126  “Fog Whisper Wanderer”

A ship named Desire sails on Swashbuckler Bay,

it’ s clenched iron fist hull slaps the wave smirks away.

A wild sea stallion ship bucks Captain Tomorrow,

as he tries to outrun life’s sea squall of sorrow.

He surpasses the speed of umbilical knots,

while inner demons chart navigational plots.

The quivering siren’s song undulates the sail,

but his glare knocks them breathless, their rosy cheeks pale.

Fruitless searching his reward, the bounty his strife,

the powerful yearning, overpowers his life.

He writes epic odyssey on every wave,

a master of legend, he will sail past his grave.

He glides on the whirl winds, where Eternity’s fly,

seeker of silver quests, shrugs off Death’s wanton cry.

His flesh sizzles to spirit, the salt bleaches his bone,

dream winds billow the sail, desiccated boards groan.

Taut scrimshawed knuckles now grasp a ghost ship wheel.

While his immortal heart edifies the keel.

An albatross cries out, misfortune on the wing,

then rising from the deep, dead sailors murmuring.

He cursed at Death’s jealousy and then at Life’s greed,

then sailed towards the horizon, approaching God’s speed.

A questing free sprit, who is locked with the sea,

ever searching for the lost continent of destiny.

dark night,
heavy breeze.

touching all over,

bending trees.

across the
way,
stray dog…

on the phone
when i pass
by,
mountain in
the distance.

fog so close,
running
free-

deers’ antlers
knocking into
branches…

Wake
Wake Up
Awaken
Are you still sleeping?
How do we distinguish sleep from wake?
And with what totem?
Are you certain?

Is life not but a dream anyways
Are we not Sailors in the waterfall of life
Sailing merrily merrily down the stream of
Conscious
Thoughts create the world
Be mindful of them
We must be careful when we play voyeurs
For focus determines reality
What you put into the pot is what comes out
Do you like the taste?
What ingredients did you use?
And what cap would you like to wear?
Does it Fit?
As the abyss glances back to look at you
What do you want the mirror, mirror, on the wall to say?

And who are you?
A primate?
Another one of the Homo sapiens milling around the concrete jungle
Lost inside the big Toys R’ Us
The Ego…………….Bahhhh
A social institution, a product of pathology, an illusion
And you’re the magician
The ego, cute little white bunny
Can you put it back into the hat?
Can you make it disappear?

It’s better to snorkel
Submerge into yourself
Where the water is Still
You know the whole bit
You’ve always been here
And You always will be
Everything, Everyone, Every thought
It’s YOU, The Great Mystery, The Forever Now

And there is nothing to fear
Nothing to Fear
The gentle are fearless
Be fearless and gentle
Delight in the Moment
Every moment
It’s a Musical
The Forever Symphony
Dance
Sing
Laugh
Run
Write
Paint
Wiggle like Nature
Always, and Everywhere
Continuously
Be Children
Jump up and down on
The bedrock of a healthy soul

Life is so precious
So much to be cheerful for
You are
Perfect
Beautiful
Amazing
No one is Smarter than you
The answers are inside
Everything is where it is suppose to be
And there is so much to do
Some much to learn
No time to be sad
Know time is NOW
No time like now
Fall in Love with yourself
The real Self
Love Life
Plant seeds of Love
And Delight in her Garden

Awake
Awaken
Awaken to Life
