Something

Water
empty clear flowing
natural state of mind
ever changing present moment
flowing

Wednesday 20 September 2017

On the seashore...

Complex
so many thoughts
breathing in breathing out
resolving the conflict within
simple

simple
follow the breath
calmness and peace ensue
water the seeds of compassion
gently

gently
bring the mind back
doing nothing let go
living in the present moment
grateful

greatful
simply being
in this joyful moment
nowhere to go nothing to do
breathing

breathing
being content
letting go of anger
knowing there's only this moment
deep peace

Complex
follow the breath
doing nothing let go
nowhere to go nothing to do
deep peace.

Allotment's Autumn

Sitting
in the garden
death is all around me
bursting with life every moment
timeless

Sunshine
breathe in and out
you can do a little
you can rest in the life giving
moment

Birdsong
gentle echo
listen my soul in peace
whispering of the universe
come home

Humming
late summer bees
searching for some pollen
calling me mindfully back home
centred

Breezes
flowing of air
playing with everything
making leaves dance and sing for joy
gently

Sitting
breathe in and out
listen my soul in peace
calling me mindfully back home
gently

Sometimes
all the time
it is possible to see
something of the world
beyond the senses
the seeing eye
that you dream with
sees the world as it really is
endless cycles are at rest
constantly changing
silent echoes
amid the quiet colours
weaving tapestries
of meaning before the eyes

(untitled)

summer
burned itself out
remember her fondly
leaving the ash of fallen leaves
footprints

Friday

cloudy
seasons changing
knowing that I belong
day holds many things of wonder
simple

September

no rules
what makes me real
until the tide comes in
re-membering the way it was
morning
