MY BIRTH
I was born of the Union of Sun and Sea,
At the moment of Sundown,
The Last Soft Touch,
Vibrates in my bosom,
Red-hot dimming light
Sizzles in my eyes,
My tiny Self turned giant
Measuring up to you,
My real parent: Sun-Father and You,
Sea-Mother – we are One!

FALLEN LEAVES
Humans, Born to Die,
Brilliant, Dumb, Weak or Strong,
Wide, Medium, Tall,
Vibrant, Pale, Cute or Tough,
Director, Thief, Janitor or Thug,
Like autumn leaves: Fall, Fall, Fall.
Humans, Why all the Fuss,
You all become a tiny Dot,
Important or Not,
Achiever or Bum,
All are leaves, ready to Fall, Fall, Fall.
The Serious and the Fun:
Clowns, Presidents, Bus-drivers, Vagabonds,
Old, Middle-aged and the Young,
Humans, like leaves of a tree:
Just Fall, Fall, Fall…

Cry to Divine Mother
Groaning-moaning Wind Mother,
Divine Mother with sharp teeth,
Shredding apart all in her path: giant trees, poles,
Divine Mother!
On to our Terran Altar all scattered ’round,
Go ahead: keep on shredding, tearing all!
Divine Mother!
The time is near when you have enough,
When your deceptive, delirious children hurt so much…
Then: will you have enough?
Long awaiting their redemption,
Just as all our Hearts will blend into ONE,
Then your Anger, too, will be gone.

Love and Beauty
The power of Love and Beauty,
Transcends All:
People’s Minds,
Possessions,
Powers,
Politicians,
Poverty,
Paranoia,
Prisons,
Pessimism,
Prejudice,
Pity,
Pickets,
Pride,
Property,
Space and Time,
Love and Beauty
Forever
Shines!

TIME
From Innermost Depths
Dropped into Momentary Existence
Standing here now in Endlessness…
Cramming Life into racing Moments
On the back of this tiny Globe…
Time surrounds me-
I feel it on my neck
Like cool wind
Slowly
Forward
Steps
I take…
If Time is a Horse
I would ride away on his back,
If a Bird: I would fly under its wings,
If a man, I would sleep with him awake tonight.

Ready, jump!
Eternal Moment:

Self-contained!
Universal!
I hold on to Eternity and JUMP!

JAGUAR MOM II.
Forever one with all,
Always live on bright, shiny night,
Dark but strong as light,
The power of ONE
Within me
MULTIPLIED!

AWAKE
I WALK WITH EYES CLOSED
HEART OPEN
AS VAST AS THE OCEAN
I WALK WITH ARMS OPEN
AS THE CRUCIFIED CHRIST
WITH BARE FEET FIRM ON THE GROUND
HAIKU III.
I WALK BAREFOOT ON
BLESSED GROUND
KISSES FROM THE SUN
HEAL MY HEART.
HAIKU IV.
ONE WAVE FORMING ANOTHER
ONE GENERATION ANOTHER…

….
VEIL
Sheer Veil… That which divides Life
From Death-
Yet to Man
It is a Wall of Darkness:
Unbearable Mystery of Life.
Just a glimpse would suffice!
Yet the Darkness of Fear
Envelops His Soul.
Thousands of Eons – like giant Pearls: Birth – Life – Death
Man wears them like rocks,
And foolishly asks: – Did we come for Joy,
Did we come for Beauty?
Did we come for Salvation?
The Answer is hidden in MYOHO.

Silver Moon
On Silver Moon and
Night’s Velvet

In the

As One is with All
And All is One:
I MAKE THE JUMP!

VOID
Living lives of Drama on the blank canvas of VOID
We rush hither-thither
Like ants…
Ultimately falling into the same VOID
From where we entered.
