bless them and release them
everyone is seeking love
not knowing it is what we are
masked in ego
numb to the Source
cells in the heart of God
Immigrants Looking for Home
At the base of a desert mountain
the dry ocean of empathetic waves
mingle and continue as the air we breathe.
There is no spiritual boundary
in the atmospheric sea.
Winds blow through fences.
Border Patrol may capture and detain us
on farms our ancestors lived.
Long guns with laws may deport us.
We still share the same air
and ghosts of history haunt the land.
We’re only looking for home
above the cemented gulch
of the Rio Grande.
Artists
We’re learning to travel the tunnel
and come back spontaneously.
Attachments keep us tethered
but head signals are increasing.
We won’t let go but want to.
Our guides are around us
giving directions.
We paint them to understand them
multidimensionally
mystically multiplying toward infinity
while houses breathe and tick and hum.
Everything makes its presence known.
We are never alone.
Midnight Mindcraft
Even houses snore
tic and breathe
pulse with atoms
and illusions we believe.
Every creature fights for rights.
One way or another
the ego screams “mine.”
We lie in our beds wondering
if its thunder, gunfire
or fireworks flowering.
Everything blooms
with passion, wilts and dies
rejoining the source
with no questions.
Rivers join the ocean
then it rains.
Rivers rise again.
The Drama of Silence and Light
Portals, gateways
increasing signals,
electricity
humming in radar ears
pulling of my essence
outside the shell
reading my power,
choosing to follow a program
from an unveiled source
or to disobey my own enslavement.
I grip with ghostly nails.
I love what scares me
and hate it too.
One leg through the veil
head stuck in the doorway
to grip what I know is unreal
a shallow layer of being
afraid to let go of illusion
while beginning to have a clue.
I grip with ghostly nails.
I love what scares me
and hate it too.
