* Poems To Merging, Yielding, Surrender
Folder:
Merging, Yielding WATER FORMS MERGE INTO THE FORMLESS
The dew drops from tassels of grain
and seeps into the thirsty plains
The icicles' daggers melt into pools
but the shining sea remains remains
The mist and fog arise
elsewhere away to rain
but the waving sea remains remains
The roof's drumbeat of falling rain
.. the quiet noon sun has stopped its refrain
The sea bubbles burst like all waters' forms
into the main... into the main
*main: synonym for sea
A KNOCKING ON MY HEART
The woodpecker
on the heart of the
tree goes tap tap tap
The waves to the heart
of the pier.. lap lap lap
The water onto the rock
goes drip drip drip
God on my heart knocks..
rap rap rap
ALLAH AND YHWH
Allah
All Love
Love All
Alleluia
YHWH
Oh God
May my way
through joy
be one with
Your way
LOTUS LILY STEM VACUUM
As water passes through
a lilypad stem
As wind passes through
a belltower
As music passes through
an empty flute
God's Spirit
passes through the
surrendered
(We write what we must learn. Course In Miracles: The message is always 1st for the messenger. Writer confesses she does not always care what God wants her to do.)
GRAVESTONES OF ZILLIONS
Creatures Untold
Zillions times
zillions
have died
killed by human beings
by the billions
... who knew their
names?
who knew what
each was like?
One was kind..
to all zookind
another
did rage
about his cage..
are there flags for
each one
planted like gravestones
on the bellies
of the beaus and belles
who devoured them..
God knows each name
of those murdered
by the violation of divine
law
God has mercy..
to those who change
FLOWING IN FLOWERING
Spirit river flowing
becomes the flowering
of the spring fields
which to it yield
WAVELET DEVOTEES
Wavelet devotees
come ever toward
their guru
upon the shore
NO HUNDREDTH LAMB
Not one beam of
light in God's array
has been lost or
mislaid or gone astray..
They are in Her rainbows
and His newgreening sprays.
WATER WILL
The willow's will
is the water's will
and the willow wends
his way
with water and wind.
RIVER CHANGES NAME
As the river merges
with another river
and changes her name,
does a monk join
his consciousness to
God and change his name
.. do some women
without parochial
consciousness
change their names
when wed
(some combine
names.. some keep
their maiden names)
WELL
Memory's infinite cells
drift up from
memory's wells
.. unsummoned by
any audible bell
FLOWING IN FLOWERING
Spirit river flowing
becomes the flowering
of the spring fields
which to it yield
WAVELET DEVOTEES
Wavelet devotees
come ever toward
their guru
upon the shore
WATER WILL
The willow wends
his way
with water and wind.
The willow's will
is the water's will
When I hear the whippoorwill
I stop whipping my poor will.
TEACHING FROM THE MORNING SUN
Awaken the blazing
sun in each chakra.
Its light will go forth
to mingle with the light
of other awakened suns.
SEEK YE FIRST THE KINGDOM
OF GOD AND ALL WILL BE ADDED
UNTO YOU
the caboose obediently
follows the engine
the river's train
follows her headwaters
to the sea
those who 'seek first
the kingdom of God'
find He speaks verily
PEN
When she realized God would show
her endless movies when she
meditated she was able to
achieve detachment about books
... but not yet the pen
A KNOCKING ON MY HEART
ALLAH AND YHWH
FLOWING IN FLOWERING
GRAVESTONES OF ZILLIONS
LOTUS LILY STEM VACUUM
NO HUNDREDTH LAMB
PEN
SEEK YE FIRST THE KINGDOM
OF GOD AND ALL WILL BE ADDED
UNTO YOU
WATER FORMS MERGE INTO THE FORMLESS
WATER WILL
