Before we came together, we were one.
But in my disconnect, I noticed two
And lost perception of the you in me.
I heard your voice and looked outside of me.
The loudness of the many drowned the one.
Without the inner silence, there were two.
In every life duality means two.
No different was the fighting duel in me.
In stillness I can recognize the one.
I know the one through me perceiving two.
From yesterday’s prompt at
NaPoWriMo,
a Tritina.
I have a heart
Somewhere in there,
My guarded part
That shares and cares.
Or so it would
If I let it go,
But I keep on telling
My poor heart no!
I have the passion
Of fire inside.
And I keep it rationed,
Denied desire.
O how it would blaze
If I let it go,
But I keep on telling
My poor heart no!
I have a love
That grows and flows,
Beyond and above,
Around and below.
Love is the Power
To let it all go
So I can stop telling
My poor heart no!
And I proclaim yes
To my heart and soul!
Day 7 of 30!

And on the 7th day God rested?
Really?
Does the Universe need a rest?
If I dared to have an opinion,
It is doubt.
I highly doubt
God needs a rest.
If God rests,
If the Universe rests,
Then vibration, creation, movement, evolution
Stop!
On the dime so to speak.
And knock on wood –
The Universe is still going!
So, in my very humble opinion,
God did not rest after 6 days.
He looked at all the creations,
Contemplated them,
Truly saw them, every one!
And He said:
I am there
And there
And in that thing
And over there
And here too
And everywhere!
And it is good!
Contemplation –
Knowing something,
Knowing yourself in something,
And knowing you know,
Deep and gentle,
Still and quiet,
Just knowing…
And so God knew Himself
To be in each creation
And knew one creation
To be His own likeness,
So it could contemplate itself
And God within itself.
That last creation,
That contemplative, creative creation
Is His Child of Light –
YOU!
Now,
Contemplate that!
You were not built in a day!
It’s taken your lifetime to get you this way!
You were not built in a day!
You can’t improve over night!
Sure, you get better, but still see a plight!
You can’t improve overnight!
Perfect in every way!
God knows the truth in the world he creates!
Perfect in every way!
You are a vessel of light!
Through moments and lifetimes, a Spirit so bright!
You are a vessel of light!
You were not built in a day!
But God is the potter, and you are the clay!
You were not built in a day!
Day 5 of
NaPoWriMo.
Adopted to a kind of outer space,
We soon forget the land that is our home
To be a member of the human race.
We wear a mask and cover up the face
That God creates for each one of his own –
Adopted to a kind of outer space.
How quickly we take on the pressing pace
And work to please the world of flesh and bone
To be a member of the human race.
We push away the gifts and gentle grace
For what is seen and heard and touched and known
Adopted to a kind of outer space.
We try to carve ourselves a special place,
And build a life more solid than a stone
To be a member of the human race.
Yet even though we miss the warm embrace,
The God-within proclaims we’re not alone.
Adopted to a kind of outer space,
To be a member of the human race.
A villanelle
for NaPoWriMo day 4.

NaPoWriMo entry.
Thank you!Challenge
Something to give
And good to receive.
Things to let go
And blessings to keep.
Challenge is change
But not what it seems.
Draw from the Spirit within.Something to pick
And new life to grow.
Things to transform
And colors to show.
Challenge is work
Much more than we know.
Draw from the Spirit within.Something to drop
And good to take up.
Things to pour out
To refill this cup.
Challenge is flowing
So don’t hold it up!
Draw from the Spirit within.
…………….In every………..
……………challenge………..
………there is a lesson………
……………..to learn………..
……….and a blessing……..
…………….to keep……………

The worldwide web is wonderful!
It reaches round the earth
And disconnects the families
We’re given to at birth.
The worldwide web is precious!
It’s full of love and peace
‘Cause the grass is always greener
Where we don’t live and breathe.
The worldwide web is warming!
It comforts and it heals
Through blessed commiseration
For all of life’s ordeals.
The worldwide web is real!
The people say it’s so.
We plant the seeds together
So our agenda grows.
The worldwide web is wonderful!
A tool we can direct,
So may we cut the threads that bind
The web of disconnect!
Unprompted poem for
NaPoWriMo.
Intelligent Lifeforce, Essence, Creator, Source
All Cosmic Conscious
Divine, Eternal, Infinite – Within Us!
—
Somewhat like
Haiku,
a “lune” is a poetic form with 3 lines. This variant is 3-5-3 words, rather than syllables.
Unless you’re writing one, these are best read and used in meditation or contemplation, and not analyzed! 😮
From the daily prompt for
NaPoWriMo!
I know Life is living
Beyond what I see
And Being is being
Itself within me.
So freeing the freedom
Of all that I Am,
My heartbeat is heartened
With Spirit in hand.
For true gifts are given
To one and to all.
The king of all kingdoms
In greatest and small.
The beautiful beauty
Of peace, hope, and love;
The mind that is mindful
Of goodness above.
And seeing is seeing
One picture of life.
Yet Being is being,
No matter the strife.
And love always loving
Despite every care.
No limits can limit
The Lifeforce we share!
The Real I have realized,
This Truth is for me.
My thanks cannot thank You
For letting me be.
Yet living is living
As long as I might;
Your gifts I am giving
To carry Your Light!
I know Life is living
Beyond what I see
And Being is being
Itself within me.
So freeing the freedom
Of all that I Am,
My heartbeat is heartened
With Spirit in hand.
–And so it is!

This poem is based on my experiences writing songs on ukulele. But it applies to all of life! Things tend to go better when we let the Universe or God micromanage them, rather than trying to go it “alone.”
4 strings and a bundle of nerves
2 hands and a couple of curves
fingers flying and taking a swerve
All for the music inside!
3 chords and the timing is wrong
Strumming, picking, is that a song?
Play it, sing it, move along
All for the music inside!
4 strings and a barrel of fun
Worry and hurry are over and done
The singing and playing in Spirit is One
All for the music inside!
