Emptiness free flowing*

Emptiness free flowing*

Autumn preview, the search ends

Twists in life, the tree limbs bend

Not to capture every moment that is seen

Detached from illuison, look it's a dream

Stillness has now been chosen, entered in my heart

Settled in this present, why should I depart

Blood becomes effortless allowing in its flow

My heart swells with love, as all I let go

Stream of consciousness all is clear

Pointing back within myself, centered to be here

Passing of life, like boats on the river Yangtze

Om Mani Padme Hum, to be free and empty

The ending came as it croaked*

The ending came as it croaked*

A nice afternoon is where I begin

I arrive at a pond to meditate within

Joyful as this is peace that it brings

I am underneath a locust tree, songbirds start to sing

I affix my self in an opening near the reeds

Ready to look inside myself, a moment to be free 

I sit  in a lotus position, I fit my being centrally as I stay

Now I am in my focus, my eyes turn inward in a gaze

It all comes together this feeling of bliss and to be still

I have made it to the other side without effort to my will

The world around me has enveloped me in such peace

Even right Now from raging winds this all came to a cease

I go a little deeper and a more placid sense of calm

I open my eyes a bit and see no ripples on the pond

The trees in a distance little movement as they stay

It is like they do ZAZEN, in the night and all day

But out of all this a little utterance from the wind as it spoke

When I awakened out of this, it was because a bull frog just croaked

A prison break*

A prison break*

Eyes that have endured nothing but pain

Back to the broken heart that to which is stained

No joy that can enter in such place

Being alone in sorrow, hiding one's face

No light of day has been seen to come

Looking for a savior to be free, so far no one

A plead that is requested to take this away

But no ears have heard this yet, goes another day

I beg of a moment that I have this love

And to bring back the wonder that I am made of

Please. please I wish of a heart that sees

So this cage can be open, with wings to be set free

Colors that see a blank*

Colors that see a blank*

Alive it came as it was once upon a time

Spring was in the air and all a fluid rhyme

Bursting from its tips, life in the trees

Opening up and setting it free

Time continued on and green came from the lumber

A little warmer in the temps, oh yes this is summer

Lazy days by river banks and longer nights too

So much life around now all was in view

But these two seasons rapidly come by fast

Seems only a memory soon, this does not last

But something is changing once again in its will

Nights losing their warmth as need a blanket for the chill

Yes colors came and the trees had them all around

It went from green, red, orange, yellow and brown

The clothes of nature gone, soon exposed

A blank canvas comes again I suppose

So this indeed was old man winter coming soon

The sun was hiding more to bring on the moon

Lowering the temps were crystallizing the air

Snow flakes in stock, from clouds everywhere

But old man winter wished his vengeance to release his cold

To bring on frozen fields with Jack Frost so bold

Hence the snow came and fell in collection

More of it knew of its own direction

Now there was no more fall, summer and spring

Harshness with burdens covered nature's things

All one seen an empty canvas with no more paint

Old man winter's color was white to taint

What "eye" do "I" see?*

If I look into it, it looks into me

Both eyes parallel within to see

Merging with this view as we both agree

From this it is I that is it and it that is me

No self in knowing but rather to be

Both leaving separation from duality

Inner sight and wisdom now becomes unity

And a world that I no longer belong to, for now I am free

Dom8Colucci 2015

Adherence to seeing what sees*

Adherence to seeing what sees*

An illusion and trick of this world to be in

Time comes with struggle again and again

Deceived into conformity seems right after birth

But as I press on with this, it is no worth

Doing my best to figure it all out

The deeper that I get with it, nothing but doubt

No awakening yet, the waste of another day

More of the glue of ignorance that really stays

So how does one break from what one has been taught

Be free from memories and see what needs to be sought

I guess the moment will come on its own accord

And leave all these notions that I cannot afford

Enlightenment will be when I am free of my "mind"

Allowing all things to be free of themselves and that will be fine

With this then there is nothing more that I can do

It is something I cannot see but instead it sees me in its view

It hid before it was the grid, natural beauty*

It hid before it was the grid, natural beauty*

There is a schematic that is in the natural world

In knowing not knowing, a happening unfurls

An opening is seen, internally something is ready to say

It pops out of nowhere, it is now life on its way

Though naked in the world, this is its origin of truth

The Divine guides this its wisdom to start its own root

Once this is achieved many more roots spring out like a fountain

It has started its based to grow from, now it becomes a mountain

When it arrives into the world, growing from its soil

Each moment becomes effortless without any toil

It speaks of a language while growing in such silence

No obstacle was ever in its way, there was no chaotic impedance

Now that it is open in a place that it popped from free

Enjoying the comfort with others around, the masterpiece of beauty

So we can see that all of this beauty is now on a natural grid

But before it ever came alive, it grew below and it hid

You have been here before*

You have been here before*

Waterfall, oh waterfall I feel the flow through my heart

A tear you once were as a cloud right from the start

Enjoying the ride as your freedom is in rapid flow

Something is leading you back, back where you know

When you finally reach your destination, really this is not your end

Somehow you will arise back into the cloud and do it over again

Being well "seasoned" in letting go*

Being well "seasoned" in letting go*

What is that I hold onto that is not seen?

Is it something I am not awakened with, stuck in a dream?

There is nothing that is there but it seems a shadow to be

It pulls me in more and more, a prisoner not free

I look around and seems everything has let go

Why is it outside of myself this wisdom that it knows?

I know that it was myself then that put this here

But how do I break this duality that seems so clear?

I guess then I did put it here then I can take it away

Knowing, nothing was ever here in the first place to make it stay

But how do I prove this to myself with so much doubt

To let it go free from inside of me to out

The answer that I look for is in nature that I seek

The stillness from a mountain to the flow of the creek

Yes it is also seen in seasons that it shows

Flowers and green leaves all disappear right before it snows

Dom*Colucci 2015

A seed is freed, the flower*

A seed is freed, the flower*

Without any purpose or cause to be

Deep within knows when it is time to be free

Held underneath away from its world

The moment it knows how to unfurl

Yet patience comes just a bit longer

It sees through this on how to be stronger

Yes the time has come to remove the darkness from its night

And to move with silence through stillness, to now see the light

Dom*Colucci 2015

Night erased by light*

Night erased by light*

I looked up in the night

All I seen was the twinkling light

Jewels and diamonds in a treasure

Many miles across in such measure

As it was progressing on

Further away it seemed the light was done

But something made a turn

It is like someone lit a match to burn

Oh now I can see

An invisible hand working so free

Then the wall of darkness being erased

Now all that exists is a ball of glow sitting in space

Our place in space*

Our place in space*

There is nothing more from before

Tho once it may have been

But something opened the door

For us to do it again

Repeating not from the past

Where we enter we cannot see

The thought in memory will not last

Letting go of what is, allowing us to be free

Fresh from this as we become

That accepts us in this place

As now a memory is done

 We move on, in Universal space

Dom*Colucci © 2015

Here we are open*

Here we are open*

Oh heavens above

Openness with your love

I see your freedom all the way

Without clouds in the sky

That I know you will not cry

And shed your light and warmth of the day

Gentle as I see

Texture in letting it be

The space in forever is clear

Where does one go?

Only that one really knows

For forever that is clear is right here

Symphony of winter*

Symphony of winter*

A cloud is shivering, a frozen sound

Look in the heavens in what is coming down

See it blow so gentle and free

A state of happiness, a rhapsody

Going to and fro, destination unknown

Silent music in the wind, lightly a song

It gives itself up for heaven's sake

The dance of togetherness, many a snowflake

Dom*Colucci © 2015

Freedom does not have an illusion*

Freedom does not have an illusion*

It is all happening all at once in the surround

You notice it more in nature, moving about and around

But it also is where you are standing as it takes place

There is something that is allowing all to move in its space

Openness it takes advantage in what it always sees

To move right where its from and knows how to be free

There is no agenda in forming any kind of rights

As it is liberated where it is like no shadows on a light

So with this in mind, coming to a conclusion

Freedom is within to start from and not without in an illusion

Dom*Colucci 2014

A "step" within myself*

A "step" within myself*

I was so innocent when I came into this place

Freedom in not knowing moving about in this space

But ignorance sets itself against who I am

It is now doubt, this way of life is the plan

A reality that walks as a shadow next to me

I am the captive of myself and not to be free

Somehow I know of something that is so deep

To escape these clutches that it cannot keep

There is another side to this consciousness that I know

To put an end to this and let it go

Yes this was the first step and it was to suffer inside

In such letting go, to do it in stride

I since moved on as now there is joy where I be

Happiness is growing steadily, I feel love within me

Seeing that I have such contentment in being right here

The picture is more in focus, it is becoming very clear

The journey is nearly over, like I climbed to a mountain top

Awareness kicks in and now I cannot stop

Yes there is something that awaits for me to see

What is there is now here, it is me that sees me

Dom*Colucci 2014

Eyes without a face*

Blindly walking though life with this heart

Knowing that such love exists that does not pull me apart

Looking, searching, moving ever so that it seems I do not see

I pray to what knows of me to see and to be set free

Please, oh please I know that you are in this place

But when I turn around to you, will I will see eyes without a face?

Dom*Colucci 2014

Love in you is my passion*

Love in you is my passion*

Baptize me with your love, from this heated desire

Quench me with such thirst, to ease of this fire

I am succumbed to a passion that I wish not to burn

Romance in such passion, a longing that I have yearned

Please let the wick to this candle not fade away

This flame must be tamed for it to stay

For one knows that love is measured in each moment in time

And not to engulf in flames and make one so blind

Holding on is no good as this burdens one as well

One must enjoy each step and make heaven and not hell

I trust this love to be forever but yet have its freedoms too

But you will always be in my Soul* and I will always love you

Dom*Colucci 2014

Joyous light of love*

Joyous light of love*

I know of a place where happiness does grow

The more that I am grateful in joy, the more that it shows

Deep within it is tapped, surfacing to the top

Once it is revealed, this feeling it cannot be stopped

Oh wonder that you are from a chest filled with treasures

It is this state of bliss that comes with all these pleasures

The feeling runs wild all over and never does it part

This is definitely healthy and it is great for the heart

I can only show more of gratitude, for this always to be

Oh wonder that walks in freedom, inside of me

Yes I now grow inside and this is how I was made

For it will always be of love and this light will always stay

Dom*Colucci 2014

This present that I am being*

This present that I am being*

What is gone is from past dreams

Into the future with nothing it seems

To hold on to a blank and never let it free

Is this what life does to you while living in misery

I must learn to let go and cast that far away

It did not ever mean anything to me anyway

What was I doing and what was I seeing?

Nothing was there but this present that I am being
