Where We StandWhere do we Stand?
Losing ourselves
It's not a point
An arrival
A destination
A departure
A beginning
A never ending
An end
a time to mend
In the groundlessness
We’re standing
Where we stand

Its true
Unshakable
Others will not...

I called your number
I was hoping you’d pick up
But I had no luck
You sent me right to voicemail

Wonders
There’s something about dew, glistening,

Clinging to quiet petals,
Gently hugging…
There’s something about mist, indefinable,
Hazy as a shadow,

Creating a trembling desire,
Coloring the spirit fiery,
Urging reflections, rising…
There’s...

Pillar of Salt and WisdomAs Lot and his wife
Left the city of Sodom
Where gnosis flourished

Hearing the children crying
Her heart made blood tears
It ripped from top to bottom
Hearing the calm call
Of gnosis...

This Man Can
Delicate feathers,
Pieced together by the most fragile feelings,
Seeds, insects, air scented
With the freshest light, soft and still,
Tranquility,
Listening to dusk’s gentle quiet,
Fireflies glowing,
The flow of a rhythm
In sun, moon and stars…
His universe, His skies,...

are falling down into the eyes
of a man who is searching, yearning to find
fantastical vistas inside of his mind.
The warming rays illuminate for him
branching paths from which to choose again–

Absolution
Once upon a time, in a land of heart
There came a thundering desire,
Even though God has set this one apart,
Chosen them for service, love’s magnifier!
When this heart realized their backsliding,
They opened the bible, turning to...

the moon shines through the window.
There’s a sound of feet sliding
through the hallway softly gliding.
I sense a touch of lavender scent
something so sweet, heaven sent.
As she sings, I hear the...
