when the questing soul
knows peace and the
heart is stilled in autumnal grace
the once silent voice
will rise and sing its song
from the core of its essence
resonating from the node
that is the center of nuance
vibrating at fingertip
sounding its song between strings
in the rustic grace
that is yours alone

Oath
Oath
touch gently
speak softly
hold closely
know silence
seek solace
find peace
in the
rhythm of
ordinary things
show kindness
give generously
live freely
love openly
live among
those you
know and
seek what
defines you
know truth
despise lies
be supple
as grass
rough as
bark stand
sturdy tall
and strong
find humor
in serious
things and
joy in
simple things
know humility
act sincerely
speak truthfully
and kindly
accept what
you do
not know
behold mystery
unfold at
fingertip in
the stilled
motion of
light on
cusp of
incoming evening
touch gently
speak softly
hold closely
know silence
seek solace
find peace
in the
rhythm of
ordinary things
show kindness
give generously
live freely
love openly
live among
those you
know and
seek what
defines you
know truth
despise lies
be supple
as grass
rough as
bark stand

Invocation II
when I reach
you’re hand clasps mine
guiding us
through night
into light
let time
not steal
numbers from
our days
but be generous
and extend
our stay
you’re hand clasps mine
guiding us
through night
into light
let time
not steal
numbers from
our days
but be generous
and extend
our stay

None In One
I look
but do not see
reach but
cannot touch
eat but
do not taste
move but
remain in place
pull together but
nothing joins
speak but
no one listens
listen but
hear silence
I am form
without definition
I embrace
one part of nothing
what is
will not last
what comes is
yet to be
I am at one
with shifting wind
blowing dry leaves
over barren soil
I have become
none in one
whom I do
not know
but do not see
reach but
cannot touch
eat but
do not taste
move but
remain in place
pull together but
nothing joins
speak but
no one listens
listen but
hear silence
I am form
without definition
I embrace
one part of nothing
what is
will not last
what comes is
yet to be
I am at one
with shifting wind
blowing dry leaves
over barren soil
I have become
none in one
whom I do
not know
