in the frozen state of feign
the edge of the abyss
dancing with the thoughts that scurry
that is where destruction is reborn
where it meets creation
and a flood of tears fills the chasm
and we swim to the center of all
syncopated soliloquy
song i play for you
reflected back to me
fingers snappin’
hands clappin’
melodious beat
universal song
your heart to mine
dancing now, divine
bright light’s smile
all is well this instant
eyes touch, lights shine
weaving, winding
minds melding, yours with mine
enmeshed, thoughts intertwine
in the silence between the beats that flood my mind as i let these words flow i feel a hint of the truth that wants to grow and i share with you a hint of a trinket of an inspired concept that all is and we are and you are and i am and light is and sun shines as light and you shine in love in the instant that the eye closes in a momentary blink that lasts as long as the heavens have been here or there …. where? in the center of your heart in the stillness between the beats….
beating hearts as one
blissful light of the sun
walk, dance, skip, sleep, run
let’s find some inspiration
look deep within our soul
share the flame that floods
clarity of light is whole
answers from the center
seeking moments, sane
hold my hand this perfect day
let new love never wane
Meditating at the edge of the stream of life,
I asked my mind to be still.
As a child cannot still the urge to laugh,
As a sparrow cannot still the urge to fly,
As a bee cannot resist the charms of a bud,
So my mind will not resist the attraction to the noise.
And I was called to remember the humble teaching of a sage.
He shared the secrets to stilling the selfishness of our hearts;
Be selfish, said he, but share that selfishness with another;
Let your self-centered mind be in the body of a kindred soul.
And so, I tried this secret method, transfixing my mind,
But not my selfishness, but the noise that would not be stilled,
I let my quiet mind abide in the mind of the Christ,
And we observed the child by the stream with quiet contentment.
The Buddha looked on and smiled.
