Discernment


…deep mystic rain, or mystic soil, at mystic roses: so patient, so deceased, at treasuries and diamonds, fretting miracles: to relive essence, such ousia, so hurt, so battled, seeing pictures: this casual drive, this casual stranger, or spent looking down upon carpet: this daughter florist, those aching determinations, at flights seated in stillness: such maya ditches, such friendly deception, at laws written in ghetto ink: our beating hearts, this trombone spirit, as attracted to mere a thought: communicating silence, leaking into caves, or dazed for removed singing in Spanish: a youngling, so misguided, but walking this shadow: such wrenching inclination, such priestly appetites, at mirrors vowing something unsteady: hitherto, a bit nervous, a bit unleveled, gazing at thermostats: if but such grace, alive this plebian, while steep in passion: but Love is riches, and Love is science, and Love needs a fantasy: those plural hats, those in-home carnivals, our wigs and pomp, our tears and laughter—to perish running, to look and see palms, or awakened to cold remedies: such marrow intensity, or mystic sorrow, at something too unbelievable….

…it becomes hectic, while listening to fears, while negotiating casual responses: a spirit inlet, a warrior’s casket, while sipping mystic juice: our guts sunlit, our grit unfolding, our years speaking in mortalities: to vanish at moments, to reappear at seconds, to re-polish our interior forests: it becomes an anthem, reliving scars, or checking in with this inner person: so banished and dislodged, born a bastard, this unsteady, unpacked passage: (lost at seconds, sensing something terrific, disputing whether we deceive ourselves: this long rising, this cursed insistence, where ideas become travesty): debating our arts, this realism participation, arranged as one offcourse: so sick with honesty, so caught in webs, where a man dug a ditch and fell into a cave: bottomless mistakes, fueled forever, or infected dogwood: this terrible reality, those favorite entrees, while it becomes science to desist….

...we manage sorely, enjoying our hobbies, embedded in our laws: so much said, as so much before, where we distinguish human behavior: a person so cold, shunning existence, enrooted in detriments: this wilderness of nets, our habits unsustainable, eventually, our core self emerges: such deep seeds, where one works decades, in order to partially remodel personality: mental tactics, if but to survive, where one repeats a line over a million times: such church life, pacing by instruction, soon selected for confession: such cosmic reality, such express mantras, so mystic, peering at this rustic scenery: to float a feeling, to ask for unlimited access, while uncertain of that request….

…it requires a great deal, as becoming human-hood, attempting to sing louder: such as eloping to dangers, or needing a parachute, where onlookers are urging us to leap: this show by demonstration, our interior conscience, while something is vying for destruction: those world-charms, those lively minutes, or days to one tear: our unbound compass, our furnace for refinement, but we arrive with such luggage: thus, this new being, this embarrassing backpack, such spiritual graffiti: while reality sheds gravel, while eyes are opened, but such and such reminds us of folly: at several patches, upon a mystic sparrow, while listening to grackles: those deeper islands, those uphill estuaries, or pudding with mudslides: looking for evidence, afforded new habits, while decades speak volumes: a stranger in his mirror, a flagon for composure, or silenced by deep rooted anxiety: those seaquake hearts, those moonquake mountains, where sages suggest we discern our times….    

Worn Senses

    Let the gift be faith. Many at war. We emphasize it. Many ask, why? How it feels to own promise. A man chides his understanding, realizi...
