Wonder and Astonishment


we readily admit that we know not how
the tumbler falls each morn
enabling us to awake
from our slumber

we are astonished!

so here we are then
like a computer rebooting
memory infusing sense of continuity
to our fleeting mind-body ego form identity
which we then take to be the real us
even though facts are otherwise
we yet think and act as fools

we are astonished!

musing in silence we see
that even though we have aged
innate aliveness, screen of consciousness
remains unchanged upon which earth life does play

we are astonished!

universe tests and jests
posing problems needing solving
we assume the role of limited doership
jubilant at our success and sorrowful at failure
while the hermit living next door just smiles
doing nothing save choosing response
dream life plays on in both cases
one is happy, the other not

we are astonished!

Wanderling & the Guiding Ancestor Stars

I sensed the stars
above me
And set them high
over a river deep

Massive black
emanations
Yellow street-lamp
reflections

Tonight - one even shone blue
Scintillating so true!
Grateful, I, through tears
saw with the Heart

Ingested the crystals
Left tired feet behind
Fly

SKY HIGH

Above me, it's all-sky high
Within me, there is no sky
Go deeper and there I am
Out to the edge of time
Tombstones
Back to the beginning of time
A big bang
It's still ringing in my ear
Echos from the past
Shooting out beyond
My space and time
I am awed
Eyes wide open
Halfway on my knees
Halfway standing tall
Halfway home

No frets, just a really good ear... awesome.

You inspired me.

Nightfall

Night has fallen

wide awake
With the gods

Staring through the ceiling;
a new day, being summoned

Awaits now, to be born
Borne, Through mine

Feet, dangling
The precipice

Then a sweeping - silence

Vastness of existence
