Getting What You Deserve🤔

✍️

I get what I deserve –

No more no less,

The theory based on karma’s laws:

Cause/effect, effect and cause;

Then I can’t complain,

Protest or moan,

Law based on justice or,

The is that’s just all ways, all days

Which means always:

Pure maths.

Are chance and accident

Pure chance and accident?

It’s oh, so subtle to explain,

Subtler even to think through

Beyond the brain, the mind, IQ.

Then how to understand its girth?

For most of us it comes through faith

And observation keen and sharp.

No angels show up playing harp,

No cloud-filled message from above,

Just daily happenings which prove…

Using reasoning and watching

You can catch the train,

Catch the chain of things connecting,

Each affecting one the other.

Keep your nerve

All things serve.

Stay calm and peaceful,

Thinking that you always get what you deserve –

No more, no less.

Washing Over (My Newest Trick)

Now that I’ve put my “Pure Nakedness” ‘out there’ it’s time for another poem.
Washing Over (My Newest Trick)🎇🌠😍 and of course✍️

I wash the brain with peace,
Synapse to sleepy synapse.
Themes may change from day to day,
The mind and will working that way. Today,
It’s peace – a motif that I never ‘got’.
I’m one step nearer, sensing it.
Behavior freer, talk a bit…
I’m more polite, considerate.
Something’s taking ‘way the shit
That usually rolls around as chaos;
Something near to paradise’s
Innermost best aspect peace, is
Uppermost. I use this basis
For my practice,
Imaging, imagining, examining,
Pretending, willing…
All that matters is the stilling
Followed by activity that does some good.
(What I wish is that it would).
Meanwhile, I am smiling more and more.
This ‘peace wash’ must be working.

The Good Leader, Or No One Is Perfect

The Good Leader or, No One Is Perfect

The one who leads is he or she who’s

Modest, willing to concede,

Recede, without the need

To be involved as ego

But concerned that others grow.

A sense of humour never hurts.

It doesn’t disconcert but generates relationship

That animates and stimulates,

Culminating in a healthier result for all,

Reverberating off each wall.

The leader ought to want the best for all involved.

Earned? Or learned?

Perhaps it comes with years,

Since all roads lead to Rome.

Let us assume it zooms in

On the meaning of ‘to lead’

The creed of knowledge, care

And love in sharing.

Leader has no leading urge,

But dominates by listening

With some sharp instinctive ear and surge

That doesn’t judge, yet judges right

Not in the short but long run.

(S)he has insight, knows (s)he’s not the sun

But brightens by a presence.

It is something that most ’round can sense;

No Mensa member, for intelligence

Has many faces, many facets like a diamond

Or a passion with soft-heartedness.

A soft sell

That goes well

The truth to tell,

Most of the time.

Still Needing Reminders #2

Still Needing Reminders #2📖✍️🤔(it’s better than #1, I think)

How long does it take to be a person
Who does not need reminders?
There have always been
Those men and women fully mended
And full-ended
Who learned all the burdens, meaningfulness,
Sum and substance
Of reality:
In other words, its essence.

Incarnation, seer, saint,
Completed men and women
Who know of life for what it ‘ain’t’
And what it truly represents
Here and possibly beyond.

In that case,
How long should it take, for me,
And probably for you,
To get to be that total human
One so much looks up to.

One works, strives perhaps, for lives.
One thinks at times one’s climbed the climb,
Attained its aim,
Achieved, accomplished… then one’s lame,
Where one must climb some more,
Renew the ‘brilliant’ store
Of insight that one thought one had,
Life’s underlying gladness passed
(or is it past?).

That’s when books come down once more
From well-stocked shelf;
One searches once again for self
Through words of those who saw the light;
Whose insights helped and help your night:
Your dark night of the soul*

Stage set,
Sage is met.
You’ve been re-minded and re-souled;
Not far off from whole again –
Till then.

The Particles Of God

The Particles Of God🤔😇

The particles of god are falling on my head.

They’re falling on the living, probably upon the dead;

On believers, non-believers; equal particles they fall –

They’re always falling on and in and through the body wall.

God is particles of oneness. There are parallels galore.

When the atom showed its kernel and revealed that there was

More to meet the eye, a kind of onion-layered door

Was opened there inside the mind as just the metaphor

For simpletons like me. God energy,

With big or little G;

Living, knowing particles that have no personality

But which, if I’d clean up my act

Would mystically reveal the fact

That they, the particles and I, have one identity.

I’m trying to arrange and rearrange my head instead,

Make it more receptive than a means for daily bread –

A conscious sponge, a large receptor,

Image-making faculty a particle collector.

But each impulse must be pure, for

We get into the areas of justice and reward,

And particles with qualities inherent in our race:

The areas of mercy, all the virtues, love and grace.

I’d rather not involve them just assume that they exist.

It’s the God without the person that this poem has gently kissed:

Ever-present particles that are the living ’s gist.

The Stimulant

The Stimulant

There is a plan.

Prevailing since the dawn of man;

A master plan that never pauses,

Working through unchanging laws

Consisting of effect and cause.

So knowing thus,

I’ve pledged my whole – Including what I call my soul

To have a voice (despite no proof that we have choice)

And ‘spite my preconceived ideas;

To ‘giving in’ before I die

To changeless codes in changing life.

(if death means bye, bye-bye and bye –

If not, then learning reasons why…

I’ve got to understand the rest,

All that which serves this life as best;

Or life seems meaningless or mournful,

And who thinks we’re born to mourn!

Every instinct longs for joy:

Contentedness and happiness

Insect to four-legged beast – man, not the least;

From ignoramus to the fool,

Pursuit of joy both goal and tool.

What works for me is godhead nearest

(who I sometimes label Daddy dearest).

Universes far from me

Yet deep inside, implicitly.

Thus, ‘fore I leave, ‘fore setting sail,

Believing in a force for good

And something which controls it all –

And this, right in our neighbourhood,

I leave this paper meant for Man:

There is a master plan inherent

Meant for us and our enjoyment;

Stimulant for saint and mortal:

Total life we have a right to.

The Illumined Poet

The Illumined Poet

Who is he?

Does he exist?

Is he consistent?

What does he see that others don’t?

Does he know what others don’t?

Is he he, or can he also be a she?

In these days you have to ask,

For it is ‘in’ to be defender

Of the genders one and all.

Poets stand, some sit in chairs;

While sitting up in bed some stare

Into an inner or an outer space

While letting, waiting, waiting, letting

Ideas come with no thought as to future comings,

Future poem-ings,

Afterwards he/she is empty.

Emptied of all relevance

To theme that took poetic stance,

Metered dance,

Seemed to be an endless well.

A well, it wells up from below.

What does it do?

Flows upward, outward,

Shooting, spewing, spurting, spouting,

Summer-springs that sprout

Ideas, conceptions, thought.

No one knows where all this comes from;

Poet-sage without intention,

Living on without ambition,

Driven by no aspiration,

Only the illumination

Bringing into birth a poem

That some

Will grasp, appreciate,

Others miss or misinterpret:

Know it!

This rare member of the planet:

The illuminated poet!

Anything Can Inspire

Anything can inspire, for example, sitting in bed this morning. 🤔✍️😇

Anything Can Inspire

A phrase, a newscast, TV show, a photograph,
Half a tune, a laugh, a beat.
Anything you meet to do with lingua franca:
Journalese, legalese, vulgarisms –
Language seems to be the key
To putting words to anyone’s philosophy:
And everyone’s got one, believe me.

As for daily life, this law’s the same.
We learn from others –
Anything that’s got a name.

Everything a tool,
A thing to use, to help;
Equip you for the thing that you were born to do.
Use your life.
It’s meant for you.
Anything within the moment
Can inspire.
