Best Guides Poems

As she meditated the room brightened. 
Streaks of energy came in and lightened.
She did not flinch, used to such things.
The whirls of essence danced in her rings.

She shut off her eyes and concentrated.
Hoping her front latch was firmly gated.
She understood the value of the spirit...

sudden storm at sea
ship’s compass spinning around –
waves thrashing my boat

welcome beacon guides
to shore as if to heaven –
lighthouse shows the way

be prepared to serve,
soul of life in unity,
it's the goal of life.


Lord Baden Powel

Cereus was in bloom in nightwashed
desert, sand was cool, it tipped off
the contour drain, a river sent its compliments.

If the death was at home, like an
estranged lover, will you open the door
in dusky stripes of morning ?

Rubber was burning in afternoon rain.
An alert was sounded...

pick a rose
pick a posy
posy of snowdrops
posy of violets
violets bright purple
violets to spray
spray the flowers
spray softly misty
misty blue eyes
misty cloudy days
days with laughter
days with tears
tears of gladness
tears of sadness
sadness in death
sadness for grades
grades to record
grades to improve
improve life’s direction
improve each decision
decisions Hell bound
decisions wisely chosen

Gladly, I greet the gristmill guard:
…..“God is good!”*

Governed am I by this goal in the granary:
…“Grind the golden grains gaily!”

Gallantly, I am gripped with grace-greatness:
…“Garner gems of generosity!”
 
Geared am I to grasp by grueling guaranty: 
…“Gird-up for next generation-grants!” 

Gazing at goodness-gleam, I glow...

Divine messengers from Elders past
beget humane muses of culture.

Prophetic win/win messages
perform and engage
redevelop and reconnect
guardian health systems
and wealth networks.

Proactive passionate verbs
pleasing domesticated nouns

recreating exegesis of re-ligioning life
spread and stretched between
flaming hot love and stone-cold hate.

Creolizing messages shaping defense 
of polycultural adventures
reshaping offense

Spiritual guides,
of all persuasions,
all religions,
all anti-religions,
with robust economic forecasting contracts,
and those without political capital,

Encourage their deep listeners
to avoid attachment

divestment from negatively felt thoughts.

And yet connection,
synchronization,
interdependence,
organic unity,
resilient relationship,
resonance,
harmonic tone,
bullish and mountainous volume
lies between too tight and high
and too loose and deep,
between...

safety in number
not quite, not yet
but safety and comfort
trusted ones select
reassurances in subtle ways
challenges in gentle ways
guidance in assuring ways
thought-I am safe
lost though I fear I am
unsure where I'm headed
the new goal not focused on what others think of me-their judgments
this moment I am simply...

You have graduated the angel was told.
You get to help guide an earth child until she is old.
The angel was delighted and began to dance around.

The angel’s baby was delightful in every way.
She recognized...

Your choice my committee said. But not human, Bo added.
Bo is the head, and the most eager spiritual guide to get me to level yes.

As we travel along the road of life,
     like scenes, perceptions and beliefs will change
Opinions manifest in distinct ways
     often a cause for thought to rearrange

We are subjected to the wiles of time

Today is an another wobbly morning where I have opened my eyes to collect my pieces and recollect the transient peace of last night  which soon gave it's way to  a tentative traumatising earthquake and perhaps this morning I found myself lying in the epicentre...
