Sometimes I squint
To smudge the world
Within my mind
Then paint upon
The softened scene
A different
Kind of magic

Perfect
This perfect valley
In the perfect light
With the perfect clouds
Make a perfect moment
In the perfect light
With the perfect clouds
Make a perfect moment
This perfect is mine
Not the valley’s
Not the light’s
Not the clouds’
I remind myself
True happiness
Is found in finding
The perfect in everything

Gentle Time
Set beside the gentle brook
Which cut the mountains high above
Now settled under gentle light
I wonder at the water’s might
Which cut the mountains high above
Now settled under gentle light
I wonder at the water’s might
O’er gentle time
In nature’s flow
The lightest rain
Must downward go
Shrouded
When the path to my goal
Lays shrouded in mist
I forge ahead
Lays shrouded in mist
I forge ahead
The path may be obscured
I may lose my way
Or become disoriented
In the context of humanity
I try to keep people in the frame
When exploring esoteric thoughts
On the nature of reality
The expansiveness of existence
When exploring esoteric thoughts
On the nature of reality
The expansiveness of existence
Grace, beauty, the sense of the divine
Whether or not these qualities exist in the world
In the objects I observe
Or are a construction of my consciousness
I share the experience of them
With every other human being
The perfect beauty of it all
Some experiences remind me of the perfect beauty of it all
Like the expansiveness of a rocky mountain range
Under blue skies and scattered clouds
Like the expansiveness of a rocky mountain range
Under blue skies and scattered clouds
Clarity in the Mist
I cannot, always
See all I want to see
Know all I want to know
See all I want to see
Know all I want to know
But I am learning
To see beauty
In all that I can see
