Poetry to Inspire You
Ben Carlos
Ben Carlos evolved
into the super field
always a comic
fun was the sword to wield
splitting the differences
playing the clown
amusing the indifferent
sometimes wearing a gown
being the fool
innocent yet wise
wanting to lighten up
full of surprise
plagiarize the punch lines
pass on the gift
brighten up a conversation
give someone a lift

Bart 4
cool dude in modern times
can play with raps, chants and rhymes
here to enlist the future’s crew
bringing in the Way that’s new
cheerful, present, playful too
sharing wisdom that grew and grew
thru the ages, thru all stages
from no speech to words on pages
what is it that we’re searching for?
it is not the past – that was the floor
the foundation for what is to come
and now together we have begun
joining with the multitudes
all dimensions it includes
being conscious, living free
knowing who we want to be

The Mermaid Realm
deep under the waters
mothers, sisters and daughters
free floating, connected
in a world that’s protected
or was
the dolphin’s relation
from when all of creation
knew of the simplitude
of swimming in water
practice the basic strokes
sea what the strokes evoke
moving the arms now
tail, rudder and plough
we carry the memory tapes
it’s time to remember and escape
from the delusion of separation
equal = the most important part of an equation
we are the waters
call in our sisters and daughters
so as to be part of the flow
only then will we know
what water is
that we may
honour
love
and
be
