View From Above

Tiny specks 
across the land
mingled with 
the desert sand

The majestic peaks 
spread far and wide
From my viewpoint
they cannot hide

Plots of earth
carved out so neat
Look so uniform
from my seat

From my perch
above the clouds
The beauty before me
speaks clear and loud

I can almost 
see eternity
As I gaze at
the landscape 
before me

Endless Loop

I read and reply
Adrenaline rush
I get my fix

So many poems

So little time

I read 

and reply
and read
and reply
and read
and reply

The endless loop 
in my head
goes on
and on
and on

begin

I must
read all
and reply
end loop;

Quick!

Another fix
Read and reply
Read and reply

Why oh why

must I try
to read all
and reply

Obsession

Compulsion
leads to
Regret
Revulsion

Intoxicating

Enamoration
I long
for the 
words
on the screen
to speak
to me
over and over

I want to 

STOP
But I don't
want to
STOP
all the 
madness

I

just
want 
my 
fix

Read 

and 
reply
until 
I die

I must

try to
stay
ALIVE

Splendor

I see 
the possibility 
of all that is to come
I smell
the freshness
of a brand new day
I taste
the sweetness
of love in my heart
I feel
the fabric
of my everlasting soul
I hear 
the gong
calling me home

I sense
the awakening
rising from the Earth.
I hope for 
Peace
pouring softly from the sky
I speak
the truths
whispered in my ear
I listen
carefully for
the beating of the drum
The ancient heartbeat
to unite us all
as One


I have 
Faith 
that Prophecies 
will come to pass
I will
Rise
higher than 
the Sun
To be
transformed 
into 
Pureness and Light
To see
my Spirit
in all its 
Splendor
Instead of
through a glass darkly

The Full Moon of Our Love

The moon is shining bright and full tonight,
Enclosed in a misty halo of light.
The soft clouds are drawn to it,
Surrounding its fullness like a shield.
The moon and clouds stand together
        in stillness like a dream,
In their own world of light and
        shadow in the dark sky.

As I see the fullness of the moon,
I am filled with my love for you.
The halo of light is like a guardian of our love.
The misty clouds protect the dream world
         we enjoy together.
We will always be joined with the moon,
Its ever changing shapes, sizes and colors
         a reflection of our love.

When we are apart, it will link us
         through the distance;
And when we are near to each other,
It will bring us even closer in our hearts.
As the moon is ever present, even when unseen,
So will our love be.
As long as the moon stands in the sky,
Our love will never die.

Love is Like The Moon

Love shines white and clear
As the moon upon the darkest night,
And stands out for those
Who take the time to look for it.

Its shapes are ever changing,
      sometimes gentle, sometimes bold.
But each one more beautiful than the last.
One night it might strongly announce
      its presence,
Or on another it may hide itself
      behind the clouds.

Love brings romance and mystery
      into a dark, dreary night.
Bringing us closer to the distant world
      of the unknown beyond the Earth.
We feel at one and at peace
      with the universe.
We are not alone.
                                           MAA 10/31/97

Love is Like The Sun

Love begins as a sunrise,
Fresh and bright as a new day.
Then as the sun, it climbs higher
And grows stronger with each passing moment.

Love gives us light in our lives,
And comfort from the cold.
Even when we are far from it,
Or cannot see it, we know it is there.

The sunset does not bring an end
        to the sun or to love,
Just a beautiful close to one
        chapter in our lives.
A new chapter will unfold with
        the next dawn,
Brighter and more joyful than the last.
                                            MAA 10/31/97

Love Under The Sun and Moon

Our love began with a sunrise,
Bringing a fresh, new day into our lives.
It almost ended with the sunset,
While we stood together as friends.

But the dawning of another day,
Proved that friendship and love
      do not die with the sun.
Instead they grow stronger
      with each sunrise,
And promise more with each sunset.

No matter how many times
We've seen the Sun's golden rays
Start to shine about the horizon,
Each time is more beautiful than the last.

Or when we think that
We have seen each shape and color
It projects upon the sky as it falls
      back to its grave,
We will see another more wonderful and bold.

Love changes and enhances
With each sunrise and sunset.
Its joys are endless and powerful,
Bringing wonder and happiness
      each morning and evening.

The sun is like a warm blanket
      on a cold morning.
We feel its comfort wrap around us,
And feel secure,
Knowing it will be there day by day.

Just as the sun rises and sets
       upon each day,
The moon illuminates the night.
It is mysterious and changing,
Never keeping the same shape for long.
It can be a giant fireball in the sky,
Or hide its light behind the earth.

The sun brings light and hope,
And the moon brings romance and mystery.
Each is beautiful in its own unique light;
They are both more wonderful and beautiful
When we are together beneath their glow.

Love gives us new eyes
To see all of their beauty at its fullness.
Love draws us closer to them,
No matter how far away
      they are in reality.
Somehow, they can cast a spell
      on those in love,
Drawing them into a world
      where time stands still,
Allowing them to share their love
      a moment longer.

On My Mat


I step onto my mat

I Breathe              
               in
                   the
                         Silence
I drop
           all
                 my
                        burdens


                 I 
         Awaken
           every 
            pore

        My Spirit
            feels 

             its 
        heartbeat

            It is 

           Free 
             to 
         explore

I pledge 
             Acceptance

I dismiss
              all
                   my
                        flaws


        I move to 
       the rhythm
              of 
         my inner 
           Guide

       The stress 

         releases
            and 

     my thoughts 
         subside

       The quiet 
    transports me
      To a realm 
            of
          pure
          Bliss
 

       Feelings
            of
         Peace

      Permeate 
           my
          Soul

         
          The             
       myriad
       pieces
      become 

       Whole

I lie
       in
            Shavasana


I slow 
          down
                    my
                          Breath

I savor
            every
                     Moment


I Treasure 
             every
                    part

     I place them 

        carefully
      deep inside 

       my Heart
        
       Namaste
