Dear Vishnu

you have been reborn quickly

it’s called the sky

of dreams

Trumping my Self


Other than Self-Awareness
Resurrection

There’s the Crucifixion of Belief—

let me tell you a story
my forgetful
millen

Unknowing Me


For the Isle of Patmos

Such concerns will disappear in Self-

awareness


Ikkyū Parties Like It's Fūryū 1984

The Artificial Revolution
will be Stream-lined for 
The Fortunes of Our Future!

But true poetry
documents the fūryū
revelation
Now.

For Saint Kerouac


Honoring the Samsaric
Suffering Past
with its Sacred Karmic
Qualities of ultimate

Protectorship!

Call it Seeing
With the Compassionate
Eyes of the Going

When Lilacs Last

Walking in the great spring Greening,
I’m struck by the fragrance of lilacs
and all of the Springs of the past
begin flowing through the mind.

Some of them have names
and I could lose myself
in any one of them but let
the ripples wash right past me—

so none of them are turning into
sucking psychic whirlpools;
instead intent is coloring
the air with self-awareness.

It’s an energy that cracks
the rocks and reaches with a green
hand towards the springtime
purity of sunshine.

And the dust it leaves
behind is like a lilac
talc for this newborn
unborn song of self.

firmament

although
there is no state of sky
there are countless states of clouds
and clouds riding clouds is like a hurricane—
let it sky

The Butterfly Genuflection

but what causes the butterfly to flap its wings?

and if there is free will, what drive gave birth to it?

so if evolution is the driving force, what’s the engine?

then if self-awareness is the pinnacle of evolution, is awareness then its vast foundation?

if awareness and self-awareness is alpha and omega, is the universe just reflection in a mirror?

Popular Nirvana

In the middle of a quiet Crystal Lake,
a sudden and chaotic fountain is born.
In the middle of a desert, dust devils!

As religion is established on the unknown,
science is founded on deconstructing the known.
Together they intone—I am the unknown.

And upon Awakening, the world
appears in consciousness.
Dreams evaporate in light.

Intent has buried God
and Intent is raising That Awareness
from the dead.

And the chorus is resounding,
raising Self-awareness
from the walking dead.

And contemporary scriptures chant,
forgive your zombies
for they know not what they do.

And the soloist is singing,
waves reflect the Sea
and the Sea reflects the Sky.

And so it is that Self-awareness
calms the Waters
of all Sons and of all Daughters.

Instructions for Sunshine


Like Writing to myself as if there is another.
All Insight is bigger than you think.
See it as it is and translate into love.

Being is unborn.
Body-mind is born in being.
You are what you identify as you.

The obvious sky is easily hidden
by the trick of water droplets
looking like a cloud.

There are no Superfluous gears.
Division solves for X
as the dream instructs.

And the Supremes sing You Can’t Hurry Love.

Like evolution is
the Manifest Destiny of self-awareness
and it never happened.

After the eyes open,
it takes a little time to see
I am the light.

The absolute unknown.
Neither nothing nor irony.
The magical reality of fire!

After the sun sees it is the sun,
there's nothing to do but shine,
sunshine.
