ALL THE POWER

THAT EVER WAS OR WILL BE

IS HERE - NOW

..

I AM THE CENTER

OF MY UNIVERSE

..

AND SO IT IS

FASHION STATEMENT

..
On a dark and dreary day
In the streets of Monterey
Walked a fashion statement gay
..
Stretch pants black and saggy
With matching boots, quite grungy
Golden silk the skirt
Where four planels gaily flirt,
Turquoise, Green and Oriental
Petticoat a-peeking gentle
..
Over all of this chick packet
Purple and pink, a bomber jacket
Final touch to top all that
A gloriously jaunty red ski hat
..
God's truth it is no lie
Saw it all with mine own eye!
..
From Time & Again by GeoE
..

'Tis So!

..
A sudden burst of laughter
Across the silence of an empty room
The fading, wafts
Into the darkness of eternity
..
Was that you?
Or does the echo of your gaiety
Forever sing
To fill the empty places of my heart?
..
And is it hope - or memory;
Did you really come to say
"Hey...guess who I'm fishin' with today?
One wise fisherman -
And He won't get away!"
..
Beloved friend,
I weep for me - not thee,
And find myself impatient
With the petty goings-on
While you are finding - answers;
Self revealed;
..
Looking out upon a promised land,
Walking hand in hand with Truth
The concepts we worked too hard to understand
The dedication to a path;
The joyous crossing that was planned;
..
All this you know
And I still wait - and wonder
List'ning in the night
To hear you speak -
"Tis so - Tis so."
..

DICHOTOMY

..
Meeting each day's challenge
.....With courage and grace
..........The Karmic Debt accumulateth not
..
...........The song is heard by singing
................Love is gained through giving
.....................The race is won by watching
..
...........Vision is gained in the list'ning
.......Life takes form in the dying
..........................Courage comes with being.

ETERNITY

..
Were I to find proof,
Incontrovertibly
That I, in some successful past
Was Plato,
Would that decry philosophy?
..........Or could it be
..........That even he
..........Had rungs to climb?
That all the wisdom of the past
Must be re-learned
Or be forgot
...........And ev'ry single soul
...........Alone must know - or grow
...........In his own time and way?
Or that eternity
Un-divided be
And leads just to the One;
............Or perhaps, indubitably
............Last night's Martini
............Was not good for me?
..
From Time & Again by GeoE
..

OH, MY GOD!

..
No God awaits enthroned in judgement
.....No dev-lish glee for stupidity
But ever unfolding, time on time
.....To know my Self in Thee.
..
"There, but for the grace of God, go I"
.....Is surely the quickest way to die
For life is undivided time;
.....My heart finds itself in thine.
..
God is not some deity
.....Who hides himself as me and thee
God must simply, wholly be
.....LIFE undivided..........Stet - GeoE

AFTER-STORM

..
The sun
With smiling eye
............Floats high
............In soft blue sky
......................As tho'
..
Yesterday
Had not been dark
............With vicious bark
............Of lightening's spark
........................And hail
..
Flirtatious miss
Who knows full well
..............Her tantrums only tell
..............How sweet her kiss -
...........................And free
..
From Time & Again by GeoE

ON MOVING

..
Outside my window
Sparkles gold the Oaks
And flutters white the Moths,
Absorbing pain of parting
..
As seasons pass
Does one still mourn
Fierce crash of waves
On ageless rocks and shore?
..
Perhaps an aching heart
Will richly heal
In silent contemplation
Day by quiet day
..
From Time & Again by GeoE
..

THE GIFT NOT GIVEN

..
The gift not given
Asketh "why"?
..
And echoes endlessly
Throughout the interstice of time.
..
Was gift, or giver, false,
A lie named love?
..
"Remember me" instead of
"Pleasure thee?"
..
The heart that's broken thine
.......not mine?
..
From Time & Again by GeoE
..

HOLD THAT LINE

..
You said you'd call
I said I'd wait,
But life's a siren song
That has enticed me
....................New fires
....................Warm old desires
.......Tho' in the silence of the night
.......I feel your questing touch
.......That line is dead.
.......Try www.com instead

WISDOM

..
Sometimes I am stupid
.....Knowing beyond all understanding
Sometimes I'm wise
.....Knowing I know nothing at all!
..
From Time & Again by GeoE
..

BABY DAZE

..
There's nothing like a baby
..
To shorten all your nights
.....And lengthen all your days;
For making messy diapers
.....A cause for joyous praise
Or obnoxious bragging
.....A song of witty phrase.
..
Urping on your shoulder
.....Is a blessing in disguise
And love a priceless blessing
.....In those big unfocused eyes!
No, there's nothing like a baby
.....To win life's greatest prize!
..
From Time & Again by GeoE
..

GOD NO!

..
If God was dying
.....Then would He
Appoint as straw-boss
.....ME?
And would I joyfully agree?
.....Not me!
..
I never know
.....From day to day
What stance to take
.....What game to play
'Tis best I walk
.....Confidentially
And play the cards
.....He's dealt to me!
..
From Time & Again by GeoE
...

TIDES

..
The tides of Time
Have washed upon my shore
A plethora of toys
Swirling 'round my toes
In dizzying array
..
Dare I wet my feet?
..
From Time & Again by GeoE
..

MAY DAY

...
Heady the scent
.....Of buckets of blooms
..........In market stall
..
Heaven sent
......One small rose
..........In Lover's hand
..
Devistation rent
.....In dandelion
.........Crushed by grubby feet
...
From Time & Again by GeoE
..

ABORNING

...
Shhhhh...........Listen
Do you hear the silence -
The breathless hush of waiting?
..
.....Now..........this minute
..........Out of the dark
...............Mysterious womb of Mara
..
....................Ever bright - the Sun
.........................Eternal light of life
..............................Returns - anew
..
From Time & Again by GeoE
..

YOURS........OR MINE?

..
What is life that we
...........Desperately demand it be ...
.....................What?
..
A job
..........To which we wearily
......................Drag ourselves each day?
..
A lovely house
.........For which we pay
.......................And pay and pay?
..
A spouse
...........Whom we must please
........................Concede - conceive?
..
A child
............To bear our name
.........................Or blame?
..
How desparately we try
.............To preserve a status quo
...........................And if we let it go - what?
..
Life is not found
.............In tin-tinab'ling poud
............................Nor desperate pursuit
..
Not in cacophonic sound
..............Nor silent mediation
..............................'Twould never suit
..
Life simply and silently
.............Persistently,
.................................Ceaselessly exists;
..
The rest is up to me,
...............Whatever and whenever
..................................That may be.
..
From Time & Again by GeoE
..

DON'T LOVE ME

...
Don't love me so much;
......I am dying.
Life has naught
......To do with beating heart
But with being
.......Ev'ry hour - ev'ry day
..
Life's given birth
.....Through the living
Nor you - nor I can know
.....Appointed day
Nor guide our feet
......Upon the way.
..
To sit with blinders
......By the track
May be the way for some -
......Not me;
I want to see
......the boxcars rushing by
..
Memories are sweet;
.....Nostalgia moves the heart;
.....Love brings light
.....And oft remorse,
And then;
.....The train must move again
..
And who can say -
......Nor you - nor I -
What treasures lie
.....Around the bend?
Mayhap beginning -
.....Not an end.
..
'Tis "all aboard" -
......Or never know
When comes the time
......You got'to go
Ride with me
......Or leave me free
..
"The best laid plans
......Of mice or men
Gang aft a-stray"
......'Tis said.
I only know
......I have today
..
