L O O K I N G I N T O T H E C R E E K

The way the soul is with the senses and the intellect is like a creek.

When desire weeds grow thick,

intelligence can’t flow,

and soul creatures stay hidden.

But sometimes the reasonable clarity

runs so strong

it sweeps the clogged stream open.

No longer weeping

and frustrated, your being grows as powerful

as your wantings were before,

more so. Laughing

and satisfied, the masterful flow lets

creatures of the soul appear.

You look down,

and it’s lucid dreaming.

The gates made of light

swing open.

You see in.

T H E P O L I S H E R

As everything changes overnight, I praise

the breaking of promises.

Whatever love wants,

it gets, not next year, now!
