Ancient maps/flags

 

Swatches, patches
Strains, refrains
Snatches, peals

 

Shreds, pieces
Ancient maps
Soul compasses

 

ocean’s murmur
Nature’s twitter
Surfacing old ken

 

Elusive, unpinned
Tantalizing discomfort
Knowledge within reach

 

No time for frustration
Beckoning pathways
two pronged veins arteries

 

déjà vu relics
impinge, tingle
dreams real surreal

 

realization’s dawn
omnipresence eternal
timeless, infinite

 

thresholds, windowsills
glass doors, panes, ever
revolving, escalating, lowering

 

light puddles, tarot plucked
tea leaves in dregs
beg to be read

 

 

(*ken: knowledge

often wonder- have 100s of (e)friends, yet only a handful connect deeply-
 the whys and wherefores of it- I question myself all the time- is it a past connection?
 Déjà vu kind?)

Connections, Linkages

Bringing the bodies home

Connections/Linkages

Physical bodies matter little

Get backward linked forward

 

we still bring the bodies home

astral, emotionally bound

even as we go through life

going through the motions,

 

we stay thus connected

keeping them prisoners

mutual histories bind the clay

forming bodies, in mind at play

 

** The astral body is a subtle body posited

by many religious philosophers, intermediate

between the intelligent soul and the physical

body, composed of a subtle material.

 

Life Chakra

Life Chakra

 

Self controlled, swallow back
of grief laced spilling waters
swelling throngs paid homage

 

paper shell lay on icy ledge
a ripe melon severed from vine
another thistle in blowing wind

 

real half climbing to journey on
entering mystic sienna cave portal
ready to don another  abstract form

 

opening eyes in a new city, life,
another crisp layered ad- mixture
self chosen by past karmic choices

The Constant Elements

Decades ago, bells, cymbals, morning prayers pulled
This morn taped prayer beckons from eastern joint
ancient chant cobras sway resonating in déjà vu mind
I pull body soul together to navigate another new day

Cisterns of conscious streams flow in channels of mind
Few easily plumbed, rest will reveal depth in due time
unfurling petals of heart to soak in healing dawn ligh
that floods innards devouring darkness skulking inside

fettered soul flutters feebly chomping to fly free
tethered to a non robust shapeless decaying body
florescent veins of knowledge sluggishly course as
chi tries valiantly to clear inner  pathways perforce

karmic chakra will play itself out one day
this house of cards will finally fall, call it a day
unfettered I will wait curbside for the chariot
Failing which, I will self propel, taking instant flight

Ashes to ashes dust to dust panchbhootam will fall
Sky, air, water, earth fire will claim their atoms, all
The shimmering within will fly to fresh pastures until
Complete self purification allows entry into own abode

 
*panchbhootam: sky, air, water, earth, fire
