Words


I search for a start~
An End
An inbetween
This/That
Here/There

Words are what I grasp;
physically,
metaphorically
symbolically

A Clarity
A renew
A Forgiveness...

Forgive me, Dear Friend,
for Silence
for lack of Words

Restriction of the vehicle;
the means this time
portrays your blessed Aim.


Understanding is the Silent Space
Words unconvey


I choose words in trepedation; in Awe
in Sacred-Rite-Ceremony.
The Power in expression
the Power in devourment
Either raped or transformed
by perception
of differentiating Eyes
Taken to mean what they will
by a Seer from a different Space in Time
than the word's blood-dipped conception

I cherish words so in gratitude
for they gave me you!
A gift...they're a gift,
never meant for Spiraling
too far beyond One Pure Thought
in Time

I wish I could say that
I let them flow naturally
Yet with Care,
with Care!
If I speak out at All from this Silence
I shall select with utmost care
A Purity that Nature shant
wield away
within/without needs, desires,
twisted limbs of humanity's vices

Are words meant for natural selection?
Only in a time and space
Free
from the Pollution of Gesticulation
the Smog of Greed and Self-Righteousness
that moves Voice and Pen
beyond Sacredness of Intent

the Purity of Silence
I prefer these days

Safe
in quiet, gilded space.


This is Evolution without Song
Without Word
Without definitions, confirmations
which ink would assuredly fail

this gift of Silence
I give to Thee ~
Untaintable
Unrapeable
Unavailable
for further astray

A Vision that began begot
One Silent Song;
A Swan-Song, unfolding
kalaidescope expansion
from the most Visionistic
Inner Landscape of a Dream,
more precious than
a single Word> LOVE
could say

There they are.

Words.

A Life, force-thrown forth in letters
Tired breath, breathing ever beyond
stand-still time

Take them, if you will.
Digest softly
the Divinity
of all
they haven't said.

A vision remaining,
kept safe-guarded ~
Blown away in a hushing breeze
that circulates eternally back
to a first exclamation

Unspoken
Unwritten
Evolution

Flourishing Consciously Deep within.

~for beloved Gregory Ellison

written on the first year
anniversary of his passing
onwards and upwards--
November 23, 2005

thank you all so much for your kindness.

I was thinking about him a lot last night.
I felt so many deep emotions writing that poem.

That would be a beautiful way to share what's in your heart, Melody.

I wrote this poem with thought of his presence and spirit, a few months after he passed...


Heartwood


For a magical time
Earth was alit
with a blazen passion
of gentle true spirit


And blessed Earth's children smiled
And 'cherish!' they cried
The tender unassuming breath
of his authentic life


No doubt, No suspician
of his intent be raised
In a world dark
with pretentious motive,
His radiant soul appraised


And angels and fairies
And all beings of wonder,
Leftover from another space and time
That refused to fall asunder,
Gathered near the warmth
of his hearth-fire growing
His honest words of simplicity sewing
Golden threads retracing back
To a universal lyre
So hauntingly, tantalizingly
Just out of ear
The enchanting lullaby of Love
Their forsaken hearts
So longed to hear


And remember
And spread
In waves over the sullen Earth
Invincible hope
disappointment forever
implied to destroy
The glow of his modesty
Outshining the most sparkly adorned,
Yet inwardly devoid
of Truth and Purity, scorned


And when his light flew free--
beyond, unrepressed,
How all the beings once lifted,
left grounded,
grieved in silent awareness
of the darkness' unrelent


Yet no longer could they
fall prey
To the vacuous shining
Forever forward,
Perception aimed within
For innocence pining


To his heartwood; the center
Unaltered by the transience of time
An infinate expansion of rings
Circling outwards, sublime
From those heartened
by his tempered grace, so divine

Who cradle innocent trust,
Inspired to believe
In the heartwood that lingers
deep within
The birth of every leaf.


for Gregory

He is such a rare and beautiful soul.
The world seemed so lacking with him no longer in it.

I talk to him sometimes...Rainbow too...and in the darkest hours,
I'm comforted by knowing the things weighing me, they would understand. As the world races by, their everpresent and gentle understanding comforts me.
I will keep trying

Maybe it might seem a little strange,
but I've never had a solid vision of God. God to me, is feeling~ presence and energy. Flowing/simultaneously here, there, everywhere.
Greg, as a being, came as close to anyone (and Ginny as well) to that feeling I have of God...of Love.
So, they are who I see; who I talk to.
A more solid/touching/intimate way of being held and holding.


They will forever inspire me.
