Poem: Meteorite Life - Seven of 30 - NaPoWriMo

This momentary life
A flash of light falling
through the Universe
Star bright enough
To wish on, dreams
Pure enough to call
One's own, this life
A pebble in the River
Of Being, tossed
About by currents
Unexpected, tumbled
Smooth, so smooth
That by the end
This star turned stone
Will wash upon the Delta
Sands like glass
To hold up to the sun,
Casting rainbows upon
This momentary life

Haiku - The Reason

The River's reason
Is the flowing of Desire
To be One with All

Haiku - In the Quiet

In the quiet night/Crickets sing Creation's song/Living Universe

August 19, 2011 - The Qu’ran, Surah 16:15

I am weak and afraid

I shake with fear

At times when I should

Stand strong, I shiver

When faced with

The cold truths of

Daily life; such

Mountains

To be climbed -

I made it to the top

Only to fall, face-first

Before my God

These truths, questioned

Become the very

Foundations upon

Which to stand

I could stay upon

The mountaintop

Listening for the

Voice of God

Upon the wind;

But I dare not:

Set upon the path

To the river’s shore,

I must return

To the waters

I must respect the

Gift of my own

Desire; the wonder

Of my ability to follow

God’s voice is not

Upon the mountain

It is in the rushing

Waters of the river

17 August 2011 - Ezekiel 3:14-15

"The spirit lifted me up and bore me away; I went in bitterness in the heat of  my spirit, the hand of the LORD being strong upon me.  I came to the exiles at Tel-abib, who lived by the river Chebar.  And I sat there among them, stunned, for seven days."

In the Spirit,

I was afraid

Yet the Lord carried

Me in safety to

The place where

The lonely found life:

The River of Creation

Flows past those

Who are unaware:  Exiled,

They do not know the

Place beneath the surface;

The Life in the current

of God's Eternal Waters

Among them, I found

Despair.  Among them,

I found emptiness

I cannot return to

The River alone

Against my will,

I was set among

The lonely, to lead them

Into the River

Immerse them

In God's Holy Baptism

Drown them

In the Peace

Of Eternal Understanding

***

Who are these who

I am charged to teach?

Who are they but

My brothers and my sisters?

I sit at the River's edge

And wait.
