Silent Sounds Of Beauty
Even within the thoughts
experienced and fleeting,
traced with shadow and light
what becomes more precious
as moments are awakened,
every laughter, every tear,
through each painted sky
illuminated with flowing dreams
and silent sounds of beauty.

veil.
if a human tries to conceal
all the multifaceted tones
they have about themselves,
it only comes back to
haunt them.

The scholar
Walking around, the same street signs as before.
I’m thinking, what do I really know?
Tho I’ve changed, my thoughts have never turned,
from the words we spoke
And now we’re miles away
So many things we can’t say
One day I’ll run away and life is what I’ll capture
I wonder what you’ll think
So if you ever hear my name,
and see lights all around.
Just know I’m living life fully,
don’t think I’m ever coming down
Got some things, on my mind.
Not really sure what I’ll do.
Maybe I’ll go ask the scholar,
but I’m...

PARODYddle
a rhymed, mirrored double octet
“One's life is an act with no actor, and thus it has always been recognized that the insane man that has lost his mind is a parody of the sage who has transcended his ego…” Alan Watts
fools
r u s h i n
where brave men
f e a r t o t a r r y.
m e n of shrimpy minds
challenge ancient w i s d o m.
blind men boast of seeing new light,
deaf men hear words never spoken.
dumb men fix things never broken,
wrong men...

Calculations in the root of -1
Starveling's feast
Inside's out
Max's least
Zealot's doubt
Love's indifference
Hate's infatuation
Ugly's splendiference
Beauty's defascination
Bitter's sweet
Poison's pure
Victory's defeat
Loss's endure
Everyday's miracles
Rarity's plains
Yesterday's oracles
Tomorrow's insanes
Something's nothings
Nothing's some
Some things know things
Know thing's sum
Inside's out
Max's least
Zealot's doubt
Love's indifference
Hate's infatuation
Ugly's splendiference
Beauty's defascination
Bitter's sweet
Poison's pure
Victory's defeat
Loss's endure
Everyday's miracles
Rarity's plains
Yesterday's oracles
Tomorrow's insanes
Something's nothings
Nothing's some
Some things know things
Know thing's sum

Early Riser
New day, you lie still, with your eyes closed
but awake, ready to begin all over,
new and fresh, I will ride with you,
unplanned, we are up before the sun
awakes, he still lies there dreaming
while we yawn that first real yawn,
we stretch out, last night's fog
finally lifting from our eyes, standing
on our own, we will see what happens
when the rest of the world joins us.

Changed In My Pocket
be the change you want to see
float like a butterfly sting like a bee
leave the door open when you go to pee
a closed mind can never change me

leave the door open when you go to pee
a closed mind can never change me

Adored
How sweet her charity
more fair than beauty,
I cannot speak more true
she displays her loveliness,
carried within her soul.

Beauty Is...
Beauty is seen through the eyes of my heart,
reaching, touching, seeing, from the inner depths of my soul.
Beauty takes command in any shape, size, or color,
of all living or dormant forms.
Beauty is the sun shining bright in the sky,
drying the teardrops of dew that cling to the petals of a rose.
Beauty is the fragrance of the flowers that bloom all around,
the miracles of nature in all its wondrous and splendid glory.
Beauty is the tree that grows so tall and strong,
with its branches reaching out toward God in the sky. ...

Fernweh
We have not forgotten"
Our promised return—
eternal recurrence: fernweh
this longed-for place;
gravitational deliverance
within each Soul's desire
Spiritual evolution spiraling
through lifetimes, emerging
true colors arising
from an infinite storm of beauty—
Empathy, Compassion, Joy
worldly respect, elemental care:
Earth, Water, Fire, Air—
transcendent interconnectedness
attaining balance:
sacrosanct reverence
helixed homing device ...
