RE: Poetry - alchemikey - 12-07-2012
a paradigm of unity is gently emerging
timelines are conveniently converging
our collective shadow we keep purging
as the love in our hearts goes on urging
clear away, make room for lights upsurging
into our passions we are now immerging
from the path of separation we're diverging
we are not here to stand out but for merging
into a society full of holistic variety
gods and goddesses and gaiety
our essential nature is pure deity
we are evolving swiftly yet quietly
full of faith's fuel and empty of anxiety
the power of our will we know is mighty
we will not abuse this strength even slightly
we're creating a world where bliss is in nimiety

Lovely lovely poem, alchemikey. Simply superb! Thank you for offering such beautiful poetry. Great work
RE: Poetry - alchemikey - 12-09-2012
you were called to this planet
crying out in sorrow
you wanted to create
a better tomorrow
that's why you took birth
to help heal the earth
you thought that just maybe
you could add some mirth

Once again, this poem, it evoked a deep stirring sensation in the heart. Thank you

thank you for the feedback...much love
by dancing in circles
we laugh out in joy
celebrating life
is the tool we employ
reflecting each other
soul sister...soul brother
we have but one goal
to help serve our mother

my heart weeps a river of tears
for that is how the outdated clears
as love replaces released fears
all for the upcoming golden years
as we find our clans and join our tribes
a cheerful community who's light we imbibe
blessing each other with comforting vibes
our sharing is a medicine quite hard to describe
RE: Poetry - alchemikey - 12-11-2012
this may be a hard pill to swallow
but there are only two paths to follow
the path of manipulation and separation
or the path of compassion and unification
you can either relapse into forgetfulness
or you can spiral upwards into remembrance
the gap between self and seemingly other is a trap
in every interaction you either widen or close the gap
appreciation is a map that guides one out of the maze
be truly grateful and you'll feel your heart become ablaze
when you can see god winking in everyone's eyes
then you have become adept at dispelling the lies
for wherever you look it is always god looking back
if you wish to ascend valuing all life's the fast track
it is our mutual presence that we all have to share
the unchanging truth breathes each breath as a prayer
RE: Poetry - Confused - 12-11-2012
Such lovely poetry inspired by the LOO! Thank you, alchemikey. I am enjoying all that you write, because it summarizes the philosophy of the LOO so very beautifully. Sorry for the inconvenience of regular feedback....lol. Will keep quiet, now
RE: Poetry - alchemikey - 12-12-2012
feel free to give feedback...i appreciate all you have shared...inspires me to write more...happy 12~12~12 
if you seek to close the gap
all you need do is but smile
walk around the world
as if joy is in style
if you seek to close the gap
then get people singing
music has the power
to get hearts a' ringing
if you seek to close the gap
practice perceiving presence
not behavior nor appearance
connect deeper to the essence
if you seek to close the gap
then lay words to the side
enter into the silence
where viewpoints become wide

in my heart
in my heart , i take all the pain and suffering of sandy hook .
of the parents who did and didnt lose children
and the children who were murdered and who survived .
in my heart
i take the agony of the murderer and his mother and family
and hold them there, may they find peace .
in my heart i take evil and good,
god and lucifer,
suffering , pain , joy and hope and hold it there.
i breathe it in all the suffering and joy of this world
there into my heart and sit quietly with it
i breathe in god and not god
satan and not satan
good and evil
every polarity i take into my heart
i breathe it in, absorb it , become one with it
and release it again into this world
i can no longer pick and chose
for everything lives in my heart
and which of these my children should i choose to love
norral
basically what i am saying here is that the mindset of opposition can never ever be totally satisfying. eventually at some point in our evolution we must surrender. each one at their own pace. so there is nothing that cannot be viewed not so much with what i would call love, for i dont love evil or suffering , but with acceptance.

ahhh...the much anticipated dawning of the 6th sun
where we will no longer just believe but truly live the Law of One
where harmony will be upheld foremost in all of our relations
where mother earth is tenderly loved in ceremony and celebrations
where we work with the elementals and call on the four directions for showers
where balance is kept as the divine masculine and divine feminine combine their powers
where we all become as children playing with the faeries and plant spirit divas
where we know god/goddess as our presence, not some being that could leave us
...here's my hand - haqiqu - 12-20-2012
…here’s my hand
a ghazal for the year’s turn
sometimes watch your thoughts: leaves floating by on a stream
other times, hunt your thoughts down, be a predator
the witness knows which thoughts pass, which to devour
in winter earth’s summer colors fly into sky
a fleet sunset blooming, light cultivating cloud
gold, purple, red—our color-hungry eyes are fed
young moon brighter and brighter in deepening dusk
the slim curve brimming with night, someone bear witness:
three small birds swoop down to drink the moon’s reflection
a dust mote in god’s light, call it a galaxy,
a universe, call it me, how else would god see?
whirl on tiny one, small world, trust immensity
silent as sunlight, in this timeless way I move
whose hands hold the strings that pull the tides, rock my bones?
my feet are wind in the grass, watch me disappear
beloved friends, the world ends again and again
with each death, each year, each turn of an ancient wheel
beginning takes fierce courage, wild faith, here’s my hand.
Elizabeth Cunningham (and Maeve)
RE: Poetry - norral - 12-22-2012
love one another
this is a story of two little boys
who lived together and shared their toys
yes i know that they are brothers
and their story is love one another
one was 6 and one was three
they are both part of the family tree
they slept together and shared their lives
children of our son and his loving wife
so one morning i happened to see
how the six treated the three
come on aj well brush our teeth
start on top and move beneath
heres the toothpaste
give me your brush
lets go aj were in a rush
u can do it ill help u bro
love one another yes u know
so as i watched with a lighted heart
they showed me how to play my part
in little things to show i care
that i learned from this little pair
so love one another is alive and well
and yes i feel its really swell
the little ones show us the way
let us just love one another so well today

All that is gold does not glitter, not all those who wander are lost. The old that is strong does not wither, deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, a light from the shadows shall spring. Renewed shall be blade that was broken, the crownless again shall be king. - J.R.R. Tolkien
RE: Poetry - norral - 12-28-2012
planet of limitation
trapped here on this planet of limitation
where flattery is the sincerest form of imitation.
love and kindness , hey get out of my face
are u kidding we are the human race
grasp and take more than we could ever use
always wanting to win, never able to lose
its all become a big competition
space from earth brother - time to abort this mission
back to the realms from where i came
where caring and tenderness is the game
vulnerability i believe is the key
on this plane if u want to be free
so i walk around without my shield
stuck full of arrows, i wont yield
just have to be me
and hope , and hope , that others will see
and understand
norral
meerie i can really relate to what u posted.
when o when o god, o dog, will the powerless gain their power
and have their day in the sun
RE: Poetry - alchemikey - 12-28-2012
the essence of the moment is forgiveness
forever we are given this freshness
purer than the whitest snowflake
now knows nothing but rebirth
pregnant with poignant possibility
it is all but a matter of choice
the burden of responsibility
or is that a blessing?
RE: Poetry - alchemikey - 12-31-2012
i got nothing left to do
in this world but smile
to reconcile duality
sure does take awhile
but now i've got this time
freeing up my mind
if your eyes do not see beauty
you might as well be blind
for everything's the same
when you step outside the game
neither running from the night
nor blinking at the light
that which you are looking for
is what your looking with
what's echoed back to you my friend
is determined by what you give
if you want to see the promised land
then lend a helping hand
dig down to your roots
to where there is no shifting sand
for everything's the same
when you step outside the game
neither running from the night
nor blinking at the light
RE: Poetry - Cyan - 12-31-2012
To unify is to signify.
To be is to dignify.
To do is to satisfy.
To let go is to ratify.
RE: Poetry - Praxis - 01-01-2013
anywhere is the depths of your soul.
the birthright of truth shrouded in night.
for light of lights is your only truth, barriers of darkness chaos insight.
angelic in soul is your wave length, a connection to the higher self in the fire of your heart.
never will it leave your side, richly encircled in your path back towards awareness as your cosmic birthright.
ascending on your path to heights of self lay dormant to mind.
break free and the light you will see.
RE: Poetry - alchemikey - 01-08-2013
i don't want to live inside my head no more
i just want to leap into the sky and soar
i don't want to live inside my head no more
i just want to dive into my heart's central core
and there i wish to stay so don't bother knocking
the essence of pure being is where i'll be docking
thoughts cannot arise if they have nowhere to root
from the soul's perspective this whole life's an offshoot
RE: Poetry - alchemikey - 01-10-2013
what are you focused on?
to what are you bringing your attention?
your attention is YOUR attention
it is all that you truly possess
no one has more and no one has less
we are all equals in the ability to bless
so say yes to life...whatever it delivers
each moment of life is an open invitation
to re-discover that which is already whole
RE: Poetry - Cyan - 01-10-2013
Spirits of air
Spirits of ground
Spirits of fire
Spirits of water
I call on all of you to come and testify
I am free, I stand here free of all
Key in hand, love in heart, path behind, path ahead
Witness a new man born of the fire of old
The long, the tall
The stout, the short
Come one come all
Testify a man being born
I touch you ground awaken and see
I touch you air and bear witness to me
I touch you fire alight what you see
I touch you water set in motion me
I see you all
I ask you all
See me here
Sitting
Spirits of ground
Spirits of fire
Spirits of water
I call on all of you to come and testify
I am free, I stand here free of all
Key in hand, love in heart, path behind, path ahead
Witness a new man born of the fire of old
The long, the tall
The stout, the short
Come one come all
Testify a man being born
I touch you ground awaken and see
I touch you air and bear witness to me
I touch you fire alight what you see
I touch you water set in motion me
I see you all
I ask you all
See me here
Sitting
Closing poem from my book.
I considered concluding it like this but even my super inflated god complex couldnt take this ending in addition to the previous one:
....Sitting near
The kingdom come is near
It is always here
Inside you I hear
So I’ve come here
I evoke you spirits of fire
Spread what you hear far and near
I evoke you spirits of wind
Carry my words for all to hear
I evoke you spirits of ground
Support all the people filled with fear
I evoke you spirits of water
Sustain those who have nothing to wear
-Go In Peace-
The kingdom come is near
It is always here

So I’ve come here
I evoke you spirits of fire
Spread what you hear far and near
I evoke you spirits of wind
Carry my words for all to hear
I evoke you spirits of ground
Support all the people filled with fear
I evoke you spirits of water
Sustain those who have nothing to wear
-Go In Peace-
RE: Poetry - alchemikey - 01-12-2013
remember that silence comes first
out of which thoughts then burst
discover for what you do thirst
in love one is always immersed
enlighten yourself from the past
don't focus on what does not last
illuminate all that's been cast
in oneness there is no contrast
RE: Poetry - Cyan - 01-12-2013
Poems are
The best thing
Since someone opened up
The place near
And far.
No postmortems, please - haqiqu - 01-15-2013
No postmortems, please
No postmortems, please.
The world is immortal.
The world renews itself.
What about poems and songs --
Do they perish?
Maybe they only
Vanish awhile.
Maybe they go underground
To gather some other
Knowledge and come back
In another form:
New words, a new melody,
Yet somehow
The same beloved,
Singing the same song.
~ Gregory Orr ~
(Concerning the Book that is the Body of the Beloved)

Doth the raven, nevermore, in childhood, I saw the raven.
Doth the raven, nevermore, in adolescence, I talked with the raven.
Doth the raven, nevermore, in adulthood, I died with the raven.
Doth the raven, forevermore, in senescence, I shall doth, nevermore.

may all that is empty be filled
may all that is seeking be stilled
come to rest as this moment now
truly be at home and experience the wow
drop all the labels and see the wonder as a child
does the ocean control the waves or let them be wild?
the ocean is not threatened no matter how strong the wave
nothing outside can give you the cosmic security you crave
RE: Poetry - alchemikey - 01-24-2013
a thought can be nice
and a thought can be mean
but underneath them both
the screen remains pristine
a feeling can give joy
and a feeling can give grief
but containing them both
the silence gives relief
opposites always arise together
"i" creates "you"..."you" creates "i"
if you don't want to suffer
embrace both and don't deny
i am as negative as i am positive
the ying in me completes the yang
to be whole includes the entire gamut
destructive black hole...creative big bang
