SPIRIT WORLD



The Spirit World
Lo, all about
Now comes
With a sweeping rush--
Through the night tides chill
And the mornings dove trill
Saffron robes flowing at dusk!
Murmuring voices throng
Down a hallway long
In billowing gossimer glide
As stairways creak
And tapered walls speak
In a cryptic note
How they moan!
From marbled darkness
Rising souls flee
In a moment of glee
With Spirit wings—See them fly~
Through a numinous night
On an orange-tinged flight
From the lingering
Pull of the tomb.

GIVE UP THE MONEY GAME!



Someday there will come a time
In the money game we play
When the urge for collecting cash
Will shrival fast away
When social classes dwindle
No hint of rich or poor
Everyone will help each other
And the bank will close its door
When the world is all one country
Without barriers or fear
And weapons will be melted
Into a plow we all can share
When all can travel freely
Of nationality not one sign
No need for making green cards
In governmental red tape lines...
No real estate for the privileged
Or special care for the few
No need for tax loopholes
That the clever can fall through
In the sunlight of this new dawn
We will cast out this meme of greed
Let go of the virus of selfishness
And heal the fear of need!
Many blessings possibility thinkers!

REALITY SQUARED

The infinite circle
The reach of the mind
The meaning of life
The arrow of time
The end of the road
The soul that we save
The luckier person
The rest in the grave
The highest achiever
The lowest IQ
The species that’s smarter
The life that we’re due
The pick of the litter
The best of the best
The most gifted artist
The taste of success
The fastest sprinter
The slowest of all
The reason for winning
The distance we fall
The pride that we cherish
The beauty we boast
The maker of magic
The year that we toast
The cleverest liar
The one who got away
The king of the world
The prices we pay
Are all whimsical fancy
Of measurements mind
O’er make believe thinking
And yesterdays wine.
