Faith Persisting
I may not still believe
in that same heaven of past years
But I do believe in perfection
In happiness
In love
I believe in someday
and today
I may not still believe what once I thought was true but I still and always will believe
in that same heaven of past years
But I do believe in perfection
In happiness
In love
I believe in someday
and today
I may not still believe what once I thought was true but I still and always will believe

small prayers
I rest a prayer on your heartbeat
like it's a breath of life
a breath of hope
and not just a reflection
of my own desperation
that keeps watching you
chase bad dreams
like there is a high
in there somewhere
if you just inhale hard enough
I place a prayer on my restless mind
and ask to dream of you
but the drugs that kill
the insomnia
bar the gateway to dreams
and instead I sleep like the dead
in empty nothingness
your face just elusive in the dark ...

On seeking wholeness in a hammock
the guilt that gnaws
the lessons learned
old wounds opened
new scars earned
grief gently bleaches
as sun peeks ‘round trees
loss ripens to gratitude
through tender breeze
the bygones are past
so receive what is real
not all things can last
but all can heal
.

Ajahn Wisdom
Who is it who is happy?
The mind is happy.
Who suffers?
The mind suffers.
Wherever these things arise, that’s where they cease
The mind is happy.
Who suffers?
The mind suffers.
Wherever these things arise, that’s where they cease

Twin.
One must protect the boundaries of love
With 3 hearts
Warrior, protector, lover
He came and wrapped me up
The day after the bird hit the window
My brother, black angel
Upside down wings
Feathers so soft
And warm
Against the skin of my arm
As you love me
Surround me
I let go
Dissipate
Cycles within cycles
Into the sea, liquidied
Turned to hide inside the earth
Became fire and expanded wide
Burn to ashes and rise
Just float
The wind, that is, its
Spinning

In the morning
In the morning
Across the land far and wide
Shines the great god in the skies
His wrath in distant storm clouds
Rumbles and flashes
Undisguised
Pain and anguish
Of the night
Into the air burns
The vanished rainbow
Of my dreams delight
Across the land far and wide
Shines the great god in the skies
His wrath in distant storm clouds
Rumbles and flashes
Undisguised
Pain and anguish
Of the night
Into the air burns
The vanished rainbow
Of my dreams delight

The Star Dream
The dream's setting
wasn't surprising
considering my Florida childhood
sand
blue sky
puffs of Cumulus clouds
Atlantic Ocean
a boy
maybe 10 years old
ran up to me
saying a star had fallen
excited
i followed him
planning to scoop it up with my shovel
into my little red pail
it would fit
because stars are small
with five points
or maybe i pictured six
since I was Jewish
we walked a ways
rounded a corner
and there before us
was a field of...

Warmth
Celestial glow;
illuminating warmth.
Cover me with your light.
Bathe my skin
with your radiance
and my soul
with your fire.
Awake in me
dormant desires
and slumbering senses.
Reignite my will
and renew my strength.
Energy-giving heat,
heal my heart
and expand my mind.
As I wait,
let your honeyed beams
permeate my very being.
Soften any rough edges
and purify me.
Cover me;
bring me into you
that warmth and light
might exude from me.

L'ESPRIT DE NOTRE DAME RÈGNE
Though be Her temporal édifice
reduced to smouldering ash.
Our Lady’s spirit stands uninjured
Perfectly erect
She who watched her Son’s skin bruised
And torn by brutal lash.
Also knew on that third day that He would resurrect.
Witnessing her Son in anguish
Bloodied by the crown of thorns.
Dying nailed on cruel cross,
side pierced by thrusted lance.
Then by holy miracle
She met her blessed Son reborn
When compared the task seems small,
rebuild Her house in France.

Samadhi
perpetual motion in the vast ocean
watching the tide on the shore
rising and falling as seagulls keep calling,
the young ones are asking for more
with colours enhanced by the slow dance
of sun in the morning sky -
over the water the heavens have brought a
moment, a feeling... goodbye
to the illusion of the confusion
seething all around
in news on the tv, internet and the
radio's endless sound
onwards and onwards towards to towards
a future that never arrives
thoughts tantalizing with visions surprising ...

Deeper Underground I Go
I can’t count the number
of poems I’ve expelled
beyond the busted seams
of experience
As if those seams could keep
the poems from my voice
How many emotions
were galactic tapestries
unraveling from a solar plexus
storing so many lives
How many verses reflect
the present
versus the ghosts
of a former century
And yet,
deeper underground
I go
The trick to navigating
the bowels of the beast
is not succumbing
