TWO SCORE AND SOME YEARS

 

It is two score and seven years

since our nation shed tears.

 

Footnote:

Though J Edgar Hoover hated King,

the warmongering plutocrats did not

plot King's murder until he began to

combine the civil rights movement

with the antiwar movement.

 

When 2 black garbage collectors

were killed in their machine, Memphis

workers struck.  Dr King was invited

to Memphis and there was struck

down by the government-hired

James Earl Ray who like Lee Harvey

Oswald was a patsy.

NATE AIT THE BAIT

 

When the big fish

Nate ate

he ate

all the bait.

 

Footnote:

Fish are at the top of the ocean food chain, eating all the insecticides, chemical poisons, radiation, etc. that their littler victims ate.  Meat is at the top of the land food chain. A 1,000 pound cow retains all  the nonbiodegradable insecticides she ate before her murder. The average number of food pounds is 21,000.

ONE WINDOW ONLY

 

A dream of a friend

who had an apartment

with only 1 window, a

very big one. The dreamer

felt that if the window broke

the apartment could not

be lived in.

 

Awakening it seemed

the apartment was the soul

of the person.... who could

see in one direction only.

THE LIBERATION OF AARON ROSEN

 

Aaron the snowflake

began to melt

and slide down

the leaf... but on

his journey he

was stopped in

his tracks by a frost.

 

Aaron Rosen

was refrozen.

 

Time went by.

Now he has

truly melted

The sun shone

consistently

He is

returning forever

to the waiting sea.

YAWNING AND STRETCHING

 

Spring.... Mother Earth

yawns and stretches

and then tosses off

her winter covers

as she prepares for

her bright sun lover

A LITANY OF PORTALS TO TRANCE

Someone who questioned the self realized master Nisargadatta Maharaj
spoke of being able to achieve a trance or samadhi-like state through alcohol, marijuana,
a high fever, LSD or other drug, breath exercises, music, shaking, (the origin
of which is the Sanskrit word shakti which means energy), dancing, dizziness
through whirling, praying, sexual activity, fasting, or mantras, (to which list running or other
strenuous exercise, hypnosis, and meditation could be added). But, said the questioner, the experience
always faded. It was not permanent.
Maharaj subsequently replied that when the questioner was willing to forego comfort
for the discipline of the path, he would find permanent ecstasy.

 

Footnote:
I Am That is a book in which questions seekers ask Nisargadatta Maharaj
and his answers are transcribed from a Marathi tape recording by Maurice Frydman.

TWOGETHER

 

The two
twogether
twoward
the twilight...
twin souls
never twain...
their minds
in each other
entwined

 

Footnote:

This writer recognizes that self realized masters have no needs...

What is parabdha karma? It is that karma remaining after a soul is liberated.

It has been compared to the revolutions of a fan after a plug is pulled.

Not all spiritual masters live alone.

ROSECOLORED GLASSES

 

When he's flush

the lush

sees all women

as luscious

 

Footnote:

No one is defined by his habits.

No one can be circumscribed by

the limiting label 'drunk'.

We are all one with God whether or

not we are aware of it.

 

 

truth conquers all

 

 

 

.................

 

days and nights meld into one,

the sun an moon spar for my attention,

9,10,11,12, they begin to merge and look the same,

life becomes deranged, monotonous,strange,

yet all needs miraculously see their place,

no race for me, a gentle hand guides my pace,

still time to smell the cool breezes that visit,

still joy that fills my heart with each smile so freely given,

a baby's breath upon my shoulder,

watching as all of life becomes one day older,

younger in newly inspired tones,

melodious sounds, like music roams

every cranny of space in my soul, 

rhythmic tides that flow in and out, 

like the bubbling caps of ocean foam,

encumbrances placed in my path 

become small, and me,

I become tall, 

and just have to smile inside at the fact

i have the strength to face it all.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

This poem was inspired thinking about how when we live our truth, obstacles in our path may not dissapper, but they sure do get a whole lot smaller somehow.
