Unknown

Unknown

you have arrived
there is such stillness and quiet
that even an echo would evaporate
be swallowed
before it could reach your ears

there is no urgency
no need to question
no wanting
no desire to express oneself

you asked to come here
to simply observe
pure curiosity
that was all

the experiential seeker
on a quest to the unknown
and now upon arriving
you experience nothingness

no light
no colour
no sound
no temperature
no movement
no sense of smell or taste

this awareness just is
it is not a check list to explore
you have become part of the emptiness
ahh… so still and quiet
blissful peace
pure nothingness

there is nothing to do
you are being breathed
your heart is beating for you
there is no effort required
simple beingness

a gentle contentment
a gestational peace
nothing to disturb it
nothing to release

the camphor of emptiness
the love of the naught
a simple beginning
to all that was sought

a stirring within comes
an awakening state
a new seeking is birthing
a new way to equate

all senses are alert now
you are ready to leave
wanting to activate
what you did receive

you return to your Earth world
and yet it has changed
you see it so differently
as if all’s rearranged

all life has expanded
all is beauty and bliss
how could you have not seen
all the wonder of this?

all you can do now
is appreciate and adore
the existence of everything
as it impacts your core

this dance how it beckons
you join in and become
a part of the multitudes
and the song that is sung

the credence is happening
the waltz and the skip
the volume is deafening
the senses eclipse

an awareness of everything
has replaced that of empty
all senses are joyously
responding to plenty

the newness of being
in the fullness of now
the total embodiment
of creation’s know how

your expression of gratitude
now knowing what is
is a response from being saturated
with the glory of love

The Mirror – The Interface

The Mirror – The Interface

The mirror is the interface
between what is and what was
However we see it
there is no because

To simply observe are we here?
Are we there?
And then is it possible
to be between as the mirror?

The quiet reflection
The place in between
Where nothing exists
and cannot be seen

And yet we can wonder
the possibilities there
That thin shiny place
reflecting back to a seer

To observe in between
the what is and what was
is a magical place
and where one can pause

and perhaps expand
from the nothingness there
and reflect back to both
its okay to be bared

To be bare and observed
as we are or have been
gives us an awareness
of being seen as a team

Now three places to be
and central to all
is the middle observer
the still point, the hall

Poseidon

Poseidon

Poseidon of the depths
your sanctuary divine
accessed by the swimmers
of a long time line

What happened with the floods
and the ice ages on Earth?
Was it a time that required
a clearing then re-birth?

And what about now
a time as never before
Is it humanity’s choice
to disrupt the ocean’s floor?

Will mining and exploitation
of the oceans’ reserves
be the final disruption
to what we could preserve?

Our waters, precious waters
our planet’s domain
require our attention
It’s our life blood – that’s plain

Plain common sense yet ignored
by the majority of us
Our precious resource, sacred element
given in trust

And now we are selling it
Water for sale
What have we done
to the environs of the whale?

Who owns the water?
Who has the right to decide?
Who has the plenty?
Is it a resource to divide?

At one time we were nomadic
and roamed freely at will
following the abundance
not disturbing nature’s fill

Those times we were conscious
not taking more than we needed
Keeping nature’s precious balance
was a law that we heeded

Poseidon please hear us
from the depths of our hearts
We are recognizing our folly
and the urgent need for new starts

No longer polluting into lakes
rivers and streams
Not wasting our water
thru practicing extremes

By honouring the Water
of which we are mostly comprised
and every time we use it
being gratefully surprised

Surprised just how often
Water is a part of our day
See it, taste it, feel it,
yes and hear it at play

Rain drops plop, ice cracking
Waves breaking on a shore
Water running thru river beds
and the crashing waterfall’s roar

Bless the Water we drink
and use to wash and to grow
our food and our gardens
giving the abundance we know

Tourism, eco-tourism
can help awaken us all
to the impotence of our life styles
and to what future we’ll fall

or

to the importance of our choices
and ability to balance and recall
