look at a leaf on a tree

it will soon drop from its branch

then fade to brown and dust

making the soil new and verdant

there is within our senses

a pause

that naturally

occurs

and in that pause

dwells our humanity

all the imperfections and the perfection too

the intimation of life beyond time

have you seen the light that shines

day and night

in every time and memory

in the future and the fleeting now?

have you known the light

that is

regardless of the was, has and been?

have you seen

the brilliant one

adorned in light

and clarity?

the one that bears your name

upon the fleeting now

in the fleeting world

of the

ancient

Earth

ignorance

is in everything

understanding is there also

knowledge is the skill of applying understanding

It will be in the quiet evening

on the shore of a high alpine lake

that the last song will be sung

as below the land will be sea

and the world will be slow in its turning

the last song…what will it be?

a song of birth

as the last woman will give birth to

the first child of the final Earth

the way to health

is not just through

diet, exercise

and moderation

but through

attitude

it is not what you  eat

but the attitude you have

when you eat,

it is not what or where you live or do

but how you live and do

the way to health

is a path of attitude

that can lead to the sacred experience

of the inner self

the impulse behind

Being,

Doing

and

Having

and letting go

of the identification

to these three human experiences

The pattern

is to be found

if looking

into

a still point

where things converge

and unite

all patterns, whatever they may be patterns of

are convergent energies

all offering langauge

all still points

in a fleeting space in

time

the breath is the wind

the breath is upon the hills

the breath is within

the rising and falling of your lungs

it is within the heartbeat

the breath is in the voice

that speaks to those

who listen

the breath is within the ancient rocks and sand

within the flute and sunset

nd within the passing of time

the breath dwells within

the rainfall

and the rising mist

with the arching clouds

and the dreams not dreamt into being

the breath is within

the thought

nd the deed

the breath within

is the

seed

evening song , evening song

evening song

full moon calling

evening song

twilight

harmonics

stir the milk of human wrath and kindness

how the earth detests antibiotics in the fish

grown like cattle

evening song

evening song

harmonic moon

calling out

to the western point

of the island

sitting on the swell

soon the fire will return

to the earth

temples will rise from their sitting and walk

a leaf

is blown by a cold wind

a leaf is tossed by a  summer breeze

like leaves so people

feel tossed

by time and circumstance

yet even the strongest wind must

cease and lose its murmuring

the leaf in the gale swirling

will always come to rest
