( With a nod to Christopher C.)
Like the faint aroma of unseen roses
Like a phrase from an almost remembered love song
Peace floats just ahead of our consciousness
Waiting to be apprehended. . . .

Borne on the summer breeze,
The hoary capped dandelion seeds
Fly on their way
Filled with life, they care little
About their destination
Sustained with a knowing
Their purpose will . . .

As I look out my window
The first rays of the rising sun
Pierce the gloom of night
As If by some ancient magic
That is far beyond my understanding
A spark deep within me responds and
Leaps . . .

It is difficult to speak of love or even think of it
On a day when dedicated, resourceful yet merciless men
Unleash death and destruction on so many innocent people
Yet how can we call ourselves . . .

The old monk felt perplexed
As many times before he felt
A stirring, a rumbling
In his otherwise more or less
Tranquil consciousness
He had experienced it before
But this time . . .

A robin singing outside my window
Rejoicing at the coming of the new day
Praise and gratitude incarnate

Connects me to my Love
And to all creation . . .

In the midst of a holiday crowd
On a hot summer afternoon
Pierced by Love's own lance
I saw all things as they truly are and
I entered in rejoicing

Bumping, gliding touching forming and reforming

I have heard of Kensho previously
And of various ways to report it
But recently I ran into a man
With a novel method of deportment.
Some compose verses mainly short.
Some paint on rice . . .

The lovers sitting
On the river bank gazing
At the golden path
Traced by the rising full moon
Lost in wonder and rapture.

The couple strolled in silence
Through a hallowed cemetery
One filled with immerging love.
The other, growing questions

Transmutes the frozen snowcap
Into shimmering diamonds
Floating above white clouds banks
Against the clear blue sky

Reigning supreme at the summit of the glorious mountain of Love,
Agape shrouds herself in mist and mystery.
But like the Theophany of Sinai, She makes herself known
With lightening flashes . . .

The Second big Bang
Remembered today by some
Ignored by many
A mushroom air burst that changed
The world for ever and ever.

Sunlight dancing on the river
Blue sky and white cotton ball clouds
Flights of birds arcing on their way
Even traffic seems to flow smoothly
A morning to rejoice in
And be grateful for

The sun has set beyond the western horizon
Still showing the shafts of red and yellow and purple
That the old mountain men used to call fire in the sky
When they reflected behind the snow capped . . .

He didn't even know he was climbing a mountain
Until she pointed it out to him
All he knew was that for many years
He was trying to follow a path
Shrouded in darkness and sorrow and a feeling . . .

As he gazed at her
Robed as she was in mist and moonbeams
He felt the thrill of her mystery.
How many years had they know each other ?
How many secrets had they shared?
And yet, were they . . .
