Infinity's Eyes and Ears
Infinity's eyes
behold truth everywhere--
resplendent reflections.
Wear these spectacles,
and bliss will never leave.
Every blade of grass
vibrates a subtle aura of light.
Infinity's ears
hear the hum of truth
in nature's sacred symphony.
Holy hearing happens
in the cathedral of silence.
Each blossom's petal
is a psalm.
Every leaf
of every tree
joins in a chorus
of whispered prayer
borne on devotional breezes.
Overtones of praise and gratitude
punctuate the breath of existence.
Once inside heart's chapel,
laughter, rapture, joy and contentment
remain as permanent guests.
(Perpetual) Temporary Impermance
Fresh moments birthed
constitute a unique 'now',
ephemeral and passing.
Precious instances
eventually finish;
epochs of history vanish.
Cycles turn and return,
making each second
transient--forever fleeting.
Shifting feelings measure
streaming currents--
fluid phases elapse.
Briefly, beauty and bliss
emerge and abscond,
supple, yet succinct.
The only thing
that never dies
is Supreme Truth.
Circles of Infinity
return to the source
chants the sea in rhythmic refrain
rivers flow a course
clouds sing destiny of rain
Echoes of Infinity
I)
dorian droning
oceanic presences
sweetly hypnotic
interminable whisper
majestic moonlit aplomb
II)
extraneous thoughts
merge into rhythmic motion
mind sits mesmerized
content from finest feelings
sourced from silent song of soul
The Art of Dying
I hold the dying by the hands
and watch as consciousness expands
into a realm of radiance
where wisdom stands.
In awe, I sense their spirit fold
inside to where a truth untold
can spin and weave a tapestry
of soul's pure gold.
The art of liberation's law
is one that paints, without a flaw,
the truth that we are made of light
no hand can draw.
As we approach that sharpest edge,
which cuts and prunes away the hedge
that blocks our view - to God we now
must give our pledge
to cease grasping this life we've fussed
about - observe how loudly rust
and mold announce the truth that all
will turn to dust.
The body fades, just like a breeze,
but soul's not bound by land or seas
and dying is a divine grace-
not a disease.
Another Song of Sky
Let's escape our
individuality
protest this brief performance--
merge with existence
re-defining death
becoming naked sky
