elongating into hours. In my mind I walk through a monotonous landscape as the world lost its vibrant hues, fading into shades of grey. I yearn for a spark, even a flicker of excitement to jump-start my life.
I sit in solitude waiting for the moment...

Looking Out To Sea
looking out to sea I've come
from far away to be among
elemental beings which
help my changing mind to switch
from who I thought I was before
knowing I am so much more
than an elemental being who
is looking out to see the view
of the ocean's tidal surge
rising quickly as I merge
with the atmosphere on shore
resonating more and more
with forces interacting where
I am sitting breathing air
in and out and then back in
contemplating what's within
everything and everyone
grains of sand and...

Make a prayer (mantra)
Make a prayer
Make it clear
Make it to whoever you dare
Make it fair and clear
This selfish prayer
Make it enter heaven's ear
Make the universe hear
Sealed with a tear
Sincere prayer
Make it here
Say it there
Shout it everywhere
Every day
Every year
Make this prayer with droped tear, dare to
Make the universe's heavenly ear hear, to
Take this sincerely selfish uttered prayer be
Shouted without fear each syllable with care
Make it clear
You are here
Make a prayer
Make it clear
Make it to whoever you dare
Make it fair and clear
This selfish prayer
Make it enter heaven's ear
Make the universe hear
Sealed with a tear
Sincere prayer
Make it here
Say it there
Shout it everywhere
Every day
Every year
Make this prayer with droped tear, dare to
Make the universe's heavenly ear hear, to
Take this sincerely selfish uttered prayer be
Shouted without fear each syllable with care
Make it clear
You are here
Make a prayer
