BE GHAT

For what eager mind
To diminish night sky
Ego flight and fancy’s anointed charismatic decree?
Bone bag miscalculated sense of permanence
Adrift amongst life’s perpetual gloom?
No answers, no answers, no questions, no doom.
As peaceful self transcends action
Left stymied unresolved
Perched in some fomented hierarchy of lie dream
Waking slumber.

FRAGILE ANSWER

young velvet window
your open voice

she only remembers
the secret glass question
we celebrate, explore, embrace.

porcelain sister
our slow rhythm
haunts the night long.

soft prisoner
this present peace.


~ magnetic poetry (myspace app), 9/10/08

BEGIN BEING

live
listen
grow with love
feel life’s flow

bless the weight of profound surrender
encourage compassion
balance
gratitude and
transform energy into serenity
challenge
inspire and dream

from fragile birth
sustain chaos
bear suffering
soothe
comfort
endure

when weary
laugh
let your mind rest
in this present light

nourish spirit
through touch
create self-awareness
as you recycle
trust
courage
joy

play hard
give out hope free
a happy heart heals

value change
wisdom
gentle grace
beauty
truth

ask
care
believe
though question understanding
pamper doubt

be still
accept the journey
meditate
breathe

wish peace for every soul
