Presence ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #234
We didn’t come here
For the beer
Or the snacks
Or to share a cigarette
Once we’d finished those
For the beer
Or the snacks
Or to share a cigarette
Once we’d finished those
It wasn’t for the words we’d speak
Or to look into each other’s eyes
(You never took off your sunglasses)
To see or be seen
Or for a breath of fresh city air
In the chill afternoon
Yes, we spoke, shot the shit, as you say
You think, I’m sure, because voices fill the silence
But I can see the tendrils of sound
As they weave a caress
Coaxing our essence to expand
Occupy the same space
A moment not just of friendship
Or intimacy
Or even love
Something deeper
A moment in which our beings
Touch
Intertwine
A flirtation with the insight
That two can be one
In your presence
Woven into your essence
I sense the greater truth
Of the connection
Which makes us all
The One
Beneath all the other reasons
Our conscious and unconscious tell us
The latent awareness deep within knows
This is why we gather
This is why we linger
Long after all the other reasons have passed
That awareness is The One
To live as this awareness
Is to awaken
Presence & Proximity
Presence
Is not a measure of
Proximity
Is not a measure of
Proximity
Love
Is not limited in quantity or quality by
Time or space
Running ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #226
In the presence of something
Much greater than I
I run
Much greater than I
I run
Not to
Nor from
Just for the pleasure of running
That greater presence makes me
Not lesser
Nor greater
Just aware
That the incoming tides of life
Offer little distraction to the pleasure of a run
Marking Her Presence
In the grand moments
Of golden glories
It is easy to miss
The subtler wonders
Like a small ship
Making her way
Across the gleaming sea
Marking her presence
In the vastness
Of golden glories
It is easy to miss
The subtler wonders
Like a small ship
Making her way
Across the gleaming sea
Marking her presence
In the vastness
dis connect ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #184
I look
Neither inward
Nor outward
Neither inward
Nor outward
I connect
Not with being
But a fetish
This realm
Of virtual
Manifestation
And while I look
And while I connect
I am lost
To the moment
To my own presence
To being itself
While all around
Existence dances and plays
Without my participation
Limbs ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #154
Limbs
Intertwined
Breath
On my wrist
Breast
In my hand
Eyes
In a dream
Intertwined
Breath
On my wrist
Breast
In my hand
Eyes
In a dream
Asleep
In my arms
Your back
On my chest
The trust
This implies
The love
In my heart
Old Wood Cool
He was old wood cool
Rugged, lined and beautiful
Someone people clung to
Like paint
Rugged, lined and beautiful
Someone people clung to
Like paint
He didn’t choose his friends
Everyone was welcome
And he played no favourites
But few weathered well in his company
Most faded quickly
In that radiant presence
I loved the bastard
And hated him
Pics or it didn’t happen
Pics or it didn’t happen
But I was so busy
But I was so busy
Photographing
Instagramming
Facebooking
Snapchatting
Wordpressing
Tweeting
It happened
But I wasn’t there
Beautiful Presence
I am never more beautiful
In countenance
In presence
In spirit
In countenance
In presence
In spirit
Than when my mind is quiet
Connected to all things
At peace with myself
And the moment, just as it is
