Not all seeds germinate
Not all buds open
Not all conceptions become babies
Not all poems are read
And if they are few understood . . .

For the past six year we have been reminded by the Religious Right and those politicians who have hijacked Christian principals for their own purposes that The United States is a nation . . .

( 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 . . .

Morning's brassy sky
Heat shimmers from the pavement
Commuters swealter

The tree locusts sing
Their serenade to morning
The sun brings more heat
Crushing down on all that is
With no real relief in sight

Isness and Suchness
High in the mountains
In a place seldom visited by people
There is a small lake
On this particular day
The lake was as smooth as glass
There was no wind to disrupt . . .

The Cherry Blossoms
Some pink, some white
Bursting forth in glory
Only to be plucked by a passing wind
Covering the walkway in my garden
To be trod under foot and gone.
A constant . . .

Being deeply in love
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

Like a living river life surges through the Mall
Bumping, gliding touching forming and reforming
Ever continuing on its' way

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 Spirit roams free on the city streets
And country lanes, on buses and subways
In bars and hospitals and coffee houses where people hang out
Sometimes in homes and offices
But he generally avoided . . .

Liberation
The heart aches because it was born to sing
And it is surrounded by the sound of weeping.
It longs for the music of the stars
And hears only funeral dirges.
It longs to . . .

(For my father in law, near the end of his life)
Flotsam and jetsam
Sea weed and driftwood
Each strand with its song to sing
Each fragment with its story to tell
Washed up on the beach

By the lake shore
In the shade of a great tree
A bottle of wine
A bit of cheese
A cool breeze blowing
Two people sat in silence
Enraptured in the joy
Of being in love

Lighting the way for someone

Capitol crime, capitol punishment
Do the crime do the time
We are full of little platitudes like that
What about the innocent who may be killed
They will tell you that the percentage is so . . .

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 . . .
