Float on by…

float2

Move towards something
And it gets closer,
True for everything
But the clouds!
They just never
Seem to get closer!

You take a step
They take a float

Even when finally
In a hot air balloon,
Your put your whole self
Straight into its belly,
Still nothing to grasp
Nothing to hold!

Yet all the while
Still there all around!

Such is breath.
You can feel it
You can even watch it
Without it
You cannot be!

Can you hold it?
Can you bottle it?
Can you save it for a later day?

Just as the clouds
Shower a love,
So does breath
Ultimate lover’s love.

Just as the clouds
Transport droplets from air to land,
So does breath
Link strong, you and your source.

So before it’s too late
And breath floats on by,
Connect and secure
The link on your side.

Acknowledge each one
As they come and go,
Bringing the possibilities
For what it’s all about.

Love and enjoy
Acknowledge and appreciate,
Revel in gratitude
And let each breath
Be its wait in gold!

Paradise

paradise

 

Have you ever seen
The vivid streaks
Of orange, red and yellow,
The blinding brightness
Yet mesmerizing vision
Of the sunset?

Have you felt
The crisp tingle,
Wet and refreshing
Frothing and cleansing,
Chilling yet beckoning
Lapping waves of the sea?

Have you heard
The coo and chirp,
Sharp yet tuned
Cheerful and chatty
Playful and sassy,
Chanter of the tropics?

So much color
So much tune
So much texture
Wow what a wonderful world!

Yet there is another paradise
One where colors have no name
And illumination is of warmth.
The rivers run of nectar
And hunger isn’t possible.
Where harmony is felt
And every breath is a song…

Look past the cover of your skin
Beyond the actions of your limbs
Though the expectations of your mind
And therein lies a land
Of milk and honey..

What is this you ask…

This is your existence
Your every day
Your very moment.

Go in search
But not too far,
All it takes
Is the want to know
The zest to find
The perspective to see,
And low and behold
You’ve found your way!

Life Matters

paradise2

 

Animal-istic!
Ferocious and fun loving

Plant-istic!
Whimsical and free living

Human-istic!
Compassionate and full of giving

All so distinct
And then,
By the Magician’s wand
All rolled into one, the human being!

What a jewel in this earthly crown!
Yet does he even know
How he stands out?!

By incredible design
A behavioral machine,
Reacting to stimuli
With unending zest.

Fascinated by the senses
With everything he sees
He hears
And touches!

Yet, not only is he the jewel in the crown
He is also a crown within the jewel!

Rippling
Through every  cell
Every muscle
Every organ
And laid deep within
Are gems…

When uncovered
This vegetative
Animalistic human
Comes alive!

Alive! With a truth
That surpasses any sensory stimulation
That puts to shame the conquests of conquerors!

Why?!
Because this journey
Can only be made alone
This journey
Makes you yield all your weapons
This journey
Is the making of mankind

When love, understanding, gratitude surface
Humility is second nature
The next person as deserving as you
Compassion for life and all that lives
Now matters.

Life matters!

 

 

 

Destiny, Fate and Luck

The scientist believes,
And serves to prove
“Cause and effect”
Every action has a reaction.
Your reality is direct
Causal effect in form…

The philosopher thinks,
And serves to explain,
You are not what you see
Nothing is what is appears
So search and debate….

The artist creates,
And serves to stimulate
Pushing you out of your box,
Sometimes with delight
Sometimes with a certain discomfort…

So who tells you
And serves to show you
You are you,
Complete, fortunate and free!!

Who guides you to you,
The depths of your comfort
Finding serenity and your home?

How beautiful then
When Destiny is where you are
Fate is your privileged existence
And Luck is your acknowledgement…

So be sure to hold supreme
That which guides and ushers,
You to You….
