MAVOORNING
Out of the sea
the sun aborning
with his awesome
light of morning
Not adorned
but all adorning
says to you
"Come!
My Mavoorning!"
(to E Lynch)
BLUE PEACE
The vertical shaft
of yellow sunlight
becomes horizontal
gold on the seas
The vertical white
foam of the cataract
at fallsbase turns
to pools of blue peace.
ADDLEPATED
her head lost in clouds
of appleblossoms
.. they said the tree was addlepated
she didn't care
full of twittering birds
.. she would be apple-gated
EARTH GIFTS
A woman sits on top
of the Grand Canyon
meditating.. as a rainbow
arcing over the void
anchored in the rock
and the rising sun
diamonding the crest
compete for her attention..
but she is lost in ecstasy
DREAM BOATS
Very rarely would she
allow violent wakeup alarms
to catapult her out
of her dream balloon..
.. and the rooster's crow
unnecessary if animals
not imprisoned
Dream gurus let
dreams slowly secede
as the tidal flow
in quiet recedes
they remember more
sometimes God is
burning off
debts with nightmares
some dreamers write them down in
journals and later see
that other dream actors were
foretelling angels who
gave them prophecies
HARD SUN SOFT MOON
Hard is the sunlight of
noon
Soft is the light
of the moon
BLUELIGHT SEA
All beings swim
in the bluelight seas
of God's joy
May its
gentle waves lull
my honeycomb mind to sleep
as into my soul
I allow them to seep
May they pour into
my mind's honeycomb
from my heart
.. stilling her buzz..
.. May I be the berry
teabag
which in the teawater
steeps
The windseas
of God's joy
surround all beings
May they oer me sweep
for my soul is awake
when my body sleeps
May peace come ticking
slow..
May peace come dripping
slow
May peace on clouds float
May peace in rivers flow
BRIDGE OF GOLD
The sun arose
and then unrolled
across the lake
a bridge of gold
saying..
come into My Warm
get out of the cold
.. I am with you
today
as I have been of old
CLOUDWATCHING
When I focus on
the clouds
semaphoring
the azure blue
.. floating flotillas
of white hue
...their slow
sailing
grabs my soul
and slows
down
my sails
EMBEZZLING BEE
The rising sun does subdue
the chalices of morning dew
and the bees abandon being
.. for it is now time to do
Embezzling bee busily buzzles
when he is begonia bound
But bumble bee in calm bliss
guzzles
When his blooms are found.
HEART RADIO DISPATCHER
The mind is a radio dispatcher which can through prayer send angels
to those in need. But her heart..
need do nothing at all..
the angels
respond.. to unspoken calls.
(to Louise S)
BLOSSOM VENUTIAN
At Blossom Center,
they no longer play
martial music
for God does not
arm blooms
LOVECRAFT
If meditation is as sure
as electricity and a matter of
the science of mental wiring
then the first steps to the plane of
love.. are the stairway of discipline..
a lovecraft.
LOVEWEAVING
Her prayers
are needles weaving
the loose threads loveless
into lovely lovelace
as surely
as the fir tree
ravels
pinebranches
out of space.
OCEAN OF THE SELF
In prayer she walked
the plank to the ocean
of her self
which daily views
sun's dawning
from the continental
shelf
Why had she resisted
so... this immersion
in ecstasy
Why had she resisted
so.. this diving
in Love's seas
MOON IS NOT SUN
2 balls in the sky
seem the same size..
the sun
and the moon
.. but the sun
is many many times
larger..
as we approach God
we realize more
His omnipotence
OCEAN SWALLOWS
In the ocean's
becalmed depths
he swallows
the thought waves
he creates in the shallows.
QUEEN ANNE'S LACE
Queen Anne's Lace
Sun's Crystallized Grace
Her roots grow much deeper
to the waters of God
She is able to make
pure lace out of sod.
(to A Hudson)
COTYLEDON
The bean seed uncurls
into 2 leaves..
chalice halves
opening to receive
the sun
TRIPLE CROWN
Faster and more impatient
than a triple crown champion
horse is the mind..
to lead such a horse
into attention,
to make an elephant
stand on a circus stool..
.. is to meditate
(horseracing and circuses
are inherently cruel)
MONK KEY
In that Buddhist
life
his meditation
was the monk's key
.. when he first knew
he was one
with every weed,
fish, and monkey
WOODPECKER
Why is the
woodpecker's
mantra drill
more peaceful
than the other
birds' trills?
SHAKTIPAT
Like a wick-quick-
ning flame
which transmits
all its fire
is shaktipat
which gives all power
yet keeps its own
entire.
BOXING THE SEA
Standing on the shore
of her mind she tries to
pin down each wave of thought..
avoiding the beyondmind
depths as she continues
to try to control
the mental ocean's endless roll
One cannot put the sea in a box
nor can one boxpunch the sea
VORTEX OF LIGHT
Sunrise
its vortex of light
.. its crimson flaming funnel
can magnetize one out of night
into dawning day's
light tunnels
MAYESHWARA
Waves ever beseech
the sandhearted beach
when their focus
should be on the sun
UNIVERSAL ARATI
Goldfish swim their gold flames
in circles below the lotus bloom.
Bees wave their gold fire bodies
round the apple blossoms
Moons later, fruit flies join them
in swirling round the fallen fruit.
Sunflowers twirl their gold petals
round the sun.
Sunlit moons circumscribe planets which
orbit the central sun.
All hearts wave ignited love round
the Indweller, Omnipresent and
therefore in each being.
LILIES BENEATH THE BRIDGE
Earthlings
walk over the bridge but for the bees, the action is with master lilies below
Out of the sea the sun aborning Not adorned but all adorning
With His awesome light of morning Says to you "Come! My Mavoorning!" (to Ethel Lynch)
*
O God Dweller in the Heart of Every Being, release now and forever the joy latent in all
*
Jack in the Pulpit has taken up silence.. to his new sermon none said 'ahem' ...many said 'amen'...
*
Pen chisel carves tunnel out of feelings' mine cavein
*
God and humans both know of love unreturned. The difference is: about this God is unconcerned.
*
Held the dew the concave butternut better than the convex buttercup
*
Dawn drawn dandelions sun-summoned... spread gold parasols
... another sundown will bring.. a diaspora of dandelion down
*
From all eyes shines God's light ... from every human, bird, fish and mite
*
The mind of a genius is a sky piled high with lightning
forked thunderclouds. The desireless mind of a master is blue with nary
a cloud.
*
She was not forced to walk the plank into the ocean of her Self
... she was ready to jump
*
Deity winds blow into the Lungs, the Temple of Breath
*
Sipping from a teacup he mulled over the day's deeds
... from a teacup brewed from red clover seeds
*
Trees of January like Job continue to lift their arms in prayer
though they are powerless, unable to speak or move, their leaves stolen.
*
He took off his boots, but still the discalced elephant
caused harm and so he decided to meditate in the pond.
*
As a telescope turns the pinprick of light
into the jewel of Jupiter, meditation gives tangible
proximity to God who indwells all
