Easy Academics

This moment is a lot easier than a lifetime of learning,

eternity can be found therein;

but only for the moment,

a passing phenomenon,

like its counterpart, the experience of sin;

alone with a pleasure without integration,

alone either without or within;

a subject or an object,

a lover or a beloved,

neither one in the end which will win. 

Rainbow after the Storm

Weather!

Weather is a wonder, wherever you are!

It gives the observer a glimpse,

a glimpse of what a moment with Eternity is like:

Nothing; nothing in the face of the life all around.

Standing outside! Ecstatic!

Ecstasy coming in circles, reversals, impacts and spurts;

all out of any one’s control.

My Lord, we are talking a heavenly vision here,

an experience nigh unto the soul; 

a moment alone with the power of the Creator;

not yet by anyone from this angle told:

my own little divine experiment

to find heaven and hell so bold,

so as to touch my life so closely,

in this weather wonder to behold.

Passing Notes

Oh, keep the music coming,

the rhythm and the rhyme;

the syncopated bellissima

between the silence that is mine.

The past that somehow binds the moments,

The present which I forever find,

The passing phen.om.en.o.logical,

Around which we all are entwined.

21st Century Retreat

Don’t you just hate it when you can’t find your solitude?

When drastic measures are needed to be raised;

When you find yourself trapped in some perfunctory ritual;

Or running for shelter in a purple haze.

 

My Lord, where are those times of childhood freedom?

My G-od, where are those happy days?

When everyone knew what was important to the other person

And did not care because they knew everyone plays.

 

Now the play-ers are separated from the pray-ers

And the left is not part of the right;

And the colors are not satisfied being wonderfully radiant

Because they simply are not black or white.

 

Yes, we only find ourselves alone now

In the heat of the battle

As we raise our backs and 

As we bicker and fight.

Existential Faith

          IF

          Solitude

          Becomes

          YOU,

          In time;

          Then, you must cling

          To that time

          ALONE,

          While reaching

          OUTSIDE of time

          To the uncertainty of

          OTHER

          In prayer.

     Returning to the Eternal,

     Giving up this mortal sense,

^^/\^^\/\/^^/\^^\/\/^^/\^^\/\/^^/\^^\/\/^^/\^^\/\/^^^

     Finding out the way things truly are

     In the metaphysical present tense:

^^/\^^\/\/^^/\^^\/\/^^/\^^\/\/^^/\^^\/\/^^/\^^\/\/^^

     No longer in the middle;

     No longer straddling the fence;

^^/\^^\/\/^^/\^^\/\/^^/\^^\/\/^^/\^^\/\/^^/\^^\/\/^^

     No longer stranger to either or both sides;

     Part of the whole wide world immense.

^^/\^^\/\/^^/\^^\/\/^^/\^^\/\/^^/\^^\/\/^^/\^^\/\/^^

     Being now with holy abandon;

     The spirit by the flesh incensed

^^/\^^\/\/^^/\^^\/\/^^/\^^\/\/^^/\^^\/\/^^/\^^\/\/^^

     The proper order of the light;

     To this moment,

     From eternity,    

     Commenced.

Inter-Ludium

The night has come

once more to touch and

to remind in us that

the darkness will

always visit regularly,

to stay a course,

sometimes too long but

never where the light belongs:

in the song within,

simply waiting

to play again.
