Deliberating

the answer may come,

Listening

an answer may arise.

If I have limitless answers,

should I look for the one

or attempt to find the many?

In the midst of
uncertainty
there is calm
in the heart
of those who marry
the wind.

Peace is not some feeling ( Read more... )

Memories
coated in gold cellophane,
packaged where
I cannot know
what actually happened,
and what just seems
a beautiful reminder
of a time.

Culled from the dream,
my mind is left
no passion or steam
to push the sails.

Yet,
why need I drift
when the world is here
what is the gift
I seek to find beyond me?

If I find
the world beyond
Where is mind

I do no seek
beyond myself,
but the peak
that is already here.

There is no blessing
that can take away sorrow,
no elixir that
dissipates the pain of life,
to dull it
is to take all possibility with it,
for suffering
is the invitation to wake.

Show your own way,
with your own light,
of the spirit that is always with you.

Called many names
given praise in many faiths,
the shared flame
enlightenment does not ignite,
but touches that which already lives.

No ceremony
belief
or ritual
gives you
that which always is.

Touch
that which can't
be caught in words.

What lives
in the blossom
breaths in the branch
came from clay
trickling down the sunbeam
shining in that spark
that lives beyond beginning.

There,
the bloom waits
for the branch
the clay, the sun
and spark
to wake.

 I'm not a freak or superman
Could you believe I'm just a man
who thinks the world is falling down
who wants to take away the crown

of all the people who won't see
what you and I have learned to be,
hold me the way you did that night
when you taught me that flight

is just the letting go
to let the world show
how easy it is to fall
to my bloodied knees and ( Read more... )
