Fire inspired fungi
on the trunk of a cedar burned
but not ash
and the trail takes us higher

Intuitively zooming this mushrooming
tattooing of a high mountain tree
roots
for the climbing mind to branch into
a better being

There are two sides to the same experience
and they are in…separable
one in front of you one in back of you
and the
present
neither one is all there is to you

Couples creation and the making of wo…man
a becoming from invisible to visible to indivisible
life performs in light and the afterlife back lights
the moving meaning
of the evolving living leaving
giving back ground to what comes round
the conductivity connecting
you

Imagination
Painted Ladies make that
migration
made passing through the cocoon living through anewed
consciousness
takes flight nectar of life is knowing our life
wills
a light

Moth in the night butterflies day flowers delight
if we bloom we bring beauty through
even the tiniest crack in materialist facts
a quantum fluttering fuel to continue influencing

Serendipitous is a trip in us
a synchronicity that lives in us
a special gift that gives to us
a lift that arrives as a grace to decide

A place to go a scene to see
a place…meant for us to perceive
the greater design a re-find-meant
to remember why we wander into
wonderment
an arrangement with a vibratory intent
sent
from a become one for a sense

From the first breath from your first look up
from your first steps every turn those twists
the churning tears the rising switchbacks the stirring mountain highs
the valleys lived the streams of consciousness
the shoring up the rivers down the riding waves of rapids dreams
the timbre of the voices heard and the echoes reassure

the howl
of canyon creeks thoughts received ford relief
in the always there the inner metaphysics
the arc in the texture of the crossing beams
the other day the other way the other side

He took up the guitar to be around his violin
the strings of things that tie
he improved and he could sing and they began to play
a couple and then a bass
a trio then a band and a violin that couldn’t sing
so another bow figured in then a mandolin
drums a banjo and so it goes
then some bars then some clubs

and what began as a couple became a group
and the first violin took a seat
at rehearsals loosening the tie was the wait
the listening turned to thinking what had begun
to bring the fingers closer to the rings on their hands
in bands of peace and love

Panacea for a Pandemic
SARS too SARS COV-2
bats man and eating animals
the virus of us blood letting from a wet market
seen

A consciousness shot heard round the new global reality
begins to see Chardin’s “Noosphere”
not the man made Anthropocene but a means to an
interconnected one
not just to one species but one with all thee’s
birds bees the tallest trees streams the living truth
the heard immunity
“Thou shalt not kill”


Heard the Rattlesnakes last evening full of life
coiled fates entangled states
heard the rattlesnakes that lasting sound you don’t forget
if you don’t listen it’s that sound that bites

Driving home that night the rocky peaks
the sun about to set
in the road up ahead I said
rattlesnake
the brakes were dead the steering wheeled
the spin I took
I looked around

Stick figure beneath
the Poet Tree
branches off infinity fall to earth first
from above the matter below

behold
the fire and the cold
the river the stream the creek
the crack in the facts
that allow for thee to reach

Calabasas what does it tell us
foggy morning helicopter parent on his way to coach
driven parents’ children
crashed in the Santa Monica Mountains
harmonicas in harmony
to
sadness

One of nine was a man of fame and following
an overflowing streaming
of memories memorabilia ability and memorials
adulations and idolatry
the hall the call of fame but what of the dam
the watershed the tears of her the fears of his
the fall from grace the rape case at stake life in prison
Kobe for sexual assault and false imprisonment
rape is not adultery

Comet
picture us in a wisp of reality
traveling through a cosmic trip
bubbling life bursting through atmospheres
spheres of influence
expanding through our consciousness
let there be light so in the dark
night

backdrops lift us up towards a higher peek
seek that which that stirs
what makes you into a silhouette
a cast surrounded by ups and downs
that coming around

Overthinking if it brings you into depth
where deeper thoughts prevail
then what caught you releases you…
prosper

If the thinking is a sinking that ends
at the bottom its means
is a way…ward believing a deceiving
that delivers with greater and greater
odds that overcoming overthinking
is an evening of destruction a morning
awakening that has taken away
another day into another night
switchless
overnight over and over turns you over…
to thoughts that leave you alone

Tribu…taries we
driftwood from the sea
we walk the shore of
evermore
to see

Ashore the gale force winds
the storm the sails the waves
the frequency of winding trails bring us
to aware

Backpack on the hill…sides all around him
views the steep climbs down and up
through this life the hike continues
the vision here improves our insights
the walking stick figures that heard
his hymn

Sing in the wind tumbleweeds and we
relatives of the same scene
knowingly carry on the further see
gathering above this home
sun

Visitation restoration
of what was becomes
memories memorials rememberings
the vitality of creating those
bringing these to a revival

The arrival
the furthering friendships
the ports of call recalling
the echoing songs
souls sailing hearing heard voices
bringing life lives lived

Thanks living in the breath
the vast expanse to grasp
the all and beyond the love it takes
to walk within and beneath
the heavens great the days and ways

Be absolute in finding the defining
resolution
Truth
shunning the excuses of which, … which in you is un…
becoming

The snow job isn’t in the mountains
the avalanche is being in the trance peaking in the darkness
of
absolutism

Solve
the equation of who and the you
becomes
the one within … the One
the cosmic geometry without measurements
divisions
be the vision…ary you envision

Its the Resolution
Revolution

There is a place called
Love and Understanding
you can actually go there you can actually live there
it’s as real as anywhere
there

is love and understanding
and there is where
you want
to be

The little cow looking ahead
not looking down on his hooves
behooved why was it the herd were stopped in their tracks
was it a matter of facts
stayed by the flat white picket apparition partition
grooves repeatedly seen as a checkpoint for
defense

He could see at his feet the stripes painted white
under stars and stripes glistening
for the listening herd there was no passing at night
but
for little cow wow there were plenty of thoughts on his brow

The missing link is that we think
and how
we think about life and death and all the rest
the missing link doesn’t need
a middle man
it’s thought that’s everything
if we miss this link we could forget that a love lost
was ever found
that a happiness that isn’t happening
ever happened

The missing link is that we think
beyond the pond and puddles that muddle
then a splash and a flash provides the other side
sublime

My
my…own death
living is a pre-existing condition
you’re insured
your descendence or ascension dependents and ancestors
are all in an assurance
that can’t be bought it’s brought in with thought

Consciousness
is primary a mystical we in the midst of elements
but can we see
our primacy is before and after everlasting
Blake’s Death’s Door is your next door
another neighbor another friend another realm on high
