Poem for this Morning – Incentive and Warning

Poem for this Morning – Incentive and Warning

we cannot say strongly enough
this is not a time to judge or rebuff
for all have suffered in their own way
we must recognize this then let it lay

if each individual does not step to the plate
to do their part, to orchestrate
there will be the same confusion, separateness
and be aware this is not selflessness

what is required now goes beyond ones needs
it is a multi-dimensional adoption of creeds
to design and build what structure, what form
that can sustain and support what is to be born

please understand this is not about “fixing things”
it is not about competing to be the best that brings
a new concept or way to create the new
all are needed to contribute then do

there is wasted time in going it alone
why do you think we have brought you the internet and phone?
if you want to see life compromised
take away the use of your ears or your eyes

we invite you all to bring your senses to play
there is joy in creation and it’s a new day
delete, refresh, begin anew
we are here to support and witness you

Tesla

Tesla

time to retreat now
time to reverse
slow down to stillness
still to the core
stop all the motion
’til there’s not any more
and then at that still point
be with it and feel

it is time to reverse
and wind in the reel
letting it out
expanding the field
has led to inventions
and increased the yield

now is the time
to pull back and refine
keeping only the aspects
that support the divine
gentleness, beauty
commodities pure
friendship, kindness
what is the allure?

as the fisherman checks
his line that’s reeled in
check now your relationship
to what’s without and within

pull in that picture
of how each day is spent
watch it, examine it
what has it meant?

simplify, refine
find some joy in the doing
giving credit to the heart-links
in what you’re reviewing

capture the oneness
the true purpose of life
going in, deeply inward
to that universal light

that spark of creation
the melding pot of form
ask now to wear it
as a mantle to be worn

and only by pulling inward
will the vision be born
of the new world creation
you’re as a kernel of corn

ready to absorb
the love and the light
waiting for conditions
to be perfectly right

to sprout and take root
to grow with new life
into a life form
of renewal and might

and imagine a plain
newly planted with corn
each stalk unique
each with potential unborn

ah, the potential
the potential to be
that is the future
to which you will seed

Conversations Abound

Conversations Abound

conversations abound
a desire to share
observations, perspectives
of all that’s out there

a willingness to speak
and to listen with intent
to come to agreement
or to agree to dissent

a platform for creation
even talk to ourselves
perspectives, embellishments
taken off the shelves

given a new look
or function or place
conversations explore
creating a new base

each base or foundation
strengthens with time
enjoy the expansion
and play with the rhyme
