Contemplating fear and being alive…
Never More Alive
Adrenalin’s breath
Never more alive than now
Nearly scared to death

Waking From
Contemplating foolishness and epiphany…
Waking From
As if from a dream
Waking from ego’s folly
Once again redeemed

Ring any bells? Let us know what you think…
It Will Happen
Contemplating purpose…
It Will Happen
It’s happened before
And it will happen again
Need new worlds before
Moons and Dinosaurs
Or we roll the dice
Moons and dinosaurs attest
Do we go for thrice?

About Justice
Contemplating loss…
About Justice
A baby passes
I wonder about justice
And the randomness of how the fates will press
Themselves in upon the quiet lives of the masses
These are not questions
That will bear any good fruit
Only descending into dark depression
Or maybe worse spiraling off into delusion
Chosen for higher pursuit
Is a temptation
Dangerous clashes
Driven by those called to test
The limits of fate then forgetting about justice
No, it is just sad when a baby passes

Truths Streaming
Contemplating reality and our role in it…
Truths Streaming
Our realities ponder
The training
Is that backwards? Which way are the truths streaming?
These some of the strange paths upon which my thoughts wander
We create
Ourselves thru the drills
And we are what happens on the other side
Or is it the other way round that decides?
The training develops itself thru us when it fills
Us with trained reactions that do not abate
Over time and leagues yonder
Is that backwards? Which way are the truths streaming?
Or is it reality’s simply feigning?
I wonder

In the World
Contemplating enlightenment…
In the World
Wind blows in my face
And not a care in the world
Moments of true grace

One Hand Clapping
Contemplating wonder…
One Hand Clapping
When the truth you’ve found
The sound of one hand clapping
Is the most profound

Lonely Spirits
Contemplating the wonder of love and nature…
Lonely Spirits
A cool running stream
Refreshes lonely spirits
See you in my dreams

The Sword Cuts
Contemplating life, death, and the struggle…
The Sword Cuts
The sword cuts
And I die
The ending’s abrupt
No wondering why
Triumph is near
Look at history
Cleansed of fear
Death can be victory
Life opens and shuts
Doomed from the crib
The sword cuts
And I live

About the Whys
Contemplating love and the falling in…
Excerpted from – About the Whys
Looking into pain filled eyes
I want to run but cannot
When she smiles I’ve just one thought
And the same as when she cries
Oh I’m in trouble…
