So fast, something
Safe can become
A prison.
Walls being too familiar,
Keeping out the world
While tenderly preserving
A monastic sanctity.
When did it all
Become such a threat?
Peace being lost
In the claiming of
Freedom…
So wounded
We wait
We tremble
While wars are being
Fought
Inside the caves
Of the silenced Mind.
The birthing canal is
A mystic doorway
To a story.
Some of it is already
Told
Some of it is waiting
For a twist of plot
Or a new character.
I am drawn to the sea
As I am drawn to the mysterious
Unknown.
To eternity veiled
By the expanding
Horizon.
Perhaps in disguise
Only a mirage
Of the ocean I carry
Inside
Offering up
A piece of the
Mystery.
When I look into your eyes
I try to surpass the many layers
You hide behind. I pass
The border that says
Wolf, Mammal, Animal.
I find you there
Being, life, energy.
I find my own existence there
Being, life, energy.
This is where we meet.
This where we are the same,
And this is where we
Learn to love each other.

Our insatiable God-hunger
Will slowly kill us
If we trick it with sugary treats
For too long.
It is an innate hunger to
Know our selves, to feel
The roots of our life-light.
And to turn our backs on it
Is the ultimate darkness
That will eventually blind us
To our very own soul.
My desire
For my Wild Self
Overflows and
Floods any trace
Of the sophisticated Ego.
Leaving bare the wooden fleet
Containing my shining
Soul bobbing peacefully
On the white-crested
Hurricane.
The echo of your life drifts
Like waves in tall grass.
The seascape of your
Leaking heart
Beyond its quieting
Untamed rain.
