From Murmured Free Verse ...

still, lyric and tattoo
haunt the lofty terraces
wind strums and syncopates cattails
whistles with the papyrus
murmurs free-verse in the reeds

Diamonds Along My Spine*

There is a world
a solar satellite
where love is as common as rain
where warmth and bliss are cultivated
upon carbon lattices
seeded from the silken friction
of skin on skin

The Tao
Cannot be defined
By thoughts, words, or concepts
But she can be embodied
Brought forth to aid in all things
At all times

Through her all things flow
Return to origin
To flow again

From Spacetime Skeletons

you might as WELL
become deeply gravitational
hold onto satellites
white-knuckle attachments

no such thing
as a rogue rock n' roll star
aloof and liberated
want to be the center of everything
make room for company

The wind and rain do not question the Tao
Nor does the sun that follows ...

Do not seed the clouds and the wind
With the heavy bluster of ego
Every storm will pass

The ego is born from thought
Comparing and labelling

It labels evil and good
So what it believes itself to be
May be called good
So what it sees as different
May be called evil

Discard what you believe
To be sage, holy, or wise
Ideals lead to judgement

Give up the desire
To appear moral or fair
Seek the center

Be industrious
Let generosity be your profit
You will meet no thieves

When the Tao is not heard
Virtue is revered

When virtue is lost
Intelligence governs

When ignorance shoves out intelligence
Authority reigns

When authority is inevitably thrown-off
Violence is king

What of ancient masters
Few are remembered

Appearances change
Personalities change
One era’s virtue
Is another’s sin

The ego knows to mimic virtue
It knows to mask sin

The Tao cannot be known through the senses

It has no one form
It has no one sound
It has no one smell

It cannot be defined by duality
It is not bright or dark
Good or evil

The mind is a wanderer
Widening and bending the Tao with thought
You need not go where thought leads

Keep firmly to the center of the path
Keep your limbs supple
Your mind open
Lead by your stride
Others will follow and pace
