MIDNIGHT POETRY – ‘War or Peace’

war or peace
tell me please
what is best
it’s a test

flying missile
brings dismissal
superpower
oil devour

push through legal breach
catastrophic reach
instead release
the dove of peace

practice a bit of Zen
heal the mind of men

MIDDAY POETRY – ‘Empty Vessel’

empty vessel
containing no thing
no thought no memories
vast new landscape

blank canvas
smell of freshness
newly stretched
onto the frame

the lived dream
of meditators
the perception of
newborns

MIDDAY POETRY – ‘Oh! my’

meditating on the I
where is it, oh! my
comfy cushion
cross legged pose
contemplating
on words those

inside the body
hiding obscurely
amongst others
anchored surely

fleeting moment
this big mystery
as life becomes
history

MIDDAY POETRY – ‘Bliss Meditation’

the silence, the emptiness
caressing the mind

here and there random
thought form, impulse

a wave of bliss
passing through
softly

alertness one moment
close to sleep the next

stillness unmoved
just the slow breath
lifting the ribs

feeling of nothingness
connected to the whole
falling

inside an eruption
fire flowing
in a stream

no resistance
freedom
instead
