Mandela Mandala

Mandela Mandala

Nelson Mandela offers us a mandala
A pattern to merge with
A wave form to surge with
To meditate upon and within
To neither end nor begin
A symmetry to savour
An intricate live flavour
With colourful expressions
That leave vivid impressions
And awaken dormant sectors
To be both radiants and reflectors
Of our passionate brother’s journey
An experienced prisoner and attorney
Who shared perspectives and wisdom
Understood complexities of freedom
Practiced forgiveness and compassion
Desiring a life style, a fashion
Based on everlasting love

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
