Short Poems

 

 

The Tibetan monk lay weak on his deathbed. Numberless times his servant the Wind turned his prayer wheel.


To the candle the flame gives entire yet never diminished is his own fire.

 
The sun craves no limelight as he grows limes in his light.
*

Evernew rays arrive from the eternal-seeming sun as new pinecones drop from ancient redwoods
*
Sun's igniting sparks sparkle the sea.


The vanishing might of the forces of night melts away in dawn's vanquishing light.


The sun's allgiving gold cheer.. has become the allgiving tree's purple cherries.
*
Unrolling across the sea the sun's welcoming red carpet.
*
It is not the sweet nuthatch
but the sun
which hatches the nuts
of nut trees everyone      9
*
The sun thought about another's criticism that he lacked focus.. but
then began again to shine in all directions


Out of the sea the sun aborning with his awesome light of

morning, not adorned but all adorning, says to all "Come my Mavoorning".


The sun never withholds his rays from rejecting mudclods.


Moondown is sunup
*
Night can no longer suborn first light's gathering morn
*
Sun diamonds stipple the sea's wind ripples.


The sun wears no dark glasses. He has nothing to hide
and is not threatened by his own light.
*

Oh womanizer or manizer most polygamous... try as you might
  you won't be milligamous
*
Some prefer the greenwoods fringed sky... some prefer
the sky of the sea, unframed    18

Is all accusation projection of inner guilt?
*
As morning tops each grass spire with a globe of dew
so little acts of kindness are by God made magic wands of
   great power
*
River carved Grand Canyon..
*
Oh tree of pine, your branches are wider on the bottom,
but you are cone crowned.
*
Beach footprints by tidewater erased. Snow footprints
by the sun melted away. So does God forgive all transgressions.
*
Sunrise is apple fall
*
When his moon wed her sun and his sun wed her moon
skies poured forth for lifefaithful loons
Love's manylived monsoon
*

Oh please  dear Mr. Pinkus with your dawning
rays..please pink us
*
The sun does not kill and tell.. but who can hide peachtree's new fruit
in the dell?    27
*

With soundless tapping
the horizontal baton rouge
of dawn light
called forth a chorus
of bird delight


The moon has dominion over the sea, he thought, watching as her unveiled
full rays caused the highest tides. But at dawn he
saw the sun lift the waters much higher with his elevating
evaporating fire

*


Oer a traffic light of green and red, a birdie flies diagonally
*
Not the will's resistance to surrender to God, but the Spirit's desire to flow into Love, as a stream merges with a river and the river with the sea
*
The bee does not fly with honey on his wings.. matter is irrelevant where the spirit rings
*
All matter can become energy. All young souls can become self realized masters.
*
To fight human killers the hippos formed
an hippocracy and the propaganda of trophy hunter hypocrisy.

Legal statutes are frozen statues..


not the liquid law of love
*
Birds don't worry about jaywalking.. as they go jayflying    36

 

Arrayed against all
the darkest night
With all the arms
and secrets and might
comes a rippling ribbon
of dawning slight..
an omnipotent band
of dawning light   37

footnote:

Jaywalking is to the family and friends of Jay Dinshah Liquid Love is to J Mosyjowski.. nonviolent in every area of life

in 360 cubed ways. He is focused on one point, but his energy
transforms..all points.

Dawn drawn dandelions sun-summoned... spread gold parasols
... another sundown will bring.. a diaspora of dandelion down

*13*
From all eyes shines God's light... from every human, bird, fish and mite

The mind of a genius is a sky piled high with lightning
forked thunderclouds. The desireless mind of a master is blue with nary

into the jewel of Jupiter, meditation gives tangible
proximity to God who indwells all

*21*
He feared when he died he would slide to hell
down a slippery funnel but God told him he'd rise
to him... through a lightfilled tunnel

*22*
the bees' buzzing omkar to blooming little stars

*23*
One thought Britannia once ruled the waves. Another thought: India rules the quiet depths.

*24*
Into the chasm of your desire God pours His divinity fire
... assumes His liquid gold the form of your wish mold

*25*
True followers of Jesus the pacifist
can bloom to fullblown rose..
     a white bud fist

The lotus stem wick bursts into flower as the meditater's
spine explodes in the crown chakra's 1000 petals.

In the ocean's calm depths he swallows
the thought waves he creates in the shallows.

the hellshell and made fluid the

Young souls love beauty. Older souls worship the beauty of love.
*
*41*
The private train car had smoke and mirrors, reflecting
candles'' flames, as the mirror lake beneath  the morning
mist reflected the sun on the horizon

*42*
Stationery the stained glass windows of a church,
but the iridescent windows in the butterfly's wings
are light in flight   80 plus 42   122
