The Stage of Life

Emerging
Through a crack in the mask
Is Life’s full potential
Striving to break through
Beyond a persona
Wandering in shadows

The One that I AM
When finally knowing
I AM One
With the ONE

Walking in a field
As if in a dream.

A bird sings a love song
So new, so sweet,
Ushering in spring
As the sun warms
Your cold, bare feet.

Greetings, My Friend
```
     Today
This hand
Reached out

You withdrew
Unwilling
To stretch your hand
Across the chasm
Of time and change

     Widening

Perseid Meteor Showers

Leaving the glare of city lights,
We drove on dusty mountain roads
Into valleys, over passes,
Up and down, winding and climbing,
Far above, then past the river
That carved this part of the world.

To be dealt with as we will.

A new life’s door is before us,
Yet we open yesterdoor
Without thought
In the habit of our ways.

Remember the Love

Cherish all the tender warmth
Of small, thoughtful considerations
Shared in moments of joy and sorrow.

Yet be thankful for overcoming the bad,
Always seeking extended periods

Acquiring the knowledge
Necessary to live
As the enlightened ones
They will someday become

The River of Forgetfulness

Releasing worn out opinion
And popular cancerous thought.
