SET LIST TIFERET WEEK
THE POETRY OF THE ABSOLUTE MYSTERY OF THIS THING THEY CALL 'POETRY'
[**welcome to the sefirat Ha-Omer week of Tiferet, the
Sefirah of beauty and harmony and healing and truth –and more—and of
course—poetry**]
Dear purvey-ors of the mystery ……dear artistic say-ers of
what comes to you out of no-where……dear blind trusters that G-d is the Poet and
you are simply the pen……..dear holy rollers -----giving up all control to the
whims of fate---satiating yourselves with the divine given plate of spiritual
nourishment that is set before you……...let go of the "Ani" and let
you’re inner ''Ain'' roam free in the protected native lands of the tribes of
Poetry…..surely here you will encounter like-minded beings seeking the same
adventures that you always have been seeking…..come join us in the sacred
circle of poetry---and warm yourself by the campfire embers reincarnating into
sublime flames that warm the endless stories that you are driven to tell--
again and again----synthesizing themselves deep within your soul----stripping
away that layer of clothing that you usually cover yourselves up with ----but
not now-----because massive magnificent myriads of Angels who have been created
by your poetic words---descend into our gathering -----and their very presence
bespeaks color and light and everything nice ----and so the masters of poetry
carry on deep into the night
WHAT ELSE CAN I DO EXCEPT TO PUT YOUR POETRY INTO MY PIPE
AND SMOKE IT
****And I want to thank you
for reaching out
I want to thank you
for igniting in me a spark
A holy spark Hidden in an ember
an ember waiting
to be fanned Into a flame
a flame burning with poetry,
Burning with creativity
Burning with sublime secrets
*****Lighting up all that lies
deep within
Deep within the recesses of my spirit
deep within the primordial memories
of lifetimes that have come
and lifetimes that had gone
a long long time ago
*****yet they beckon to me here
at the edge of consciousness
and still a still small voice calls out inside
*****and sometimes
I see You there smiling
sending me greetings
of mysterious majestic miracles
and massive magnificent myriads
of love light and bliss
****and I receive your poetry
and what else can I do
except to put it into
my pipe and smoke it
until the deepest message
comes through
SACRED POETRY FEST
****surely the thirst
that you have felt
for so long –
is what brings you here
to this sacred song fest…
****and the promise of expansiveness
enlists your heart
to join us here
with the full time meditators….
****surely the sweet fragrant smoke
of expanded consciousness
seeping out of these oriental dens
of the seekers of altered mindfulness states
is what sways you
to come into
this inner circle camp-fire
we all sit around
****and it is the sage advice
that we all seek
to know the depth of everything…
to touch the inner light of all we see…
to dwell in the sacred spaces
inhabited by traces of our endless souls …
****and everybody knows
that a piece of infinity
contains all of infinity
…and these poetic soliloquies
–regardless of who is listening
---will hopefully help you and me to see
a small glimpse of the deepness
with which we can see reality
JUST LET THE POETRY ENTICE YOU
*****light the midnight lantern
of your mesmerizing articulation……
*****let go of the me
and see whole new ways to be
who you are being guided to be
---In absolute freedom and your beauty
will shine
for anyone with eyes in their head to see…
*****and the beauty you will see
will open doors of Divine reality
---you don't have to believe me---
just let the poetry entice you
and sugar and spice you
and do everything nice for you
---and guide you
to channel down
that which is beyond you
to animate
that which is inside of you
IT HAPPENS EVERY TIME I LET GO OF THE 'I'
~when me as being the do-er
of what I do
disappears
there is no pain
there is no fear
~and when the see-er
no longer sees
that they are the ones seeing
cuz there is a deeper inner feeling
at the center of my being
~when the sense of being alive
has no return to sender address
nevertheless life is at it's best
when it's not compressed
into being about me
into center-ing it around my identity
~that's when we become
euphorically free
because right now,
there is no we
~and there is no I
Enjoy the sublime view
it's in endless supply
and the life force inside
is keeping perfect time
spectacular rhyme
it happens every time
I let go of the I
POETRY –YOU HAVE CAST YOUR MAGICAL SPELL ON ME
Poetry:
you have cast your magical spell on me…
I have learned how to hear your Intrinsic melody…
please speak to me…
speak to my sensitivity…
speak to the child inside of me….
I have made myself ready
to receive the gifts that you send to me…
Poetry;
I am prepared to go on the journey
that you want to take me on …
the dawn has come
and my eyes are closed
and I can now see the souls
who will be guiding me…
I am your most dedicated student …
Poetry;
teach me and I will follow thee
to the ends of consciousness ..
to the edge of the I and thou
----to discover somehow
the messages that need to come through me…
that can help some fortunate souls
to get themselves free
THE POETRY OF TRUTH
[**in honor of the new sefirat ha-omer week of
tifferet---THE SEFIRA OF 'TRUTH'**]
Dear primal truth seekers-------refusers to fall
asleepers------- inevitable breakthrough believers------cut to the chase
helpless screamers…..the time has come for your light to shine -----wake up
wake up….wake up the rest of us ----who don't realize the opportunity that is
at hand--------the golden chance to leap into our own promised
lands--------stand up and herald the truth in all of it's pristine glory
----it's the great escape out of here---out of the deceptions and lies that are
so pervasive in our lives ----- …..Scream your truth ----you children of the
dream-----because you ain't seen nothing yet---don't settle for anything
less----the truth is the seal of the One Above------if you want to be in His
Presence---you must speak and feel and think his Seal---the Seal of Truth
------- may the words of these poems soothe the transition ----smooth the
transformation----soften the integration--- from the World of lies to the world
of Truth-----let truth be the only articulation that you speak---the only noise
that you think ---we have no choice---so open up your lovely voice and speak
only truth----start today---it will show you a whole new way
THE KNOWING PLACE
** *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
****speak from the depths
speak from the bottom
of the deep blue Sea
speak of things that were
Speak of things that will come to be
THE TRUTH , THE WHOLE TRUTH AND NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH
***How does a person get back;
that which is disconnected
that which is uncontented
that which is unrelented
***How does a person re-embrace
How does a person re-compensate
How does a person re-integrate
that long lost part of their being?
*** How do we get it back?
How do we get back
the life force in our lives
How do we get back
the expression in our eyes
How do we get back
the synchronizing of our mind
***I'm not entirely sure
but this I do know
Our hearts and our minds will open
When we know the truth
about who we are:
***The truth
The whole truth
and nothing but the truth
so help me Gd
***Without any alternative agenda
Without any slip sliding pretending
Without one thing coming out of our mouths
and quite another inside our hearts
***and when we do get
to that knowing , glowing , flowing truth
when it saturates us
and infatuates us through and through
when it's what we think
and say and do
When we Feng shui
mind body and life
When we have a flow going
all the time
when what's coming out
is what's coming in
and what's coming in
is what's coming out
***Then and only then
we will begin to walk that path
back home again
THE PURITY DEEP INSIDE
deep inside
there resides
a sanctuary of purity
an indestructible power point
a transcendent alignment
a defiant invincibiilty
a knowing place
a reservoir of truth
a future world perspective
an all is perfect as is being
an interconnected interinclusivity
a face that we know we can be
a life that is completely free
an inability to do anything bad
and when we touch this sacred reality
we unleash a host of Angelic beings
that show us
whole new ways of seeing
that give us a taste of eternity
and usher us
in to a sanctuary of purity
ANCIENT HIGHWAY
*Whatever path we are walking down in life
Whatever situations we are given in life
Whatever challenges that we face
We ask you, Hashem to open up for us a light
An inner light within ourselves
*Help us to go inside
Help us to go inside and see
And resonate with the true me
The real me that I need to be
That I am meant to be
That I want to be
That I will to be
In my life
*And to live from this place
To live from this essence place
To make our decisions from this essence place
Inside ourselves
*We're asking Hashem to light up the path
Of our lives
We all walk down those
midnight alleys of our lives
the ancient highways of our lives
With a yearning, burning for a higher living
He's guiding us through a path in our lives
*Walk down with security,
walk down assuredly
Walk down with trust
Walk down with aliveness
Walk down with passion
Walk down with purity
Walk down with clarity

THE POETRY OF BEAUTY
[**in honor of the sefirat ha-omer week of tifferet---THE
SEFIRAH OF 'BEAUTY'**]
Dear beauty seekers….dear
attraction peekers….beauty can be divine when we Seek out
the right kind…….when we open up our inner minds….when we see the sublime
design that enhances the dull and the drab in order to draw us in……it's always
been this way…it will always be…..let's explore new ways to
perceive beauty maybe then beauty will make itself
available to us in ways we've never even dreamed of…in ways that will catch our
attention----expand our perception----allow us to see essentially
that beauty is all around us---it abounds even inside of us and in
the smiles of our friends---beauty [like wisdom and love] actually
never ends -----so when we send out a message to one and all that all that we
see is truly beautiful after all is said and done ----and the reason
---obviously—is that all beauty comes from the One –the Holy
One---the One who planted attraction and beauty and grace all over
the place----so make some space ---like Joseph and David and all our holy ones
---to find the beauty in everything and everyone
SHE TAUGHT HIM HOW TO SEE
*she opened up his sight
and taught him;
; *how to look
with wide opened eyes
at nature's landscapes
*and how to notice
the mysteries of love's subtleties
*and how to hear clearly
the inner messages
coming to him all the time
*and how to catch
people's true intentions
that are expressed in between the lines
*and how to see
the magnificence of the stars
in the endless night sky
*and how to feel
the unnoticed love
that so many people share
*and how to perceive
the divine
providential hints and messages
that are garbed
in rare bouquets
of beauty everywhere
BEAUTY IS IN THE EYES OF THE BEHOLDER
*beauty is in the
eyes
of the beholder
so they say
and for the most part
that's the way
of things
in this world
her taste
is not always his
your taste
is not always mine
*but I wonder if
there is a kind of beauty
that attracts
everybody
all the time?
What about a baby's smile?
is there anyone
who cannot melt away from
that beauty deep inside
and
What about that moment
when you realize that
all that has been confusing you
has been transformed into absolute clarity
is there anyone anywhere
who cannot see
the splendid beauty
of that moment of clarity
and
What about
when you feel someone's love
unconditional
and there for you endlessly
is there anyone who cannot see
the awesome beauty
of such serenity
OTHER SIDES OF BEAUTY
*and the beauty of youth
shines through
in ways
that old age
can never do
all fresh and new
all the world
awaits you
*and the beauty of old age
shines through
in ways
that youth
can never do
sage advice
the true meaning
of life
is always available
to you
*and the beauty of brand
new love
shines through
in ways
that lifelong love
can never do
the possibilities are endless
the enchantment is breathless
and the euphoria
of love
is always
just a smile away
*and the beauty of life-long love
shines through
in ways
that brand new love
can never do
finishing each other's sentences
appreciating the depth
of all that you do
and say
*and the beauty of the
passionate one
shines through
in ways
that the serene one
can never do
all your heart
and all your soul
is what you show
to everyone you know
*and the beauty of the serene
one
shines through
in ways
that the passionate one
can never do
a knowing smile
revealing a seeing into
essence of your soul
a never ending internal flow
always showing you
the best way to go
SEEING EACH OTHER'S BEAUTY
*she
sees his beauty today
in ways
that she didn't see yesterday
and differently than she will see
tomorrow
*he sees her beauty today
as an explorer
sees a new land
never before seen
to man
and every new day
brings to him
a new land
to explore
*she saw his beauty
when they first met
yet
it was only
a slight
impression
of what it is now
*he saw her beauty
when they first met
through the eyes
of other men
seeing the type of beauty
that draws most of them in
until he removed the
veil that allowed him
to see
her beauty
differently
than anybody else
*once they swore
to love each other
forever more
they both explored
brave new ways
of seeing each other's
beauty
....beauty they
never
have seen before
and their beauty
will forever more
be that which
no one
SHE OPENED HIS EYES
*she opened up his eyes
and taught him;
*how to look
with wide opened eyes
at nature's landscapes
*and how to notice
the mysteries
of love's subtleties
*and how
to hear clearly
the inner messages
coming to him
all the time
*and how to catch
people's true intentions
that are expressed
in between the lines
*and how to see
the magnificence
of the stars
in the endless night sky
*and how to feel
the unnoticed love
that so many people share
*and how to perceive
the divine providential

that are garbed in

everywhere
***THE BEAUTY OF SEEING THE WORLD THROUGH THE
LENSES OF YOUR SOUL
****when you look at the world
through the lenses of your soul
you see souls all around you
everywhere you go
extending from the
highest Heavens
down to the Earth's floor
and every door
that's closed to the body
is opened up to the soul
you have no doubts
about which way to go
because new vistas
will reveal to you insights
you've never seen before
when you connect to life
with the senses of your soul
***when you look at the world
through the lenses of your body
you see only bodies
and everybody is really nobody
because a body
without a soul
has nowhere to go
has nothing to show
for itself
when it's all said and done
there's nowhere to run
except to hide
from this world of helpless cries
from this world of lies
that don't fool anybody
when you connect to life
with the senses of your body
***but when you look at the world
through the lenses of your soul
you'll find that the deeper you go
into the essence of your soul
the more you will light up countless
other souls
without having to make an effort at all
without having to chase anyone at all
the fire will be ignited from up Above
when your soul is engaged with love
when you connect to life
with the senses of your soul
you will light up countless other souls
THE POETRY OF DEEP FEELING
[**the antidote to the metzorah—non-feeler from this week's
Parsha**]
A MESMERIZING ARTICULATION
*when she allows
her
deep feeling self
to come to the surface
no one can witness
this spectacular display
and stay
complacent
and this master soul speaker
speaks to the heart and soul
of those who seek her
*when she reaches deep
inside
she taps a resonation
smoothness becomes her indication
and this new language
fills her up with sweet intoxication
and guides her to share an articulation that only
the rarest soul-speaker can share
*when she searches
deep in the recesses
of her being she starts seeing
all the many human beings
who are all
part and parcel of her own
human being
and that's why
the words she conveys and the way she says
them
is the absolute sweetest thing
that they have ever heard or seen
and this magic soul speaker
takes them to places
they've never been
*and her words
become a song
and her song becomes a dance
and this enchanting dance
tantalizes
hypnotizes
mesmerizes
and anyone who truly sees her
realizes
that they too have access
to this endlessness to this endless bliss
Dear national enquirers….searchers for
that feeling which inspires ..,..for anything that gets you
higher….for that feeling that fans your desire ----from an ember into
a full blown flaming fire ...... nothing less will do ….the time
demands this of you---- to dig down deep –and find that which will keep you
inspired the entire year through….and it's there for me and it's there for
you……all you have to do is believe and receive ---because the One who is
Creating it all again on this very day ----has so much to give and so much to
love and so much to say---and He's giving it all away ----just walk into that
candy store and fill up your pockets with more than your pockets can possibly
hold ---and then unleash your intensity and inspiration for anyone
who can relate ------and let the poetry elevate you and instigate
you to say and do things you never before dreamed you could do……
INSPIRATION
***he allows his mind to fill up
a little more
than ever before
a door opens
and he can begin
to see the voices
and he can begin
to understand
that all of his choices
are perfect
***and when he opens up his mouth
to share all of this
—no one can sit still anymore
---and the doors of inspiration
have been opened
for one and all
and will never be closed again
–not when he opens
up his mouth again
*and he gently but irresistibly urges
All who dare to look him in the eye,
"step inside my friend
the water's fine
immerse yourself into the healing water
let the angelic voices
permeate your spirit
venture closer to the precipice
look out into the vastness
jump off the edge
free-fall into the void
with full trust
the hands of déjà vu
will catch you
just like they have
a thousand times before
what are you waiting for?!
INTENSITY
****intensity screams out his name
on the streets
on the rooftops
in the eyes
of all those
he sees
in passing
embarrassed glances
some of them know
most just look away
*****He wants the truth
He wants your heart
He won't settle for anything less
time ---precious--spark filled
life filled time
He won't settle for anything else
*****He wants the pnimiyus
He wants the soul of the matter
even when everyone else
is content with the outer trappings
with the --how does it look?!'
with the --'what will people say?!'
with the ---'what will I get from it?!
*****speak to him
from a place of timelessness
speak to him from a space
of effortlessness
speak to him with passion
speak to him from your truth
speak to him with intensity
He won't
He can't
settle for anything less
SACRED MUSIC THAT CAN LEAD HIM OUT OF THE PAIN-FILLED PLACE
***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
THE ABUNDANCE OF THE ENDLESS DEEPNESS THAT LIES UNDER THE
SURFACE
Dear under the surface explorers……inner space
wanderers-----knowers that life in all of it's multidimensional manifestations
is revealing only one part and hiding a million more……even the
darkness----especially the darkness----holds inside of it---on the other side
of it---the most sublime light …..and He saw it after He Created it and saw
that it is very good……………and the associative thoughts and the peripheral vision
and the sounds inside the sounds all call out to you----if you let yourself
hear the subtle call coming through ------and all of life waits for you ----to
open up your eyes and see beneath the disguise ----and ohh-- to dive deep
inside your endless mind ----which is hardwired with the soul ---which has all
the answers to all that you don't yet know---and it's the spice of life
-----it's the reason and the essence for being alive
GO DEEP INSIDE YOURSELF
*go deep inside yourself
explore inner dimensions
you have never before seen
*feel inner feelings
pockets of life
you have never before been
*soak in the warm waters
of your safe sanctuaries
the source of all healing
*venture out to your nether world
dare to take a look around
uncover and , rediscover your vulnerabilities
*align yourself to the world around you
to time and space and soul that surround you
open up the door to synchronicity
* unleash the wellsprings of love inside
enflamed love that will never die
the love that lies at the core of your being
*and if you dare
you can share
all that you find inside
with the loved ones
of your life
HEART FILLED
Dear heart-filled emanators….heart warming
creators….heart-speaking communicators…..heart knowing instigators-----listen
to the wisdom of your hearts------a wisdom that goes deeper than you may
think-------words that come from your hearts go into others hearts----and
that's just the start of the story-----for when you truly sing it's song all
day long -----the hearts of all who you sing to---will come alive
too ---and the deeper that you go ---the more that you will come to know things
that you've never known before----and the inner voice of your heart knows more
than the cerebral calculations of your brain ------and nothing for
you ---will ever remain the same-----and when you learn the heart speak ---you
will be able to show others the direction their life must go….and when you
listen to the subtle messages of the hearts constant poetry---you will
feel feelings that the brain could never feel …..and when you never stop
exploring the endless wellsprings of your heart----you may be able to tap into
the the Davidian heart of all of humanity---and transform your heart
and all hearts that feel you--- to be hearts of flesh and to melt their hearts
of stone and on that day -----love will lead the way …..pure selfless love will
lead the way
