Song Through Songs

love and fun

in shade and sun

and health and wealth

to our dear ones

       and everyone

Smooze Unalarmed

all I’ve tried to be

snooze for now

allowing to be

un-trying me

Earth With Sky Grace Embrace

may we co-create blessings

night and day

through all we do, feel, think, say

Meow Wow

kittens we are

purring words caressing skin

dance us to be furred stars

Listen Mission

feelings

             thoughts

                           events

we hate

invite us to co-create better states

Springing Singing

may friends mending wounds

exhume tomb--

                       wombing 

                                        blooming us

through doom

                       illumed

Messiahs Required

while poor, ill, imprisoned, enemies, loved

become our selves

we’ve won one

may we now free from life’s crosses

rejoicing selves 

reviving to thrive

Pray To Play

may we be awed through cores

breathing us in

birth mirth exhaling

selves soaring

Cross Fertilizing

may we forgive

                       not knowing what we do

turn hate to love

birth tough love

Abstinence In The Desert

no solid food

reveal through moods

all wind I breathe

dances in me

nourishing cells

guiding me well

I’d like to fly

even if I die

by gliding in

a guiding wind

but I’m a man

who walks on sand                            

tempted to scream

free from this dream:

“stones please be bread

or I’ll be dead,”

I chant, “God’s love

infuse our food.”

I pray my greed

is fuel that seeds

desires to free

humanity

with loving care

we breathe through air

divinity

please help us feel

we are all one

is truly real

while we adore

who’s near our doors 

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 with 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 with sky

re-birth whene’er 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 our new family

by breathing in sacred air

a parent who always cares.
