Positive Thought Manifests EASTRIDGE
Over the mountain's
Eastern ridge
Of a sudden came
mornlight's dawnbridge
Which distilled into
matter
and became
a light ladder
transporting
them..
wherever they wished
(to Jerry and N Eastridge)
Catch A Fire In The Sky
Catch a fire in the sky
with water.
Catch sun father
with liquid daughter.
Water is not the foe
of fire.
Together rainbows they
do sire.
SUN ARRAYS HIMSELF
Over the lip of the earth
broke into night the sun.
A little cloud
.. a baby herald
ran and told everyone.
Each little cloud seemed to
catch the sun
and to steal his homerun.
But as they were later
rained away, we knew
his ball has gone
further than anyone's.
Himself sun arrays
in His own rays
and as He arises
and all birds He arouses
His rays are of
pink and purple and rose.
(to MBC of Columbus)
OBEDIENT ANGELS
Angels are obedient
to our wishes.
They are genies
in the bottles of
our hearts,
waiting to be prayed
into appearing..
waiting to
make concrete
our deepest desires.
IN MAY TO BLOOM COME THE BEES
She prayed and
into inviolate ethers
suddenly came
ultraviolet feathers
delicate gossamer
wings of thought
turning to real
all maybes and oughts
turning the verb of may
to that of be
as surely as in May
.. to bloom come the bees
DESIRE IS DESTINY
The foghorn sounds in the mysterious
mists.. a lonely call for his mate.
The train whistles
beckon to our desire which is our destiny.
The sea sings to the shore.
In Siberia snow falls soundlessly.
In a world beyond time
horses' hooves on cobbled stones,
the crash of the cataract,
the boom of the ocean,
the cheerful babbling of the brook,
.. the first trill of absolute joy
from a predawn bird.. a trill
which is a sword to
Dracula's night curtains.
First and last, God is in our
ears.
CLEMENT STONE
Pain is the clement stone,
the hard seed within soft fruit.
Those who chip away at it destroy life.
Others shine on it with sunlove
and rain mercy upon it..
and watch as green fire tongues
forklaugh through the hard
shell and to a sapling grow
.. which to a tree gives sway
which gives away
all her free food of life
From her fruit come unnumbered
pastel bloomed
and bright harvest orchards.
SNAKEBITE
God the alchemist
has turned her snakebite
into a healing antidote
as Lord Shiva's angry
stare
has filled all with
eternal shakti.

BREAK OF DAY
The break of day!
The crack of dawn!
Look not at night's
shellshards
but at the newbird sun!
(to David Wright)
SPIDER WEB BEJEWELED
A spider web
dew bejeweled
.. shining necklace
hung on the throat
of dawn..
though its builder
means it as a deathtrap
for innocents
.. God has other plans
Sai Baba: God looks on sin as a mother looks on her baby's
first halting attempts to walk
**
Jillelamudi: The Mother sees no fault in any of her chldren
**
The unripe fruit.. is it evil because it is not sweet?
