Herald Heard The Heark

Teachers & Gurus

After many many ages

hearld heard his heark

Afer eons his own song

listened to the lark

Finally learned the teaching

of his own emphatic preaching..

Words from his own mouth

to his own soul did arc.

Not what was to him

obvious or unknown he taught

but what was them betwixt

His own soul's limit

touchstones

Ideas which him transfixed.

What we ourselves should do

we project to them and teach

not what's within our grasp

but our aspiring reach.

Our whistles are what

we've attained

Our sung notes higher still

out of whistles' range

Past life butchers

are 21st Century activists.

Prussian warriors

are 21st Century pacifists.

Mental patients.. some

are saints..

others were timeclocking

gatelocking

electroshocking

psychiatrists.

Present dharma's past karma.

It's the key to our own hearts

which our eyes magnetize.



IN PATIENT GUISE



Angels sent

the therapist

a teacher

in patient guise

to bypass his ego



BEYOND



Beyond the

holiest of sleuths

Beyond the soothsayer

.. the sayer of sooth

Beyond all veils

and clouds dwells

God as Love

God as Truth



SILENT TEACHER



he and the sun do not preach

he and the river do not teach

sacred silent loving acts

are their only speech
