Let Go (2)

Day 16 Month 1 (13 Moon Calendar)

audio/video

 let go thinking
allow its stream
to flow on by
it's time to dream

of awaking
mind now cleared
from distracting
hopes and fears

released by breathing's
rhythmic beat
let go time
awake to meet

always forever
the natural state
never too early
and never too late

floating, drifting
carried along
by unseen currents
where we belong

let go ego
let go thought
let go believing
all you've been taught

Transcendent Resplendent

Day 15 Month 1 (13 Moon Calendar)

audio/video

wind in the willows
blows and goes
invisibly moving
no one knows

except by the motion
of the trees
that the air's moving
that there's a breeze...

unseen molecules
hurry along
chasing each other
they all belong

to a vast ocean
we cannot see
spinning and swirling
'round you and me...

transcendent resplendent,
in space very rare,
reaching to heaven
thinning the air

caresses the plasma
in the betweens
of places not empty
filled with the beams

of starlight created
electrically
like the nerve-endings
in you and me

like our computers
and telephones
invisible power
wherever we roam...

Breakfast's Ghost

Day 13 Month 1 (13 Moon Calendar)

audio/video

morning mist on water fades
dew on grass drips from its blades
smell of brine, its salty tang
enervates, is tastier than

morning coffee, buttered toast
aromatic breakfast's ghost
which lingers here while by the sea
wishing you were here with me

it's my wish, it's my desire
to be with you by evening's fire
sharing moments in our lives
in changing times as love survives
-
the morning mist which fades away
the evening dew which does not stay
the Sun at noon, its shining light
the twinkling stars in sky at night...

all part of you and part of me
part of how we come to be
both in mind and too in heart
at the end as we each start

beginning always fresh each day
of feeling close so far away
each breath we breathe, each thought we think
each feeling felt, by these we're linked

Falling Dreams

Day 11 Month 1 (13 Moon Calendar)

audio/video

waking in a dream while sleeping
floating on a lake mind seeping
with consciousness and its great power
more and then much less each hour

each minute and each breath we're taking
another birth and death while waking
as far away a sound, voice calling
echoes all around while falling

heart in throat and feeling frightened
falling dreams release and lighten
with ends so very near and coming
'til gone along with fear we're one in

dreaming we're awake and soaring
above a shining lake... there's more in
every time we dream than thinking
we travel in a beam that's linking

each minute and each breath we're taking
each birth and each new death then waking
as far away a sound, voice calling
echoes all around while falling
