True Dew

doing what we’re moved

to do 

         let’s merge with urging

emerging

                anew

Regulating For Congregating

from absolute zero

radiates endless glow

warming through cold I know

allowing me to grow

indifferent

or passionate

compassionate

or pay the rent 

Everything Happens For A Reason

Everything Happens For A Reason

Most of us listening keep our eyes closed

while one of my students in prison

is reading a story written by a boy who goes blind.

The boy discovers a light inside

that feels joyful except when he's afraid.

When I look for my light within

it feels harsh.

After class is over my student says,

 “You fell asleep while I was reading.”

While I protest, “No way,”

light in her eyes plays with mine.

Birds Heard

 while not being

                            them 

feelings

               thoughts

                              dreams

                                             

 teach

           free

                   us

while meditating

Knock Knocked

may your hard

                         soft knocks

not me

            hold me back

                                  till I’m

free

       to flow

                    with thee

No Need To Fight To Feel All Right

                         

owning organs songs

inside

           out

                   minds

                              align

                                          without

drama from trauma
