Short Immediacy Poems

The immediacy of time,
its reference untold

The beginning repeating,
not young—and not old

(The New Room: January, 2021)...

Direct immediacy..

Seems to be

A pretty good map

To find This..

Time is shattered

Space explodes to

A vast unknown..

Hold on..

Are we there yet..?...

Immediacy

Without the

Connections

Without the 

Back and forward

Without the

Transmmissions

Without the 

Knowing 

Without the

Stories..

Immediate

Peace......

Freedom's Immediacy..

Fighting for freedom

Is the battle cry of separation..

Freedom is not free..it is repeated..

However..

Freedom seems to arrive when

Freedom appears already as

Expressions such as these......

Gaps

And fences are

Storied to

Make wholeness

All good and

Perfect..

Overlooking the

Immediacy of

Wholeness as

Not two..

Giving way to

Judgement and

Compassion as

Architects of

Wholeness..

Well..?...

Meaning
Finding it
Seems the passion
Of many..searching
For a narrative to explain
What's happening..and
Seeming to bypass
The unexplainable 
Immediacy of 
What's seems to be..
Yet searching
Goes on..glowing
With reflected
Immediacy...

AI

Can create an

Unending string of

Amazing new stories

All for now depending

On a vast store of data..

On the horizon is

AGI (artificial general intelligence)

Which is a leap

An unhinging from the

Data as needed to solve

Problems as humans..

In immediacy......

sacred smells
osmotically permeate
immediacy of consciousness 
which we imbibe gently
in tranquil silence 

memory triggers 
associated
rested

inner polarities 
dance as they like
in which we too delight
partaking of each offering
with prayerful gratitude 
savouring the elixir
surreal, ethereal...

Pop-ups:

No time and space

Appearances

Paradox 

Empty stories

Not knowing

Just happenings

Unknowable

Indescribable

Immediacy

Spontaneity

Already

Sourceless

No teachings..

These empty words

May seem to

Jog memories

Appearing

As  thoughts

And feelings like

Joy and peace......

Famous for committing mistakes
in solstice.
Now breached.

What was the immediacy
to uncover –
the parallel skin ?

Abandoned on road in a sac:
you were running,carrying
a severed hand holding a pen.

Not wanting to become 
human again. What was
your dream O god ?

Gorgeous was the scar
on your chest. The cobra 
was bedding with you.

faces in places
       studied moments
   in time

portraitures 
            as still life
                breakfast pieces 

people in
         floating 
            experiences 

 translucent beauty 
                    in plein air

   blurring the genre
       
 an immediacy 

uniquely 
his own

    pushing the envelope

                ..   open...

Like wine in storage,
The cellar of my perception ages
Buried deep in its recesses
The past and future abandoned 
  —time no longer the vintner

Fermenting in the immediacy
Of the chosen instant
And distilling in the perfection 
Of the perpetual present
  —the moment reopens
 
       Bringing with it everything
          —and nothing at all

BEACH GROWTH


He was an 18 year old boy.
Vomiting from fear,
Surrounded by confusion,
Focused on a 20 foot radius of immediacy
Where death could be instant
Or life might depend on a shingle bank,
Reaching the safety of a shell hole.  
He became an 18 year old man
On Omaha Beach.


………………………………………………………………………………………………….
Written after hearing the first hand experiences of  veterans of the 1944  Omaha Beach assault....

The obsessed with supremacy
Always quits with immediacy:
To whom “Challenge me not” is a policy, 
Unaware of its sad deficiency.

Everything wears its intricacy,
Even Justice of Wide Advocacy, 
The Sick’s Drug-Providing Pharmacy, 
Kitchen with a sought delicacy 
And Righteousness linked with Adequacy, 
Death seeking often our intimacy 
But sure floating an Autocracy!

Now, tell me why Seekers of Supremacy 
Shall smell Death’s Sincere Mercy....

A birthing moment from the fog that surround,blissful,momentary experiences from a higher radiance, caught,captured and considered. This power to inspire never ceases, breathes in the minutiae of life,where we may be trapped.All or nothing or not at all.This perceptive observation,the now immediacy of wordless lines can recapture the moments of love or suffering and imprint our page to become an epitaph,a footnote in history as we allow faith to inform our work....

Paradox

Appears and

Burns the story

And itself..

A shocking

Turn of events

In a story...



Stories are

Appearances

Of knowing..

Paradox points to

Not-knowing

Which may 

Empty these

Appearances...



Paradox

Is a sudden

Pointer

In a story

To the immediacy

Of emptiness

In all stories...



Paradox

Sets a fire to

Separation's hold..

Impossibility

Is the new story..and

Possibly peace......

Hard edged (unreality) you face away from my immediacy (candour eschewing) inimically you parody, offering as nice the complexity of ''vice''exploiting even nature 

(as voyeur and narrator) your intention anethema to the nations, 
as you   coerce ''your creation'' encouraging over consumption, 

with a hard nosed gumption, yet my God who is greater 
is no longer willing to be a waiter!sickle in hand he is walking his land, 


with the sun as his shadow is this (One)
to be Hallowed..!...
