Surrounded by wind
Blowing into me

Melting away
Flowing into the universe
Hearing the enchanting music
Of the night
Into eternity
No time  No dimension
Space
Where all is all
Where God is

We Burn Like Stars  
We ignite and
spread our light
as sparks
we touch each other
who re-ignite
as we burn
and as
the eye
of the soul
we burst forth
LIGHT
to all
leaving our
glow
and then
we burn out
leaving behind
ALL 
which we ignite

12

The Stream
Life is a stream
rocks along the way
directions
“good” “bad”
each one giving direction
in the flow
to where?
Move on
along the bubbly, sometimes
turbulent, sometimes
still
 deep, shallow 
transparent, muddy
moving along
always onward
Life is spiritual
of which I am a piece of 
that everflowing current
of Light 
changing
shapes and
forms
evolving
always onward
Into ALL

Why?  
Since we are all stars 
why do we analyze the why 
of our brightness or 
the how of why we shine?  
And with an answer 
where is our content?

16

To the Hearted  
0 how fragile
Art your Beauty

It is 
the Eyes of the Gentle Deer

We Are One Spirit

The only reason we appear different
is that the Spirit
has entered  into our bodies
each of us a different form
Like air entering into
different paper bags
that’s filled up with the wind
and blown about or
different colored and shaped balloons filled with air!
So we humans are all filled with the same Spirit ~
we just get carried away
by our different shapes, sizes
and lose touch with the LIFE within us.
Each of us has a different purpose
because that’s why the Spirit
took on so many different forms.
No one body could possibly
carry out everything the Spirit wanted to do.
So the Spirit gave us each missions
to carry out while in this life.
And each of us was equipped
with the specific body and mind
to fulfill that mission.  That’s why we all look
different and think differently.
And if we carry out our Divine mission
and only you know your mission,
We will be very happy
and will see how we are all important.
in this universal symphony of life!

Beauty
Radiating from within to without
In sensitive sparkle
The flower of the face blossoming
In a radiant smile
A beacon of hope
Along the way
A charm that magically
Unfolds
A gentle voice singing a serene song
To soothe the soul
A tearful eye so generously
Inviting tenderness
A relaxed rosy face calm, warm
To the touch of an eye
A face expressing
The Heart
The body balanced, alive, moving freely
In space and time
Playful -

I Am But a Beautiful Blossom  
My petals
multiply
to infinity
each new one is
younger
each old one
dies
making room for
more
as the past dies
the future enters
and I grow
and grow
so beautiful 

21

The Beauty of Youth  
in us All
As I age
I see in wonder
in awe
the brief life
of the leaves
whose season is but
for a Little time
whose innocent
birth
Life
fall
is but briefly
Beautiful
I see in wonder
in awe
the brief
Life span of a day
whose sunrise with
sunset
is but briefly
BEAUTIFUL
I see in wonder
in awe
the blossoming
of a flower
whose brief burst
of color
drops its petals
upon the ground below
BEAUTIFUL

I see in wonde
in awe
the brief tempest
of rain, snow, wind
which bloweth briefly about
BEAUTIFUL
As, I age
l grow younger
in wonder
in awe
of brief bursts of life
BEAUTIFUL
I see in wonder
in awe
the brief tiny teardrop
rolling down the cheek
in gladness
in sadness
BEAUTIFUL
As a leaf, a flower
my tempestuous day rises and falls
like a tear
rolling down the cheek
of
BEAUTY
the beauty of youth
in us all  

22

A Beautiful Day  
Beautiful white drifts of snow
falling white
lines pelletting
through space
falling
white slivers
lines between
my eyes
the ornate blue carvings
of buildings
between my eyes
interrupted
by slanting white lines
snow
swirls of falling
white lines
drifting through space
steadily
blanketing
pillows of white mountains
shaped by
white slanting lines
of ever falling
snow
joy

Towards a Higher Communication
We misuse sex as the ultimate achievement in communication.
The pay off!
When an embrace or affectionate touch is good enough.
Then interaction on an intellectual stanza.
You write your stanza.
and I write my stanza~
Or perhaps you are an Indian Chief
we sit in a teepee under the stars
and listen to the blowing wind
and gaze into each other's eyes
knowingly speaking
through our eyes and our auras and our hearts
while the birds sing and the trees whistle and the loon calls
and the symphony of earth brings the invisible alive
and we are no longer
and have transcended to the spirit in realms beyond time
and in all times
and all is all
around us within us
and we look into each other
go into each other
through eyes
and sounds and heat
and breathing life into each other
in warmth and tenderness
and bliss
 

24

To the Expecting Parents
The Seed within you grows a life
a beauty
from within each other
radiates outside of you
in beauty
of the life that grows within you.
From the LOVE for each other
prepares to come forth
from your nourishing Divinity.
To behold one day
another LIFE,
the beautiful GIFT
of your LOVE and devotion.
Your Gift to one another.
GOD's Gift to you.
Your GIFT to GOD and MANKIND.
Brings JOY to ALL.

25

The Newborn
Out of my pain
I give birth
to a new
beauty
an Idea
I express
Life anew
I am
more of what
I was
before
of God's
Beauty
a new Light
is BORN

26 

Gazing Back Upon His Face
Gentle
poised
relaxed
our finger tips touch 

*
strong  arms
level  embracing
gazing into each other
knowing 
I am 
His IDEA 
knowing 
He is 
My 
DELIGHT 
freely billowing upon pillows 
of baby angels
* 
AWESOME  

 

27

Infinite Door

Locked entrance
a  barred rectangle
protecting
reflecting glass squares
The Door
leading inward
through each
portal deeper
inward
to find a
reflection
of himself
looking out

28

Shadows 

as concrete
winding to day’s end
shapes of what
is known
figures that
occupy no space
and shape the thoughts
of what is yet unknown

29

Perpendicular

Joining in opposition
holding cross sections together
my disposition
whose constitution
must be for
the empty space
I was meant to fill

And Still Fell the Rains
 

THE ASSASSINATIONS
 NOVEMBER 22 and SEPTEMBER 11

A shock rang out
Throughout the world
         A Fragile  Deer 
                         Was felled
hysteria!
Frantic gasps
At the last of
Camelot!
As it was cruelly slaughtered
The innocence of every child-
Tears Anguish
A Dream Lost!
And all mankind
In silence
Motionless
All night
Pitter pattered
Still rains fell
On the roof of our car
As we rode together
Still stunned dreamlike into the night

Toward the motion picture show
Somewhere we knew someone
would tell us
it was alright that history
can go backwards
and we would find
that tragedy could be avoided
nevertheless the operation
of the world kept moving
We in solemn darkness
In another part
of the country
 immune  from tragedy
Knowing that news makes sense
Out of what we don’t understand
nor want to know about
That maybe it would report
the news of the day before..
Before he was reported dead ~
Somewhere in the black sky
The dark air carried
the news across the Country
while in the movie
Rock Hudson handsome clean
larger than life 
Couldn’t replace his image
nor the life we once knew
And the movie kept holding
our eyes in a blank stare
And as our hearts
kept beating
we didn’t have to think
As the motion picture
slowed down our need
to understand The tragedy
that was moving all around us
outside somewhere
that didn’t seem to have to make sense
We would make it
And still fell the reigns
of the last frontier of a nation
whose head was shattered by a bullet
While sheets of blood whipped across our faces
And the head exploded before our very eyes
POP!
And we are
Still trying to put the brains back in
 but they keep pouring out on our laps
And we keep trying to escape the carnage
and leap out of the car that keeps heading
into the night under the viaduct
towards the motion picture show
where Rock Hudson and the last of America
keep disappearing under the viaduct
where we can’t see them anymore
But we keep hearing that woman screaming
"OH NO! OH NO! OH MY GOD!
OH NO! NO! NO! OH NO NO NO!
And his body keeps falling down into our laps
As we rock the head which holds our plans
In his brains that keep running out all over our laps
In front of us someone keeps yelling
"THEY’RE KILLING US ALL! OH MY GOD!
THEY’RE GOING TO KILL US ALL!!"
And our car speeds away faster and faster
Like a pick pocket who just stole a purse
And another man who caught what happened
From the shots and the sirens and the confusion
And the screams and the bodies running and falling
And the echoes ricocheting off the tall buildings as
Camelot was being stolen away with 30 pieces of silver 
keeps still as he follows the action through a lens
in his home movie camera while we are held
by the rapid sequence of still framed action
in the motion picture show with Rock Hudson
scrambling the Air Force to take flight
in a pretend game with a pretend enemy
as though this were really happening.
And still
still
 still
Motionless pictures
of still
falling
rain
Falling
down
from those captured moments
of Camelot

   Over and over
again and again and
......................and
still  still  still
fell
the rain
..............

  

31

HEADLINES–TODAY ……And still fell the reigns…
the people ...bowed and prayed to
The neon god they made.......

A shock rang
Throughout the world 
A fragile deer
Was felled
Cruelly slaughtered
The innocence
Of every child
Tears no longer
Anguish no longer
Numbness
Motionless
Voiceless
And the people bowed and prayed
In the sounds of silence
Dreaming the nightmare
And the clouds formed
Darkness
All night 
And still fell
And still
                   Lost
* * 

32

Lull-a-by  
Hush little baby
rest in my arms
and I will hold you
in my bosom
gently
snuggling, your
warm weary body
in my cradle
rocking you
as my eyes watch over
Your innocent face
and together
we feel the rhythm of our hearts
and breaths flowing through 
within all around us 
together 
locked in a Lullaby of sweet loving embrace

33

Passing By
towards heavenward
streaks of white light
whose winds mark the busy flights
of bright winged couriers 
passing through 
moving currents about us
rearranging 
God’s creative Ideas 

34

ON MY WAY  
Alas!
You have come too late
for I have already gone
and I have moved along
and you already behind
I do not look back
for my way is up ahead

35

My Light  
is too great 
to be contained
it is the bright light
along the way 
a STAR 
which shows the way
like a shimmering DIAMOND in the Night 

36

The Brok’n Bridge
Only
LOVE can mend it
There is a BRIDGE
The BRIDGE is LOVE 
upon which we travel across to the other side 
Again and Again and ...............

37

The Best Show in Town  
People old, middle, young 
Scenery seasons, weather,
places constantly scene changes
Vast panoramas excitement
color vistas Conflict/Climax
Resolutions ever occurring
in the daily drama All of us
stock dancers, singers in
            “LIFE”

Hurry! only one per customer

38

What Will Be Will BE
‘’and all that jazz’
Awareness knows what Is
what was never was
nor ever Is
What will be
Is 
and what will be never Was
IS 
never was 
IS 
never will be 
IS 
always IS! 


39

“I am who (I) Am”
EYE am who (I) Am
All knowing
unknowing of
ALL who AM
Eye laugh on knowledge
f what newly
I Know
He knows
my foolish incapacity
to know what little of what He knows

40

As Planned
Like all nature
humans are consumed with their divine purpose
Like nature knowing the greatness of their dominion
Like all nature humans perceive All birth, growth, fall, death 
decay, rebirth Like all nature humans try to explain themselves relatively seeing their perspective nature which is naturally 
what is supposed to be 

41

Like the Giant Ant
We know only
our purpose
to build great
ant hills
castles upward
to a higher level
And we are constantly knocked around
by invisible something
which moves us
stops us
Our scientists and astrologers
our mathematicians and poets
our politicians and weathermen
provide us with the conclusive
1/infinity of
what we are all about
 So we think Bigger

42

The Painting
A blue canvas
with streaks of yellow white red black brown
a cloud. a sun, a mountain furry creatures 
and then a yellow white red black brown 
two-legged creature reaching out for the brush!

43

Like a Tree 
Like a tree our species 
come from a seed 
searches out 
takes 
root 
moves then into a trunk 
upward 
extending 
outward into reaching branches 
stems leaves 
a beautiful tree 
Yet unlike a tree 
which knows itself 
as all one entity, 
we perceive ourselves 
from separate branches
viewing other branches
stems leaves
as separate entities
Like a tree
we continue to grow
further upward and outward
becoming more beautiful branches
stems leaves
more aware of the vastness we begin to fill up
reaching extending closer to the Higher and Larger
DIVINE

44

The Plant
I plant my roots
and search
growing out new roots
in search
for spiritual food
to grow
stronger 
upward
outward
heavenward
feeding the beauty
of my blossoming self
yielding fruit leaves flowers branches
dropping seeds for which I multiply 
and continue to root
and search the deep rich spiritual soil
which is my anchor

45

IS “there is neither good nor bad,
but thinking maketh so”
The soil is dirty, black
A nutrient for growth
Decay goes into the soil where
It reproduces life
Thus death is rebirth
Giving is receiving
The passion of hatred is the passion of Love
Despair turns to hope
Darkness is exposed to Light
Ugliness is beauty revealed
Poison can be medicine
Life becomes death
Death leads to re birth

46

Of His Retribution
In Darkness
We fell
And the earth shook
Split apart!
And the Lord they God
WALKED
And the oceans opened up
the skies parted
The sun came to a halt
And ALL
Ceased
In awe
And the Most Holy One
In Silence
Fell us
Amidst our disturbance
We knelt
Before HIS GREATNESS
To awaken our souls
In stillness
With HIS TERRIBLE JOY
GLADDENING our HEARTS
From beautiful despair
Restoring us
In His 
DIVINE LIGHT

47

Because
it touches my soul
I cry for love
it is in the eyes
I long for it
it touches my beauty
I hope for it
it evolves
I fly
it is free
I am free
It is my Soul!
 

48
My Soul Cries For You
“Oh blessed God
O how I love You
My dear God of my being
how beautiful you appear
in all 
an’ dance with me through life
in joy and sorrow
in such sweet gentle soft
massaging measures of love”

“I call for you
I reach out to you
I long for you
from the depths of my core”

49

Eye See the Soul of God  
I see the Soul of God
in everyone
in Nature
His Beauty
His Vibration
all around me
in rhythmic harmony
to a Universal Symphony
It is the Music of My Soul!

50

The Music of God
The rhythm of God
is in all that is around us
each shape is a pattern of rhythm
the trees the limbs the branches the stems
the clouds the dust the wind the willow
the flowers
the snow the rain
the leaves
bodies in rhythm
of humming and buzzing
of color
evolving
around and around
in rhythm
radiating from within from without
touching
connecting in a symphony of life
everlasting
evolving in rhythms of music
the music of ALL
the music of GOD

51  

Upon the Wings of Bright Angels

In my flight to Thee 
On the wings of blessed angels
Do I fly To Heaven
O Thou O Lord
Has sought me out
And has delivered me
To Thy Holy Mountain. 

In Thy company let me dwell
Oh Divine One
With every breath I take
I take Thee In my bosom
To dwell forever and ever
O precious love
My devotion to Thee is
True!

52

POETrY is the NoTe _

who will hear our songs
and notice our dances
and awaken from our joys

according to the rhythms of the universe
joined by the chorus of angels!!
Move forces
through POETRY
greater than any stagnation
rotting our souls 
a Resurrection of Hearts in chorus
from everywhere 

53

An Epoch

In darkness
We fell
And the earth shook
Split apart!
God moved

The oceans opened up 
The skies parted
The sun came to a halt
And all ceased in awe
As the universe stopped
and knelt before
Its Majestic Creator

And His Spirit
Was felt by the force of the winds
As flights of angels
Made ready for
the Most Beautiful ONE
Trumpets called out
Echoing throughout every
Corridor of His Universe
Great legions of Angels   
Flew in Unison
While fires showered down            
from all the Stars in the galaxies
And the great portals of Heaven   
Burst open
Brilliantly lighting
Up the Universe
With Golden Bliss
Like moving lava
Melting  away
All  paradigms of separation
In the Universe
Bathing it with warm flowing golden splendor
and ALL became divine    
 ALL
was ~ is ~ would be
forever and ever

ONE

Hear Not Fear  
Hear as hear in HEART
With your EAR
Not your F in the ear
Which is FEAR

Which is HEAR
Hear then with your HEART !

THE PLAYING  FIELD  
The body is a playing field 
and “the sacred space” “the Temple of the Holy Spirit”
It hosts 2 teams: the intellect and the emotional
The ref and owner: the Spirit
The goal is for the two teams to battle it out thus reaching a
harmony or interdependence(a cooperation).
The intellect governs the emotional, the emotional which is
dependant on the emotional.
The intellect governs and discovers what is necessary for both the emotional and itself. 
The emotional is protected by the intellect.
However, the intellect quenches the fears and instinctive drives of
the emotional. 
The Spirit governs the needs and interaction of the intellect and
the emotional. neither team enslaves the other for “ego” driving reasons if the Spirit is allowed in to govern.
In other words if the emotional says it wants “lust” “drugs”
“power” dependency on things for emotional “food”“- that's what
will “feel good” and if it seduces the intellect into believing this is
true, both the intellect and the playingfield–the body suffer.
The spiritual must intercept or overrule the emotional desire
through restoring corrective and healthy thinking.
The spiritual passage to the field must be cleared for pure and
flow of the Divine.
The playing field must be kept strong, clean, and nurturing of the
two teams and its owner.
The playing field is only ours for a short time.

58

THE BOX

 What is the
UNIVERSE?
Is it an EXISTENCE?
IS it BEING ?
           
Or did someone invent an  illusion or
“perception” our common  illusion
which someone  calls “facts”
based on calendars 
and clocks which tell “time”
so someone can invent “history”
to tell us what we should
believe, dream, and become?
   
So to make it even more real
This illusion
someone invented
linear time and space and
 “science”
 to prove someone’s myth
or “religion” !

To study our own existence
Relatively speaking
which is always
and only understood in
our own – self or
universe is really redundant
anyway isn’t  it?

So who’s existence then
are we really studying or
                  …reinventing
                 …agreeing on
                …reincarnating?

Why then are the animals so afraid of us?
And why doesn’t Mother Nature
stop and pay alert attention to us-
to this serious circumstance
we seem to be embarked on?
and why don’t the trees
get so bent out of shape over all of this?
Does it really make a difference anyway?

It’s your Box!

We are Fallen Angels

And it is our task on this earth
Having fallen from Heaven
to regain our place back there.
Jesus came down to show us the Way back.
He told us very simply what to do:
~LOVE ONE ANOTHER AS I HAVE LOVED YOU ~
But in our foolish pride and drunken revelry
we killed the Messenger ~ The Son of God !
But in His Resurrection from the dead,
he showed us that even death has no victory over
our Spirit and he saved us from ever being 
permanently barred from Heaven.

If we believe that He has risen and
that He showed us the Way
Through Him is the Way to the Father
then we are saved and have a chance to get back.
Otherwise, if we do not believe
then we surely will die into nothing! 

"I am the Resurrection and the life: he that believes in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: and whoever lives and believes in me will never die."
John 11:25-26

"Father forgive them"   When all around me is gloom and doom. When I'm at 5th Ave. where the dope dealer is. The hooker squawks, the angry are scowling, the desperate are prowling, cars and busses pollute, danger is all about, misery, (and it could be anyplace where God is thought not to be about).  It is there that I need to find Him. Where there is Hate, Despair, let me sow Love, Hope. When the drugged and drunken woman throws her baby to the floor. When the angry husband beats his frightened wife. When the children are too terrified and hide from the horrors of the cruel world. The Lord asks us to find love. When it is too easy to injure the perpetrators; when it is too easy to hate and despise, to give up faith in mankind; to cry out in hopeless despair: it is then that We call upon God. “Where there is injury; He asks us to bring pardon.” “Where there is despair and loss of faith; He asks us to bring joy and gladness” “Where we are confused; He asks us to bring understanding.”

In HIS final and darkest hour. the greatest man to walk this earth,while grasping His last breath, cried out His last words “Father, Forgive them for they know not what they do.” He forgave his persecutors and all of us for our blindness. Those words invoked the Power of the Lord. For immediately, there was LOVE and that brought healing, hope, and salvation for ALL. 
It is written that GOD IS LOVE and he who abides in God abides in LOVE and so God in him. 
It is only through FORGIVENESS that we unleash this power of LOVE or GOD. 
GOD=LOVE.
