I am the dream of amazement

clothed in sky
day weeps
sewn with spiderwebs 
blue needs no hem
pouring down the mountain 
pooling in shadows at my feet
wading through echoes
it is my own heart beating 
a continuous embrace 
of light in light
blue in blue
solitude stretched its arms around me 
as my heart burst into sky



moon lilly unfolds in spirals
galaxies unhinged
sings its love songs in the dark
night falls through its own echos as morning sings us 
a dancer stands in her own hush 
wilting into her absolute tenderness



The moon sails through my empty heart
Walking through the dream
Amazed
As I am the dream of amazement



how could you love so much you feel your heart bursting?
how could this beauty consume you so...
how could this impermanence you feared so much
become this beauty you longed for
how did this love you thought you could hold
eviscerate you
and dissolve into seamless wonder



Looking through both sides of the mirror
I can see your beautiful eyes shining
spontaneously self arising
self erasing
radiance

Looking back
There is no path
Looking ahead
There is no road
How beautiful your face
At the edge of the world



morning wind brushes clouds into golden wings 
Dissolving
this empty heart sings 
Of the fullness of day 
Of loves line-less beauty 
Of the backbeat of wonder 
These very words that time erases 
As time swallows itself 
Ripples of shimmering reflect the morning 
River flows into and through itself 
Love kisses itself 
Through our eyes 

I can hear my footfalls 
But cannot find them  
Memory writes my name on the river 
Where I drowned 




I sing of what has no song yet sings me.

How many tears to wash away the wetness you seek?   You were never more than tattered prayers, hopes and fears of your own undoing streaming in the wind. Words resound in the vault of echo's absence and sink into your heart of shadowed dreams.  This death of certainty leaves only reflections rippling in the breeze caressing your beautiful tender cheeks with a love song that has no words yet includes all words.  Even the wind sweeps itself away.   Crashed into your infinite kiss, waves of shadows cannot undo this love that you sought but always were in this timeless embrace of nothing and everything.

It's like you're strapped info the confines of belief, an avalanche of concrete that has shut out the light.  Sharp edges of black and white carving out your world, a two dimensional cardboard cut out of a life consumed with hope and fear of a never arising next.  Suddenly the fabric of your universe collapses.  The bottom falls out and you slide through the cracks of all the unyeilding beliefs of who you thought you were, and you discover there was no one under the costume of belief.  

The reaching out fell into and through the reaching out as tears subsumed in their own wetness, light fell into light, space poured through space and a hush beyond measure embraced itself from the inside and out.  There were no sides nor non sides, or a song without other. 

Lost in puddles of emptiness, drowned in unanswered dreams.  Reflection of the moon ripples softy across your forehead.  Wind catches itself in the reflection of treetops dancing in its own shimmering shadow.  Suspended jewels hang in this web of awe, flying into themselves.  The loose ends will never be caught in the tangling

This life this unbound love was  longer yours.  It soars unimpeded, unrehearsed, unbidden.  This delicious unknowing settles in to your innermost being and transports you into the mist of unrehearsed forgotten rainbows.  The imaginary lines that created this tinker toy world fall away and all that's left is a streaming sublime edgelessness.  Utterly stunned by this boundless beauty, this utterly amazing dream, where love seems to be the heartbeat as it flows unencumbered by fear.  Swooning in the ever new ever freshness the universe flows through your nakedness and a gentle breeze or a wisp of a cloud sends your heart skyrocketing.

Love songs echo in moonlit shadows never touched nor held yet embraced by their own kiss sliding into a sublime spaciousness where all your extensions of reaching out dissolved into pure stainless brilliance.  Life a constant swooning into and through itself, dancing falling crashing into and through all names and ideas of a dream time song that has never left nor begun nor caught in its dance of utter awe of its own wonder.

 
A contrapuntal dream scape fell into a shoreless ocean rippling a soundless song of endless mirrored wall less canyons dissolving as mist in the morning sun.  Bathing in its own essence a seamless ease akin to love and joy yet without edges or place to point.  Moon exists only in its reflection. it cannot be pointed to, there is no one or substantial thing separate from this dream of light.  It is all moon shimmering reflections of reflections.   it is all gold radiating in all direction without direction or dimension or place or center or edge.   Flung like jewels across all and everything our tears reflecting our own wonderment
our own beauty
our own love

Crickets sing their love song in the dark the moon silently shines.  I'm just waltzing with the moon, rainbows in my hair, dancing in mid air on the edge of the dream..

How I love the feel of naked hearts singing
As sunset colors pierce the lengthening shadows in this 
The first
And last
Dance

Beautiful tears stream through your bareback eyes
A song of silent sorrow floods in a joyful rippling of love shared.

In the end there is only the song
Singing itself
Echoing deeply in and through its own iridescent rippling reflection

Morning delicately and tenderly unwraps her golden treasure of song that whispered your name in the dead of night.  Blooming into the day dream of you and me and we, such softness of this caress of light and shadow creating a canyon of echoes where we dance.  

This unutterable warmth that floods the empty songbook when I greet you bathes my heart with a certitude of this wondrous intimacy of a touchless touch.  I am not.  you are not.  We are not without each other

The unspeakable  beauty of your sublime aloneness and the magnificent dream of love Swirling together into this life of a sage who swoons in love as love through love with a seamless ease falling through the awe of simply being.  When someone says you're beautiful or I love you there is nothing here.  Yet all I can say to others is I love you you're beautiful. 
 
No longer wondering yet in awe of this magnificent emptiness of even love and emptiness, it feels like a summer love song streaming through every pore of my being that has no tags nor confines.  The why's and where's and who's left the empty house as the floors and walls and ceilings vanished in their obvious transparency.  Echoes resound through this brilliant unknowing, a flowing breeze pirouetting my mirrored skirts seems to dance me along.

I sing of what has no song yet sings me.



she listens to the softness 
contrapuntal colors 
bleeding through each other
through her belly
through her heart
an indefinable softness
sings 

water is the color 
sky is the sound
blue is the touch 
light is the taste
love has no color
yet is all color
merging into this song
of streaming rainbows 
sliding through me
As me 




intimate rhapsody of endless ocean 
sings itself 
cannot be known
yet you know its song
caught in the hands of moon 
night releases itself into sky

waves seem to punctuate the fathomless seas 
words seem to separate wetness 
from water
and you 
from me




You need not buy a ticket or enter the hall or pull up a chair to this sumptuous sensorial banquet.  You need not dive into or swim in this flowing river of song.  You need not find what seems to appear.  You need not try to be aware or awake to this wind ballet.  You need not capture this love that waltzes you,  or pin your feet to the dance floor 
There is none 

You are this uninterrupted symphony of perception and its inseparable recognition.  You cannot not be awake to it as you are it.  Just as it seems to appear 
Just as you think you are.  
This very thought stream painting this ever blooming ever wilting brilliant immediacy.... 
this is who you are 



dawn opened the door 
drew shadows on the threshold
sky flew in and pulled her out
swallowed her and spit her out 
her breath is empty 
there is no one breathing
singing
laughing
dancing
weeping 
loving 

cold mountain winds race down the dark canyon
longing for the hot desert bathing in sun
I hug my shoulders 
enchanted with the seamless dance of wind and sky 
last stars fade in the brightening sky

love gnaws my bones
sucks out the marrow of sunrise
and the death of moon  
bleeds onto the path
that no one follows
wondrous as I hear my story 
reflections of ancient wind songs

acres of sky
eons of love 
I am wind 
in wind 
dancing




One by one or all it once the knots untie themselves revealing a brilliant infinite even expanse without any effort or non effort, without anything needing to be done. As all trying or trying to not try are the knots tying themselves.

Love's glorious display enlivens the timeless now with the grace of magnificent indivisibility.  

Searing pure light burns away all imaginary shadows of this and that 
There is no possibility of going back to believing there are individual "things"--thoughts, emotions, sensations, moments --that have an independent nature.  

All is the seamless love expanse of open unbound perfection.  We dwell in perpetual ease and discover that we have never left this blissful all encompassing expanse.  Pure uncontrived ease and wonder saturate every moment. 
There are no limits no borders, no center, no corners or inside or outside.  Nothing to hang onto as there is no one to grasp and no things to hang onto.  Simply love shining as nothing less than everything.

This ecstatic love dance is super-saturated with even-ness and equalness without any reference points whatsoever.

There is a Joyful stability no matter what seems to appear.  

Swooning in love as love through love 
No longer confined to ideas of twoness or meaning or non meaning or freedom or non freedom 
Or anyone to be free or loved.

We are the softness of a caress from the inside and outside kissing itself.  From everywhere and nowhere love flows into love and weeps at the utter all encompassing silence, reverberating into echoes like never ending parentheses of hugs.  Reaching stretching into your own infinite intimate embrace life kisses you soundly.  You can feel your beautiful aliveness always. 

The ecstatic love dance swoons into itself through the prism of your rainbow eyes, rippling colors overflow into and through themselves.  Awash with loves timeless beauty. 

Seemingly swooshing and swirling and twirling waltzing light and shadow thirst for each other as night and day drink deeply this draft of love

And there's nothing in the middle and there is no outside to this wondrous love dance 
it hits you like a freight train that it has always been this way. 

There is no more looking for the other half of a kiss, it feels like the first and last kiss always.

You cannot fall into love or out of love as love has no sides
it is not separate from you and yet 

You and love are made up, and only flow when there is this and that, the heartbeat of existence...
Love swoons effortlessly into itself as I recognize myself through your beautiful beautiful eyes...
You can never see your own infinite intimate beauty or your own lovelight 
But I can 
And I love you for that



Love  
Breathes me 
Sings me 
Nakedly it erased my eyes and grew them anew 
I am the eyes of the day 
Intimate skinless 
Licked clean of dreams of tomorrow 
Morning slides through me 
Deeper than space folding on the sidewalk 
I paint the morning 
Yellow finches 
Rushing tires on the road 
Tea kettle ready to sing 

This music cannot be sung 
Or heard 
Or remembered 
Or forgotten 
This house this garden this life this love belongs to no one 
I am a stranger and a lover 
New and familiar 
Who gathered the shells on the coffee table 
Who loves so deeply she thought her heart might burst 
Who writes love letters in the dark 
To you 
That I may see my face 
In the reflection of your eyes 




I am love’s memories gently unwinding into the sunset
Tattered fringes of light and shadow dancing on the edge of the known as it falls into the unknown 
Swooning as a love dream that lept inside itself and discovered 
Sparkling 
Jewels 
Everywhere 

I love you



The book of days and nights fell apart in my hands
I hear it echo in the moonlight 
See it shimmer in the mid day sun 
Time lost its reflection
As love subsumed it all 
No one wanders as this rhythm of light 
Or dances as this melody of wonder 
Yet I find myself in love 
As love 
With this ever blooming 
Ever wilting dream scape
Mountains swoon into valleys without end 
Or beginning 
Days slide into night 
Death is always here 
How many years since love swallowed me 
I cannot say
Yet I can say 
I still love 
This love that I am 
That we are  
That this is 



and you find that what the sages have been singing about is simply this, your own life just as it is



we exist only as imaginary characters in this dream of duality. when the dream of this and that is no longer believed, there is a hyper awareness of being aware. 
yet it is known that it requires imaginary separation for awareness to be aware of being aware... 
it requires imaginary separation to recognize unicity. 
only through this uninterrupted symphony of perception and its inseparable recognition is awareness aware of being aware... 
it is known that awareness is not a thing, that there are no things, nor non things... 
It is known and felt that there are no separate moments or events, it feels like a unitary streaming... without edges... space flowing through space, light pouring through light...

it is known that there is no outside to the dream of objectified separation as outside and inside, like all this and that is made up, mentally fabricated.
many, seeing through the illusion of separation, realizing that there are no things nor a holder (you) of them, fill in the blank with awareness.... it is like a bigger better me.

there are no words for that which is not a that or this... ultimately we are nothing at all... an imaginary prism, a lens seemingly dividing an inside from an outside... a beautiful lens through which love and beauty enter the universe...


The beauty of wind is in its caress of absence 



this obvious seamless beauty embraces me from the inside and outside... it has erased all sides, and yet shimmers as an iridescent wave washing through me as me... as sunshine flowing kissing... itself 

it beckons me to sing of it.... yet it is not an it... this sublime emptiness that no one has yet I long to share.... speaking of it seems to capture it and erase it... this love swirling down the canyon paints me and this song, and these tears... this is the song where we meet and cannot touch and disappear into each other....




day dissolves on the distant hills 
last bird leaves the feeder
gathering dusk in the plum tree
I am this nakedness 
dancing 
circles of empty light 
breathing 
weight of darkness
melting 
no one wears this dress of shadows 
swirling 
or wades through this carpet of moonlight 
singing



after the rain
blossoms paint the sidewalk
flowing dust motes catch the morning 
but cannot hold it 
spider webs weave sunlight 
arched fluted tapestry of light in light 
filaments of gold in gold 
drops of rainbows suspended 
reflect my eyes 
finches call each other into this dance 
this soaring dream of wonder 
pirouette into a song 
that I cannot sing
yet long to 
here are these words I sing to you 
they are not mine to give 
disappearing as they arise
like the summer sun
glistening so beautifully
delicately in your eyes 
I weep at your beauty
and long to kiss this wonder 
into you 
so that we may sit 
in awe
at the day




a pair of eyes painted on the glass
lipstick smudge 
trying to kiss life
drink this magic 
this swirling kaleidoscopic echo land dream

eating the rainbow leaves 
shards of sky in your mouth 
your heart 
where is the treasure
in this empty glass 

whose words reflect the sunrise? 
whose tears filled this glass this mirror that runs the water color paint of dreams? 
whose rainbow fills these empty brush strokes?

who made these empty foot prints that crumble into dust
into mud 
into sunlight 

acres of tears cleansed these eyes
that no one wears 
it was the emptiness you longed for 
that drank you
and left you spinning
weeping
dancing 
soaring skinless
naked and utter alone

no one wears this beautiful rainbow garment 
this swirling gown of mirrors
this nakedness
these tears
