Herself

(Found this old poem when *organizing stuff*.)

Herself


She had returned from the past
with the present on her mind...
lovingly etched
in her Bodhisattvic smile,

the forest path ran
long golden fingers
through her hair,
and
the river of no return
was running down
like silver moonlight
from her eyes,

the ocean roared like a lion,
then quieted
like a lamb,

Bliss
was simply  enjoying her Self.

I’ve taken an assignment

I've taken an assignment 24/5 days a week sans computer... I'll be home for the weekends; will miss your poems and our conversations. I share with you the poems I wrote this morning: 1. Snake the snake in the grass hissessssssssssssss be careful when you turn over rocks or mistake the rope mortal men carry fear, some carry a zen stick. 2. Liberty Bell liberty is cracked like a bell in Philadelphia, there are some who will call attention to the break, there are some who will ponder its history, there are little earthquakes that set free the vibration inside, a monk in saffron robe walks in silence amoung throngs passing by 3. come on! come on! entertain me! entertain the troups my dear! write some poetry that will make these battle scars heal and then disappear give me something I can bite into like a fleshy God, some worthiness I can chew on, over and over again; write some words of wisdom I can take with me to the masses and bring down the House of Iscariot, let us not fall into temptation and speak magnificent drivel dressed in fine insincerities and pleasantries, let us not wake the dead form a zombie jamboree, (or perhaps we should) let us dance like the good scouts we were near the campfire light, telling stories, fabrications of our minds, before we took sides and waged a war let us dance to the music of the soul. Ciao, peace light and love, Anna

*lol* I know what you mean,

*lol* I know what you mean, finding old writes etc 'organizing stuff' : ) I do love your 'old' poem though 'the ocean roared like a lion' that's awesome. Just one little spelling thing: 'quietened' instead of 'quieted'? Hope you won't be off line too much Anna, will miss your poems! ~Stella

And when you have an intense contact of love with nature or another human being, like a spark, then you understand that there is no time and that everything is eternal." Paulo Coelho

Namaste*. The most

Namaste*. The most beautiful thought imo. ~Anna *"I honor the place in you in which the entire Universe dwells, I honor the place in you which is of Love, of Integrity, of Wisdom and of Peace. When you are in that place in you, and I am in that place in me, we are One." Ram Dass ~ from Grist for the Mill.
