RIVER FOLLOWS



The Grace rain follows

dry river bed hollows

Soon are new shallows

.. then deeps do all hallow





HIS ROYAL LOWNESS



She preferred

His Royal Lowness

the Sea

to their Royal Highnesses

the mountain peaks..



for each of them

is lonely at their

pointed peaks



Neptune gives equality

to all drops

as he simultaneously

gives to the sun

and from the rivers

receives



into his allpowerful

begging bowl.



LYING IN WAIT



For all rivers

The sea is lying

in wait.

She is lying in

total humility..

flashing on her surface

sun has made

10 trillion lilies.

Omnipotent

is her low state.



ST VINCENT CLOCKTOWER

AT 6:30



St Vincent clocktower

at 6:30 .. dripping in the

rain

drip drip drip its refrain



and her first interpretation

was that all numbers

are holy .. including 6 6 6

(if one included the second hand)



the second was

that God passes the most

power through

the humblest hands

not those that point

to the topmost hour



(part of a poem to John P Wilson)



DONKEYS RECITE VERSE



Scripture says God can

make a donkey recite

scripture.

Perhaps the donkey

is chosen because

of his humility.



ICEBERGS IN THE SEA



We who are not masters..

we are icebergs

within the Sea of Spirit..

the ice our matrix of desires..

.. a prism..

as our desires drop off one

by one in this life or that

.. we become more translucent

.. our prisms change and

radiate more

of the sun's magnificence

.. until .. it is coming

for us all.. some day

we will have no more desire

.. and we will sink into

the Sea of God
