Candle Lesson – Live Longer

Candle Lesson – Live Longer
take a piece of dripped-off wax
and hold it to the candle’s flame
let it drip into the well
of melted wax and gain
gain on flame’s burning time
for the flame will now burn lower
a life now lived longer
conserving energy by going slower
candle is teaching us
awareness the bestower

Postulate

Postulate
do we still postulate
or do we now know?
what we have assumed before
science now is changing
changing the status quo
research is proving
concepts we used to project
experimental testing shows
what is true or incorrect
quantum entanglement
is a field of recent study
Nobel Prize worthy
old beliefs relegated
to that place called fuddy duddy

status quo…existing state of understanding
fuddy duddy…old-fashioned

Ignited Within

Ignited Within
excitement
passion
joy
and awe
like striking a match
emotions that catch
and ignite something within
sometimes fear
or anger
a sense of danger
other emotions too
have ignited what grew
into our experiential living
as we live aware
of the emotions we share
we can accept and honour
when each day is a goner
our human existence
has been rich and persistent
in feeling our way
then we return to the night
turn out a light
go to stillness and silence
and let those embers rest
we slip into the beyond
received as a guest
soon we are dreaming
dreaming of love
