The Crooked Man

A crooked man walked a crooked road on broken crutch & cane
With wandering wobble he went awry in relentless wretched pain.

And on his road he chanced to meet one lost upon his way
So when he turned to pass him by, he heard this blind man say,

“I see you stumble with a stick & broken branch of tree,
So let me offer you an arm & you in turn, an eye, lend me”

So a pact was made by each that day, to share & share alike,
Each would give what each could give, to ease the others plight.

And as they traveled down life’s road, they found it now went straight;
The twists & turns; holes, rocks & roots, seemed now so few of late.

And at the close of journey’s day, one would say t’other,
“’Though only-born I am, now I find, in truth, I have a brother.”

isn't it bizarre?
that we in fact are

doesn't it make you wonder?
how silence could imagine thunder?

how the white light burst asunder?
so the rainbow we could sit under

oh how i find it so peculiar
rooted between past and future

Yo, I challenge you
to write a better haiku
than this one right here.

i'll bite on that bait
i doubt this will be better
i gave it a try

---

give your heart to the moment
don't hold back your offering
'cause right now is your chance

to feel a feeling is a blessed gift
each time we share depths of emotion
salty tears stream from the ocean

the tumbling of waves as they roll
surrendering's the secret
accept what you can't control

life it just keeps happening
we're all here for one purpose
the building of community

opening to receive a heart transmission
bridges being built to ease the transition

fading away are the old ways of competition
cooperation is rising to it's lofty position

together is how we will we make it through
one earth tribe family creating the world anew

roots of visionaries holding to what is true
hope guides us home while love binds as glue

forever discerning the truth from the fallacy
i'm in a relationship with reality

the continuous coupling of time and space
one runs away while the other does chase

married to this moment of intersection
where the infinite manifests all perception

engaged to the mystery from which i spring
buzzed on the love of a honey bee sting

a society that values conformity
i will never know of such normalcy

i will happily color outside of the lines
i will think outside of the boxes' confines

i'm glad to be different and a bit weird
our individual quirks are to be revered

i will offer a flavor that's never been tasted
i will live fully...not one moment wasted

synchroniciity in simplicity and timing




Strength in my stronghold
elevated I am brave i am bold
setting fire to the brink my thoughts are the lint,
free stonemasons flint costs nothing to be skint
skinned and fleeced of all my fears and my itches washed away dirty dishes
and the stakes might be high,, but that don't make us witches ,
we are your brothers and we are your sisters
we are the uniting light that burns bright on us all but never blisters,
You can tell us apart cause your light barely even flickers


Give birth from your ashes as it flashes and sparks
and let the light flow through your head and heart

Yellow brick road is where you start ,
its the road less travelled that takes you far
over the rainbow and way up high ,
to my silver lining to my silver guy
lions and tigers and bears oh my
he hides his heart and tells you he's shy
but you give yours away with a twinkle of an eye
and tell him not to cross your heart and hope you wont die
and his will beat steady and true when he's ready
but don't let him down and then wonder why
his silver turns cold its all or nothing with this guy
revenge best served cold with a sting
and an eye for an eye.




red with shame your shoes say the same
letting go hurts the most
when you know your to blame,

hellos are all ways bright and breezy
goodbyes don't flow of the tongue quite so easy
admitting to missing him most of all ,
I hope hell miss me and not think i'im a fool



cause your capacity to love is deeper than any ocean
while this guy now seems cruel calculating and devoid of any real emotion

so you click you heels three times together
you say there's no place like home
when your needing comfort and shelter
every day is a new day
and not all have stormy weather
and once your back home
you'll soon start feeling better










what you seek is never given or sold, learn to learn wisdom and accept what cant be changed open yourself up to life's surprises fools fall Alchemical Gold Rises.

i have a dream
that makes me feel good

burn palo santo
morning holy wood

following my dream
i feel terrific

my dream is my dream
with plans specific

i have a dream to build a torus
i have a dream to live in the forest
i have a dream to become like horus
i have a dream song and this is the chorus

NATURE IS THE ONE CREATOR

Uncanny thunder strikes again
and I am left with a big grin.
Nature bears witness to it all,
to every last thing, great and small.

know the silence
from which all springs

there is but one source
to the ten thousand things

plumb the quietness
abide in the tranquility

with a single pointed mind
discover your creative ability

know what you seek
peeking into the dark abyss

if the Creator's plan is perfect
than nothing can be amiss

anchor firmly to love
it will keep you centered

desire nothing but the truth
to the mystery be surrendered

facilitating dance through free expression
love keeps growing as 'my' attachments lessen

jumping on lily pads there's no time to wait
now holds the power to what we create

here's a kick in the butt to get things moving
no more excuses...live lucid...stop snoozing

this itch i've been feeling has helped to reveal
that i'm ready to make this dream turn real

to the evolution of spirit i am fully committed
in this world of opposites nothing's to be omitted

even those pesky mosquitos have intrinsic value
for each of their experiences to the Creator is new

adding another pigment to the palette of diversity
can you see them as life instead of as an adversary?

they test our patience and vows of non-violence
underlying that buzzing we all share the same silence

there is a dream of earth
that is dreamt by the sun

in this dream all of us children
know that we are one

we are dancing like the fire
we are having tons of fun

in this dream all of us children
know that we are one

eyes of love
look out into the world
and see no thing
but love reflecting back

each creature
a living masterpiece
never to be duplicated
perfect in every way

each blade of grass
worthy of attention
each tiny pebble
a glory to behold

flowers burst with color
trees slowly stretch
while the air connects
to what cannot be seen

how are we not
forever in awe?
what will it take
to drop down one's jaw?

it is all so majestic
it brings me to tears
you can watch me cry
it brings up no fears

i have no image to uphold
about a man appearing macho
my skin enjoys the rain
no umbrella nor poncho

releasing feels good
having no emotion dammed/damned
water wants to flow
freely without commands

can you feel the heart?
of earth mama gaia
coming alive
through us

she is awakening
she is growing stronger
she has chosen
to not wait a moment longer

the fire of consciousness is never snuffed out
that we are eternal beings is beyond any doubt

this human animal body that carries us around
it is not our true nature...don't let it confound

we existed before the idea of time and space
we're inextricably linked to an intelligent grace

a transition to larger life is the doorway of death
the best way to prepare is to love every breath

when one lives in a perfectly harmonious environment
one often loses the impetus to continue to grow

for when nothing knocks one off from their center
the motivation for spiritual evolution does slow

so be thankful for challenging surroundings
and for people that rub you the wrong way

pearls aren't created without some irritation
perhaps that's the role those relationships play

this is where i reside
the abode of the absolute

the innermost inside
as love i remain resolute

this home is a glorious ocean
containing all thought waves

replenished by rivers of emotion
forgive a child that misbehaves

into this heart i forever plummet
the event horizon crossed

seeking the spiritual summit
where ego identity is lost

like quicksand pulling me under
i accept this path of returning

what's left of me is pure wonder
transmuted by years of yearning

re-discover the lover of life
losing this is what brings strife

there is no reason to demolish
the mind simply needs a polish

use the ever present cloth of "i am"
this practice helps to pass any exam

stay put firmly by growing deep roots
from the unmoved center creation fruits

"it is the simple that is certain
not the complicated"

now look behind the curtain
on 'i am' be concentrated

what is easy can be trusted
that which is always available

once the viewpoint is adjusted
one becomes unassailable

dig deep into that of yours
find out from where the water pours

take a break from the hustle and grind
establish yourself in beginner's mind

where existence glistens like dew
every scene is seen as if brand new

in awe with all of life's intricate details
through any difficulty...love prevails
