“The time has been reached”
```
The time has been reached,
The limit surpassed,
For the games of old
Reoccur at last.

You try so hard,
Though you’ve failed before
To bridge the stream
And open the door.

Empty Garden

Yesterday, the thought, if imaginable,
Would have been quickly dismissed.
Yet today, I know and can feel
A complete Emptiness in my head;
And at this moment, begin to wonder
Whether I should attempt to fill it
With something new and meaningful.

Paths I, iii

                
Notice the solely unique in each,
   For the preciousness of every one
   Is special and rare, a beauty
   To behold in the noonday sun;
As pebbles along the shore reach
   Out, hoping to hear another call. . .
      An individual striving for name,
      To be part of the whole, yet free,
      Quite different though of the same.
   The unity shared before the fall
Is ours to feel, learn and teach. . .
   Seeing One in many, large in small,
   We grow to find the ALL in ALL.

Innocence Revisited

The crumbling of our protective walls
Leaves us standing innocently naked,
Opened to Love, vulnerable,
And immersed solely in the moment;
No yesterdays and no tomorrows,
Only the Indefinable, Eternal Now.

Feeling the flower grow,
We suddenly approach God,
Becoming One.

Ethereal Love
```
Wherever I go,
It remains so. . .
    At my side
    You walk,
    In my mind
    We talk.

“The black walnut tree”

The black walnut tree
Stands in majestic silence
Awaiting winter

Knowing that the falling leaves
Protect its fallen seed fruit

Today – Tomorrow
```
   Today

Can I totally relate
    My inner feelings
    And experiences
To You?

I think not,
But I must try. . . .
