JUNE 2022 - 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
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
I WANT TO HEAR YOUR VOICE
***I want to hear your voice I want to hear how the words dance off of your tongue like a song that is sung by all who hear the magic tones
***I want to hear your voice I want to hear how the thoughts in your head navigate instead due south and become the words of your mouth
***I want to hear your voice I want to hear how the colors that you dwell in will give voice to your silence until you tell all your deepest mysteries in quintessential harmonies
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

THE SOUL SINGS ALWAYS
*** *The soul sings always
she knows not of higher of lower
of ready of not ready
and when we listen closely
than we can sing along a never ending song
*** *The soul sees primal light at all hours of day and night
she allows in unfiltered infinite love
and when we see what she sees
at the very least we'll always be able
to see a glimpse of ecstasy
*** *The soul is always engaged in holy discourse
and the messages she constantly shares
and when we speak from the soul
we can reveal the deepest secrets
of why we are where we are
and where we can go from here
*** *The soul is at one with the Holy One
at all times in all ways
and when we turn our attention completely to the ratzo vshov
to the to and fro
oscillation of the soul's divine illumination
then we will see clearly
that every situation that life sends our way
is the best possible place that we can be
A FEW POEMS ABOUT GRABBING THAT RARE MOMENT
Dear fellow recognizers of that rare once in a lifetime moment----that explosive time that can transform your entire life…that opportunity that comes along once in a blue Moon----sooner or later peeks out at you and with a mischievous look in it's eye, whispers to you—''Hey, how would like to give it a try?"----and actually it's a do or die offer –and if you refuse---you lose—or to put it in a nicer way—you—by default—choose to live out your days in a monotonous way----so don't let it slip away---a few poems may help you realize a new way to see such rare opportunities
YOU WERE CREATED FOR THIS
****and those rare moments
when the words pour out of you
faster than you can imagine
and you have to say your peace
and you are on the verge of tears
and you cannot stop absolutely not
because it is for these rare moments
that you have been waiting all your life
you were created for this
and all the connections
are made
and all of the
mind's referential processes
and associative intensiveness
have been waiting for these
rare moments
****and the love
comes pouring
out of you too
like the ancient desert
dried up river bed
that fills up in all of it's ancient glory
with the winter flood
it is the most glorious sight
and when we are gifted with a visit
of one of these rare moments
we must not lose a drop
because--who knows--
perhaps it is this
that we and the Universe
and everyone we know
have been waiting for
from time immemorial
AND TODAY WE DARE TO START LIVING
**and we've been pretending
that life
waits
around the corner
hiding
waiting
patiently
in some dark
corner
of our being
**and if you're seeing
what I'm seeing
and if you're feeling
what I'm feeling
then take my hand
and I'll lead you
on a journey
across this land
of opportunity
if you dare
**and we fearlessly
leap into the unknown
and let go
and give it over
to The One
and dare
to trust the process
**and I dare
and you dare
to let go
of these habitual
chains
of these
same old games
**and today
we decide
to start living
A NEW BEGINNING
a new beginning
a new process unfolds
Grab the opportunity
to elevate your reality
and dedicate the beginning
of this new beginning
to the One
who with the power
of Beginning
Created All
without a flaw
and you will find
that from the beginning
till the end
this new beginning
will be the holiest
thing you've ever
set your eyes on
and so it goes
for all of those
who dare to see
that when they free
all their beginnings
into becoming holy beings
then they will be
partners with HE
who spoke
and the world came into being
A FEW POETIC IMAGES OF THE DEEPNESS OF LIFE
Dear deep sea divers….fully aware alivers ….seekers of a truth that penetrates this deceptive world of liars….impassioned desire-ers of deeper explanations ..of mind blowing interpretations…. of the pnimiyus soulful essence of life …don't ever fall into the abyss of the hum drum…life has so much more in store for some……..especially you-- –my beloved believers in the preciousness of a smile or a word or a feeling … …with you –I recover the enthusiasm of my youth…for you—I share my poetic truth
AND A CLOCK ON THE WALL SPOKE TO HER TODAY
***she moved through her day
just like she's moved through
so many days before
***no one and no thing
seemed to be different or unusual today
***she walked by a window on the path
and saw her reflection
and stopped and she saw___
***she saw beneath the reflection
that she reflects to the world
she saw beneath the image
that dominates her imagination
she saw beneath the limitations
that limit her comings and goings
***and a clock on the wall
spoke to her today
in a way that it had never done before
and she knew now that her time
and her soul now had a new motivation
a new realization full of urgency
and inspiration
***and every step
she now took on the road of life
was her first and her last never to be repeated
and she would never again be defeated
by the monotony
because she discovered the mystery
and the eternity
of every breath
and every sight
and every thought
EYES
open your eyes
to someone else's eyes
see their eyes seeing
see their eyes being
mesmerized tantalized
by the mystery
playing itself out
just behind their eyes
in the space
where perception
meets conception
in the space
that the light
highlights intention
open your eyes
and realize
that your eyes
are the windows
of your soul
showing you
what you know
and don't yet know
showing you
that your desires
are revealed inside
your eyes
for anyone
who has eyes
to see
INSIDE OF A SMILE
inside of a smile
is a world of supernal joy
inside of an embrace
is a world of endless love
inside of a glance
is a world of the wisest foresight
inside of a decision
is a world of crystal clear clarity
inside of a feeling
is a world of heart-filled wisdom
A FEW POEMS SEEKING TO TAP INTO CREATIVE
INSPIRATION AND GENIUS
***dear fellow pursuers of true creative inspiration and genius…we step into a time of creative being ….and in the depth of each and every one of us lies a unique creative voice that waits to be tapped…please speak to me from your creative essence...please speak to me from your emotional essence........please speak to the world from your allness.....please speak ----the masters of speech and feelings and creativity await your precious words----know that they will be heard on high and in the lives of all those passing by your articulations-----your essence soul heart creative speak will awaken those soul family relatives in a relatively profound way---so please let us all hear what you have to say------let's hope and pray--- that these poetic offerings can begin to tap into that voice inside
I WANT TO HEAR YOUR VOICE
***I want to hear your voice
I want to hear how the words
dance off of your tongue
like a song that is sung
by all who hear the magic tones
***I want to hear your voice
I want to hear how the thoughts
in your head navigate instead due south
and become the words
of your mouth
***I want to hear your voice
I want to hear how the colors
that you dwell in
will give voice
to your silence
until you tell
all your deepest mysteries
in quintessential harmonys
HE ALLOWS IN THE DEEPER FEELINGS
***he allows in the deeper feelings
once in a whilethe reds and blues
take on a deeper hue
***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 life is compassionate
and the sweetness hovers over him
and he falls into a dream
and he sees that what he sees
becomes his reality
and what he hears is right here
and where he wants to go
surrounds him immediately
*** and the masters of wisdom
that come into his mind
come and sit down by his side
and reassure him
that all will be just fine -
and he turns around and sees
an ancient eye peeking through the sky
staring him in his eye
and he knows that the love he lives
and the life he loves
will continue to be eternal…
***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
SPEAK TO ME
***speak to me from your allness
speak to me from your silence
speak to me from your heart
speak to me of things you've seen
speak to me of hopes that you've hidden away
***speak to me until the words unravel
speak to me from a deeper level
speak to me of your profound insights
speak to me of your hidden desires
speak to me from the recesses of your subconscious
***speak your way into consciousness
speak to me words and flashes of brilliance
speak to me of as yet undiscovered dimensions
speak to me in wave-lengths of timeless soul-ing
speak to me of your unmistakable knowing covered dimensions
speak to me in wave-lengths of timeless soul-ing
speak to me of your unmistakable knowings
STEP INSIDE
*step inside of your innermost-ness
peel away the layers
*strip away the façade you 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 rooms
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
THE SECRET ESSENCE OF CREATIVENESS
dear seekers of the creative experience ....chasers of the essentials that are bringing into being a whole new way of seeing ....creativity unplugged ...ecstasy revealed at it's core -----so that the seekers of new ways of doing it ...novel approaches to feeling it ...ingenuity crossing over into brand new dimensions ...and the words and music never stop coming.....let the poetry explain what I am straining to say
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
WHAT'S THE SECRET OF CREATIVITY?
**What's the secret of a creativity?
when created so profoundly
that it carries on infinitely
**a creation so bold
that it never grows old
**a creative spark
that lights up all hearts
who are blessed to see
how it defies entropy
and how it remains
for posterity
**a pro-creation
that turns two into one
and one into two
a secret known
to only the chosen few
**a re-creation
that turns two into four
and so many more
**a co-creation
that fuses with the Holy One
and elevates
all that that's done
**What's the secret of creativity?
Only the chosen few
can feast on the holy dew
and the Atik Yomin
until it will all be seen
and seen by all
and creativity's secret
will be revealed
with the Messianic call
WHEN YOU STUDY THE CREATOR'S WAYS
**When you study
the Creator's ways
you may see whole new ways of being
and whole new ways of tapping into your heart,
soul and mind
**you might find a stairwayto Heaven
a cosmic pathway to see
in an ever-increasing way
that all there really is is His Majesty surrounded by bliss
**you might find
that every new step you set out on
in life is one step closer to a place
and time where all will be
in perfect harmony
**you might find
that seeing the end
right from the start
will open up a path
for you to walk
though a path
that will effortlessly
unfold itself for you
**you might find
that constriction
is really the key
to expansion
---an expansion
that allows you to see reality
in it's fullness
in it's allness
**you might find
that time
takes on
a whole new meaning
intriguing your essential being
when the past
and the future
and the present
converge
and surge you
to a sublime
primal place
above space
and time
**you might find
that in every breath
you take
and in every move
you make
an inner voice
is guiding the way
until that glorious day comes
where His Name
will be One
THE POETRY OF THE CREATIVITY OF SONG
Dear songsters….dear never go wrongsters….song is in the air …song is everywhere song is where you let it in …and when you do ---you can see through the hard shell of of songlessness….and once you've tasted this---you will long for the sacred song ---the song that bespeaks your soul--- the song that will guide you where to go…..that song that will never go away---that song that illuminates the way---through the chaos and confusion…that song will eliminate all the illusions that spin around in your head…that song will raise you from the dead ---and will sing the story of your life instead and will saturate your whole being and lead you to the tunnel's end ---so listen closely to this song poetry and maybe you will
come to hear your inner voice that is trying to set you free and then come to see that your soul and all of reality is singing to you constantly ….eternally
LISTEN TO YOUR VOICE
*** listen to your voice
whispering to you in between the lines
the lines of wasted words
not allowing to be heard
the ever-so-subtle messages
of the Divine
fusing with your voice
in between the lines
***listen to your voice
begging you to speak out
what's really on your mind
not that actor reading the lines
while this true voice of mine
just gets drowned out
time after time
***listen to your voice
that overflowing resonation
that channeled inspiration
that heart and soul articulation
struggling to teach you the truth
of who you are
and what you must do
if you only could move aside
and let the One Above
speak through you
SING YOUR SONG ABOUT LIFE
*sing your song about life
raise up your voice
and let your heart speak
of all of the ups and downs
and smiles and frowns and a thousand nuances
that only you notice all around you
and articulate the truths and lies
the laughter and sighs that will be expressed
in your masterpiece song about life
*sing your song about humanity
raise up your voice
and let your heart speak freely
of all of the paupers and Kings
and wars and peace
and a thousand nuances
that only you can see all around you
and articulate the hopes and frustrations
the deceptions and frustrations
the beauty and insanity
that will be expressed in your masterpiece
song about humanity
sing your song about Creation
raise up your voice
and let your heart speak with elation
of all of the wonders and miracles
that the Holy One has planted
into the fabric of reality
and everything that you
hear and see
let them come alive freely
with a thousand nuances
of divine synchronicity
that only you can notice
because you are
the one to give voice
and you therefore
have no choice
but to articulate
and celebrate
the awesomeness
of it all
and all that you will see
and all that you saw
that will be expressed
in your masterpiece
song about Creation
THE TUNNEL SONG
where did it all begin?
this drive inside
this drive
that makes him come alive
this drive that won't leave him alone
tonight
or any other night
a constant innovation
a non-stop beckoning for inspiration
what are the roots of all else that came after
what's driving him to the extent
that all else does not really matter
He recalls that mind altering sound
in the drainage tunnels at the edge of town
the colors, the laughter
the fear
that he may get caught
down here
that he'd be better off if he did not go
down here
but he doesn't care
because the sweetness hides
the need for fight or flight tonight
and leaves him craving for more
and so he walks out the door
and he's led
by an unconscious predilection
a voice barely audible
points him in the same direction
that he always winds up going
without ever knowing
why
but all he can do is sigh
and the tunnel light
burns so bright
into the night
into the eternal night
of his life
and he can't stop now
and he knows somehow
that he never will
and the tunnel song
is playing still
is playing still
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
THE NIMBA SONG
A young couple
in the jungle
sing to one another
the song of young lovers
a child is conceived
and this song
is the first thing
she hears
upon being
born into
this life
a song
protecting
this infant
from trouble and strife
a child grows up
with a song
cursing through
her veins
protecting her from the
cold and the rain
and when her time comes
to make her away
into the world of love
she will sing her song
to her chosen one
and they will conceive
and a brand new song-story has begun
and when her time
comes to let go of her life
the way that I've heard it described
is that the elders of the tribe
surround her all night long
and sing to her--- her special song
**When you study
the Creator's ways
you may see whole new ways of being
and whole new ways of tapping into your heart,
soul and mind
**you might find a stairwayto Heaven
