Wind Dance Without Within

Wind Dance Without Within




no solid food

reveals through moods

all wind I breathe

dances in me

nourishing cells

guiding me well



I’d like to fly

even if I die

by diving in

to loving wind

but I’m a man

who walks on sand

.

when moved by greed

to rush seize squeeze

I want to scream

out of this dream

stone please be bread

or I’ll be dead



but freeze my greed

until you seed

desires to free

humanity

with loving care

that’s always there













divinity’s

here when I feel

we are all one

is truly real

while I adore

those near my door



dear hearts please bleed

for we who need

helping us all

unique ways called

to freely be

community

Baptize Us Wise

Under water he holds me down

till I feel I’m going to drown.

While I am breathless in John’s hands

I’ve made a friend who understands

desires we have to share and care

are as strong as our need for air.



My first gulp of air

feels breath’s a prayer

creating with love

peaceful as a dove

birth of an adult child

who’ll find how in the wild

earth water sun and sky

re-birth when’re we die.

Aware Air Cares

Every spring we travel to Jerusalem

where our Passover Seder

inspires us to create

new ways to be free.

When I am twelve,

while my parents are journeying home,

they are shocked I am missing.

After searching for three days

they are amazed to find me

teaching adults in the temple.

I tell my negligent parents

to join my new family

breathing in sacred air

a parent who always cares

Animal Love

When we return home

our neighbors call me a bastard,

but when my parents tell me the story

of shepherds adoring me

when I was born in a stable

I feel loved and able to love

like a domestic animal.

Freedom From Trauma

When the king hears

that a miraculous child is born

he murders all

infants in our neighborhood.

I escape to Egypt

with the trauma of knowing

that my existence

after conception

and again after birth

causes catastrophe.

In Egypt, singing songs on Passover,

inspired by the ancient Hebrew slaves

yearning to learn how to be free,

we have faith that we too will be

moved by life’s tragedies

to create miraculous strategies.

Unending Mending

Before I take a breath

my body and blood destroy love:

by swelling my mother Mary’s womb

I move her fiancé Joseph to divorce her.

Fortunately Joseph’s love for Mary

inspires him to hear in a dream

that a messenger from god is my father.

When Joseph and Mary marry

we move people who know us

when disconnected

to connect imaginatively.

Jail Bail

no need to punish

ourselves:

                  beloved

                    friends

                      foes

                        world

are relentless teachers

We’ll Be Family

may we discover

we love

              are loved

                               more than

                                                      we

know

              when

                         uncovered

To Be Not To Be To Be

more than physical

      spirit of all

                            creating

with

       through

                       for

                              us all

Presence Presents

embracing present

create presence

                            transforming

The Cat’s Meow

Sitting in my kitchen

after teaching philosophy

I discover the meaning of life:

we’re all like white blood cells

in the body of the universe

doing what we can to help

when we’re called

just like my father, a fireman, did

whenever there was a fire.

After this thought ends

from my rooftop I hear a meowing cry

I might have ignored another time

but since tonight answering calls

is the meaning of life

I walk onto the roof

where I see a skinny tabby.

I give it some milk.

In the morning, with my girlfriend’s help,

we pull the cat down the fire escape.

Since we are stronger than a seven pound cat

we break the cat’s many grips

on the railing

and succeed in putting the cat

on the sidewalk.

The cat immediately hides under a car.

My girlfriend says you now have a cat.

I name the cat Uni for Universe.

His name and meows sometimes remind me:

keep meowing for response;

keep responding to meows.
