Wanting Found











Only those who claim to see are blind
And only those who wish to see are cured
The others lured
In hopes to find
The answer to a question
That unknowingly they’ve left behind
Only those who know themselves as weak
And see that human strainings have no force
Without a Source
Can ever seek
The kingdom that was promised to the humble and the meek
Yet he was strong, who, humbled in desire
For sight, when hushing crowds bid him relent
And be content
Did call out higher
Til Answer come to flood his life with light, his heart with fire
Contentment is acceptance of a lesser hope
While joys in store for restless souls abound
For weighed on scales of truth we are found wanting, 

But only truly wanting, are we found.

Zygote The angels stand speechless at each little soul From two loves, one flesh — Ineffable. When the worlds collide  And a small seed hides inside a woman’s fair flower garden — Beautiful  Swift yet silent is a new bud hastening  To new forms, rising from a new strength, wakening... But still, small — all within the limits of a pinpoint! Atoms, splitting quickly into slender fingers, thin joints... There! where the makings of a man first flourishes  There at the start where the warm dark nourishes  The molding, unfolding of a whole new universe The first of its kind  which the stars of the sky cannot contain A refrain rises up from the awe-struck seraphim  Long before the 6 week heartbeat bursts through In liquid soundwaves Heaven take care of him! Glory to the Maker of the Living In the living thing made! Soundless are the world’s most dazzling miracles  Secret as the seed’s unraveling... lyrical, Only to the hearts which hearken  To the ...

There were light-bits coming from her fingertips dripping from the ends like dew drops, sparkles of the freshest things something in the way she flings  it all in  it's like a love-dance.. scamper, prance: weight,    hold; linger — spring!  bounding down and up again  See! we are tangled in a reverie  with deep, divine madness, hopelessly caught up in it;  even, there are some who leap overboard, knowing  no prudence, no boundaries,  no calculation, once  kissed once, by the laughing  mad sweetness of eternity  carved from white and ebony tapped from in a tautened string… here light flashes; life spills over, making wood, and hand, and copper sing

What Wondrous Love is

  1. Breathless It was  sitting on a park bench, that  first I had the sense of being Contemplated There was a sharp discomfort  in his posture, as he  breathed, and gazed, restless   across the pond, toward the water fountain stricken, by some never-asked-for vision  of a power I was not aware of having  It was  somewhere in the same town,  where overtook me that same awe, of being  arrested   by the inkling of a soul, so blue and deep and shifting, like the sea,  some mystery, unfathomed, drawing inward, by the fact of being beautiful  My father ventured  that the falling bit of love, is to uncover  for an instant, just a corner  of the veil over humanity  whose dazzling explosive worth   outshines by far the stars of every galaxy, expanding into rainbow colored ripples  through the ether     whose depth goes down, below the deepest ocean,  where ...
