Separation Ends
Look for Me,
not with your eyes,
but with your heart.
You are the flowers,
the sun
and the light.
Together we can walk
and cover the most distant reaches,
scale the highest mountains.
Bind with me
so you can knit the tightest of all unions,
the seed for all communions.
Our kinship blossoms hearts,
life is renewed.
For us separation ends,
and for the rest,
heaven begins.
Unbind
Imprisoned,
on the edge of hopelessness.
Unbinds the shackles,
a prayer.
Spark
My misery;
arises from your absence,
an urge to fill the lack of your presence with fleeting,
unimportant things.
In search of meaning,
I encounter emptiness,
a bottomless one,
the kind that meets loneliness.
Then you come and undo the damages.
This child,
a songbird,
with one spark from your light takes to flight,
in skies full of stars soaring over illusions
that were once so mighty and high.
Siren
Late in the day.
Outside quiet,
inside a riot.
With you a dance,
without you a siege.
A relentless assault,
an occupation.
Your siren:
A peace that rings out loud,
in the silence of night.
The Bewildered Mule
Once a scholar,
now a tavern soaked in fuel.
Burned in the flames of endless pursuit,
I awaken with nirvana,
a bewildered mule.
Sleepwalking
To find gold,
I’ve slept walked through earth and more.
Tired and weary,
lost in the numbness of my dead sleep.
Mask
Don’t let this face fool you.
For our purpose,
the contents of its frown are useless.
Secrets
Your room has tile floors,
elegant, beautiful tiles.
My room has a window with blinds,
but unlike yours,
my floors are made of wood.
Amber, oak, maple have left their
homes and reside here now.
To them,
I am a companion,
a friend.
They are to me:
Pillars, guardians.
For you a bridge,
the kind that stretches from
my door in the east to
your footsteps in the west.
Use the bridge as a guide
and take a leap.
Look for my window
when you arrive.
I’ll remove the blinds
So you can see my smile.
The answers you are looking for
rest here in the floors,
on the walls and in the ground:
The secret to gravity,
a manual to fly.
Shield
It’s weight
like a turtle’s shell
the human mind.
Teach me how to swim
With you,
I’m sane.
Without you,
Insane.
Like a wonderer,
gazing at a sea of confusion.
Teach me how to swim.
Look for Me,
not with your eyes,
but with your heart.
