The sudden, outraged reaction
Will not halt the polluted flow
Of your futureless future dream.

Learning is quite simple—
When you
Slip through the reef
Of despair
And the barriers
Of fear.

Paths IIA

Peek from ego’s cyclic wheel
To glimpse the eternal Light,
Which eclipses mortal appeal
And pleasure’s fleeting delight.

The tree in the seed
Knows its full maturity
As our Cosmic Self

Knows its Immortality
In the zero of silence

Early August

The morning garden chatter spoke
Of the ripening chokecherries:
In a week the firm green berries
Have become a plump burgundy.

Soon after the fledglings have flown
The annual gathering begins
With errant flights of drunkenness;
Ending in somber discussions
Of migratory timeliness.
