If

If love is a vast sea

Can it be nirvana

As it is oblivion

Noisy as it is silence

Calm, harmonious as it

Softly brushes the beach

Stormy, tumultuous as it

Angrily smashes the rocks

Pulled by the moon

To ebb 

Tricked by the sun

To neap

Yet every day

High and low tides

Bring magic

To our landlocked lives

Hidden behind

The smiles 

We try to suppress

As we feel the joy

Of those so brave

They dare to ride 

In the tube

Of love’s giant waves.

Show your lovely soul
Opening to the huntress
Watch for her arrows

Seed of Mystery
Autumn raindrops mock my tears
Loving feeds the growth

In my bed of leaves
With cloudy doubts of reason
Swept in windy swirls

Autumn medicine
March plants call out for harvest
Each a cry of love

Graceful willow wisps
In fall brush by my lips
Your fire ignites my soul

Breezes loosen life
Colored beauties leaving trees
We are free again

Head to Heart Moment - a Pi poem

When wisdom speaks

Listen

From head to heart

Stillness

Bring forth love from action

Rise up when pressures work to push you down

Oneness - Allness

Feel from your core the connection

Pulses from heart to head

Head to heart

Not buried deep in sand

Tugging until the light of day is revealed

Wisdom brings you to the open place of knowing

Now seeing with clarity and perfect vision

The path that leads us from love to action

Heart to head

Joining Moment

Two drops of water in a stream

Flow gently to the river's mouth

Two rivers 

Rush to the sea

Push and pull 

With the tide

Becoming

The massive wave

That shapes

The shore

Two drops of mist form a cloud

Roll and ride

The jet stream

Swallow warm vapors

Gather electricity

As they pass

Becoming

The dark storm cloud

That nourishes

The earth

Two bodies magnetically joined

Flowing, rushing,

 Pushing, pulling

Rolling, riding, 

Swallowing

 Gathering

Becoming

The empowering force

That lights

The spirit

Seimei Shin Moment - Homage to Joseph Campbell

Seimei Shin -

Purity of heart

Bright heart

Bright as the sun

Correct heart

Seeks fairness

Straight heart

Not inclined to mislead

Clear heart

Like a flawless diamond

Can a broken heart be

Seimei Shin?

No longer flawless

A diamond

In the rough

Filled with inclusions

Each earned

With

Love

Alien Abduction Moment

All in my head
Its what the doctors said
All in my head
Yet every week
Being abducted by an alien crew
A "SPELL" overcame me
As the hole in my heart
Would pull me on to their ship
Experiment
The same
Experiment
Each and every time
My fingers would grow
Into giant sausages
My mothers face blown up
Like a big fat balloon
Then the face
A witches face
with a huge wart on her nose
Laughing
Screaming
Closer and closer
An inch from mine
Would melt into a red and white
Target swirl
Begin to spin
Round and round
Until I hit the ground
"I'm back," I would cry
As if emerging from the ship
But it was all in my head
Its what the doctors said

Senryu Moment

Desire warms my mind

Warm thoughts of possibilities

Nipping at my heart

Love brings us oneness

Takes us to the next level

One never alone

Passion fuels my life

Like strong winds blowing my sail
While I learn to jibe

From Haiku to Tanka

Haiku

Like my cup of tea

In summer I sip from you

Missing your sweet voice

 Tanka

Like my cup of tea

In summer I sip from you

Missing your sweet voice

Missing the joy of joining
 Savoring each fragrant sip

Summer Moments - Haiku

 How may I love you?

 How will we dance summer’s tune?

 Blissfully open

How will I hold you? 

How will the trees hold their leaves?

Gracefully tender

Why look in my eyes?

Why look for God in the rain?

Loving is found there

What do lovers feel?

What have trees shared with the earth?

Will we ever know?
