THE POETRY OF THE INITIAL PASSOVER MYSTICAL INFLUX
Dear experiencers and explorers
and freedom seekers and embracers of the ancient recipe---the
formula for becoming a whole being –for seeing things with a new set of eyes
---without all the lies that permeate our lives so much of the time…..we
stepped and we continue to step away from the confusion that plagues us so much
these days and in every generation…..the leap is a blind one ----we trust sight
unseen His Benevolent invitation ---and because of the limitations of easy come
and easy go---we cannot yet grasp the profundity of what we have leaped
into---like the fetus who sees from one end of reality to the other and then is
blinded by a clip on the lip and spends the rest of their life trying to
rediscover the whole and brilliant knowing they were immersed in –inside of the
womb----so too ----we freedom seekers are shown on the Holy Seder Night--- the
totality of our soul's upcoming journey and then we forget and must recollect
in 49 steps ……but who knows ----maybe if we could be a bit more aware about the
conception experience---we could grow and transform like
never before---in that spirit and with that prayer –I
present to you a potpourri of poetry designed to open up a new awareness of
transcendental reality that we are soon to experience ….wishing you only the
very best
AN EXPLORATION
an exploration
into this new exquisite virgin consciousness
that is displayed with such grace
an exploration
into the wonder of another
into the breathless splendor
that lights up everyone's face
an exploration
intertwined with each other's souls
could it be?
it's all new
we feel our way like a blind man
making his way into the perpetual night
an exploration
and the voice of eternity
beckons us
tantalizes us
we revisit the endless future
the limitless past
we open our eyes
and submit ourselves
to G-d's guiding light
THE GATES OF FOREVER
the gates of forever
call out my name
and help me gain
a knowing
I never dreamed of before
Or forever more
I arrived in the
Forever
I see your face there too
with a knowing smile
and I smile back
forever
the love I feel today
relives and resonates
and reverberates and reiterates itself
in deeper and deeper frequencies
forever
all that I do
all that I say
everyone I meet
all that I experience
all that I love below and above
extends in sweet profundity
into the Forever
EXPLAINING THE UNEXPLAINABLE
explaining the
unexplainable
thought-speak
bypassing words
entering the silence and expressing it somehow
exploring and revealing brave new worlds
where no one has ever set foot
intuitively strutting down the avenue of the hiyuli
and giving a blow by blow account
a silent nod is
all that's normally called for
but now what is called for
is a master spinner of tales
a sweet singer of the night
a licensed pilot instructor
of the rarified stratospheres
of the esoteric heichalot
The Keter \ crown must
be set aside
and the Daat \ knowing must take it's rightful place
full frontal position center stage
we have no more time to waste
the long wait is over
let the ineffable articulation games begin
ENTERING A PORTAL
entering a portal
a fresh and new way of being
entering a Partzuf
a united interacting interplay
of different forces all coming together
like a friendly family
entering a tunnel
where the light at the other end
guides us
provides for us
confides in us
that we have nothing to fear
entering into a sacred space
where all that is stuck
is extricated
is liberated
is circulated
entering Spring
where we can trust
that anything and everything
that held us back
is history
no longer
who we have to be
EVERY WORD INCLUDES ALL THE OTHERS
The young seeker knows
that every word includes
all the others
and that every word
has endless depth
And so
They
---never stop
seeking
revealing
The illuminated Soul
lights up the way
in the dead of night
for all to see
clearly
for all to proceed
calmly
confidently
The one with
the constant smile
unattached
to the things of this world
is treated constantly
to the deepest secrets
sharing them
along with all those
who can really see
The true listener
in pristine receptivity
hears
in between the lines
of the book of life
what was
what is
and what will be
The one who climbs
the tree of life
has no fear
of the
unknown
of the
brokenness
The truly open one
brings down
the fruits of eternity
wrapped up
in simplicity
for all to partake of
MORE PRECIOUS THAN GOLD
concepts interincluded
Divinity fused
life reflected
souls connected
sparks raised
wisdom praised
miracles revealed
chaos defeated
gates unlatched
ties detached
duality unified
boundaries defied
difficulty alleviated
hardness mitigated
COUNTERPARTS
Everyone is a composite
of many sub-personalities ;
a deep feeling part
a brillant thinking part
a calm knowing part
a restless seeking part
and many more soul-full parts
every time that we
express one of these parts
very deeply,
a counterpart
somewhere in this realm
or in some other realm
is activated is penetrated
is rejuvenated
is innovated
and if we are truly fortunate
they come into our lives
and the joy we feel
is boundless
and the fusion of our part
with our counterpart
causes to rain down healing
in all realms
near and far
COMPLETED
the mystic drive inside of us
yearns for completion
to be whole
to be in harmony
to be connected
to be free
the mystic drive inside of us
seeks the experience
of being completed
by one who has all that we lack
the mystic drive inside of us
knows that sharing the entirety of ourselves
with another
will elicit in return
the other's sharing
of their entirety
the mystic drive inside of
us
will bring us ultimately to discover
that special one
that special completer
that precious one
who we will join with
until we become one
one in body
one in spirit
one in wholeness
one in ever expandingness
one in convergence
THE POETRY OF THE MUSIC OF LIFE
Dear witnesses of the music of life....hear carefully the
melodies playing through you and all around you .....the music is there with us
at all times....in every thing that is being said...in the way that rhythms
find their ways into your heart from the start of your day till tomorrow's dawns
early rising ----helping you realize that it's all being composed and performed
by everyone for the sole pleasure of the holy One all of the time........let
the poetry take you there
THE MUSIC OF ATIK
the chosen ones
arrived at the shores
of the mystery
at the banks of impossibility
they were shown
what no human had ever seen
nor will ever see again
leap into the impossible
explore the beyond
find your limitations
and leave them behind
and open your eyes
to see what you can find
in this sacred space
beyond mind
beyond space and time
listen to the music of Atik
as you sail into the mystic
as you embrace the majestic
as you realize that the simplistic
is intrinsically bound up
with the deepest oneness
where life's and music's sacred sevens
touch the eights and tens
upon encountering Heaven's
kiss
a taste
of bliss
I AM THE INSTRUMENT PLAYED BY THE ONE ABOVE
** In order to be an instrument
played by the One Above
I'm gonna to let go
I'm going to give up control
I'm going to let go and let G-d
I'm going to be one
with that which comes in me
and that which goes out of me
I'm going to see
my thoughts
as the strings
and my heart
as the big bass drum
and my words
as the words
of my song
and Gd as the Maestro
The Conductor....
and then I'm going to listen
very closely
to the most
beautiful music
that I will ever hear

THERE IS MUSIC EVERY WHERE
***there is music everywhere;
in the low hum
of the cars on the street
in the crunch crunch
of the food that you eat
**** there is music everywhere
; in the morning birds'
prayers at dawn
in the coyote's howls
all night long
****there is music everywhere
; in the way
she slowly breaks
into a smile
in the precision
of soldier's marching
single file
****there is music everywhere
in the bitter sweet notes
of a fiddler on the roof
in an opening of your spiritual ears
a sure way to hear
which is fool-proof
**** there is music everywhere
in the Shabbos candles song
that stay lit all night long
in the Shabbos nigunim song
when we all sing along
SACRED SONG SATURATES HIS WHOLE BEING
***sacred music
is the dark path
of the lover
who can think of
no other
***sacred song
saturates his entire being
and hypnotizes
all who feel
just a taste
of what he's feeling
he knows
that the music
is the only sacred space
that can lead him
out of the pain-filled place
from a life lived in mediocrity
into a dimension of ecstasy
from a jail cell fraught with weariness
into a pristine sense of devaikus
a majestic kingdom of mystical experience
*** and he feels it
so deeply
that he left explicit instructions
that there are to be
absolutely no interruptions
and at the same time
he is never to be left alone
for fear
that in his musical elevation
of the soul
he would inadvertently
let go
of the attachment
of his body
to his soul
SPEAK YOUR WAY INTO CONSCIOUSNESS POETRY
[**' ..and all who speak more --behold this is
praiseworthy.. ' --from the Passover Haggadah**]
Dear fellow believers in
the healing power of speaking ...greetings to you---you believers in the
redemptive powers of speaking your way from a slave mentality-- closed up
mind-set into a wide open state of consciousness.....some poetry for you in
this spirit may do the trick----find your voice in the thick of it –in the
transformation from constricted slave mindset to the elegance of life's rare
gems coming into your mind and out of your mouth in expansive celebration and
in the integration of this channeled inspiration –---Creation waits in awe for
the soul speakings that you grace us all with and the words never stop coming
and your words not only re-create the ancient scenario----but actually create
your freedom---free flow channeled heat finds it's seat at the head of the
royal table---we have come home and the words are not even your own –---they
come from the spaceless , timeless articulations that somehow
match our generation's voice ---we have no choice--- they attach themselves to
the prophetic messages that we all can rarely hear thousands of times
every day and every year when we re-live this freedom formula----and the story
never ends---it brings us back to our center point---it anoints us with the
messianic oil that will crown our nation very soon –as soon as we verbally
navigate these stormy waters and find ourselves sailing the Seas of Atik Yomin
again and again----the days of redemption have arrived---they are the essential
reason that we live this life as we do…. Here is some consciousness speaking
poetry sent down to us --especially for you ….
SPEAKING OUR WAY INTO CONSCIOUSNESS
****the
scribal precision
the tribal tradition
the rich splendid rendition
of
tales that never grow old
of
tales of bold wanderings
then the written words
unravel a deeper level
****profound
insights hidden
in the recesses of the subconscious
and we speak our way into consciousness
our words
our flashes of brilliance
our conceptual conceptions
tap into the wave-lengths of timeless soul-ing
of an unmistakable knowing
****and even the
greatest of sages
across the spectrum of time and the ages
begin to tell the age old story
of passion and glory
of a birthing of destiny
their words take on a life of it's
own
SPEAK
SPEAK the language of
resonation.....
SPEAK sparks SPEAK your essence ....
SPEAK creative communications
SPEAK bliss bliss
SPEAK to who the other is, was and will be
SPEAK love sharing ....
SPEAK heart ,
SPEAK thoughts,
SPEAK poetry,
SPEAK silence

a deeper level
profound insights
hidden in the
recesses of the subconscious
and we speak
our way into consciousness

our flashes of brilliance
our conceptual conceptions
tap into the wave-lengths
of timeless soul-ing
of an unmistakable knowing
and even the
greatest
of sages
across the spectrum
of time and the ages
begin to tell the age old story
of passion and glory
of a birthing
of destiny their words
take on a life of it's own
and their disciples
come to alert them
to the fact that the night is gone
the endlessly re-told story has captured their
sage imagination with ever new inspiration
the story never ends
it is the universal tale
of slavery and freedom
of darkness and light
and we must speak it out
with all of our might
until we get it right
until our annual
re-telling
of our story
ushers us in to
the land of
eternal consciousness
until our words
transform our selves
into becoming
truly
free human beings
SPEAK IN SACRED SONG
speak in silence
speak in sacred song
speak to me from the collective subconscious
that lies hidden inside you
from time immemorial...
speak of things that were
speak of things that will be
speak of all that is here and now
that which is immediately apparent
as well as that
inner voice
which
bespeaks the ineffable
truth
speak from the heart
speak from the soul
speak from the knowing place
that sacred space
of clarity
and lucidity
HEART SONG
When we speak from the heart,
we open up other people’s hearts
And the two hearts
that open up to each other
Soar like eagles
Enflamed
to the heavenly hosts
Bringing down shefa
Bringing down amazing light love
Ephemeral wordlessness
Comes from a place of song
such untapped deep song
We have so much song
So much untapped song
Inside of who we are
when we speak from the heart
and that's the start
of a heart song
that opens more and more
every night
and all day long
AWAITING THE WORD SPOKENTHROUGH ALL OF US
****awaiting the word
the word
spoken through all of
us
but rarely heard
Unless you can hear the still small voice
Inside of you
Coming through
With
Effervescent clarity
****awaiting the word
the word
elaborates
what we can see
what we can be
if we
could only hear
the word
****awaiting the word
the word
lights us up
in electric pageantry
in ceremonious imagery
lit up
just like
we're meant to be
THE POETRY OF IM---POSSIBILITY
Dear fellow devotees of
impossibility....now is the time to get yourself free and see
.....how the impossible becomes a distinct possibility...so don't just sit and
watch it all be....now is the time to jump into your own
personal Red Sea... I am honored to share with you some poetry about
the realm of impossibillity....when you remove the IM from Impossible than
everything becomes possible ---then the finite become infinite---then the time
bound becomes timeless---then the mundane ways of day to day reality becomes
pure consciousness…then the mortality of our human being-ness becomes immortal
foreverness
IMPOSSIBLE
Impossible
it can't be done
you should've known that
from the start
Impossible
scolds every last vestige
of sanity and practicality
left inside of you
but you see
those irresistible eyes
and you hear
that beckoning voice
somewhere deep inside
in the way
you used to think
deep in the way
you used to go
immersed in things
you used to know
Impossible
but you cast all caution
to the wind
and you decide
to jump on in
like your brothers and sisters did
once upon a time
in another space and time
without reason or rhyme
just because
they had to
there was no turning back
but really
they're all with you
here and now
their courage
melts your fear
as you wipe the sweat
off of your brow
you can feel all of them
in every breath
you take
in the decision
that you make
and you awaken
a bit confused
did you win
or did you lose
you look around
and find yourself
on the other side
still breathing
still alive
Impossible
it can't be done
they told you
with certainty
but you put your trust
in THE ONE
and now you find yourself
in a brand new
way of being in a brand new way of seeing
LEAPING INTO THE SEA OF IMPOSSIBILLITY
Dear fellow believers in making
the impossible –possible…..dear fellow transcenders of nature…dear
fellow experiencers of the unbelievable…of the unimaginable…of the
unexplainable… Dear fellow devotees of impossibility....now is the time to
get yourself free and see .....how the impossible becomes
a distinct possibility...so don't just sit and watch it all be....now is the
time to jump into your own personal Red Sea... let us poetically explore
this phenomenon…and get ourselves ready to leap ---when the time is ripe…your
life may depend on it
PRAYING WHEN THNGS SEEM IMPOSSIBLE
and then it all came into focus
I wasn't sure it could be possible
though deep down I felt it could be
if I'd only truly let myself believe
that's when I realized;
that when you're in
an impossible situation
you've got to fix your eyes only on salvation
you need to look to the highest heights
and scream with all your might'
even if your scream is only audible to you
don't worry about it--it'll get through,
And Say to the One
Above;
''I lift my eyes to the mountains
From where will my help come?
My help will come
from Hashem
who makes Heaven and Earth'
And say to the One Above;
Hoshianu V'Nivasheia
Save me and I will be saved
And say, to the One Above;
I've tried everything
I can't do it
but YOU can do it for me
And say to the One Above;
there is nothing else but You
and I know that you will
pull me through
just like You always do
And say to the One Above;
the harder they come
the harder they'll fall
And no one
and nothing at all
can stand in Your way
And say to the One Above;
You're the One I want
You're the One I need
You're the One I love
Yes indeed
WELCOME TO THE LAND OF THE DOERS OF
THE IMPOSSIBLE
‘’It’s not enough?!’’
Screams the one
Who hasn’t seen what could be.
“Welcome to the land of the
doers of the impossible.”
It’s our legacy
It’s what we do.
“How do you all do it?”
Asks the exiled spiritual leader
Of the delegation
Of anyone who can answer him.
“ It’s in our bones
It’s what we eat
It’s what we walk and talk”
“We are cosmic warriors
When we face the Blackness
We just know that the whiteness
Waits just at the edge
Of the horizon”
THE INCOMPREHENSIBILITY OF IMPOSSIBILLITY
***impossible--it can't be done
you should've know that from the start
***impossible--scolds every last vestige of sanity and
practicality left inside of you
***but you see those irresistible eyes

THE POETRY OF THE BIRTH OF A NATION
happy birthday next week , my brothers and sisters...we
embark into a new way to see.... a new way to be ...... a new we .....my people
tis of thee --sweet taste of liberty ..to thee we sing...let new born freedom
ring again ..... Our annual Passover Rebirth allows us to start
again....to be born again and enter in to a new day ...new birthings, new
unfoldings new sucklings of the Providential Mother---this time like no
other.........some poetry for you.., my tribal family.....
CONSTANTLY BIRTHING
be free
be the one who stands up
and lets the anxieties
fall away from you
like the dew
melting away
in the morning sun
be free
show them all
what you're made of
a lovely testimony
to your invincibility
allowing your difficulty
to sink into obscurity
like the sunset
sinking into a majestic
evening
be free
illuminate the darkness
with the colors of dawn
with the determination
to move on
and the struggles
that you face
that only light up the way
for all of us to follow
if we dare
if we can share
your breath-taking vision
of the glistening light
at the end of the endless night
be free
show us a new way of seeing
a new way of being
where all the
dilemmas and chaos
and disorder and discord
all prove themselves to be
a thing of the past
a fleeting impression
that does not last
swallowed up
in the relentless
melody
of a holy soul
constantly becoming
constantly arriving
constantly birthing
THE OLD NOTION OF ALIVENESS PALES IN COMPARISON WITH THE NEW
ONE
**we interface
with the transitioning
into the gray mist
where the old notion
of aliveness pales
in comparison
with the new one
**and when we flirt
with the image
of a new un-familiar
[and at the same time -painfully familiar]
all encompassing home world
then suddenly
all of the old
fears and concerns
melt away
into the inconsequential past
**we are born
and we die into a new birth
headed towards a new death-birth
constantly
indelibly
inevitably
**and the pulse
of life
beyond life
beckons......
a Heavenly Voice
hiding in the shadows
reminds us
invites us
engrosses us
captures us
subtlely
secretively
surreptitious-ly
** it show us
how to choose
the most important selections
how to go
in the most
meaningful directions
how to bond
with the most
loving connections
**it shows us
how to be so alive
that we have no doubt
that all we do and say
and think and feel
will plant seeds
of endless purity
and alive-ness
and love and light that will
last forever
BACK TO THE ONE
***life comes from nothingness
nothingness comes from everythingness
everythingness seeks oneness
and reverts to nothingness
from which comes
a life of paradoxical striving
an unlikely unifying
an impossible re-defining
of the many into one
***he closed his eyes
and saw static and light
and let it all play itself out
in all of it's chaotic glory
until with the passage of time
a whole new story
presented itself to him
a quiet calm informed him
where he and all else
come from a supreme journey
back to the one
***Creation awaits Pre-creation
like a worker awaits
for his long awaited vacation
like a song awaits a singer
full of inspiration
and the enlightened one
sees that the Heavens and the Earth
and the mountains and the seas
all await of course their primordial force
their pre-creation source
to complete them
to free them
to lead them
back to the one
YOU ARE BIRTHING ME
You are birthing me right now at this point
in my life
You are allowing me to purge,
You are allowing me to see
You are allowing me to be me
I just put it out there
on paper
or into the airwaves
I just let it all be
intertwined with all my different desires
with All the different essences,
they come out on to the page
or into the airwaves
and into the ears and hearts
of all who receive
Birth me into that whole majestic
space
For I am a newborn baby
completely dependent
on your tender loving care
And I thank You for the gift
of associative thinking And the ability to
hear something
And see all the other lateral thoughts at the same time
I want to thank You for the gift
of birthing [or being a birth channel of...]
so many thoughts in between thoughts So many lines in between lines
So much depth within depth Its the incipient
point of the wellspring
Its the beginning of the diving into the deep of the whole
mix
of who I am and who I was and who I am meant to be
Who the IAM was and who the IAM
is
Trying to see how
we can navigate that intimate
path
To get to the I am
and to be born
into it's splendid light
STEP INSIDE OF CONSCIOUSNESS
***step inside of consciousness
take a look around
smell the aroma
with your sense of knowing
touch the undertones
with your sense of wonder
see the life-force
with your sense of equilibrium
taste the exquisite blend
with your sense of discernment
hear the many splendored melodies
with your sense of awe
***hear the melody of surrender
let it's exquisite melodious strains
take you to a place of let go and let G-d
sweeping you off of your feet
into the free-fall swoop
of the eagle on her air-borne search
to nourish her nested young ones
***hear the melody of embracing
every aspect of living
let it's exquisite melodious strains
take you to a place of mindfulness
pulling you in to the essence
of all you encounter
with the wonder-filled eyes
of a baby
seeing it all
for the first time
