STEP INSIDE YOUR OWN ARK POETRY
Dear riders on the storm …..into this world we're
thrown…..what do we do when the storm refuses to let up ….all we can do ----if
we are true to ourselves…..if we don't want to lose ourselves in the endless
struggle ----if we want to stay alive-----the only thing we can do ---is to go
inside……step inside our innermost-ness…….maybe there we can look closely at the
reflection of who we are ----and who we are headed to be----unless we take a
sharp right turn -----and learn a new way to exist----for this we will need no
GPS----G-d will guide us to our destination---He'll plant our road map firmly
inside of our imagination….all we have to do is step inside and trust the
process---all the rest will be effortless….step inside the word….step inside
the idea….step inside the panacea…..step inside of any and every process that
comes your away….life is much sweeter underneath it all ……
IN EVERY WORD
***The ultimate self expression that I yearn for
is where everything converges together…..
***where all aspects of my personality come to the
fore
and they express themselves
in every word that I say,
where all aspects of my knowledge
are integrated and injected
into every word that I say…..
***where every aspect of my awareness,
where I’ve been, where I’m going,
where I want to go to, where I am now
is expressed in every word that I say
REFLECTIONS FROM PARADISE
Help us reach up to your eternity
Help us to embrace you with our whole heart
Help us to open our heart
Help us reach up to thee in the only way we know
how
Help us reach up to you In the most incredible
ways
We need Your smile to guide us on our way
Help us prepare for a whole new way
Help us make a completely new start
Help us see what we need to see
Help us step inside of YOU and then....
Help us step back inside of ourselves
in a completely new way
Help us step inside of a complete
self-actualization
And manifestation Of who we are
And who we are meant to be here in paradise
***Help us step into this world Of healing flow
Show us where to go
Show us how to open up the flow
Show us how to purge away all the things that are in our
way
Show us how to disappear in order to get ourselves
completely out of YOUR way
Help us leap into paradise It feels so nice
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
STEP INSIDE
***step inside of your innermost-ness
peel away the layers
*strip away the façade y
ou won't need that anymore
not in this place
not in this sacred space
not when you truly face
the essence of who you are
***step outside of these room
s these rooms that have deluded you
these masquerades that have intruded on your
truth
these charades that have polluted your youth
external choices
foreign voices
be relentless--- cut them out with the sharpest
knife
it's what you've been wanting to do your entire
life
***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?
** *step inside of this holy place
you're the hope of the human race
UNDERNEATH IT ALL
She fell into a dream
She saw there
Some of the deepest feelings
that she has ever seen before
and she felt there
Some of the most hopeful things
that she has ever seen before
***and she woke up
and it was just a dream
but she knew that something had changed
She opened her eyes
And saw that underneath it all
there was a harmony
there was rhyme and reason
and the leaves were changing colors
in this brand new and ancient season
and she greeted the passing cars
and the raindrops
and the mountain tops
and her love was reignited
and everyone that caught sight of her
was sure that they'd seen her
but actually no one
had ever seen her before
at all
She peered into a pool
And saw a reflection
“Who are you?” she mused
It was not a face she had seen before
It was a face with a transplanted heart
A face that lit up with feelings
A heart that woke up
when she had sung her song stirred emotions
buried so deep
The sky was shocked blue
The sunsets splatted more red
There was nothing in the world untouched
It all had a way of looking different
When she was someone new
THE POETRY OF ALTERNATIVE WAYS OF GOING INTO THE ARK
Dear immersers into life's multi-dimensional shelters ….step
into the many splendored arks that are available to you ---at all times in all
ways—with a little bit of imagination ---experience the sensations of being
sheltered and safe ----safe from the floods that threaten to wash you
away---floods of indifference and monotony and loveless faces and fearful
places-----open up your heart to the endless antidotes----surrounding you at
all times---once you open up your eyes ----they come in all sizes and
shapes---they are found inside you and inside words of higher oscillations---
and manifestations of consciousness---and the sweetest destinations of love's
bliss ---and unmistakable sensations of the truth's deepness---and liberating
mind and heart journeys into exotic lands of endlessness ---and immersions into
holy concept consciousness ----step inside my beloved one—--listen closely to
the echoes of those who have come before you and all those who come after----all
waiting for you to compose new poetic chapters in the epic tales of life's
protective shelters------the elders of the generations in their Heavenly abodes
await breathlessly to partake of your splendid story
WE CAN GO INTO THE ARK
****We can go into the ark
*We can go into the ark
that becomes the antidote
to the floods that threaten to wash our souls
away
Every single night
Every single day
****We can go into the ark of believing
that every little thing that we do
that we see
that we encounter
is for the best
*** *We can go into the ark of loving each other
With all the love in our hearts
****We can go into the ark of eternity
of infinity
of belief
of G-d
of his Divine Word
*** *We can go into the ark of courage
of believing in ourselves
in our inner voice
of believing that we are loved
by The One Above
****We can reach out and invite someone into our
Ark
or into their own ark
HE WENT INSIDE OF HER WORDS
**He saw her face
Her eyes conveyed
What only eyes can convey
''Speak to me
You move me,
Your words
Transport me
To a place I want to go" ,
**These were the words To her
That he spoke
''My words come
From my heart
They come from My soul
My words Convey the love I have for you",
**And she began to speak
In rhyme
In colors
In passion
In poetry
In love
**And he waited
For the right word
And when it came
He jumped right in
And he has never been
So happy
So alive
As the time
When he went inside
IMMERSION INSIDE OF A HOLY CONCEPT
*** inside of a holy concept
there is found endless depth

we can analyze it
or

THEY STEP INTO THE ARK OF LOVE
**this love they feel now from another lifetime
Penetrates illuminates saturates intoxicates
their lives now
**this love they feel now
takes on all kinds of forms
and combinations and reunifications
and manifestations in their lives now
**this love they feel now
is not merely a discovery it is a recovery
of the time-less lessons from the ancient womb
of the puzzle pieces coming together
with great allure now for him and her
**this love they feel now
draws them in to places they've never been
but they must go that much they know
if they can let themselves go places they have not yet
known
and enter into an infinite zone
**this love they feel now
reverberates forever connected together
a sound a sight a thought a light
extending in ever deepening profundity eternity of
eternities
POETRY OF THE FLOOD AND THE ARK
Dear storm survivors….dear cosmic mountain climbers…..dear
light riders and sci fi-ers and inner mind long distance flyers…..allow the
imaginary walls to fall away theres' something I'd like to say ----so before
you run away----lend me your ear….there's something I'd like you to
hear…there's something going on around here------there's a flood ---threatening
to wash us all away------just listen to what so many people seem to be saying
------actually there's many kinds of floods and they all have their customized
ark ----designed to raise the sparks that are calling to you in the recesses of
your mind-----all the time all the time….so we need to build our personalized
ark ----until the storm passes----until the confusion subsides---until we can
go outside again----but until then ---we must go in---go deep inside ----and
save the world which we are creating ----all of the animals and people and
trees and things that we are trying to bring to life…..here are some
images…some poetic paradoxicalwords to help you find your own ark…
THE FLOOD OF DEFICIENCY
**There's a flood out there
causing us to think
That We have nothing
That We are nothing
That We have nothingt o really desire
That we dont really have any strength
That We have no inner fortitude
That We are barely making it through the month
That We are barely making it through the day
That We have no reserves to rely on
No inner gifts to drawn down into ourselves
**Its a flood that's spreading its fangs
all over the whole consciousness of the whole world
Deficiency and lacking rule the day
**We are asking Hashem;
Open up our eyes to see
how sweet life is
Open up our hands to do
benevolent and effective acts
Open our ratzon
to desire the very best
Open up our love
to share freely
and spark the love
in everyone we meet
Open up our newness
to see that every new second of living
is absolutely wondrous
Open up our eyes
To see there are gifts
coming to us from You
at all times
WE CAN GO INTO THE ARK
There's a flood
There's a flood of indifference and apathy
There's a flood of heartlessness
There's a flood of selfishness There's a flood of fearfulness
There's a flood of paranoia There's a flood of despair
*We can go into the ark
that becomes the antidote
to the floods that threaten to wash our souls away
Every single night Every single day
*We can go into the ark
of believing that every little thing that we do
that we see that we encounter is for the best
*We can go into the ark
of loving eachother
With all the love in our hearts
*We can go into the ark
of eternity of infinity of belief of G-d
of His Divine Word
SHELTER
***she looked him in the eye
this time he wasn't going to get out of it so easy
***He was a refugee
from years of being tossed around
never really able to sing his true song
but His song rang true
maybe not for her maybe not for you
or anyone else
but for himself his song rang true
that 's all he knew that's all he needed to know
***hers was an invitation
constant companionship never to be lonely again
this is what she offered him
shelter from the storm never to be alone again
***he glanced at his watch to know the time of day
was really not what he wanted to see
what he wanted to see
was if he was in the place that
he really wanted to be
***shelter from the storm
was what she offered him it was her only way
that she could think of to set him free
but deep down he was a refugee
and the deep blue Sea called out his name
and he said thank you all the same
****and he set sail that very same day
and the Sea breeze
was really the only thing
that could set him free
POETRY OF THE INCIPIENT CONSCIOUSNESS OF BERESHIT'S
MYSTICAL BEGINNINGS
Dear welcomers of the new…..people who never are through –because everything is always renewing----overflowing with intuitive blues and reds and and words that you never have said---at least not in the way that you just said…..and your newness wakens the dead back to life---sweetens the struggle against the other side ----internalizes the realization that whatever came before has nothing to do with the new thing that comes to you now---not now—not any more---you've stepped out of that door---never to come back again [except for perhaps a visit now and then—but even then it will seem like you are seeing something you've never seen before]…..
THE WHOLE WORLD IS WAITING
***and the morning
finally spoke to him
in bright tones
and assured him
that he can speak now
***finally
he's been waiting for the chance
to show anyone who would listen
what he really felt
without having to censure his words
lest he would be misunderstood again
***and we live in
a time of poetry and music and rhyme
That are beginning to open up
to one and all
in waterfall fashion
with unlimited passion
and all these words can be truly heard
in the hearts and minds
of everyone who is looking to find
who they really are
and what they have to say
to the world
that no one else can say
but that everyone else needs to hear
to complete them
to elevate them
to inspire them
***and
so--the man with the big appetite
to spread the word
to one and all
began to sing a new song
not as a performer
not as a reformer
but as one who gently invites anyone
who is willing to give it a try
to let their own voice be heard
in the middle of the night
in a way they haven't dared
***and
to yet your voice e heard
is everything
the whole world
is waiting
the world was created for you
speak up sweet souls
in the way that only you know
THE SOURCE OF ALL TRANSFORMATION
invisible
what they can't see
they can't touch
impenetrable
there's no way in
for those who seek to inflict harm
nothing-ness
the unfathomable dimension –
the source of all transformation and re-birth
***and the
palmaliya shel maala
remains intact
the interconnected Divine network
connecting all the dots
remains secure
but there is one condition
that the sacred mystery
be left alone
be left in it's holy state of AIN
of nothingness
of interinclusion with all
yet at the same time
far removed
way beyond
***and when the retreat back to not knowing
is held in place
is kept in reverence
then we make room
for The One Above
and for ourselves
to walk together
down this magic pathway
that we call LIFE
THE CREATIVE EXPERIENCE
***the creative experience;
*channels it's way into our hearts
forges a path in the dark
*** the creative experience;
*awakens the slumbering giant
who resides deep inside ...
a giant of innovation
waiting to be bestowed
with endless inspiration
*** the creative experience;
*humbles the fortunate riders
who see that their experience
happened outside of their volition
beyond their conception
*** the creative experience;
*despite all preparation
is really only a sensation
an integration of a deeper voice
leaving us no choice
but to put pen to paper
and let the process unfold
because these stories must be told
with music
and colors
and feelings
that never grow old
HARVESTING WHAT WE HAVE BEEN BLESSED WITH
***harvesters of
the endless flow
***see-ers of the
endless gifts
that never stop coming
though at the time
***we can be partially
blinded
by the difficulty
by the seeming impossibility of it all
***until a
bit of hindsight kicks in
and lets us see
that it is His benevolent gifts
that have been sent to us
in a customized and personalized way
the gifts that have been
and are presently
and constantly
coming our way
always in the very best way for us
***and the key
is to see
that often it is precisely
the difficulty
that has been sent to you and me
that creates a vessel \ Kli
–that allows you and me
to grow to become today
a brand new you and me
that we didn't know about yesterday
***take another
look at life's avenue
take a minute or two
to review all the blessing
that is constantly coming to you
***and harvest the
fruits of your yesterdays
and open up the shefa\ abundance of today
to see that all that is sent to you
is exactly what is meant for you
and is always coming to you
in the best possible ways
***holy sparks
soul completions without end
believe in them
and see them
at all times
as being the very best thing for you
and you will become a constant sacred harvester
nothing less
regardless of the apparent negative nature of things
your harvesting will bring nothing but blessing
THIS MYSTICAL ENTITY CALLED BERESHIT
Dear mystical seekers…….
dear knockers on the doors of transcendence….
dear knowers of the experience of everything being included
in the first flash of wisdom…..
dear seers of the experience of a rare light that awakens
you to know that THIS is all you need to know [all else is just
commentary]…..
dear resonators for those rare realizations that this
experience 'says it all'….
dear healers of the spirit and teachers of the essence and
artisans of the articulate-----you all know that THAT ONE changes everything……
it waits for you around the corner….just before you get up
to go….
in the impression that is left when you recall that there
was more to it than I thought……
In the beginning-----in the Bereshit----in the allness
incipient point ---we can rediscover and uncover everything
THE POETRY OF THE ABSOLUTE MYSTERY OF THIS THING THEY CALL
'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 waitingto 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
