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

-

Cool




Cool is finding time to talk
When time you have not any left
Cool is tolerating others
And the things that they have said
Cool is absorbing all the tension
While the spring is being wound
Cool is analysing signals
When they come at you inbound
Cool is moderating answers
As they form within your head
Cool is changing them for something
Less regretted when its said
Cool is understanding fears
And leaving them where they are found
Cool is listening to all
Determining the common ground
Cool is knowing whats important
Also knowing what is not
Cool is staying ever cheerful
When inside you are in shock
Cool is appreciating love
That someone special gives to thee
Cool is thinking the word 'you'
And not so much of that word 'me'

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
-
Of
-
The Plan

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


Perception
-
It would seem has trained
-
Tamed
Perhaps
or
Even maimed
-
Our modern
-
Focused
-
Fettered
-
Brains
-
So needful
of
Emergence
-
Into an age
-
Imagine it
-
Unlimited
-
In which we fit
-
Unlimited
-
Changed
-
In a look
-
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
-
Perceptions
of
Reality

The wonder of the World







-


The wonder of the world
-
The beauty and the power
-
The shapes of things
-
Their colours, lights and shades
-
These things I saw

Look ye also

While life lasts

Behaviour

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
Recede
-
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

Thinking
Is
A
Process
-
Which enables
Us
To
See
-
Unshackled
-
Stark
-
Reality
-
From
Which
We all
Do flee

-
Can't
Recognize
Duality
-
The thoughts
We
Have
It
Seems
Confuse
-
Distress
-
But
Nonetheless
-
Are not
The
Same

As
Dream

-
Thoughts
Express
What we might
Be
-
That
-
Which we might
Do
-
Where fits

-
My

-
If

Is not to fit them
Where I think
-
Their meanings
-
First
-
Would
Be

-
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
Afar
-
Just who you are
And
What you are
-
If you are just like me
-
Is something
You're not sure of
-But
Something
Flying
Free

-
Looking
For an answer
-
Looking
Where to roam
-
Seeking
Out your destiny
-
To
Find a place

Called
Home
-
So
Thoughts
-
Can be confusing
-
Feelings mixed
-
The
Route
Unknown
-
Elusive
-
Misinterpreted
-
From wild places grown
-
Yet
Thoughts
Let us explore ourselves
-
Discover
What is best
-
Positively
-
Form
Ideas
-
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
Ours should fill

-
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
-
Wherever
We
Are

-
To
Think
About
It

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

We are not dead

Conscious states
We each do own
-
Close our eyes
To be alone

Remote the touch
That stillness dulls
-
Leaving sound
Our brain to lull
-
When scent to smell
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

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

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…..

God is Universal
-
It's senses
-
Mankind
