poetry

awaiting Perseids

awaiting Perseids

gazing up at Cygnus
winging her way westward
pushing Hercules out of the way
we learn bright new names
think of Arab princes
in towers millenia before us
seeing nearly the same shapes and colors

for as unpredictable
as a single day here is
a lifetime blinks by
with the stars in the same shapes
or nearly so
as they took
when your grandfather
was only a boy

poetry

the realm of the everywhen

the realm of the everywhen

what exists in the everywhen
(by my faith):
compassion
energy
creativity
love
truth
transformation

these are the forces of the eternal now
the flows that one must align to
the vibrations that yield harmony
