Mother Nature stops by to open the door*

Mother Nature stops by to open the door*

Gazing outward upon the limit where this begins

Knowing that there are no boundaries from within

An opening it seems, partial clearing in the door

But a movement in another angle, as I can see more

Immobile I stay and absorb this to be still

Peace at hand that is with me, now becomes my will

Taking in more silence, nature outside this door speaks

It is divine communication in which the Soul* needs and seeks

Only a couple sounds of utterance from birds as they say

This is an awakening to tell me walk with joy of this day

So when I heard of this now happy that I see

If it was not for Mother Nature, this way I could never be

Walk this way home*

Walk this way home*

Alone in this moment as I drift away

All around in detachment no longer to stay

A deeper sense of being to walk to the abode

My heart patiently settles to release a heavy load

The closer I get, feeling the embrace with its arms

A richer feeling of acceptance as this turns warm

I can never look back in where I just came

Just like a lit candle wick with its flame

Tho there may not be nothing here but empty space

But that is OK, all of what use to be is erased

Within that I become and chaos has now ceased

I have found my home within and all of its peace

A little pain made it rain*

A little pain made it rain*

Spring that hath come to be reborn

Days longer to be in feel its warmth

A mixture of colors and everywhere to be green

Joyous and abundant life, yes it is seen

This all is coming out as wonders from the start

Look at what is divine, a masterpiece of art

But what is this, summer here soon

A different phase in the sky, postioning the moon

So the haze and humidity starts to rob the air

Atmosphere of heat, it does not care

Slowly all the green begins its death

The heat is pulling away life and its breath

A plea from nature, our life do not take away

Let us show more of our beauty at least for another day

But pain from the heat still lingers so

Death all around, nothing to grow

But the clouds up above feel sorry you see

They would rather bring back joy instead of misery

Something inside them wants to release its pain

Yes it is love, as it starts to cry tears of rain

Life that seemed to have shriveled up to die

But another cheek has turned and hurt made it cry

Abundant now this feels to do this like it began

Once more it is like spring to make all green again

One must sleep before they are awakened*

One must sleep before they are awakened*

Every bit of detail in life evaporates 

On to another section that it creates

Gone is what you have just seen

Like it was enveloped in the open it seemed

For  it was a motion picture moving on

Turn your head and blink your eyes, it's done

Nothing is anchored down

Even from silence, the slightest of sound

Yet this movie continues to prevail

So then this illusion becomes a fairy tale 

To the one in the hub watches this wheel

How this illusion entices the Soul* to steal

As the wheel continues its movement on its way

To the enlightened one, it has broke free not to stay

Still no matter what in this sea of nothingness

The only fulfillment from nothing more is balance to nothing less

To be that one that becomes wise to what it takes

Just learn to let go, open your eyes and become Awake

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

Journey to end with the light*

Journey to end with the light*

Life one day started out like a candle stick

Inside of it was its path, the wick

Once it was on its way to be lit

This light took direction and that was it

Melting it was through the moments in time

Each spot through this it made, oxygen it did find

Lower and lower the wick burned through

A steady flame that knew what to do

No longer was it to be upright and firm

It just kept moving onward, the wick it did burn

Dissolving with itself, a waxy build up in the blend

A lit step at a time, nearing it's end

One thing that was noticed, expiration so near

It was the past of this candle, that was slowly to disappear 

Once things are in motion there is only one thing do

Is surviving in the next moment, something they must go through

Like are friend the candle not goo from it's blend

But was it great use on the path from beginning to end

The route (root) of fruit*

The route (root) of fruit*

So tender and wise is the seed

Before it comes for the world and its need

It knows how a vital role it plays

That in its maturity of patience for days

The moment that it begins to grow

It removes its shell, wisdom starts to show

A pattern that was learn before it came

To be on the path, be assertive and remain

Upward it grows, a poke through the ground

Making its trunk from roots to bark without sound

Leaves from limbs a fashion to be made

But of course a protection from heat with its shade

Blessed is the day when the fruit comes to be

Popping out sporadically all over the tree 

But it waits for the moment for it to release

A certain calm within its trunk and tension begins to cease

Now as the moment has come from being attached

As it knew when it was a bud that merged from its hatch

Flourish and prosper, leaves the parent alone

As now it belongs to the Universe on its own

Oh wondrous and beautiful that something to ripen sweet

And then to fall gracefully in front of its parents feet

An apple that now has become delicious fruit

But it all started from the seed within it and made it from a root
