Tear Down That Wall
The crying skies
tear down the walls
that I have built
with a fortified
strength, bearing
all the failures
I have gathered
unto those prying
eyes and a judging
world that finds
fault with all of life.
– The crying skies
tore down that wall
as I labored to rebuild it.
The crying skies
pour down their
tears to drown
out my cries of
fairness or the
right of privilege
in an unbalanced
and otherwise unfair
world where the
wear or repressed
and the strong exalted.
– The crying skies
poured down their
malice and I begged for mercy.
The crying skies
push down the
walls separating
the two worlds within
us, the practical and
the mythical, striving
to for a unity within
and outside of our
temporal bodies made
up of earth and stars,
finding our true balance.
– The crying skies
were pushing down their
weight and I sought out why.
The crying skies
were pouring down
their tears upon me
to wash away all the
stray thoughts I
thought I once knew
for certain and in that
new found uncertainty
I found a growing occurrence,
a coincidental synchronicity
within my beating heart.
– The crying skies
were pouring down their
tears and I found their joy.

Inward and Outward
In the valley
of the universe,
I found truth
resting in the
night river’s
room of sacred
dreams, wildly
holding to a
grasping emotion
where the heart
has painted the
skies below with
the colors of
dispare. In the
valley of the
universe I sought
out the strength
to be the sacred
mountain.
On the mountain
of life’s spirit
I discovered a
series of moments,
the continuum of
choices, that each
life lived fully must
make and in the
mind of that great
madness, life comes
to choose according to
their altered state of
perception for in the
eye of the archer the
vantage point is given
to see the reflected
oceans above where
the heart paints the
with love. On the
mountain of life’s
spirit I sought out
the strength to be
the receptive valley.

The Choice To Let Go
In this life
of perpetual
reciprocity – a
continuous game
of give and take –
we find that the
choices we make,
those intimate
decisions, come to
bare a great deal
of worth once the
tide of time or the
wave of circumstance
starts to recede in
our mind and we find a
substantial value to
the position of our
lives is greatly improved
by having made those
innocuous choices – often
by letting go of having
to force a choice – by
simply breathing and
letting events unfold
before us. In this vital
world of improbable
wisdom most often the
best choice we can make
is in not making a
choice, but to find the
space within the moments
where the path of life
will reveal itself to you.

Lost In A Labyrinth
Here I am – stranded,
wandering through
the dark groaping
the unknown walls
of an elaborate yet
undefined dream-
scape slowly inching
forward into your
heart filled of fear,
always taking up my
heavy heart and wearied
mind too fatigued to
want to go on, but
continue I do, for I
wish to see the light
that emanates at the
center of your heart’s
bewildering labyrinth.
Moment after moment,
I come back to myself
breathing through the
ceaseless questions of
why – what’s the point –
what is to gain – is all of
this struggle and pain
worth it, in the end – and
so I inhale greatly and slowly
exhale all those inane
questions and take another
step forward into your
burgeoning darkness;
allowing myself to get
completely lost within
your and your sacred love
so that when the time
of revealing comes, I can
find myself deep within
the folds of your heart.
Taking timid steps forward
as I proceed, I feel a slight
and swift breeze upon my
skin, a shuttering sigh in
morning’s wake inspires the
insipid breath that tempts the
heart to make and in finding
my breath move throughout
life I find my soul washing
upon the shores of eternity
forever lapping at the
fringes of strange sights
finally coming to stand
before the entrance – the
alter of your heart, finding
you were always there lighting
the candle that called me
always forward towards love.

Life’s Lessons Through Eternity
Through all
these years
I have finally
come to
learn a lesson
or two that
time has
endeavored
to expound
upon me:
That there
exists a
subtle strength
and a dynamic
courage in our
unprompted
vulnerability
that inspires a
growing gentleness
in this life.
Life has taken
a gentle hold
upon me and
spoke love into
my ear, urging
me to understand
the underlying
truth of this Earth:
That there is a
dynamic significance
and a static importance
in this petulant
moment expressing
fecundity throughout
the scope of life. So open
up your heart and see
what this life and your
time will be speaking
to you ever so sweetly,
it might just be
that you too are
worthy of love

In The Land Of The Djinn
It is there
within the
hearts of
wild men
and women
a like – a love
born from
the stars; it
is there but
infrequently
for they, once
aware of it’s
presence and
affect upon their
lives – they cast
it high above
their peripheral
grasp; so that
they can love as
the ocean loves,
and flow as the
moon flows through
the night waves
of the astrological
ocean where myths
and legends live. A
love is born from
the stars, being cast
from the depths of
the hearts of wild
men and women.
It is there
within the land
of the djinn
where mystics
rise to watch the
greatest vagrant
there ever was, that
wandering sun,
inhaling great
droughts of God’s
radiant love – being
present in my most
prescient moment,
that I bore witness to
life’s greatest
treasure, a moment
of spontaneous love
soon to pass yet
held within your
glancing smile wiping
that rosy dust off
of your blushing
cheek with the
glistening stars in
your eyes. It was there
in the land of the
djinn, while inhaling
droughts of God’s
radiant love where
I found you – the mystic
held in my heart.

A New Day Begins
This evening has
come setting this day’s
chilling rays of timid
light across the greying
skies of a melancholic
mind bent within the
visions of nostalgia.
It has brought the
stark sharpness of
indifference and
the cold bitterness
of languidness; so wrap
yourselves up in
your cocoon of indulgent
warmth tonight and sleep
while the mighty winds
of change howl.
The morning has
come bringing
with it the swift
winds of a changing
season, the hard
iciness and rigid
snows from yesterday’s
memories are starting
to thaw into the
warming Earth’s fertile
dreams. The wonderland of
ice and snow has begun
to melt the heart’s
that would seek to love
you anew. It is time
to wake up so, arise
from your self-made
cocoon of warming
security and wake up to
the wonderment of life.

To Look Out
It is wise
– looking out
at those darkening
skies where space
seems to shine
with little
jewels of light.
It is wiser still
– Feel the scope
of this grand
universe within
your beautiful
heart beating the
pulse of creation.
It is wise
– to wonder
in amazement
as the sparkling
flashes of light
pass by in arcs
of fantastic spasms.
It is wiser still
– To breathe this
ever-widening
universe of love
into your soul and
to create an ocean of
celestial vibrations.
It is wise
– to look out
into our great
universe and to
feel those creative
blessings to flow
through your being.

The Desired Fates
Many thoughts
come descending
upon my slaked mind,
weary of all it’s comings
and goings towards you:
It is of you
– you who can read
the stars plainly –
that this life can
be lived with our fated
gratitude and generous
grace towards your
vapid, wishful beauty.
It is for you
– you who can see
through the veil of desire –
that my promptings for
this world, this life, this
pressed moment of love
always end for naught
but for the expression itself.
It is to you
– you who fails to read
the plain verse of my heart –
that I wake up each day
with a cause to smile – for
I see what the world knows,
and have opened my heart
to breath in your honored beauty.
Many thoughts
come cascading upon
my hopeful mind, as we
bask under the moon and
stars, we two together.
