So many twists
this tornado of a story
Such great risks
born of stupidity
and a lust for glory
Easing into fluidity
At peace with the irreversible
Made my way to center
Witnessing all
that is observable
Perpetuating positivity
As responsible inventor
It is my duty
A need born of necessity
that cannot be dictated
by the tale it secedes
Changing the way I see
weakness and entropy
Just necessary aspects of
the happy ending yet to be

Gush and rush
to your brain and toes
Godspeed to your knees
Bow at the feet of the toads
When their mouths swell
take heed of the stoic repose
in the face of environmental ruin
While for us this feeling of dread
Well it comes and goes
Just the life of a human
lost in our own head I suppose
That’s what they keep telling me
but nothing is true man
because no one knows
how things’ll turn out to be
when the sun burns out
and the final wind blows
So I’ll just open my heart
pour it all out
however this love spills
I’ll just let it be so
a buoy in an ocean of doubt
clutching my straw
smugly fulfilled
a fool in the flow
holding fast to outlast
the highs and lows
Two
I’m always with you
Ready for any opportunity to lift you
I beg you
not to forget to
use the gifts I give you
to get through
the moments that challenge you
Draw on our shared strength
to balance you
and know that I need you too

Ashram
Welcoming meditation’s
sweet lull
Relishing the satsang
and the strong vocal
Centered around the practice
that is my local’s main focal
Developing a stronger connection
with the US beyond our lovely hull
Helping me ever so nicely
lift the veils and comfortably
leave my skull
Relieved
Perfect is a many tendriled beast
that settles in on preconceived notions to feast
gnawing and gnashing the varied treats
rendering the oil that keeps these wheels greased
flipping switches digging ditches paving streets
so we can make our way both alive and deceased
Easing its grip it leaves the table after it eats
Revel in this transition a celebration of the released
Can You Feel This?
It’s my claim to fame
the fabric said to the hand
I’ll make your heart melt
with my extraordinary softness
I feel lost without a name
I need a designation
dashing dapper dare I say svelte
the hand’s reply was positively grand
Bequeathing a moniker sweet as a kiss
From this day forward you’ll be felt
The Way Aum
Step carefully
in the way
we’ve been so
graciously shown
Feel your feet
mindfully on
each of these
well placed stones
This simple path
laid out masterfully
Will certainly
lead you home
Just a Quickie…

Remember “This” is a labor of Love,
A work in Progress

“We” have been doing “This” together–the whole time.
But, really–even when “One” thought the blog was “Hers”–
“She” never subscribed to duality.
Sweet Heartful
Bursting at the seems
What seams to be us?
Getting the right words mixed up
Everything else is clear enough
In the right place?
They need too be
but its to tough for me
Leaf it up too you
two sort it out
I trust your judgement
believe in the movement
Tick tock is the reliable clock
Eye surrender too
the spaces in between
Divinity is next two cleanliness
So let’s make them squeaky
and get lost in the dream
Earth Mover
Greet love with each heart beat
Gush love even in heart break
Let the love you make
sweep the world off its feet
The fate of it all is at stake
From the Gross to the Subtle
