The sound of silence
No longer rings in my ears
It has become my solace
To wipe away all my fears

This is the way I have grown.

Down into the deepest caves
We go.
But I will fear no evil, for
The darkness is only
unrealized light.

[FoxTracks]

There was a time
When I was only a twinkle in the eye
Of a god pondering creation

My, how far we have come.

As my old friend leads me to death again
I ponder that I am now free of sin
As if I had ever had such a stain
Except in concepts locked within

Death is not the scariest thing in life;
For me, life is the scariest thing.
Death is return to bliss
Living is quite a risk

But I have fallen in love with life
Though it presents me with a surly mien
The thoughts within, they say
"We are blessed, though burned we may have been"

[FoxTracks]

Dead leaves fall away
The lotus pushes up through the mud
The water caresses the shore
Of the pond
The wonders never cease,

There is beauty
In stagnation
A light
In melancholy
A poignancy
In distress.

Why shouldn't a flower
Bloom forever
It did!
In that moment
When you looked at the petals

In that time when the leaves fell away
There was more than you could imagine
and why even try?

The petals settle down in the water
The ripples caused cool the eyes
and sate the thirst for beauty
Whatever could be the meaning
Of such a timeless sight?

@ Purpose of a flower ~ What a beautiful poem this is!

[FoxTracks]

Thank you seeker :)

Solitude can be comforting
Loneliness can be sharp
The messages sent to me are lilting
Melodies that pierce my heart

Today I found myself
Today I plucked my heartstrings
Today I loved the rot
Today I made love from rotten things

There is no cyst or tumor
Love cannot overcome
The loneliness is fading
The solitude no longer makes me numb

I love in weeping pages
Written only for me to see
I love in crying pen strokes
Trying to find beauty

Will you come and be my friend?
I can’t say that I’m entertaining
But I will be there till the end
You will find me there, waiting.

I am the witness
And now I know
That my consciousness
Is watching
I let go of my soul

In this life there is permanence
If only one thing
Yet even it changes
From life to life
In expression it sings

How to separate
The two
So closely interlinked
Within and without
As if water breathing water
In passion I sing

Passionate love
Oh how do I gain you
Passionate love, oh how I mourn
When I leave you

It starts with the self
From looking within
It begins when the self
Is abandoned
In favor of a looking glass
Mirrored and purified
Of sin

[FoxTracks]

The rock doesn't move
I cradle it in my hands
I can see clearly

Love is a phantom
Love is not to be clung to
Love is letting go

Break the looking glass
See again with refreshed eyes
Destruction holds love

[FoxTracks]

Sights fold like origami
Into my awareness
cracking like fortune cookies
Inner eye, Opened wide

The lack of concrete vision
Is not disturbing
I know without words
I feel without thought
