The Journey

2011-03-21T17:08:00.001-07:00

As I wake from death
The sun opening my heart

The rivers of mind flowing
into the liquid ocean universe

Searching for soul sacrifice
Eternally evolving into the new

Explosions of light penetrating no thought
Nothing wasted

Wordless bliss
Conquering death once again

Another dance with freedom
Body and vessel filled

A thousand eyes looking for something
Never to be found

Only the journey is real
Stay awhile wild-hearted soul

Gaze at a billion tomorrows
Glorious is the sunrise of the souls story

Would you care to ponder it
It matters or not

As it pulls you toward your destiny
As before so now and forever

I asked GOD
What do you want
God said I want you to be happy

How do I do that I asked
And GOD said think happy thoughts

And when dark thoughts come into your mind
Shine your light on them
Look and see if they serve you

Remember your are not your thoughts
You are a pure undifferentiated being of light
I created you in my own image

So remember shine your light on
Everyone and everything just the way I do

Also if you ever feel lonely come and talk with me
I will remind you who you are

Come Back To Me

The Shining Fish

2010-08-04T07:10:00.000-07:00

Just before dawn in an inlet by an azure blue lake
I sat down to meditate
When you are still you can feel the abundance of life
Willows swaying birds calling
Insects buzzing and fluttering
Time for a new day
The water was calm with an occasional ripple
Reminds me of my mind where thoughts drift by
In this moment a fish jumped out of the water
The morning sun catching its water bourn surface
A frozen moment that left a mark
A sign or symbol for me
Since no one was here
What did it mean I pondered
The fish lives in the water surround
Where it feeds lives and breeds
Totally enveloped in its watery environment
And then it had an urge to transcend the water
Once out of the water the sun’s light
Transformed it to shining gold
It was light and it became that light
Enlightenment
If we take the metaphor we are the fish
And we have the urge for something more
We transcend our surround
And we are rewarded by spirit with enlightenment
The ability to see from a different perspective

Once upon a time

2010-04-21T07:02:00.000-07:00

Once upon a time

A soul was born

Not knowing how to navigate in the world

It watched from inside its host

And it wondered why
And it wondered what

Because time has no meaning
in the eternal soul

It was content to watch

After many lives and hosts
it decided it was time

Time to make itself known

The host became emotional
when the vibration changed

And things began to shift
Suddenly all priorities changed

The only important thing was to listen

And the soul responded
with all its ancient wisdom

And so things began to have
clarity and meaning

The host was bathing in the
warm light of wisdom

And it would never be the same

It seems as though life had just begun and there was so
much to do

Oneself became the past preoccupation
And the whole became its focus

The Artist played its instrument

A soul is born

Ancient Past

2010-03-20T14:01:00.000-07:00

From whence you came
The primeval substance of sparkling light
A place before time a place of infinite possibility
A vastness no human mind
can imagine
There are only symbols and traces to help us comprehend
You were born of breath the current of the universe
Tiny particles of light composed into the song of you
You are a symphony of miraculous forces and power
And at this level you can do
and be all
You are the other side of reality

A Shaman's Dream

2010-02-20T21:21:00.000-08:00

I have journeyed long
I am exhausted
Finally I see it surrounded by bush
Lies the hidden opening to her
I thrust my head in deep
There is a smell of earth and blood
Her opening is tight and slippery
I become my brother the snake
Inching forward on my belly
Dark and confining the inward journey
Moving forward there is no way back
Long and hard on my belly
Finally I burst through into the womb
An illuminated cave
Vast open space
On the walls the paintings dance
At the center
The sacred fire
I watch my ancestors dance with the spirit guides
They beckon me
Join us in the fire dance
For a long time or no time
I dance
I dance until the flesh drops off my bones
Then into the fire
My Buffalo Father touches me with his feathered scepter
Come with me to the cloud gates
The portal to the cosmos
Taking off his head and placing it over mine
Now see
I see a rolling ocean of buffalo running over plains
of tall waving green grass
I run to the top of the hill
Looking through Father Buffalo’s eyes
at endless rolling plains of joy and sunshine
I know I will stay here forever

Falling

2009-10-23T07:13:00.000-07:00

Falling backward into tragic beauty

A swirling vortex
A black hole

Falling deeper
Deeper still

Deep rich blackness
Falling

Endlessly falling
Deeper and deeper

It feels like days, months or years
I have fallen past all memories of who I was

In this darkness of falling
There is no need for my sense organs

There is no need for my body
The only sense left is the awareness of falling

Just conscious of falling
Longer deeper wider

Yet I am not afraid
Suddenly appears a small light

It grows larger and brighter
Streaming beams of beautiful light

Warm and radiant
They seem to beckon me

Feeling my limbs and body
I witness the birth of a new sun
Have I been reborn

I came from nothing

2009-09-16T17:33:00.000-07:00

I came from nothing
To nothing I return

While I think outside
I am inside

Waiting to be known
Waiting to be known

When the eye turns to me
I create the worlds

When the eye turns away
I no longer exist

This is the great mystery

I play with the stars
Boundless energy

Arising and falling
Deep into the void
Which you call space

Liquid light that is cooling
It does not burn

This light is creation
This light charms

This light nurtures
This light heals

It is brighter than your sun
And cooling like your moon

Many know this
Many have yet to know

A Spiritual Sun

2009-07-14T09:18:00.001-07:00

I awoke today
And forgot everything

There were no worries
No old patterns to correct

It was an open road
As far as the mind could see

Blissful feelings throughout
My body and mind

Like warm breezes
Gloriously filling me with light

I transcended my body
At that moment and began to fly
At the speed of thought

The rays exploding in all directions

I had become a Sun
A Spiritual Sun

All beams and rays emanating from my heart
Feeling completely full

I wanted to share my light with everything

I felt myself flowing through each ray

Omnipresent

Touching leaves trees houses and people
Into the smallest parts to subatomic and then

Without form
Just light

I know now there is only one
One light that feeds everything

I saw you

2009-05-11T04:44:00.000-07:00

I saw you
And you turned away

I looked deep into
The eyes of your soul

Maybe you’re afraid
Maybe you don’t know

I saw you
And you turned away

Looking deeper
deeper still

I saw you
A glimmering cloud of light

Waterfalls of bliss
cascading down to earth

I saw you
In a cocoon of flesh and bone
Wings awaiting to spread joy

I saw you luminous and radiant swirling pools of energy
Creating infinite worlds

I saw you
Are you my reflection

JSH0409

Are you the dream or the dreamer

2009-04-12T14:38:00.000-07:00

Who is watching your life

Who is the doer
What are they doing

How does it feel

When you make love
Are you love or the lover

When you look at the sky
Are you the sky or the seer

Is this a dream
Are you dreaming

Are you the dream or the dreamer

The unfolding universe

2009-04-01T20:37:00.000-07:00

You are the unfolding universe
Energy expanding
Thoughts hurled into space
Some dark
And some light
Light energy forms stars and galaxies
Dark energy anti matter and black holes
Darkness is the background for light
Hence there must be both
Use this knowledge to work with the dark and light
Invite your anger to a cup of tea
Your fear to play a game
Your sorrow for a swim
Invite your laughter
To a funeral
Your love
To sickness
Observing creation
Be known to yourself
Being a creator
Choose carefully
Care for
Fully understand
Enjoy you
Be in joy
You are the unfolding universe

New Sun

2009-01-08T16:31:00.000-08:00

A new sun is rising
It brings new hope
New dreams
New joys
New energy
New ideas
New challenges
New opportunities for growth
New ways of doing
New ways of seeing
New desires
New endeavors
New untapped potential
New territories
A new sun is rising
In you

One day when the earth is new

2008-12-13T07:42:00.000-08:00

One day when the earth is new
I will remember you
When all the lies die
And all tears cry
Freedom
One day when I am washed and clean
What will it all mean
I see your pain through the reflection of my own
It chills me to the bone
Freedom
One day when the earth is new
I will remember you
When you and I fall down
And we touch the ground
What is lost can be found
Freedom
Oh these things we do
Oh how I remember you
I remember you
Your flower blooms again
My spirit friend
Freedom

I died again today

2008-11-03T04:00:00.000-08:00

I died again today
The tears came rolling down my face
Am I sad
Or is it a part of me that needed to go
I died again today
My soul looking at the morning sun
Its beauty and warmth permeates
Am I sloughing off something somewhere
I died again today
Watching tiny children at play
No cares or worry
Am I remembering or just sharing
I died again today
In the long shadow of the afternoon
As the light wanes
What do I long for
I died again today
Closing my eyes in quiet slumber
The voice says goodbye to the world
I died again today
To be born again tomorrow

All fall down

2008-09-16T18:11:00.001-07:00

Rains fall
Seasons fall
Countries fall
People fall
When you fall what happens
You get back up
It’s the nature of things
This is rhythm
The ebb and flow
When you fall to your knees
You are lifted up
It’s the nature of spirit
All fall down

The end of suffering

2008-09-05T05:34:00.001-07:00

The end of suffering
Comes when we lose our mind
Not thinking just being
Listen to your heart
Come back to the garden
Where your peaceful river of light flows
Here in the home of the soul
The unstuck sound is who you are
Bathe and wash clean the impurities of conditioned thought
Let go and watch the debris dissolve into the void to be used again
When new energy has transformed it
Drifting further see oceans of color
The mystic mist consumes
Its vapor speaks of the immortal
Ancient intelligence
Wanting to be heard
Please wait and sit
Feel it permeate your being
Your soul wishes to be known
From listening all answers to your questions
Be well
Be still
Be at peace

A poem by Jim Hawks

2008-09-04T13:07:00.001-07:00

Hello world! Anybody out there? Mystic Poet

Butterfly and Bee

2008-08-18T20:27:00.000-07:00

On a warm summer day

A butterfly and bee landed

On a beautiful flower

Each noticing each other

I will let you drink first since you are so beautiful

said the bee

Thank you kind one

Said the butterfly as it dipped the nectar

I must tell you the story of my wings

They are named after angels

Michael who is courage

And Camael which is beauty

My wings take me everywhere I wish to go

They are a symbol of transformation

I fly from place to place never staying long

The scent of life is sweet

My wings vibrate with frequency

Life is heavenly I want for no thing

Then the butterfly asked the bee

What about you please tell me

The bee answered I am blissful

Just bee-ing

If I could touch you

2008-07-31T16:43:00.001-07:00

If I could touch you
How would it feel

Find your heart
Your love to steal

Shifting through layers
Without any cares

Looking at the skies
Could I see your eyes

Would they be open
Silent smile and no words spoken

Dreamlike memories of time
Are they yours or mine

I wait by the shore
Hoping for more

Watching the reflecting moon
Hoping to see you soon

Where have you gone
What has gone wrong

The well of soul is vast
Its future not past

Over the veil of unknown
Can we find our home

Yours is the face
This is my place

Seeing is blind
And what of the mind

If I could touch you
How would it feel

When the wind remembers your name

2008-07-15T16:57:00.000-07:00

When the wind remembers your name
Your soul will stake its claim
Remembering from where it came
As you walk the earthly plane
Seeking not fortune or fame
But a search for truth between pleasure and pain
For what would be the gain
From where love still remains
A soul lost may return again
Look inside and see the flame
When the wind remembers your name
There is no one left to blame
This is life’s eternal game
Knowing will not be the same

Jsh7.08

I am you

2008-07-15T16:55:00.000-07:00

I have never known such sweetness
When no other doors are open

You call to me
And offer me to sit

Gentile and sublime
I crave this natural feeling

Peace Grace Rest
The weary world drifts away

And then I am with you
Your glory knows no end

Exhilaration and thrill turn to bliss
All at once I know who I am

I am you

Jsh7.08

The light came through

2008-07-15T16:54:00.000-07:00

The light came through
the windows of my eyes
It started a flame in my heart
Burning the word
It was plain to see we are all the same
Sharing love is what we are here to do
The warmth of a good deed or smile
Looking up and seeing the sun
Rain falling on the ground
Cries of gleeful children
Remind our soul reclaim
Please give us grace in the presence of life
The light came through
the windows of my eyes

Jsh7.08

My Father

2008-07-15T16:53:00.000-07:00

Thank you for being my father
It could not happen without you
I owe you my life
You are strong and
You are weak
Your love is hard to find
But you are always there
I feel your pain
And pray for you
You have taught me many things
Most of all forgiveness
Forgive me father
My love for you will never die

The door to peace is open
The door to love is open

Namaste Jim

Not long ago

2008-05-04T08:08:00.001-07:00

Now
Knowing
Merging light
Where it is all
To the place
I am climbing
A ladder
Turned into brighter
The light became
Help me fight these
Addictions
Thoughts
Battles
Disease
Famine
The killing
I thought it might
The light
I went looking for
Asleep
Blind
I was in the dark
Not long ago

The Place

2008-03-30T08:06:00.000-07:00

Millions of years have passed
And I wait for you
I knew you when you were a stone
I watched you grow into the tree
I saw you as a fish swimming
and then as a bird flying
Now you are you
Do you remember me
I am the womb
I am the seer, the sun
the stars, the sky, the universe
I am you
Come to me and be as a child again
Play in clouds of fragrant flowers
Everything here is new
This is the place between thoughts where it is silent
Come to this place where there is no fear and all blessings bestowed

The Future Wind

2008-03-12T18:53:00.000-07:00

The Future wind is blowing
Breezes pass us without knowing

We wonder where its going
Seeds of karma we are sowing

Treasures of knowledge it will be showing
Our consciousness is growing

The Future Wind

I see You

2008-02-28T11:19:00.001-08:00

When I wake

A new sun rises

When I breathe

Winds blow across time

When I cry

Rains come to heal

When I laugh

The thunder rolls

When I dream

New worlds are formed

When I sleep

Life begins

When I sing

A new universe is created

When I look at my reflection

I see you

Walk with Me

2008-02-14T16:35:00.000-08:00

When you walk with me
We walk in the past

When you walk with me
We walk in the present

When you walk with me
We walk in the future

May your past be golden
May your present be golden
May your future be golden

Ascending to Self

2008-01-01T14:17:00.001-08:00

I have been climbing

A long long while

I see the top

Now looking at the God view

Splendor beyond belief

Joy bliss and beauty

Smell of ambrosia

Warm breezes caress me

I have become the effulgent

I feel the light of pure love
flowing through me

It surrounds me

It heals me

It makes me whole

Given

2007-12-24T08:26:00.000-08:00

I have given you a gift

But you have not opened it

Although you think about it at times

You like to have possessions

You add it to the others you bought

But a gift is given

There is no payment

Your gift is waiting to be opened

Someday when you see that taking
and having give no pleasure

You will open your gift

Ten, Twenty, Thirty, Forty, Fifty, or One Hundred Years

You will say I must open my gift

When you open my gift to you

You will see it feel it smell it touch it and hear it and taste it

It will be as new

Just like the day I gave it to you

The day of your birth

A Perfect World

2007-12-19T18:26:00.000-08:00

A Perfect World

Is it possible to have a perfect world

Is it possible for you to think of one

This world is your mind

You create your own world

Create it

Make a new one

What can you change

Change all

Remake it into a better place

Your own paradise

Share in the universal thought

Together we can make a perfect world

One at a time

Mystic Blog: The Poem "Chasing the Spirit"

The Long Shadow

2007-12-07T16:26:00.001-08:00

In the long shadow we look back at the day
And reflect remembering its memory the lessons learnt
The sun rising to greet us
All of the possibilities for growth
A rebirth a beginning
We choose what to see
In the long shadow
Time rolling on and on
Can we catch it hold on to it
Alas we must let go
If we can see ourselves from a distance
Then we can change
This is a timeless act
In that moment is transformation
It is then that we are forever different than before
In the long shadow there is wisdom

The Wind Blows

2007-11-06T15:57:00.000-08:00

The Wind Blows through the trees scattering the leaves

Find out where they go and why they come back

Dissolving flow into the nothingness of eternal time

Sprouting forth with enthusiasm and joy to proclaim life

Remember your birth and death

Find the in between space

Cherish it nourish it

Become it.

Clouds Under Your Feet

2007-10-04T11:46:00.001-07:00

Did you know

You are walking on clouds

You are protected

You can

You can withstand

You stand

You stand tall

Stand with ME

You have clouds under your feet

Eyes of a friend

2007-09-23T19:21:00.000-07:00

filled with compassion
Eyes
filled with strength
Eyes
filled with knowledge
Eyes
filled with pain
Eyes
filled with tears
Eyes
filled with joy
Eyes
seeing God

The last time I saw you

2007-08-21T20:13:00.000-07:00

In another lifetime
You did so shine

Your river flowed
And you grew old

Oh the many things you tried
All the times you laughed and cried
And then you died

Your wonderful story told
And you so very bold
Now your body turned cold

When will you rise again
My eternal friend
For I cannot remember when

Was the last time I saw you

To know the brightest fire

2007-08-04T12:12:00.000-07:00

To know the brightest fire

Comes from the heart

And freedom from it’s release

Is to know the word of God

The self that is in all things

The fire of passion in spirit

Burns the path of the dharma

Go forth with the light of wisdom

And unlock the secrets of the universe

Jim S. Hawks 07/07

It never occurred to me

2007-07-07T10:38:00.000-07:00

It never occurred to me
While I’m living I am also dying

It never occurred to me
I am breathing air that is millions of years old

It never occurred to me
When I watch a sunset someone else is watching a sunrise

It never occurred to me
There are things to be seen without the eyes

It never occurred to me
When I stop thinking the solution comes

It never occurred to me
Listening is more important than talking

It never occurred to me
I do not give the sun or you permission to shine

It never occurred to me
When I am happiest I start to cry

It never occurred to me
The gift I receive is the one I give

It never occurred to me
The littlest things can mean the most

It never occurred to me
The only thing worth stealing is your heart

It never occurred to me
Until now

Spirit

2007-06-25T13:15:00.000-07:00

Spirit

Come to us all lives are recorded

Consciousness goes on and on

Spirits are here always

Can you hear them

Can you see them

Can you feel them

They are watching

Waiting

For the chance to dance with you

Tell you ancient secrets

They want you to know

Ask the question

The answer will come

All knowledge wants to be shared

Tell of past lives- of lost worlds- of grand deeds
of the Eternal

Ride the winds and scatter like leaves but tell us the timeless story

Of the eternal lifestream that connects us all to past present and future

Spirit be with us

Morning Song

2007-05-17T13:42:00.001-07:00

The beautiful songbird awoke

Looking about there were no others

She thought to herself

If there are no others

Why should I sing

Then she heard a voice say

When I created you I gave you
a most beautiful gift your Morning Song

When you sing it all my creation is joyful

She pondered and then filled up her breast

And the most beautiful song came

Instantly all the other birds began to sing

The trees swayed

The grass grew

The sun shined

The voice said

Rejoice in this moment of which you are

The poem "Nothing"

2007-04-30T15:51:00.000-07:00

This poem is really about "Something!" Quantum physics is telling us that there is something that holds the world and universe together "It's the stuff, the unmanifested form" and it is 99.99999999999999999999999999999999% nothing. The ancients called it the womb of creation. Now read the poem again and see if you find-nothing.

Nothing

2007-04-29T07:14:00.000-07:00

There is nothing to write
Nothing to wrong

There is nothing to sing
we have forgotten the song

There is nothing to say

There is nothing to do

Losing the mind
find the clue

There is nothing to see

There is nothing to feel

Nothing to have
and nothing to steal

There is nothing at all

Nothing is all

About the poem " Earth Mother"

2007-04-26T17:45:00.000-07:00

This poem is meant to take you to a different perspective. We all are going to lie down again in the earth. She waits watching us
play out our physcodramas and muses, and thinking "I wait for your return." She is gentle and patient.

Earth Mother

2007-04-24T14:17:00.000-07:00

I wait for your return

I watch you in your play

You put on your sad face
your happy face
your serious face

You act out your psychodramas

I wait for your return

Beginning middle and end
future present and past

I long to hold you
For you to lay down with me again

Now I look at your wrinkled leather

In a glimpse you lay down in a quiet sleep
and dissolve into me again

The Suit is a way to the spirit. We must realize the miracle that we have been given
and take pride and care of our diversity. "For the next suit I give you will be beyond
all you can imagine."

The Suit

2007-04-19T18:35:00.000-07:00

And then I cried to the tailor
This suit is unacceptable
It's a beautiful suit he said
I said the arms are too long
The legs are too short, the shoulders
are too narrow and the
bottom is too big
And oh the color
And oh what kind of material is this
I want to give it back
The tailor replied
This is a suit of finest qualities
Its fabric is of a million cells
It's color of a heavenly hue picked by me and different from all others
The arms, legs, shoulders and bottom
were formed just for you,
they are your nature, your spirit
There are many precious gifts woven
into your suit It has skin and bones for
strength It has hands and feet to grasp
and walk and it has a brain to think
I created your suit to last a lifetime
Be proud of It's color, it's
form and It’s nature
For the next suit I give you
will be beyond all you can imagine

The Poem "Will you come time"

2007-03-25T20:18:00.000-07:00

We are looking at mortality or immortality; I let you be the judge. Time itself is an interesting concept so asking anyone the question elicits a personal response. Read the poem and make your own truth.

Will You Come Time

2007-03-14T14:53:00.000-07:00

When time comes for you
Will you be ready

Will you be washed and clean
Will you wear fancy clothes

Will your affairs be in order
Will your accounts be paid

Will you remember
Will you forget

Will you see

When time comes for you
Will you take it's hand

Will you be afraid
Will you cry

Will you laugh
Will you dance

Will you close your eyes in peace

Will you fly to your own personal heaven

Will you come time

About the poem "Earth Mother"

2007-03-08T11:10:00.000-08:00

This poem is a soulful look at how our lives are viewed from the point of nature. In nature the are no psychodramas, there is only patience and what is. And of course it
has a heartful connection to our mother, earth.

The Poem "Forgive"

2007-02-23T18:28:00.000-08:00

What happens when you forgive? You give, it's a form of giving to yourself. When you forgive someone you feel better and you release those negative feelings. The hardest thing there is to do is forgiving yourself, however it's the most rewarding. I wonder
why this is? Could it be that self love is something we deny ourselves?

Forgive

2007-02-22T18:31:00.000-08:00

For-give

Forgive them

Forgive yourself

Forgive the past

If you ask

HE WILL FORGIVE YOU INSTANTLY

Right now

This moment

You are new

No past

No future

Now you can create

Imagine something better

What do you want

Be clear

Be honest

Be yourself

Imagine that it is so

Believe

It will transform you

The Poem "Blue"

2007-02-11T07:48:00.000-08:00

The poem 'Blue' was inspired by a thought of communicating to my daughter who lives far
away and most often is impossible to reach or contact. She has had a rough life having children out of wedlock and taking drugs. 'Be with me' meaning be safe with God as your protecter.

Blue

2007-02-10T07:43:00.000-08:00

Blue is the sky

Blue are your eyes

Blue is your heart

A wind blows cool and cold
through the cave of your soul

It is a smooth and fleeting wind

It does not want you to know

It takes you away from who you really are

Come warm yourself by the fire

Be with me

About the poem "The Gardener"

2007-02-03T20:43:00.000-08:00

"The Gardener" sums it up in terms of what and where we are. We just need to slow down to get the answers; we are too bombarded with stimuli that doesn't serve us. We need to get in touch with the source, whatever that may mean to you. Make the change start the process of internal dialog, make some inroads with who you are and what you want and where you are going. You will be enriched and better for it. This an ancient solution and simple in it's approach but difficult in it's practice. First committ to start. Blessings enjoy the journey. Go to my website for clues in the form

The Gardener

2007-02-02T07:08:00.001-08:00

He planted us here on earth

In this world all is provided

We are like seeds waiting to germinate

When we know who we are

When we see through all that is false

That there is a divine magnetism that pulls us to our truth

Through the entangled vines of choosing

We break through our earthly bonds

And we bloom

We open

We reach out

Toward the sky

The vast universe opens

To reveal the glory of life

At this moment you know HIM

The Poem "Given"

2007-02-01T10:56:00.000-08:00

This poem is all about what has already been given to us. We can look deep inside and
decide what those gifts are. Being grateful for all that is "Given" especially the awareness of the ability to know one's self. When we are able to see in this way
we can use many of our experiences with more strength and detachment.

"Watching the river" Poem

2007-01-25T08:59:00.000-08:00

This poem is all about consciousness. This consciousness is always watching, it is seeing what we are doing. If we are able to tap into this consciousness we can start to direct our lifes with more purpose. We can change behaviors and thus outcomes.
When we are able to do this we can create a better, more enriching experience in this lifetime. May you "watch the river" from a different point of view one with awareness of the self.

Watching the river

2007-01-24T05:55:00.000-08:00

I sit silently by the river
The river of time
I have watched you
Days months seasons years
I have seen you struggle
I watched again as you cried
I watched you lose
I watched you win
I watched you build your house with
imperfect brick
I watched the doors when they open for you
I watched you close those same doors
Now dying in your bed you look and ask
Have you been here long
And I watch you die
I sit silently by the river
Watching

"There will come a day" Poem

2007-01-23T05:09:00.000-08:00

There will come a day, that phrase in itself holds a lot of meaning. The underlying theme in the poem is introspection. There will come a day "When your sun rises" is a metaphor for hope. Also the line "When you see things differently" means you have changed you look at things from a different point of view; you are evolving. "All your wars have been fought" these wars whether internal or external are finished now you can be at peace since this is the opposite of war. " When you embrace the dark as well as the light" or as a zen saying goes "Invite your anger to tea" we need the contrast of both to be wholly honest with ourselves and others. "When you can come home" is another metaphor for becomming whole or balanced and at peace with one's self and others.

There will come a day

2007-01-22T17:11:00.000-08:00

There will come a day
When your sun rises

There will come a day
When you remember the sky

There will come a day
When you hold your hand out

There will come a day
When you find your smile

There will come a day
When you see things differently

There will come a day
When you embrace the dark as well as the light

There will come a day
When all your wars have been fought

There will come a day
When you can come home

The day is here

The poem "A Better Day"

2007-01-21T12:32:00.000-08:00

The poem orginated as I contmplated what makes a better day. When desires are not means we are contented. One of the best lines of the poem "When love remembers us" is a blissful statement that love is the most important and powerful energy in the universe. Of course another insight into ancient wisdom is the line "When we lose our head and find our heart", this line refers to the "Monkey Mind" of the ego that calculates everything and block the free flow of ideas. I hope you all have a "Better Day".

A Better Day

2007-01-19T16:09:00.000-08:00

When we feel no pain
When desires are not
When love remembers us
When we help others
When we ask for help
When the skys give rain
When time is forgotten
When the taste of life is sweet
When we greet strangers with a smile
When we lose our head and find our heart

The Poem "Chasing the Spirit"

2007-01-17T09:19:00.000-08:00

Whether we are aware of it or not we are all chasing the spirit. There are times that things are not what they seem. Things that can't be explained by science or logic, it's these situations that lend themselves to believeing there is something more to this life than meets the eye. Miraculous healings, amazing feats of strength when needed. Fortelling with a hunch or intuition about a place or event. Dreams are said to be uncounscious; then why do they seem real and why can't we hold on to them? These are the things the poem is asking us to think about. Read the poem again for more insights.

Chasing the Spirit

2007-01-15T11:42:00.000-08:00

I hear calling and run to the door
but there is no one there

I hear beautiful singing but when I try to understand the words
The song disappears

I feel breezes blowing through me
but I can't hold on to them

I see faces in the clouds but when I try to speak to them
They turn into clouds again

I smell the fresh scent of a just picked flower
Once picked the scent is soon gone

I see the curtain open to my worldly play
but the actors are all me

I close my eyes to sleep and dream
but when I awaken I have forgotten

Poem called "Nothing"

2007-01-13T13:07:00.000-08:00

This poem came from a place of nothing. No thing or non-material space where thoughts live.
The meaning behind the poem is deeper than appears on the surface. Because everything is also nothing in the quantum world. An atom is 99.9% nothing and atoms make up everything. So you see from what we have learned so far scientifically nothing is everything. Now go back and read the poem again. And find the clue. I challenge you!

Nothing

2007-01-11T14:24:00.000-08:00

There is nothing to write

Nothing to wrong

There is nothing to sing
we have forgotten the song

There is nothing to say

There is nothing to do

Losing the mind find the clue

There is nothing to see

There is nothing to feel

Nothing to have
and nothing to steal

There is nothing at all

Nothing
is all
