Meditation

February 21, 2012

Windy Day

August 4, 2011

Another windy day Whips up the dead leaves of my old life They swirl and flutter As if some trick of time Makes me believe Just for a second They are alive again But you see me You know things are not the same And you brush away the dust The wind throws in your [...]

July 19, 2011

Mind over body

September 14, 2010

My mind Is out of touch with My body Even here they are separated by a line My mind Above the line My body Below I remind my mind You wouldn’t be here Without my body My mind Does not care It tells me it is made up Yes, I say, I know But my body [...]

Unwittingly She touched me And something happened She saw something and touched it Something deep inside She touched it and It hurt So much It was an old, old wound And when she leaned in and touched it It bled But it never rains It pours It poured Out of my pores Out of everywhere [...]
