Summer's Song

Day 22 Month 10 (13 Moon Calendar)

audio/video

in the living green around
whispering wind moves over ground
rustling leaves then moving on
as springtime yields to summer's song

in which birds which rose at crack of dawn,
long before our habits worn,
sing their morning reveries
waking as a dream now flees

into somewhere in the mind
somewhere which we cannot find
as we return from deep asleep
to wide awake in which we keep

listening to the world around
the whispering wind, its rushing sound
the buzz of wasps and bumblebees
the whoosh of breath which comes then leaves

as springtime yields to summer's song
desiring only to belong
in the living green around
as whispering wind moves over ground

Seeking You

Day 19 Month 10 (13 Moon Calendar)

audio/video

while by the ocean where waves splash
on the seashore with a crash
seagulls squawk as eagles soar
for a moment there's a door

an entranceway into the sublime
awareness that's in my mind
an inner place where I see you
can you feel and see me too?

thinking thoughts which disappear
so very close, so very near
with Sun rising in the sky
releasing thoughts away to fly

radiating seeking you
words like birds keep flying to
the secret place in which you hide
can you hear me deep inside?

for a moment out of time
a moment neither yours nor mine
we're together while apart
I can feel you in my heart

warm sensations overflow
this is a way that we can know
that thinking thoughts which disappear
can bring us close, can bring us near

Closing Eyes

Day 17 Month 10 (13 Moon Calendar)

audio/video

closing eyes it disappears
all the world and all our fears
closing eyes so patterns form
colours move as we're reborn -

in our minds where thoughts stream by
unattached away they fly
in our minds we float along
in inner space where we belong
-
sitting still and breathing in
breathing out to settle in
meditation's ship afloat
on inner seas...like in a boat
-
breathing in and out and in
here-and-now's where we begin
breathing in and out and in
waking up while deep within -

in our minds we float along
in inner space where we belong
in our minds where thoughts stream by
we let go...away we fly

Metamorphizing

Day 16 Month 10 (13 Moon Calendar)

audio/video

on a river in a boat
flowing downstream as I float
drifting slowly through a field
all that I can do is yield

while relaxing to become
ever more part of the One
sunlight falling from the sky
as I rise like a butterfly

still the same yet feeling strange
metamorphizing I change
fluttering bravely through the air
looking down on places where

shrinking vistas disappear
moving through the stratosphere
darker skies and brighter Sun
into space there to become

free of Earth and gravity
metamorphizing I'm free
while relaxing to become
more and more part of the One
