Meander Series #13 Hidden Moon
Wednesday, October 14, 2020
The time there are not two but three poems for you to read!
Meander with me, earth-bound star sprinkles! It's that time of the month. Not that time of the month. It's the time I display words for you to have a good jolly time reading, hopefully.Hah. Let us begin, then.
Poem: Hidden Moon
Cold, cold
Wet asphalt,
Slippery stones,
Drenched soils
Weighted foliage
Hidden moon
Heaving clouds
Hibernating cats
Singing toads
Pattering of
Tender rain
Dotted concrete
Rhythmic beat
Warm cave
Solitary retreat
Moving feet
Cozied up
Body insulated
Breezed by
A buzzing
Standing fan
Sheltered in
No
Man's land
Blanketed in
Sweet meditation
Shedding womb
Divinity in
The mundane
--
Reflections
Nature in all of her immensity holds all kinds of contrasting beauty, from the most humble barely-noticed foliage to the gigantic mountain that looms and shocks us with its stark protrusion extending high up into the cloud-dotted dreamy blue. The human mind can concoct the most beautiful of thoughts and be the breeding ground of ugliness in its lack-based grappling state. Nothing can be enough and everything is never enough. Have you sensed this in your observation? Have you let go into the space where thinking drops, aliveness comes to peek through?

Poem: Right Here By Me
No where to go
Nothing to be
Not that I have to leave
I'm right here by me
No reason for anything
No desire for company
I'm just being, well
Being me
Thought I had to be
In motion
Not necessarily
I do love to dance
Swaying my hips
Side to side
Feeling the spirit
Soar in delight
What a sensation
--
Poem: Present
Nowhere to go
But be here
With me
No place
To rush to
But be right
Where I am,
Completely
No faces
To fill the
Mental crevices
Just myself
Nestling
In the stillness
Cocooned in
The warmth
Of the
Present moment
Even when an
Impression
Resembling
A known face
Lingers
Tenderly like
A wispy cloud
It disperses
A feeling
Surfaces
And then
Recedes
A thought takes form
Before I know it
Long gone
A contraction
Behind the eyes
Lifted
