Had I fallen through
I’d be dead
which is fine- that day will come
when it comes
but!
As spirit leapt from body
and reinserted itself
that hiccup of time and motion
I giggled
because here I was
back with existence
and dancing could continue…

If, in the reaching,
you fall,
you’ll always be caught.
It just may hurt.
What of it?
Learning grabs you and
eventually
you’ll find
what you seek isn’t
out there,
so you’ll reach inward
and falling into your Self
means
infinite soft landings.

I can not tie my heart to yours.
Ties bind us both.
You will pass,
like seasons
or visions
or the magic of a night dream,
but know I’m here,
this moment,
giving without reservation
while
I belong to one
who never leaves
and
it is in that heart where you and I join.
Rest your eyes from searching-
I need no back door for exit
because,
in this,
walls delude
and presence
locks our free steps
in unison.

Hair across face,
sheets spun,
sweat,
satisfaction.
Longing for other
traps more than passion,
destroy that and be
your best lover.
Hold Beloved’s hand
by taking your own-
Ecstasy requires only One.

Walk slowly into day-
rabbit is shy.
When the holding of mind releases,
held muscle follows..
With heart carried forward
the jig in each step synchs
in rising rhythm,,
This number may be for two
or twenty,
but always for one and
the grin on a single visage
captivates wonder.
And she deserves to be charmed.

Open the door
and let the rain in.
That house you built offers
no protection.
Why obscure
the slant of light from the horizon?
Rain brings more than flowers-
Water keeps you alive.

If a poet’s work is hitched to spirit,
that wild master of any art,
the words spark image, yes,
but more important
they move through and
switch the tide,
bring a tear,
or release a laugh,
birth a pause,
clear thought,
crack the darkness,
or hold you close-
Anything but keep things the same.

Walk into the fire.
Be purified.
Become water~
Wave through endless ocean.
Root in earth.
That mineral darkness feeds and holds you.
Breathe sky..
Fuel your own laughter and song.
Embodiment summons-
Burn brightly-
Now is the chance to learn
to spend a lifetime
Rejoicing.

At dawn, in the field
where bustle and bombardment
arrest-
erased by the pace intended-
What penetrates fleets not
as creation arises,
replenishing, even through death,
in constant celebration,,
A music, in full possession
of the notes of silence,
always plays

Flameless fire in golden grass-
Morning touches brightly
what rests before her.
Bowing down,
forehead and hands to dirt,
the weightlessness of surrender.
A yard above,
Single-chant bird song
and short celebratory flights
between acacia and pine,
delight winged and non alike.
What fills mind
perfumes the sky.
Salt, Smoke, Water and Stone
