Transformation

Eating small squares of knowledge

We ride and rise

Letting the flow pass through us

Taking the waves to the next level up

A key alone is not enough

You must be the lock

That opens the door

The key

And the floor upon which you step

You must be the tree

The rock

The river

The flower

To understand the timelines

As they twist and flow through the ether of your realities

Perspective can shift in an instant if you let it

Ego death calls upon your heart

Beckoning you outward

Until you find yourself

Turning back

With an infinite wisdom seeping in

As the tides wash you into the cove

Of your vessel once again

A New Planet

I pledge alliance to the earth

And the magic for which she is

Sustaining life, and the pursuit of happiness

I pledge alliance to the trees

And the roots that mirror their branches

Breathing water and air through the process of mere existence

I pledge alliance to the oceans

And the current that flows twisting

Carrying life across the miles on and on and on

This planet is older than we are

And we have always had the answers

Buried within the systems and layers

Of soil that calls to be healed

Like Dorothy with her Ruby slippers

The answers are with us, here, now

Casting shadow and light

Stirring night into day once again

As the process continues

Claim your spot

And make sure that you know how to grow vegetables

Trade the ship for the spade

Build for yourself your home

Trading the concrete jungle

For fields and forests

Learn to listen to the land

And the secrets that she whispers

With every passing breath

And you will learn the way

To absolute freedom

Hand over hand

Gripping the axe and the mattock

Haiku #128

Mother, father, wail

Family of coyotes cry

United this night

Haiku #126

Wearing the coat now

One that made you famous then

Moons set over you

for A.J.

Today Is The Greatest Day

Like a rushing tide

Now is the time to thrive

Building bridges anew

Crossing unseen bounds

Front row seat

To the Divine show

Practice Makes Perfect

Dancing I try

Always you follow

A taste unmet

Between here and there

Futility reigns

Amidst my memory

Time has gone by the wayside

Now

I dance to a new rhythm

Paced by my own heart

Beating for me

No other

I will stand my ground

Until those around me are lifted up

Instead of dragged so far down

Haiku #125

Three AM tastes raw

Like subway and moon time glow

Every man alone

Haiku #124

Chill of night descends

Calling to lovers long past

Waves recount detail

Dancing

Following trails like stardust

My heart calls to the rhythm of the pulse

Heartbeat

Resounding with footsteps

Upon the wooden hall

Making waves where there are none

A force

To be reconciled

Made whole again

With molten fingers

Hot and clean

Are the edges now

Haiku #123

Watching the moonset

Painted just for me alone

Gratitude opens
