White Cosmos

White Cosmos
there was a rose bush planted
by the entry near the road
the tag on it named it Love
and this was to be its code
all summer it bloomed
and into the fall
red and scented blossoms
to be shared with all
surrounding the roses
was a circle of white
representing the cosmos
and yes you are right
named white cosmos
it reminds us of how to live
growing and sharing our love
is the greatest gift we give

Communication

Communication
the field of communication
is more than our voice
not even our ears
we are given a choice
our senses may lie dormant
or are present, alert
all the incoming
we can instantly convert
into a vision, a sound, an illusion
sometimes a past memory
that can trigger confusion
when we slow down and feel
what is present as real
we allow space to respond
receiving, returning
amplifying or observing
responding or storing
sometimes back-dooring
do we keep it or let it go?
the skills of communication
are based on observation
where is it coming from?
what is its purpose?
does it require a response?
does it feel good? how do we feel?
our hearts will tell us
our senses are intricate, expansive
a multi-dimensional language
we now speak to our plants
birds respond to our glance
communication is a dance
and the music is love

Separation Separated

Separation Separated
let’s have fun with this
let us separate the very concept of separation
from our experiential remembering
we are living in oneness
we are in this together
so often expressed as birds of a feather
we cannot remove every feather
and treat every feather as a prize
soon the bird could not fly
which would be no surprise
let us separate the need
to examine each piece
let us instead accept wholeness
and let its diversity increase
when separation is separated
disposed of and gone
it will feel like coming home
to the place we belong
