BEYOND THE STARS

I gaze into the midnight sky
So many stars I see
Who can know the how and why?
Of cosmic galaxy 

Does time and space have an end?
My world is oh so small
A thought of awe and wonder send
A message to the All 

Of consciousness all is made
Empty space does not exist
From purest Love, without shade
Of this it does consist

Energy and life force
Condensed or spread apart
Within each part dwells the source
There is no end or start

The being who ensouls the sun
An average star, they say
Shall a galaxy become
For that is nature’s way 

Beyond the universe AM I
Transcend all finite form
Yet answer every child’s cry
And make all Life reborn

In quasars AM I singing
In pulsars do I shine
In wedding bells I’m ringing
Everything’s divine

The honey in the bee hive
The rainbow in the sky
The greeting when the trains arrive
The how, the where, the why

You don’t need a telescope
To see my radiant parts
Only take a ray of love
And see me in all hearts

Each life you behold on earth
Is an emanation of my Light
To see as such, impels a birth
In realms beyond day and night

Those who’ve made it beyond these shores
And transcended time and space
Have left these stars to chart your course
Your own way home to trace

AN ODE TO WATER

No odor doth thou release to nose
Nor color to the eye
No savor to the thirsting tongue
Now I think that I know why
Repeated drops a canyon carves
And labyrinths of caves
Reflecting all when stillness reigns
Or pounding rock to sand with waves
Two hydrogen they say you have
Is not that the composition of the Sun?
One oxygen combined with these
With the breath of Life you’re one
So mix the spirit fire
With the mind of air
And you get this substance
To which nothing can compare
Cycling through all nature
Ocean, clouds and rain
Flowing in all bloodstreams
Over chemistry supreme you reign
You purify and crystallize
With no seeming effort in your task
No life exists without you
But never thanks you ask
Merely streaming on your way
Without a backward glance
Nurturing at every turn
All being you enhance
Mother I might call you
For all that thou dost give
Or Water, as your common name
I thank you that I live

A NOW THAT NEVER CAME

Where I Am in sacred now
The present, all divine
There is no there, or when or how
Or depth or breadth or time
Try to project a future
As a now that never came
Try to force seeds to mature?
Do you want to go insane?
Brain molecules of memory
Make a self built on a past?
Your choice is bondage or be free
Does anything really last?
Right now I see a flower
I hear a child laugh
All forms of one great power
We know our selves but half
Something must complete us
A toy, a girl, a man?
The next appointment mad to rush
Let nothing mar our plan
Who is that Self that’s acting?
That tastes the fruit of life
There is something never changing
That knows nothing of our strife
Between each ticking of the clock
There dwells a secret door
All mortal doings it seems to mock
That space we’re seeking for
Call it heaven, bliss, Nirvana
Try to enclose it in a name
For the hungry it is Manna
Deep within we’re all the same

BEEN THERICUS, DONE THATICUS

Ultimate Compassion

Of beings who have suffered
Over millions of earth years
There has been number
Who’ve overcome all fears
Though first as trial and error
Seeking pleasure, avoiding pain
They found a second nature
Where in everyone could gain
By disciplining body
Mind and feelings too
They found a self beyond them
Their own being that was true
Gradually they realized
That the God that was above
Also dwelt among them
In a heart aflame with Love
By purifying motive
And expanding soul desire
The found to serve that God in all
Became their calling, higher
The Self within that says I AM
Is the self of others too
If the same self lives in all
Then we indeed are one, not two
Gradually this Divine within
Was heard with clearer voice
Always do your best to serve
And soon there was no choice
As ages accumulated debts
Came due for recompense
Any problems that arose
Was justice, it was sensed
Either God allows it
Or makes it happen, dude
Surrender to the Will of God
Became their attitude
Seldom ever easy
Was their passage in the world
But as in the oyster of the deep
Their soul perfected as a pearl
Perfected by experience
They got to graduate
A final choice yet remained
Upon which to meditate
Enter oneness, eternal bliss
Become the all in All
Or stand upon this threshold
And hear the earnest call
At first a wimper, then a sob
And then a plaintive plea
They heard arise from friends and foes
Won’t you help us to be Free?
Renouncing their true home of Light
And their well deserved release
They bound themselves, by love refined
To souls who knew not peace
No greater love is there known
Than laying down one’s life
Then raise it up and dedicate it
To liberating all from strife
Call them Ascended Masters
Or holy saints all dressed in white
A rose by any other name
Will still emit the same delight
Though in a heaven far above
Seldom do they rest
Responding to each request of love
From north, south and east and west
With no confines of mortal body
Such as the type we wear
They send their thought and energy
When needed everywhere
Yet must they the law of God obey
The free will placed in all
They will answer all true prayer
From those who make the call
Never mind yet if you sense them
Have faith that they are there
Just follow where they lead you
As they woo with tender care
The harvest has never been so white
And the laborers yet are few
Won’t you give your life to God
That earth might be renewed
Grab those mighty hands of light
Of those who’ve overcome
Join their bands of pure delight
Where victory is always won
All for one, and one for all
Then beyond all time and space
We’ll rejoice when all are home
And know God, face to face

Transcendent Self

Part of me it does so seem
Dwells beyond all form
Only but a spark of me
Was in this world reborn
When I still the outer mind
And calm my heart and breath
‘Tis then I feel within my soul
There really is no death
Immortal is the Life I AM,
The truest self of me
All that can be beheld by sense
Is not my identity
Long ago, it seems I yearned
For more experience
So I projected but a part
Into realms more dense
At first all my creations
Obeyed my least command
Brilliant ideations
Flowed from my heart and hand
I only had to visualize
Intone the blessed word
And all those little atoms
Outpictured what they heard
So slowly and so subtle
More slide than was a fall
My own creations held me
Until they weren’t mine at all
Now I was a subject
In an object world
Like a flash of lightning
Into a mud ball hurled
O how long I did forget
Trudging in the dark
A hall of mirrors, shadowland
Though dream, it seemed so stark
Yet not alone, for others stuck
In the webs they too had weaved
So easy was to enter in
But not so for to leave
By the Grace of my main self
Yet in the realms above
My spark, fanned, flamed and kindled
By a whisper of that Love
Come home dear child
I thought I heard it say
Leave all your toys behind you
Follow, I will light the way
At first it did seem easy
Just skip into the light
While I sing a song of praise
And hold that Presence tight
But then the forest thickened
The path was not so clear
My light seemed but an ember
Where was my God self, dear?
First you must now uncreate
All the wrong you made
And when it holds nothing for you
Then you’ll pass this grade
Now in a giant labyrinth
With a monster at its core
How can I ever retrace my way
Be free forevermore
Shadows would attack me
And whisper in mine ear
Give up, don’t try, yet I persist
Even as I shed a tear
And then the battle rages
As if beset on by a horde
My faith my only armor
My will my single sword
Soon the din had ended
The smoke began to clear
Now the light was brighter
Undimmed by doubt or fear
A bliss began to fill me
I knew I must be home
A peace, now never ending
And nevermore to roam
No sooner had I got there
When wholeness wasn’t all
What of friends left behind
Who to the Lord still call
So back to form I went again
Descending from above
With service as my motive
To be the hand of love
Now I tread this earth in peace
To work and to have fun
In all I know and all I meet
I always greet the One

The Grace of Charity

In the center of the heart
There breathes a sacred flame
Wisdom, power, eternal Love
Compassion here doth reign
When adored and breathed upon
The Light of God is praised
And taken up into the sky
The soul stands forth amazed
To fall, to rise, and dance again
What else is there to do?
For life moves on eternally
Forever born anew
But when the form feels apart
And cares but for it’s self
Feeling not another’s pain
But how to get more wealth
All this is mine; I’ve earned it all
The ego does exult
Let others care for their own selves
Their problem, not my fault
The mind that spins a web of fear
Not anchored in pure trust
And puts it’s faith in what it sees
Yet knows not that all shall rust
Beyond the veil, the soul it knows
That when it shares it’s love
Relying not on earthly gifts
But sustained by grace above
All form must come unto an end
Yet while there’s life let’s live
The only things we’ll take beyond
Is what we here do give
Like blinders falling off the eyes
True vision does abound
Everywhere there can be seen
That suffering may be found
But what is there for us to do
The need it seems so great
So much time has flown by
So much needless fear and hate
No more time there is to waste
In condemning all the past
It led us here, where we must be
And here we are at last
Perhaps we have gone astray
Disobeyed the inner voice
Accepted we are sinners
Or we hadn’t any choice
And now that will, it knocks again
Dare we open up that door
Perhaps if yet ignored again
It will be silent as before
If I answer to the call
To do the higher will
How can I look into those eyes
That are burning in me still
Yet the anger is not apart
From what’s felt for the self
Yet from despair to ecstacy
I can still gain back my health

I can teach a child to read

I can teach a child to read
Or comfort an old man
I can clean a church latrine
With other helpers band
That child is a teacher now
The man thanked me in a dream
That church has given many hope 
My friends on me do lean
My life is very simple
My needs seem very few
And yet I’m always busy
Come help, there’s more to do.
