On the Far Side

On the Far Side
on the far side of the Moon
all is hidden
what we cannot see
cannot be described
or is that true?
what we feel, what is within
cannot be seen
but it is there
so true and present
a stirring, a seeking
a mastering of the equivalent
equanimity enchantment
a vision to become
as the far side of the Moon
can be reached
can be explored
so it is within
let all begin
let us know ourselves
that we may turn up
and live in our fullness
let us collaborate
and design the new
not just a few
the multitudes
the multitudes seen and unseen
all willing and wanting to help
simple solutions emerging from inclusions
let us come together to become
for truly
we are
One

The Spray

The Spray

handed a sheet of paper
given the words “the spray”
called upon to write
as night owl from the day

oft we seem to wander forth
on a path that beckons boldly
only to then realize
we’ve stopped and there stand coldly

why did we come? what did we seek?
what passion past did lead us?
what clarity, the now dispersed
of purpose never questioned?

to recognize we are a spray
a small branch of the tree
the tree of life, our parenthood
growth living, seeking, free

the journey of seeking the light
exploring the unknown
stops only when we realize
the direction we have grown

to stop, be still and focus on
our awareness of the source
the gift of life, the aptitude
to bravely journey forth

no matter what direction taken
it is always to seek the light
and the experience of seeking thus
brings meaning to this night

a spray upon the tree of life
what ever could be better?
a unique piece of wonderment
the spray
inscribed in descriptive letters

Apples and Oranges

Apples and Oranges

the fruits of our labours
diverse in form
bring forth the beauty
of uniqueness that’s born

although very different
colour, shape and size
all have their gifts
beauty’s enterprize

delivering their flavours
and the seeds of the future
colourful textures and their juices
are life giving boosters

some stand alone
all can be mixed
inviting creation
of a fruit salad that depicts

a blending, a collaborative
each enhancing another
creating much more
for the unique new mix lover

and where are they found
these fruits of creation?
locations as diverse as
their flavourful orchestration

the apples so sweet
come from the temperate zone
the oranges, heat loving
in the warm zones they’re grown

times are a changing
micro climates can be created
new types can be grown
new locations populated

apples, oranges and others
don’t need to be compared
their beauty is unique
and enhanced when it’s shared
