Stay Calm, Stay Cool
Stress and pressure can often overwhelm anyone
Heck, it can put a lot of strain on the heart
And while there may be chaos and mayhem all around
Staying calm and cool can be quite the art
Life will throw challenges at us and people will test us
But the key to composure is that ability to pause
Taking a deep breath to let the brain process and generate
So that the response will focus on the root of the cause
And perhaps it in this type of pragmatic approach
That our action alone will command regard and respect
Because body language...

Garden Meditation
i am awareness.
i am not separate.
caw of crow
soaring beneath sky,
path glistening
moist from recent rain,
cool morning breeze,
flowering trees,
all arising within.
all part of one reality.
i am not separate.
i am awareness.

Inner Peace
Inner peace requires peace of mind
Self doubt brings forth turbulence
Thus shaking the scales one must balance
Urgency brings on mistakes
Yet complacency stifles all growth
Find your pace but take your time
Take a few breaths and quiet the mind
Breathe in and breathe out
Do not bury but instead expel
Cleanse the vessel of your soul
Choose the higher path
Feel the energy from the heavens
Become born again
Your view is your world
Shape it to your desires
Conquer yourself and then be at peace ...

Ego Obsolete
i am not my past.
change is terrifying
to untamed minds.
i am not my trauma.
ego promotes procrastination
stops me from starting new projects.
i am not this fear.
ego protects me from failure
while hindering possibilities of success
i am not this thought.
ego is darkness,
outdated fight-or-flight mechanism.
ego is expert
at constructing resistances
ego accumulates rationalizations:
why i am unloved, unaccepted, unhappy.
i am not this guilt.

The King of New York
Raindrops bombing down on the tin roof
My shelter, alone, drowns in forest sea
And, no. No one would hear me if I fell
Or fired my gun, just for a quick exit
But, the show must go on though these
Legs urge to rust and decay in hunger
Stop! This! Spiraling! Deep breaths out
I proceed dialing in a stifling trance
That I learned when times were calmer
From a lady, Adrienne. On, rain pours
Visualizing technique, fight eyes shut
At first tongue in cheek, but it works
Back above neons,...

Self Appraisal
When I'm good (at anything)
I want to excel in it
And when I'm bad
I want to be
Very, very bad
Is that so wrong?
Perhaps
I shouldn't ask
I want to excel in it
And when I'm bad
I want to be
Very, very bad
Is that so wrong?
Perhaps
I shouldn't ask

Drifting in the Shadows
The weight of indecision,
An anchor on my soul,
I sail through murky waters,
Seeking a guiding role.
In the vast expanse of night,
I cast my eyes above,
Hoping for a constellation,
To reveal my path, my love.
Yet the stars remain silent,
Their secrets tightly sealed,
And I, a wanderer lost,
Yearn for clarity revealed.
So I'll drift upon the tides,
Embrace the ebb and flow,
For perhaps in surrender,
True direction I shall know.
And as dawn breaks the darkness,
I'll wait with bated...

After the Banquet
Christmas Day
Post-prandial droop
Listening to Ed Sheeran
For whatever reason
Bloated and satisfied
Below, family and friends
While I sit upstairs
Good to rest
Good to unspool
Good to be

Silence
Silence
When the words were intense
and the soul no longer
conceded to comfort
Thoughts got blind
and the heart beats in tension
Silence
*****
Absent are ardent
words
an inability to fill gaps
meanings suspended
seasons slowly stretching
Silence
*****
A thin veil
hiding behind
a thick weight
suppressing many a
sound
Silence
*****
Deeply delving into a void
seeking the significance
of a still word
trying to explain an unexplained
world
Silence ...

Soul searching
Where art thou”, I heard you say
Whilst searching for the answers
Don’t look out there, look inside yourself
For only there will you find the answers
“But how” you asked, with a puzzled face
“I can’t hear any voices”
You aren’t to listen, I replied
You know through intuition

May the force be with you…
A fine young chap once told me
That I am the bees knees
He told me that I was a dreamer
And an absolute fucking G
He told me to be cautious
Of the fear that haunts the soul
He told me it can even be heard
When you put your head up against a bowl
He told me I was a master
Of sorcery of course
This for a fact I already knew
As I was born with the force ✨
That I am the bees knees
He told me that I was a dreamer
And an absolute fucking G
He told me to be cautious
Of the fear that haunts the soul
He told me it can even be heard
When you put your head up against a bowl
He told me I was a master
Of sorcery of course
This for a fact I already knew
As I was born with the force ✨

eventide hymn
"Broken loaves, abundant giving;
broken lives, abundant living." - CAB
“In the morning there is meaning, in the
evening there is feeling.”
—Gertrude Stein
i will be your peace
in the midst of all your pieces,
for i hear your pleas,
as your helplessness increases.
