New operating system desperately needed
Current program only runs when praised
Avoids all responsibility

Weapon of Last Resort

I’ve been too long armed and dangerous
Taking deadly aim at threats in range
It’s time to heed the wisdom chorus
Time to contemplate some change
Hothouse Compassion

To cultivate vast compassion I must
Shatter the fogged withholding glass
And venture smiling out into the garden
To tend the prickly and the crass
In the Flow

The breath, the breather and the breathing
Boundaries fuzzier than softest fur
Merged in flood flow of compassion
Praise be to the beneficial blur!
Breathing the News

Cabled to the constant feed of nightmare
Frightened faces and hate-filled voices
Hard to watch without yielding to despair
Without reaching for the remote my only choice
To end a dilemma I can hardly bear
Waking Up in Three Acts

The curtain rises on my class act, premiere in every way
I’m riding high, talented and entertaining
With commanding voice and presence
And very important things to say
The Truth of Emptiness
Posted in Getting Over Me poetry collection (Dharma), tagged Buddhist poetry, compassion, delusion, Dharma poetry, emptiness, womb on October 30, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
Empty, empty, empty
Empty of distortion
Empty of I, me, my, mine
Not permanent, not nothing
Remembering the Pines

Memory treads the needled bed under cathedral pines
How towering deep the pillowed hush
Loon Tune

Trilling weave of birdcall and moonlight
Glides on shivered lake to my shore
WELCOME!
