Bags of Gold



Bags of Gold

5 brings 5 
2 brings 2
l brings that
scolding retort..
All seek ascent
5 and 2 in
a system corrupt..
1 saw more..
Suffering in darkness
weeping and gnashing..
He saw these
all enfolded in
His singular Self
Awaiting
A more fulfilling
Ascent...

See Matthew 25
for
Parable of Talents

Blind Man's Stick



Blind Man's Stick

A perennial dispute
On mind's location
Inside or there..
Those scanning devices
Our inside isolates
The blind man's stick
To outside spreads..
Technology's extensions
Distant and wide..
And then contemplation
Imagination is wing..
Borderlines grow hazy
Unanswered
Is wholeness indeed...

Sun and Weed


Sun and Weed

Lowered evening sun
Direct and glowing
A leafy weed peered
Above its patch and
Reflected the sun..
Photo or not
The patch said no
But brightness spoke
And shutter closed..
Surprise with result
Colors and forms
Not surpassed in
A manicured bouquet..
Beauty asks only for
Sun and reflector
From these two
All creation glows...




A Learning Moment




A Learning Moment

Some may prefer
A teaching moment
A fleeting time
To fill the Other
With our known.. 
Though if we
See our Moment
Enclosing both:
Learning is shared 
in a burst
Quite unexpected
Leaving both with
No joy spared...

Muse


Muse

One of nine
Greek goddesses
is the definition..
She rises in finery
adorned in her
Greek duality..
But that other 
Muse the verb
is a turning
a meditation of
movement..
This is the
singular Goddess
the presence 
which gives life
to our attractive
Greek friend...

Musing with Mae..

Deo and Noises of Night..





Deo and Noises of Night

the cat
quite elegant with
tuxedo no tail
home alone..!
Dan went traveling
across the divide..
I served as
  treat bearer with 
anticipated arrival..
After dining on 
flesh of the tuna
Deo in lengthy
hair care coiffure..
Interrupted only by
neighborhood noises
of night..
Imagining those
memories of fright
in this feline's
youthful stray life..
Eyes fearsome wide
Ears shifting alert..
But no harm
returning to now..
Tongue's last stroke
bath and bed
Monday is over...

Autobiography


 Autobiography

Do we have courage
To write our own..
Turn to our past
Open those portals
Long since bypassed..
Not fleeing once open
Lingering there and there..
Dark passages then
Turning new sides
Textures now strange
Strange and renewed..
Bright lanterns then
Strangely are dim..
All is perspective
Dimensions to gain..
New Name today
What Name might
Portals of tomorrow
yet bring...?
