The Incomprehensible
I found God not merely in the scripture, but in the beauty and complexity of nature and the universe.
From the compound eye to the camera lens,
the natural shape of the circle to the wagon wheel,
from the flight of the bird to the creation of the plane.
Just as the camera, the wheel, and the plane were crafted by their creators, did not the eye, the first forms of the universe, and the bird require such craftsmanship?
Can evolution not explain away these complex creations? Evolution is thought evoking, but it leaves one burning...

the heaviness of being
the clouds press in on me
and I struggle within myself
with the heaviness of being
face to face with God
he's not as you think he is
all shining love
I've seen otherwise
in the natural order of things
both below and above
yes he is beautiful
there is no doubt about that
my eyes attest to this fact
you witness it in creation
in the evolution of his soul
but there is a darker side
most dare not see him naked
though I have and after I did
my infantile beliefs were shattered ...

When Death Comes ( After Mary Oliver )
When death comes,
let them say I mastered
the anatomy of words,
that my life was poetry.
Let them say I humbled
that bulwark of ego –
that bane of pride,
leaving a quiet legacy.
Not with the flying colors
of a Rainbow lorikeet
capturing its beholder's eye;
but, a female cardinal –
her lackluster appearance
ensuring the nest survives.
Let them, despite my human
mistakes and many faults,
say I at least loved poetry –
that my...

Psychedelic rambles part ?
It takes only a small amount of psilocybin to toss me into a state of ultra awareness and total beingness accompanied by endless realizations about this universe.
Followed by an examination of humans and our existence.
What does it means to be human,
Why are we sticking into 3 dimensional space occupying time in these monkey bodies,
What is next for us human's,
What is to become of us?
I also noticed that when I take psilocybin
I begin to analyze human behavior, my own or everybody else's and I realize just how weird we are. everything about us is so...

“ Grounding”
Silence is a wet dew
misting a thirsty
Lea at dawn.
Serenity is the cool
whisper
Sephyrs exhale
upon an artic
mountain top.
Contemplation is a
blissful dream during
a secret twilighted
tryst.
Loneliness
loneliness need not
be unkind.
It can be
Contemplation
Serenity
Silence
or all 3.
It is a time to commune with one’s self
to walk with Gaia’s charge
and ground. . .
Bare feet & Grounding.
misting a thirsty
Lea at dawn.
Serenity is the cool
whisper
Sephyrs exhale
upon an artic
mountain top.
Contemplation is a
blissful dream during
a secret twilighted
tryst.
Loneliness
loneliness need not

It can be
Contemplation

Silence
or all 3.

Elemental
Deep seated earth roots all space-time
As clear crystal sheets flow, cascade
carrying away reflections untrue
Below molten flames bellow
sulphured depths swirl volcanic
with fire consuming-transformation
While upon the surface
cooling breeze lifts
filling nostrils, lungs, cavities
connecting self to self to others
All of this a ritual eternal
unfurling body
calming...

Universe Speaks
True signs -
you know when they are real;
the doing of the cosmic gods,
my messenger comes in the form
of deer.
Again,
a set of random events crash
into one beautifully significant flash,
so blatant, I feel it in the depths of my soul;
I am moved to heights unknown,
as I try not to succumb to awe.
Nothing more enlightening
than transparency!
In my ignorance
I planned to complete your song,
exactly one week from the start,
that night, as we finished up
in raw silence, eyes looked to the sky;
we both...

Sweet Chariot
His age is the clear factor
The decline of his defenses
A brittle life it surely seems
As harpies circle overhead
Shrilling insults by the score
His ears ring beneath their wings
And he knows his time is slight
But bright angels intervene
Find him shelter from turmoil
And that sweet chariot, swinging low
Lifts him with a sense of peace
He prays, expresses gratitude
Forgiven for his sins, a profane life
And the turbulence of bygone days.
The decline of his defenses
A brittle life it surely seems
As harpies circle overhead
Shrilling insults by the score
His ears ring beneath their wings
And he knows his time is slight
But bright angels intervene
Find him shelter from turmoil
And that sweet chariot, swinging low
Lifts him with a sense of peace
He prays, expresses gratitude
Forgiven for his sins, a profane life
And the turbulence of bygone days.

Veil Of Darkness
This poem was a direct narrative regarding evil spirits my great grann in the Republic of Haiti seems to ramble about coming to pass
Mache nan lafwa (Walk In Faith)
Veil of darkness
Midnight mind where twisted souls lark
The light of the way dims its wicked pride
Clad in disdain for a sinful ride
Moon dances by spits of fire
Raised flames of immortality its devious desires
Who speaks for tongues so virtuous in deceit
The abomination answered, of a conjured risen beast
Walks upright, horns hidden so serene and so true ...

A Sinner's Prayer
My Lord, My God
I pray to thee
Bestow upon us forgiveness
Just thy blessings upon me
For to say that I haven't sin
I've offended thee again
Please excuse the flesh
Which causes our shame
Being of essence I bare witness
Mankind claims supremacy but needs forgiveness
Blessed is he that bows before thee
I appear to plea upon bent knees
Facing each transgression with an apology
And with bent head begging for your mercy
Not only for myself but also for my sisters and brothers
For how can I be saved without...

Wolf brother
There is kin-ship here,
Not an ounce of fear,
Deep in your territory,
But a moment of pure clarity,
Form may differ between you and I,
Yet it is impossible to deny,
Our minds have something shared,
Eyes lay our souls bared,
Above all else pack comes first,
Family, our life long thirst,
So as I look into lupine eyes,
I see a creature I could never despise,
Because in you I find my twin,
The two of us interspecies kin,
A lingering farewell glance,
Before you lithely prance,
Back into woodland cover,
My wolf...
