POEMS OF THE LIBERATION OF POLAR OPPOSITES
Dear innocent children trapped in pockets of polarity…repulsed to the core—yet feeling that there's got to be something more ….dear stumblers onto one of life's deepest secrets ---that the thing that seems to be the very thing that could never be ---may just prove itself to be the one thing that you absolutely need…..…and in the still of the night—providence opens up your eyes and shows you the only sight that you will ever need to see –from now till the end of eternity—simply because it is what completes you…it's what intrigues you it's what seeks you out in everything you do …it will never leave you until it conceives inside of you the knowing that it is the other side of who you are…maybe it's not too far away to pray that these poems will help you to begin seeing how this vital lesson is at the core of your being
UNLEASHED
*underneath the happenings
in between the words
inside of the interactions
there are found
sparks of hidden light
and only with the sight
of one who sees more
than that which meets the eye
can one see
the essence
of reality
the heart beat
the soul speak
the way things
are meant to be seen
and this type of seeing
actually creates reality
actually reveals
the unfolding Divine story
in all of it's glory
*and there is nothing more real
than the feeling that you feel
when you unleash a Light
that's been hidden
since the beginning of time
that comes unhinged from
a restricted state of mind
and like diamonds unearthed from a mine
your will now see how the unleashed light
will shine until the end of time
THEY INVOKE POLARITY
**they invoke polarity;
a oneness
with their differences
fully intact
a constant tension
that keeps them
coming back
for more
**they invoke polarity;
it brings out their essence
it brings out their desire
it lights them on fire
it digresses them
it obsesses them
it enmeshes them
in each other
**they invoke polarity;
She says A
He says B
She says "Hey, I get what you say'
He says ''Now I see the way you see''
And they've been doing this thing all the time
And even when they're speaking completely different things
They are making the most exquisite rhyme
All the time
And personally- I think It's a sure sign
Of some amazing times
We are all stepping into
When 1 and 1 isn't really two
But rather a whole new way
To view
the things we do
POLAR OPPOSITES
Not in a million years
Were the words
That went through his mind
The first time
He saw her
Polar opposites
Never the twain shall meet
But there was something
That didn't leave him alone
And followed him around
Inside and out
Everywhere he would go
And now , he's driven to seek out
The love that magnetizes
The soft light that hypnotizes
And the lesson internalizes
When he's consciously mesmerized
And that's when he realized
That she is his other half
And he's baffled to the core
And every day he sees more and more
That there is nothing greater to strive for
And the deepest story
That we can possibly know
Is when our other half
Shows herself to us
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
POEMS OF PARADOX
Dear highers and lowers and fasters and slowers and stoppers and goers and hiders and show-ers
And knowers and not knowers….paradox is the password…it's the only way to get from here to there---in a world where attaching to one side alone will paralyze you…will stifle you ..will minimize you…but when you set in motion paradoxical notions—then the mountains and the oceans will go to bat for you…will show where it's at for you …will point you in a direction that's based on your inner predilection –though it may make no sense to your linear minded friends---but it's really the only way to find your way home…let's hope these poems help us to find our way home
VISIONS OF A PARADOXICAL PARADISE
**and the higher soul
intertwined
with the lower soul
in a harmonious flow
and the more they
simultaneously grow
the more they each
get to know
when to control
and when to let go
**and our body and soul
will only have only
one thing
that they'll want
to know,
"Please reveal to us
Your supernal glow"
not too high
not too low
It'll be the greatest show
nothing else comes close
this--- we will all know''
**and just as the sea
comes to rest
at the shore
and just as
the lion
and the lamb
cuddle up
on the garden floor
so too will
my brightest side
light up
my darkest side
forever more
and so too will the tree
of knowing
and the tree of life
unlock all the doors
**and when we slip
into Paradise
forever
and a day
there will be
only one thing
left to say,
"All praise be
to the One
who set us free
for all of eternity"
ANCIENT NEWNESS
**we are a people
born into families
of ancient roots
seeking constantly to be born
**Atik Yomin
the oldest thing
gives rise
to brand new
life
**We live in a land
that's old and new
paradoxical sunrise
breath-taking view
**every family
has a martyred legacy
giving us the courage
to become a whole new entity
**primordial stirrings
stream through our blood
and the end is
planted in the beginning
**a people so weather-worn
so been there-done that
yet
relentlessly
willing to start
again and again
**archetypal memories
prophetic history
leading us to
somehow
rise up and be
the light
to the world
that we are
destined to be
**and the holy tongue
the DNA of reality
planted in the
texture of all that is
reframes itself
into re-creating
all that comes into being
**and the ancient
and the new
presents itself
to me and you if we allow it to
SOULS OF CHAOS
*for some people
this life can never be enough
they've tasted a higher light
they've feasted their eyes
on another place and time
*they spend their whole lives
fighting off the mediocrity and lies
the law and order
because they know
that they can never reduce their lives
to just fitting in
*for some people
this life can never
be enough
the vessels
that satisfy
the desires
of everyone else
suffocate them
they've seen
broader horizons
they've tasted
unlimited enticements
*they spend their entire lives
rebeling against the staus quo
and when they find that there's
nowhere for them to go
they retreat
to the other side
to the chaos lights
to live a life
no one else dares
to live
*for some people
this life can never
be enough
and they scare
anyone
who dares
get in their way
and they spend
the rest of their days
either locked up
or in a self imposed exile
no other lifestyle
will do
*and in the end of days
these souls of chaos
will show their faces
more and more
and will lead us
through a door
we've never opened before
and the more we
listen to who they truly are
the more we will learn
to recognize the rare light
that these chaos souls
will bring into our
lives
THE CURIOUS EFFECT OF PERCEPTION
[and other strange and interesting causes and effects]
perception locks in manifestation
predilection invites like-minded effects
subjective seeing attracts objective reality
intended declaration transforms reality
co-creation attracts miracles
sharing love perpetuates a love filled world
intention elevates action
reading life's sacred text steers reality's outcomes
great artists create a world in the mind and on the ground
brilliant Torah causes reality
wise choices give rise to desired life stories
bridge people connect otherwise unbridgeable phenomena
imaginative re-interpretation sets in motion brave new worlds
a life well lived gives rise to eternal bliss
belief in divine providence draws down divine guidance
openness to paradox reveals a world of poetic wholeness
thinking good enables seeing goodness
subjective purity draws down objective holiness
one's allness inspires other's allness
living inside the sacred TIMES invites a world full of healing
awareness of unseen subtle beings invites a tour of wonderland
walking in between the raindrops opens the portal to the mystic
mmm-ing [mystical musical meditating] channels mystical actualization
paradise-ing one's life enables one to return to the Garden
Seeing with the Eyes of G-d elicits compassion and Tikun Olam
POEMS ABOUT THE UNFOLDING JOURNEY
Dear fellow passengers on this endless non stop flight through the natural unfolding of your destinies….trust the unfolding—dear life long travelers ….enjoy the ride…and know that each subsequent adventure leads you to even better places ultimately….the scenery is so splendid when you know this simple recipe……take a lot of photographs…send me one or two…I'll be there side by side with you…on my own journey---fueled by polarity …inspiring the constant next destination to see….greetings from the edge of bigger and better ways to be….let's hope the poetry can show us how to travel freely and easily
THE FALL GIVES WAY TO THE RISING
the fall gives way to the rising
the edge gives way to the greener grass on the other side
the darkness gives way to the dawning of a new day
the suspicion gives way to the unconditional trust the constriction gives way to the expansion the fear gives way to the undying love it's the way of the world, it just is:
PUT YOURSELF ON A PATH
**Put yourself on a path.
Know that you are going somewhere
because you have a vision.
You are projecting your ideal reality
You are moving in that direction
You don’t have to worry about it.
You are on automatic pilot
You are already at your destination.
**G-d is slowly
but surely
opening up the reality
y and manifesting
what you have pictured,
**You don’t necessarily
have to
be the one
in control,
moving and manipulating
the controls.
**G-d is doing that for you
ON THE EDGE
***on the edge
you will find the way
to another place
to another day
***on the edge of the setting sun
the perennial cowboy
shows you
how it's done
the harmony
of man and beast
and time slowly passes by
as he leads you
underneath a canopy
star-filled night time sky
***on the edge of the ocean
a virgin land
beckons to be explored
***on the edge of consciousness
a voice long forgotten
leaves an impression
of days gone by
*** on the edge of sleep
you can fly
you can traverse
time and space
***on the edge of love
you can still choose
to lose yourself
in love
or to walk the tight-rope
of wait and see
***on the edge of birth
the last vestiges
of the womb cocoon
whisper to you
to never forget
what you learned
EVEN IF IT DOESN'T SEEM THAT WAY
**After the night
There always comes the day
**At the end of the tunnel
There is this light
That shines the darkness away
**and you can teach
your eyes to see
how ultimately
despite all the negavity
how things come out
just the way they're meant to be
**and all that He does
He does for the good
even if it doesn't seem that way
even if it seems like
you're surely blind
to see things any other way
but with a little bit of hindsight
you'll find
that every single time
things work out
the best way they could possibly be
**and even if it seems like it was
you who made it come out that way
in the bad choices that you made
and the mistaken words that you said
you will ultimately realize
that the ultimate truth
is that it was He
who was doing it through you
and it was the best thing tfor you
for the sake of all that you must go through
and all I can tell you
is that even if it doesn't seem that way
--please hear these words that I say
because one day you will look back and see
that it couldn't have come out
any better way
A FEW POEMS ABOUT LIFE'S HIDDEN RESERVOIRS
Dear secret agents of life's hidden reservoirs…inner volcanic outpourings spewing waves of fire from the mountain tops of consciousness –all the way down to the shores of articulation ----with no sensible explanations why ---and your eyes are two shining question marks and life's hidden intonations implode in your imagination—from sea to shining sea of the person you're trying to be….and don't believe me---go see for yourself ---how life can sometimes drag you off of her dust-filed shelves –and send you on the ride of your life ---intertwined with the elixir of life…maybe some poems can help make sense of this cosmic chatter ….batter up….
THE ELIXIR OF LIFE
the elixir of life
the sweetness of knowing
expresses itself in
the aura surrounding your being
showing yourself to the world
daring to show your
inner transparency
just because you know
that this 'knowing'
is your destiny
'and your legacy
Don't worry
let the words flow freely
they really take on
a life of their own
you do not own them
nor
do they own you
they are just passing through
through a vessel
they feel they know
through a being of light
that lights up
life with the gift of
knowing
EMERGENCE
emergence
out of the blue
living a life
that you were meant
to
live
a vivid vision
struggling to be born
like a baby hawk
waiting to soar the skies
effortlessly gracefully
it was meant to be
new dimensions
approached with
the most cautious intentions
as he takes flight
awaiting to be born
since the beginning of time
and the time has come for him
so open the gates and let him in
emergence
nothing can hold him back now
he has been waiting
for lifetimes
and more
to open this locked door
and set them free
and allow them to be
the beings
they were meant to be
since the beginning of time
and this time
they will all succeed
and he and they emerge
from a world of potential
from a world of dreams
and now it seems
that no deterrence
can stand in the way
of their bold emergence
DIVINE SYMPHONY
**the messages come to him
in between the lines
signs of synchronicity
intricate silhouettes
of multi-dimensional velocities
guiding him
exactly
to where
he needs to be
and the deeper
he goes within
the more he sees
that all that was once
hidden from him
shines from within
and guides him
to the place he
was meant to be
until he can clearly see
that there is nothing
but the One
since the genesis
of reality
and the more
that you listen
with total receptivity
to the knowing voice
that speaks constantly
to you and me
the more you will hear and see
the unfolding
of the Divine symphony
in sublime harmony
playing the melody
of the Divine One
guiding us
constantly
eternally
