EACH NIGHT THE TREE OF NUT
Each night
the Tree of Nut
Out of Naught
knits
neat
nuts
MIRACLE POINT
The lion skull in the desert
shelters a bee hive.
Sea water through the aeons
has made of rock a rookery.
Suffering has carved new
caves in the heart.
In Tara's empty space
miracles take place.
WOODPECKER ARCHITECT
The melody of his pecking
is a counterpoint to the wind
How ironic that his tapping
is strangely relaxing
as he creates
not skyscrapers vulnerable
but the holy of
holies.. emptiness...
POPLARS ARE POPULAR
The weary traveling
birds.. make
Italian poplars
popular..
a sanctuary.. a hostel
without
charge

Author's Comments on "Miracle Point"
Some quotes on not asking and on love: Charles Dickens: The ocean asks for nothing but those who stand by her shores gradually attune themselves to her rhythm. ** Sai Baba: Those who ask for love in return are coolies demanding wages. ** DeGourmont: The little girl does not ask return love from her doll. She loves. That is all. ** Lao Tsu: In stillness the muddied water returns to clarity. ** Lao Tsu paraphrased: Water does not force its way. ** St John of the Cross: When the evening of this life comes, we will be judged by love. ** Yugavatar Sai Baba: The most heinous sin is to hurt the heart of another. ** John Joseph Price: Whatever the question, love is the answer. Sai Baba: All beings are beautiful seen through eyes of love ** Buckminster Fuller: Love is a verb, not a noun. ** **
