The days pass like broken glass Crunching beneath the weight of the past Reaching out still searching For something lurking in the dark I catch a glimpse then it is gone but still my search must go on I watch the old couple in the park They seemed to be genuinely in love as they pushed along a shopping cart with one broken wheel There is a stench of urine and sweat radiating into the air neither looked as though they had bathed in weeks but both seemed truly happy The old man could barely walk his back is hunched and he appears to be in great physical pain As he leans against the women he is smiling even laughing They both seemed either blissfully unaware or unconcerned about their appearance as they searched the park for aluminum cans I looked around at the other faces in the park there were mothers turning red with anger as they screamed at their children Teenagers blaring loud music and causally tossing fast food bags upon the ground An affluent mid-age couple staring at

One day a young child was staring at a giant gray rain cloud. He was wondering how much water it must hold. When suddenly the rain began to fall upon him. The child was unconcerned about the rain because he was still pondering something he felt needed to be explained. All this rain coming down was really from a single cloud. So, all the millions of raindrops were also from this big grey rain cloud. Even though the droplets themselves fell individually, they had all actually been formed together as a single mass. The child thought to himself that all humans could have also come from a single source. We may think we are all unique separate entities with individual personalities but we could all really be just part of the same being. Isn't water itself the key ingredient for all life? So maybe one source of water could have created all the animals and birds along with everything else the little boy could see. Since we all came from one giant formation of water are we

The icy starry night Shines its celestial light Below me are misty swirling rainbows of precious jewels I watch the sun rising over the fields of yellow daffodils Today was a good day I want to capture it and always embrace it this way Today, there was sunshine, warmth, wonder, splendor, beauty, and more. As I gazed into your eyes, I knew I was totally in love and totally loved in return I was finally heading toward something not headed away Today was astounding You, my love, have astounded me A thousand different ways and every day you find yet another way Today was extraordinary There was magic, serenity, harmony, and purpose Today, there was peace Through you I found me Thank you, sweetheart Please hold me now Let us start anew from this day forward No, yesterdays Only today It was just a day a simple beautiful day That enabled us to feel and see everything in a completely different marvelous way

Hell Hounds chasing me Howls in a cold lonely night Shadow realm beckons

Sun rise from the sea Its tranquil waves comfort me Our world disappears

Pulsating pustulated sore of a morally bankrupt nation Driven insane by the marketing tools of lust and greed Pouring forth its toxic venomous filth of hatred, lies, and intolerance upon an emotionally numb divided world Constantly opening up new markets by forcing its brand of predatory capitalism onto underdeveloped sectors Ever consuming in its relentless unquenchable thirst for consumers Spreading over the land like a deadly virus The most dangerous plaque ever known to man Leaving only destruction, violence and chaos in its wake Ravished ecosystems that have been slaughtered, tortured, and burned It has no soul it’s a monster that only lives to hunt, feed and devour more The air lingers with its stench of dead love and cold decay it stays with us and can never be washed away Deep within our minds, we know there is nothing that will forgive us now For all that we have destroyed Pointlessly, Needlessly, Shamelessly If there is any justice We know We are doom Greed and

Disconnect from the past Cut through the delusions Become a part of the stark raw presence Merge only to emerge from the contrived mind into the space of the pure uncontrived being Death and rebirth are one Dip your feet into the endless river of the divine sacred night Shifting grounds of uncertain clarifications Constantly cycling the end from the beginning Everything is illuminated into the vivid silence of raw perception Multiplying universes of ceaseless creations Images of radiant ever lasting open-dimensional compassion Don’t worry about what you leave behind Your reality was always just an illusion of time What appears is never what it seems to be but all that wonder will be intrinsically free A guiding light lies beyond these doors Experience it for yourself: It’s why you were born

Why is she sleeping all alone in a bed of fire with a heart of stone? She swoops down the street like a predatory bird Feathers all ruffled but with her talons aglow In her head, she wonders if she is good or bad Happy or sad? She doesn’t really know and is always petrified that her thoughts are being overheard So, she just follows the rules that she has learned Never concerned about their validity or any opinions of her own It’s safe inside her little home Everything is structured and chaos is unknown Men, she feels, could only clutter up such a perfect little world Better to just sleep alone In a bed of fire with a heart of stone It's a cold, cruel comfort that enthralls us so A plague upon our intellect that our hearts refuse to show We live inside dark musty tombs that shall never know of light Never feel illumination Or see the glare that brought us to this plight Cold, comfort In a sad, cruel world Bargaining for salvation with everything we own The hourglass is

Did you journey to the fountain? Did you find the hidden magic? That was placed there for us all so many of years ago Did you bring comfort to the lost, forgotten, bewildered and strange? Did you dance with the haunted the fearless and crazed? Did you watch the icy starry night shines its magnificent celestial light as it unrolled its panoramic wonders? Did you share quiet moments by a lake? The sensuous curves of a lover’s face The smell of rain in the air The soft-touch of a baby’s hand Tranquil times beside a fire The howl of the wind in the midnight hour Clouds floating in a sea of blue above a rich meadow where daisies bloom Did you sit on a rock and witness the mystical symmetries of a twisting mountain stream? Did you feel the sun upon your face? As you let your mind drift into a safe warm place? Through the valley and over the hills Did the fog lift and the years disappear? Did you release the buried treasures from behind the stranger's eyes? Upon the misty
