After some time elapsed
Like bones
Stripped bare by desert sun
Hints at
Beauties lushly graced
Forever lost
Long stripped away
So close my eyes
To fill the space
With grandeurs from
Another time
Hints at
Beauties lushly graced
Forever lost
Long stripped away
So close my eyes
To fill the space
With grandeurs from
Another time
In others
I see
Another reflection
Of me
Sometimes
I see
Neither mirror reflects
Real me
If I shut my eyes
I see
The me I am without need
To be
I sit by them
Gazing on the beauty
Of a dream
I Quiet my mind
Dismantling the ramparts
And enter the dream
Trickster
Thief
Monkey on a roof
Keep your
Bananas
Close
Of wisdoms found
And wisdoms lost
Wisdoms over-written
Time-worn wisdoms
Worn out
Worn down
Worn through and through
Worn like a cloak
Like a shield
Or wielded
Like a sword
Bon mots
Of thought
Here collected
Erased
Memorized
Forgotten
Fragments of
Fragmentation
Misjudged
Misunderstood
Misapprehended
Mistaken
The nattering
Incessant
Of those
Who tell
But do not ask
Themselves
And should not
Yes
There’s the rub
Instead be
Silent
Who am I?
This wall
Has no wisdom
For me
Words
They clutter up
My consciousness
Lead me astray
Turn me away
From where I find
The one true I
Deep inside
I breathe
Let go
In quiet mind
At the core
Of silence find
The I that is not I
But All
And One
That is all
I need to know
This simple wisdom
All are One
What more is there
To ask?
While I ride the storm
Sleek and smooth
A dulcet caress
Much as I
On challenged path
Lose my balance
Then regained
A beacon there
Should day grow dark
The road
From where I love
To where I love
Passes through
A world I love
The beach
Sunshine and sand
Wind and waves
Blankets and bikinis
Children and sand castles
Umbrellas and Ray Bans
Chesterman
Not quite
Such a beach
