To live again perhaps one day

Though gales may blow the winter's rain

To lash the puddles

Down the lane

-

Each day my life

Stays unexplained

-

It needs no fuel but what is found

-

On Earth

-

Wherever I am bound

-

It's path

Where ere my choice it takes

-

I follow

-

Seeing all life makes

-

Until I die

-

When where I go

Is something that

God only knows

-

Like salt in water

-

Melts

Away

-

Unseen

-

Yet there

-

To live again

-

Perhaps

-

One

Day

Reading

The expression of one's thoughts and feelings

Will do more to educate and relieve the mind

Than any amount of reading

-

The result of other people's thoughts should act on us but as a suggestion

As a stimulant of one's own

-

One's attitude should be both critical and sceptical from the outset

And

Extremes should be avoided

-

No one is completely right

No one is completely wrong

-

Above all

Is misunderstanding

Attraction

To work out where we are

-

To know what is life's game

-

We need first to ourself

-

Our body explain

-

This craft that we pilot

-

This ship with our name

-

It floats in a place where horizons

They change

-

This place in our wisdom

-

We have "Universe" named

-

This Universe

-

Well

-

It's illusions are part

-

Of our body and mind

-

Of each pumping heart

-

Inseparable

-

Mutual

-

Defined by our brain

-

Our attention determines our place

-

In this plane

-

Now this craft and the seas

-

That it sails

-

Are a game

-

A screen

-

Like a stage

-

Where our consciousness dreams

-

It is here time is made

-

As we witness each change

-

One breath to another

-

Decay in a cell

-

Stellar expansion

-

We measure them well

-

All the motion we see

-

This change

-

We call Time

-

Results from attraction

-

Somewhere

-

Down the line

-

No one knows where it ends

-

Nor where it began

-

But one thing is certain

You are part

Perceptions of Reality (or: How to understand a Universe)

As the Human Mind is bound

-

Within it's senses

-

Limited

-

Imagination it is found

-

Doth suffer

In parenthesis

-

(Imagination)

-

Thus

Restrained

-

Incapable

-

(So tightly chained)

-

May not imagine boundless plains

-

Nor endless continuity

Tamed

Perhaps

or

Even maimed

Fettered

So needful

-

If we could just

-

Put down that book

Of

Rules

-

We have become

As shapes may come

and

Shapes may go

-

Perception

From our senses flows

-

Yet all we see

Can be undone

-

Done up

Rethought

-

To

Find

The sum

-

Beyond the brink

-

That is not there

-

We need to think

Ourselves

-

To where

-

We understand

-

An

Unselfish love

Where knowledge

Yes

It may well bring

-

Awareness of our place in things

We have before disdained

-

Yet possession we may find

-

Of knowledge

Will not ever define

-

The pathway of the other kind
-

We need that we

Progress

-

Such pathways

Need no knowledge found

-

Their source related not to ground

Nor Universe, world stage, nor set

-

Just Love

So let us never

This

Forget

Our world of illusion

The closer we get

The more we shall see

-

For as we get closerHorizons

-

Our world of illusion

You see has no end

-

No beginnings or ends

Simply curves and some bends

-

So seek as we do

What a Universe

Makes

The simple fact is

It is us when we wake

Why talk of Nothing

If you should talk of nothing
Then nothing you shall see
For nothing is not this world
For nothing cannot be

Nothing has but no thing
No thing there to see
No shape
No sound
No texture
No weight
No density

So if you can describe it
Then do so please to me
For it defies description
It has none you will see

And if you think an empty space
Is a nothing you may find
Just think what is around it
Something on your mind?

While things exist in every form
From thoughts to what you see
There is no such thing as nothing
Just spaces that are free

For as long as just one thing remains
A nothing you won't find
Don't speak of it as if it were
It cannot be defined

So do not doubt that all things are
For it is clear to see
-

That once there was a something
-

Only everything could be

-

Egal Bohen

Look twice

Look twiceAt everything
-

Remember
What you see
-

Think constantly
About your life
-

If forever
You would be

Souls Memories (or Dreams)

In times of deepest sleep
Our human souls

-

Those parts of us

That when we pass

Turn not to dust

-

May climb the staircases of time
Move through dimensions

Instantly

-

To find

-

Their way to unknown places
There to roam

-

 There amidst a wordless world

Were thoughts are loud

And take upon themselves their form
-
There they move

In timeless motion

-

Fly through uncorrupted truth

-

Until the point when rudely woken

Then we call them

Home to roost
-

Whereupon their swift arriving

Causes ripples in our brains

 Which

Not designed were never intended
Ever to record

Such games
-
Deposited then within our memory
As they landed

In a heap 
Strange memories

Surviving 
From a world so strange and deep

-

And so it is our dreams are sent us

-

Mixed

Confused

Cut up and censored

-

Souls memories

From

Our deepest

Sleep

Can't
Recognize

The

Where I think
-Their meanings

For they are sometimes garbled
(As oft' they are in code)
-Thoughts
Take a little time it seems
To let
Their colours show
-
And thoughts
Are not the obvious
-We sometimes
Think they are
-They often carry meaning
-In a message
From

-
Just who you are
And
What you are

-Advance what's good
-Within our minds
-While
Quietly
At
Rest
-
The other hand
-When
Thoughts
Are
Strong
-Perhaps
They should
Just
Settle
-Long
Enough
-
To
Let them set
-Before
We test
Their metal
-
For having thoughts
Is one thing
-Believing them
The next
-Time
Can let the smoke clear
-While
Considering
What's best

But
Thinking
Is
Important
-
More time
Of

-
Thinking
Got us where we are
-
Will take us further still

Now
Whether
We
Are
Thinking
Right
-
Well
Thats
Another hill
-
Another hill
That Man
Must climb

To fill his craving thirst
-For thinking around problems
-Imagining
The
Worst

We can be sure of one thing
Though
-For the future
That we search
-We will find time

We

Understanding ..Is Thy Ego That Much Greater

Don’t Make more of things That happen - Make them always Less to be - For to exaggerate In passion Is a trap Life sets for thee - To what end Would you so travel? - Thinking only Of thyself - Thinking not The side of others - Their position All things else - Contemplate Your opposition - Does it mean So much to thee? - Is thy ego That much greater - Than understanding - Given free - Egal Bohen

We are not dead

Conscious states
We each do own

Close our eyes
To be alone

Remote the touch

Leaving sound

Is scarce - it seems

-
Our tastes will sleep

So soon we dream
-
The humming sound
Left in our head

It signifies
We are not dead

With bluestone fire

The secret shapes
Which grow in crystal on the Earth

I am the Cold

I am the Oldest of the Old

I was here before the Sun

-
I shall return

When all is done

The Religions of Man Part 11 - or - "Thousands of Years of Incredible Pain"

Tell me of my God My guide Not my judge Of wide open spaces Of sky and of love Tell me of my God Of light Not of dark Of the days that we live in Not dust from the past Tell me of my God Not sheep in a line Nor of Man's religions Their dogmas Their signs Tell me of my God A presence in mine To be found in all things Connected through Time For here is God's presence God's temple of peace Seen from all places South, West, North and East Its the Earth and it’s peoples It’s colours It’s sounds It’s lands and it’s oceans Where life all abounds The stars in the heavens The Planets Their seeds These are the God in which I believe And my God is no harm To those prophets who spake For all Mans religions We now should debate For my God begat them As he begat thee But God has now said Its time God was free Free of religions Which slander God's name The religions of Man The fanatics insane The churches The mosques The synagogues too They have nothing to do with the God that I view Their purpose was served When their message was spread In lands far apart When men spoke But not read In days when Man lived in communities Blind Of far distant cultures Of others His kind Their message was sent Yet again and again Delivered by prophets With different names At different times With different claims Religions got tangled Within their own chains And these messages left us a terrible curse The division of Man Across all of Earth So it’s time to consider The future of Man As I can’t believe that this was God’s plan For the fruits of Religion Are seen all around The innocent’s corpses The blood soaked ground We see it each day On our screens we are taught Religion The reason that these people fought If you add up the dead The wounded and scarred The innocents murdered With complete disregard Religion does not seem to offer much gain Just thousands of years Of incredible pain So here is a statement A statement of fact Fit for our time Man move forward not back Its time to accept All your Gods are the same You are killing each other Just over a name So we should examine the Religions of Man Keep what is good Use what we can But when we come to decide What they’re worth Remember It is to Religion that hell owes it’s birth So to whatever Religion You may now belong In whatever language You sing holy song Examine your conscience Your mind let expand See the twenty first century As God wanted Man For God never envisaged That we should abuse That greatest of gifts The power to choose For God has no favourites We are all as one And Religion can’t change that It won’t be undone So let us take time to read what was said By the various Prophets now all long dead Remember the fact that there can only be One God for all of us Surely you see So if God should be known By Man As a whole The time now has come For us all To enroll In the knowledge of something We have missed all this time…..
