Chapter 8
Light
Ecstasy’s Gate
Brilliant morning, new and fresh Blessings flow to they that wait Patiently walking through calm and storm Take this path; don’t hesitate Infinite grace is here for you I’ve set the table; please don’t be late Let nothing stop your destined trek Release your worries; let fear abate Raise your sights and dry your eyes The time is come to claim your fate Come sit with me and sing a song I’m waiting for you at ecstasy’s gate
Implausible
To reach into the dark realms And pull out the eternal wisdom To step into the memories Of the ancient builders of time To read the hearts of passersby And touch them with a kiss To feel the colors and light Harnessing and focusing bliss To fly amongst the soaring hawks And see all they can see To sing the song of morning blooms Tasting scents of perfect glee These things, implausible, impossible, yes And yet, it’s what I do Harnessing the mystical dreams Remembered by the ancient few
Tomorrow and Today
Eyelids heavy Time for sleep Tomorrow will bring new poems … Newly awake Time for life Today will bring new poems
Bright
Pains Aching In my back Spreading downward To swollen ankles To my more swollen feet Pervading body and mind Smothering the hope of my heart Stealing the peace on my quiet soul Until I look outside the bright window And watch as the grand pine tree dances With the constantly blowing wind And the rays of the bright sun On this bright day of hope Flowing around me Changing my thoughts From my pain Healing Peace
Colors' Pique
fiery ribbons fall from the sky attracted by the miniscule cracks fire, light, glass passion, knowing, grace deeper, further, higher bathe me in your hues i am the voyeur piquing rising above the highest peaks peeking stealing a glace at your (im)perfection rise with me let all the passions flow joyful, present, organic white light, bending through the cracks colors dancing in your aura's wonder rise with me let all our passions flow alive, forever, orgasmic, true rising peeking stealing a glance the voyeur is fueled by the exhibition the dancer finds joy in the light we meld into eternity drifting, loving, wondrous sight
New Chapter’s Song
A bit unbelievable The last chapter’s end Surprised by the suddenness And the lack of my surprise Solace in a cloudy day The drama, an unwelcome guest Believing in the power of choice Choosing hope’s pervasiveness Surviving each bump of life Coasting forever along And writing a new verse In this world’s forever song
