~my sons’ guitars~ ~play through me in waves~ ~they are my life quest~ ~our music~ ~making more of me than I am~ ~feels pretty damned good~ ~just for a minute~ ~seems like everything is okay~ ~then I come back to earth~ ~take a quick look around~ ~ah hell it ain’t~
~Haunting Me~
~thinkin’ ‘bout endings ~about going away ~unanswered questions ~they are promises broken ~they are lies left unspoken ~they are haunting me
~down in the city ~‘round a fire left burning ~flames of society ~maybe hands in a prayer ~maybe blood of the slayer ~maybe haunting me~
~round in the chamber~ ~a far random target~ ~bullets come tumbling~ ~surely messengers running~ ~surely vengeance forthcoming~~surely haunting me~
~death on a thimble~ ~we been taking it easy~ ~any way we can get it~ ~on a fast road to nowhere~ ~on a death horse we go there~ ~on a haunting me~
~lady~ ~you are~ ~a vision of Sunday~ ~a river of falling~ ~a chant in the evening~ ~a dry well of wanting~ ~the church of my haunting~ ~church of my haunting~ ~church of my haunting me~

~feet rooted in epiphany~ ~eyes riveted to her boughs~ ~bated breath~ ~senses tingling~ ~spirits lifting~ ~we are going~ ~we are flying on the ground~ ~stepping through clouds~ ~your hand in mine & the next~ ~& the next~
~The Heaven Tree~ ~the night the Heaven Tree appeared~ ~we were excited & enamored, ecstatic ~beneath its mantle of star leaves~ ~lone wanderers o’er its earthen root~ ~feet to path & spirits soaring~ ~wildly alive in the ebon shade~ ~the night was a prayer to kneel~
~the Heaven Tree whispered to us~ ~secrets of the Children of the Universe~ ~the storms and rainbows of their days~ ~those before and after soon~ ~our spirits were filled with light~ ~timelessness, eternity~ ~standing ‘neath the Heaven Tree~
~hands reaching, others holding~ ~a circle of love on the ground~ ~faith we were lifted~ ~into the boughs of the Heaven Tree~~ ~spirits kissed upon the lips of gods~ ~eyes embracing the vast community of humankind~ ~delivered of moment, gifted to be~ ~on the path beneath the Heaven Tree~

~Meditation 31: Dos Penumbra~
~standing the shadow~ ~of near morning~ ~contemplating the day~ ~standing the shadow~ ~of near evening~ ~confusing at first~ ~a distracting sameness~ ~as in death & birth~ ~where the sun & moon divide~ ~trade shadows~ ~one might learn~ ~cloud reflections~ ~on the face of a mountain tarn~ ~a distracting sameness~ ~the dynamic of their existence~ ~that they are independent~ ~would not exist as they are~ ~one without the other~ ~spirits in the mirror~ ~ghosts in the trees~
