Hostile World

Man takes freedom for granted
until he has none
given away for security
that doesn't exist
in the hostile world, we've created

Clarity

In nothingness
between breaths
the mind comes to rest
aware, alert, undistracted
we find clarity

When we met

I'd like to send you the mystery of the sea
to watch the ocean lap rocks with wet
slowly breaking shadows in between
to remind us of the day we met

Float Away

Sleeping with my eyes open
and getting excited about yesterday
hypnotic works with sound and beat
listen to them chant and sway
eyes grow heavy and close
remove the world with a dream
and let me float away

Wandering

The mind will wander
until we learn to empty it
growing free from distraction
with each slow breath

The Gathering

Where we gather in friendship
we find love and understanding

Breathe

Breathe slowly
let the mind still itself
feel the air fill and expel
let clarity spread
oneness revealed

Navigating

Time slips away
leaving memories
in its wake
unclear waters
for us to reflect upon
as we navigate
through life

Suffering

Our suffering is in our nature
something we need to reflect upon
so that our minds can become clear
and our spirits free

Pattern Traps

Beneath the layers
and our habitual patterns
we live our lives in illusion
freedom waiting just outside

Calm Waters

Let the waters grow calm
flat and reflective
let the mud settle to the bottom
so that all becomes clear

Don't wait

Tomorrow awaits us around the corner
a day we all know never comes
all the more reason
to enjoy today

Foundations

Memories deceive us
letting us think of things
that never really happened
not a good foundation
to build upon

Treasures

Life is about the little moments
that become our treasures

Monday, September 11, 2017

Oblivion

Memories captured
still, moments frozen
will pass into oblivion
along with us

Each Encounter

Each encounter we make
a hello, a goodbye
might just be
the last thing we ever do
this is the impermanence of life

A little at a time

Life and Death
reflected upon
reveal themselves
a little at a time
all of our days

Searching for soul

Humanity searches for its soul
looking high and low
lost inside a long bad dream
unable to awaken to the calm within

Rebirth

Rebirth begins in death
the cycle of life
flowing like a river
