GOLDEN PROMISE

I dream of a new world
In which humanity has advanced
Beyond the present paradigm
Embracing a new order
Set in Universal knowledge
I can feel this vision
In my inner depths of being
With a certainty that cannot be denied.
Many are the names of the gods,
But God of gods, no name at all.
Divinity is realised
From the smallest particle of matter
To every part of space and time
Universal Mind remains the same
In its pristine certainty
Nought can prevail against its place
In Universal Cosmos
Responding in the light and sound
Of harmony that knows no bounds
Expressed throughout a Multiverse
The golden promise of long ago
Of heaven and earth and a dream
Expect within the twenty first
Expect within a hundred years.

WHERE DOLPHINS PLAY

Can you tell?
Where dolphins play
Or where the trees
Lift up their branches
To the heavens in praise
Of their creator?
Or where lovers meet
In union that is divine
Can you tell?
As the mountains rumble
Or the seas roar
When creation is disturbed
For mans’ undoing
And have no regrets for that
Can you tell?
The colours of a sunset
Setting that the stars
May soon be seen
If you can tell these things
Indeed your heart is wakened
To the hand of the creator
And you are held
Embracing and embraced
Within eternal love.

THE SONG OF CREATION

In the beginning was the sound
Of all creation bursting forth in light
From whence I find that I am known.
And have not monks of old hummed on
In their halls of resonance
As the Earth spins round the Sun
Amidst the music of the spheres?
Is there not a chorus every dawn
And as dolphins play
Are not their soundings heard
By Sirius and the Pleiades-
Know you not of their sweet influence?
And do not lovers meet
With a song within their hearts
Sharing in the oneness of the Universe?
All can respond
In the joy of pure creation
There is a dance
There is a song
But you must join the dance my friend
If you would know
The great Participation Mystique
In the Magic of the Wonderful.

SOUNDINGS

As the waves beat upon the shore
And the wind breaks among the trees
So shall things continue
Birds make their flight across an open sky
The Sun that sets rises on the morrow
Take comfort in the power of life
The treasure of your physicality
That has substance in other realities
Undeniably so strong
Enjoy the onward swing
Of progress in the care
Of soulful evolution
Knowing all things shall be well
All things have their endings
All endings are beginnings
It cannot be other wise
As creation sounds the note
Across the distant shores
Echoing from galaxy to galaxy
And to our Mother earth

THE TURNING OF THE CURVE
As the barn door swings
In the gust of a breeze
Or the seagull turns
On the movement of the wind
Or the lion sniffs
The scent of its prey
Or the dolphin navigates
The current of the sea
And we are awakened
To answer the call
As the spirit moves
To a greater degree
And the plucking of the harp
Has stirred upon the heart strings
And we respond
In a different way
And the barn door pivots
And we are changed
To live and forgive
Throughout each day
Humanity arises
In reponse to the heavens
As divine intelligence
In-breathes all things.

RESTLESS WIND
The wind is restless to night
Shuttering around outside the house
We stay in fearful
Feeling wiser not to travel
Give the meeting a rest
Be spaced out, read the Tao
Be like soft water, unaggressive
As I feel the wind is wont
To shake the patterns of the mind
Tired of being as they are
The need to find new territories
The need to find new forms of understanding
New images in a spiral dance
Arise in a field of new energy
From a different world
Inter-lapping, inter-fusing
Into the matrix newly woven
As the wind blows out the cobwebs
Released we walk
Into freshly pinned out paradigms
Free from old restrictions we emerge
Now to face the re-construction
That becomes more present
In a clean landscape
After the storm
You can feel it in your bones.

Pebbles on the beach cont.

A fog horn calls across the bay
‘You think you are the only pebble on the beach
Don’t you… don’t you?
You think you are the only pebble on the beach’

I shiver as the earth tilts
The luminescent darkening sky
Appears beyond the sea brims’ curve
We do live on a planet after all.
Might I concede a point?
There could be other life out there
With myriads of stars reflecting on the stones
In the spume of eventide
Knowing trillions of neutrinos
Pass through the never ending space
And through my earthly form
I somehow sense my place
With the shingle sounding in my head
I will get home, get warm and get to bed
Feeling I must give
An answer to the fog man’s call
I am not the only pebble on the beach.

PEBBLES ON THE BEACH

As I descend the hill
To the wintry water’s edge
The sheer wind is keen
But seems to go straight through
Chilling to the core
As I listen to the waves
As they beat upon the shore
Shingling, shingling,
With the sound I love so well
As seagulls mount upon the wind
Complete the seaside scene
As sand and seaweed, stones and pebbles
Spangle out around the bay.

Yet I am so critical, so analytical
As the structures of my mind increase my pain
A seagull wheeling on the wind
Complete in nature more than I
Begins to call
‘I know more than you’

AFTERNOON

Disturbing a curtain
By an open window
A cool breeze
Announces a presence
On a summer afternoon
As sunlight through a lattice slips
Slanting on the wall
And oleanders move their leaves
In acknowledgment
As eddying currents
Flood the room
With presentiments
Of worlds beyond
And old thoughts pass away
In the interfusion
Of things more keenly felt
In the impress of
Another reality.

BREAK OF DAY contd.

True in its own essential being
True in its gracefulness of movement
As opening petals make as well
Their own reception to the sacred hour.

As the Sun now rising, rising
Has turned the key
And open swings the door
Upon the day it has provided
That we can forward move
From the precious womb of morn to take
Fresh action, labours motivating
Till beneath the a silver Moon
Evening comes and falls the night.
Making way till dawn is breaking
Breaking, breaking, newly breaking
And through the misty veils again
The gazelle steps, rejuvenating
In the song of all creation.
