Gaia - held mebodies springingborn from mud, oceans, and treesreturning always unto the creases in her

welcoming arms

blessed have I traveled farfor so long walked upon youdanced with youhow I will remember you alwaysmother Gaia even sweeter than Venus in my dreams

drumming my footsteps in your soft nightlike a wild buffalo roaming your plainsseeing the stars and wild driving lightsnone hold like you

my heart has torn too many timesof what has been done to you and your childrenthough I can still hear you laugh at me like your little boyas if you could not purge to cleanse anytime

this is my sweet songdreaming into your breastmother of all life here with me

I knew I was not of youbut built from your body I have sharedenough to call you Mother

aye this childlike warm Taurus bulllet me lie upon you one more timeit will never be forgottenhow you have held me


4/21

escaping the master

of masters and leadersmost know not the difference

cowering on the mountain ledgesencased in small closed dwellings

no they could not see the sunbut only by faith could believe in itno they could not see the dark things belowbut only by faith could believe in it

most sit scared without even knowing they are afraidfollowing the world from which they partakefew have shaken the walls of their cavebeginning to life's opening to peace

the doorway though fear is that to peacefor it leaves us bare of what we are nothow willing would we beto seek it

the master of our own mind seeksnot to be led but to be told

what lands we may walkwhat we may eatwho we may marryand what mountains we may buy

it bows to the more powerfuland rules over life it sees inferior

we seek the leader within and withoutwho would enslave nothingbut joyously sing with us upon

the quest through the once the cold wallsunto the mountain

may peace be our guidesomeday we may speak of thingstoday we know not offor now may peace


5/21

be our gaugeand fear beour opening

no longer do we care what the neighbors say

nor judge our own hearts from the programof the master within

for it is that very masterwe are escapingand accept not our right or placeto judge

no we see with eyes beyond theseopened by the door of peace

only fear once held usno longer do we shiver alone

Amen


6/21

dreaming lifewords poundedfrom the breast of creation itselfbefore even

voice makes soundsor fingers scrape letters

words etched from nothinginto what we call form

no they were a dreamthen a thoughtthe form always trails

in the mind of all potentialall has occurred

will occur, and occurs foreverlet us take this small seat in the theaterand watch this show

how did the dream become usthe maddened attempt to be and forgetand when the shell is lifted

what a strange and differentland we see

fully aware we do not know anymorewhat we are capable ofor what rests within the possibilityof an aspect of God

in peace let us smile againstillness and safety always in Youand may we always rememberour home as we dream


7/21

the road of many

we have walked the roadslaid before our feet

and with many have we traveled

we have sought the dreamson billboards and promisesfor many miles we have walked

yet around so manyhow we felt aloneand when our legs were failinghow frightened did we rest

one thing we all have knownis the coldest loneliest ditchin which we have fallenlooking up while in paincrying out in our anger

we have all knownthe rising againdreaming again to reachthe next dream alongthe road of many

how many timeshow many times

will we get back uphow many times

would we be shattered againby the hard pavementof these roads

one day would we stumblenot upon the path of manybut into the woods

one day would we walkinto our own dreamour own steps


8/21

now followed

still may we walk the road of manyyet bound to its path we are not

within the soft streams do we drinkand in the high mountainsdo we restheld by the earth and life itselfno longer the cold lonely road


9/21

hidden knowledgebooks and moviesspeaking of what and howa grail, chalice, or piece was missing

from what was handed down

speaking of what we lostneeds no bookfor it breathes through and around usand is walked upon in all places

yes they gave us words of the Fatherin different degrees of correct interpretationbut even these formed into beliefsmeant once to be a premise for seeking

yes they hid the words from our Motherthe earth itselfand her way is law in this form

all we steal not meant for uswill too be stolen from usall we hate in our very minds

will create hate unto us

the Mother is exact and loves us as her own childrenshe does not punish only has a lawyet arms open wide for our return

if we want to see correctlythrough polluted lenses and bodies carried in conflictour journey will be difficult

here she beckons usas does the Sun, Light, and Spirit

see them bothwhat they offer could never be lost

Amen


10/21

tendinglike a cell tendingto the bloodand an organ tending

to the body

that a body can tendto the earthas a bird

would so perfectlybe as it is

and like the smallest atomwould be the earthboth orbiting arounda system greater in size

and on and onthese little eyes look out

in amazement and wonder

for now let me be this bodylet me breath this airand let me sow my life.I was never left without what I was

teach me and hold mebe with meand may I sing as best I canon these steps until

what is next

Amen


11/21

Earthlet me belet me be as I amas we are

all creatures stemming from the bellyof our mother

as caretakersnot infestations

where true healing is in and of the earth

for our own healing withincomes only from the source that renews

may my hands not faltermay my peace not stumble

to live in an indentured worldwhere all is owed not to the earthbut to man

when the towers crumbleShe will still be smilingand would the few that could rememberof where they were from

feet planted firmlynot to be undone

free does the bird flyfor it is a bird

free does the singer singfor it too is a bird

the last days were the first andthe first were the last

loops could not be ended forthey could not begin


12/21

but seeing a loop as other thanwhat it is

rests a dream of what is nottime can be misunderstood

purpose can be misunderstoodour very soul can be shrouded

if we seek where it rests not

true Freedom speaks to the only thingthat cannot be imprisonedconsciousness

once this is remembered may we return to sing

in the crazy loop of a crazy dream

soon my friendsoon my brothernow

alternative would be the dream of peacewhen fear grasps the throats of menwho are afraid to losewhat they believe they can hold

our two natures combineholding hands

we push on hereand carry the stone as best we canbut not to lose sight of whatrests inside

past timebeyond the world

all worldsall thingsall kinds of lifeand all that is not forever

peace be with us

Amen


13/21

gentler thingsmasked with wolves teethand bearded gruff we sittie and coat shiny

even red for what we call authority

masked with amulets of identity holding powerof what we perceive

we move into this placewhere one could still believeit could be given

deep in the woodsdeep in the cities

we still see the eyesof those dressed in the clothes of manyet would harm us not

for bread and a roof we have tradedas the game would make us dogladly we tradeand fed are our children for today

gentler things lie inside too manythat would harm no creatureand steal from no otherbut would givethat which most would calltheir life

take us to the eyes we seekfor we seek our own and they are many

whispering in-between barks and growlswe can be heard if you listen

we would harm you not.so many have survived in the forestas the forest demandedand still the body yells to be fedno judgmentof what it isfor to have life in the way we know


14/21

is alwaysto take another

let me bowsweet and soft for only one moment

in-between packs of my own kindripping flesh for what they do not know

let me askanother day of beauty where the sun risesand i run along the gentle plainsof the soft snow and sunlightthe wolf now following not afraid anymore

let me sing

Amento the gentle ones.

building

lego upon legothe child would call it a castlecell upon celluntil we see that of a bodyatom and atom untilthe elementand planet circling the sununto a solar system.as far as we may seeas small as we may see

all things of formcombine, dancing

and leave againonly to rejoin new buildingsin the endas in the beginningnothing was gainednor could be lost

only time beyond time can seenin what we call the beginningand the end

only eyes beyond eyescan we wonderat the incomprehensible vastness of buildingsconsciousness may create

our small lives so beautifuldancing under, above, and besidemay we remember

when the buildings become so vast

our thoughts are coveredas is our visioneven through the earth does It come

the remembrance of thatwhich breathes lifebeyond words


16/21

may we listenmay we smile at the greatest gift of alllife blessed

past the buildings

and in-between timewe stand with the Onefrom which gave us all we ever needednothing could be lostnothing could be gainedfully loving and wholemay we smile through and through

Amen

my childrenone day my body will be gonethis would be factthis poem is to my children

as my father left when I was too young to understand

his last words in my head were "i love you"but I really could not make them out

this poem is to a five and seven year oldI see being conditioned by a societyso they can learn to fit in and thinklike we all were once taught

my father passed and I missed his story

I have always vowed you will know mine if you wantthough now you would not understand

his did not sit on pageslet mine rest for you todayso tomorrow you can smile at the words of the man you knewas your papa

little ones,this is to you and I am looking in your eyes as I write

though no one who has ever loved a child would be forgottenin these small words

little ones,no matter how much I loved you that could not be enoughfor it is you who must shine on someday on your ownshine on my children

do not let the cold corners and bookends trap you for too longdo not believe killing and war is justnor believe those in power care more than they do

see the eyes behind the eyes unto truthyou and I and all little onesshare the same Father

I care about you and can only leave you thisI can only leave you these wordsso badly do I hope someday we can sit and read these words together


18/21

but we may not and so I write this

the quest to peace is your heart explodingit is the tears of happiness that you would be free and alivethat no one could ever take

if you seek it someday I will not leave you everit would only take a small twist of visionfrom the eyes of the world

now the night is late and even your papa gets tiredbut know how I hold you in my hearteven when I know you are you as I am Iand I see no difference in your eyes than mineother than a few long years

let us laughand join againin this quest to life

your papa


19/21

shine on beautiful childwe disperse from the centerinto the angles of the worldsthe tangents, the merging, and the game of life

some have been gone for so longthe center is all but forgottenthe quiet placethat has no place other than the remembrance

the whirlwinds of my dreamsthe storms of my emotionsboth beat me and carry melet me return

if the ticking days counting downto the end are what we fear

we have only forgottenwhere the center is

may we return again unto peacestillness and that home

where we are loved and lovefreely

knowing not the count of days or dollarsit cares not for these thingsthe center only smiles immune to all factorsshine beautiful child shine on

and what would i giveand what would we givefearless and unafraid for it is not our place to judgeour worthfor that is of the light from which we are drivenstanding beyond judgment

It who calls for us to shineonly what it would have us giveall we areall we have ever knownin the center when the world was tired and afraidshine beautiful child, shine on


20/21

love's blockadelove has already arrivedunlike the eyeslight is needed not

for it stands at the door to meetour own heart always

love givesfor it cannot but giveit does not need to travelas everywhere it standsand forever it lasted and will last

what then would be its blockfor anything of this magnitude

could have no fear of an enemy

love wars not with darknesspeace hides not from mistruth

let us look at the block to that whichmelts us into peace and lovefor love cannot be taughthowever the bindings to its opening can be pointed

into form let us travellet me zip up this human suit and plug in these eyesthere now let us look

the greatest fear I always believed that you were deep downmy enemy in the dark of nightseparate and differentstalking me in the woods waiting to takemy possessions and my very lifeto drain it onto the leaves

this is a horrid tale I do not know how manycan find in the depths of their plug in brain

but the real obstacle to peace was whenmy fear of my brother

was seen as it was.


21/21

I was the killer just the same as heI was justified in my thinking only because I knewof his guilt, and mine too

thus the human trap continues

the trap of body and painstopping freedom's flight

most of all blocking the entrance oflove

it would only require a mirrorand the willingness to see and forgive

Amen
