Daylight

Shining Sun, the light of reason,
however near or far,
I swing from you, throughout the seasons,
you remain my guiding star.

Illuminating all that's dark,
divide above from the below,
making light and shadow part,
making life wither and grow.

Guiding me on all my paths,
directing me to reach my goals.
Shield me from the wicked's wrath,
banish darkness from my soul.

Fill my heart with joyous laughs,
when troubles they take their toll,
Warm the waters in my bath,
never let your light grow cold.

Nourish me with beaming rays,
so my life force multiplies.
Make effortless and long my days,
short my nights, and strong my eyes.

That all truths I come to see,
in their multitude of forms,
that I may ever break free,
from ignorance and other norms.

Which keep the World shrouded in mist,
and people stumbling forwards blind,
brushing shoulders, throwing fists,
seeking things they never find.

Then sweet light of reason I,
will promise you constant devotion.
From the snow capped mountain high,
across the crystal, turquoise ocean,

ever will I follow you,
anywhere you shine and lead.
I give myself to your control
to serve your will is all I need.

Tree

From your deepest diving roots, to your highest leaves, I feel the forces of nature, of which you are a part, welling up inside you. Invigorating. Liberating. The vitality, and evolutionary currents, which have been flowing for millennia, building throughout the universe Undulating, coruscating kaleidoscopes of colour, pulsating within you. Vibrating elements building, all things, all the time. Flowing in, nurturing, flowing out. A million lines, of texture on your trunk. A million tunnels, to transfer fluids, flowing out, flowing in, bringing life giving nutrition. The original interdependence. Living, breathing, essential components, of our world. A million microorganisms, unfurled, hurled towards infinity. Trying, jostling, struggling, to be, but not thee, humble tree, by becoming, you grow tall, lofty enough to see, the whole horizon, stretch, towards infinity. ~MStJ  

Awakening

Golden light warmed my body, beckoned my eyes to open. Open themselves, to Sol's penetrating sight. Forcing his way through the smallest cracks, in my curtains. Golden showers, from his big beaming face, nurturing Honeysuckle, Jasmine and Rose. Fragrant aromas floating, through my windows, blown by gentle breeze, into my nose, teasing me to leave, my comfortable repose. I deeply breath, put on my hemp underclothes, sourced responsibly, assume half lotus pose, then transition to tree. Opening my heart wide, to receive energy, and divine inspiration, I descend to my knees. Meditating until, my mind's in a trance, the world becomes a stage, and my routine a dance, that my body flows through, like a channel of love, aligned to higher powers, directed from above. ~MStJ

Things

  There are objects all around me. A roll of thread. A green glass bottle. A dormant pine cone. There are things everywhere I look, scattered all around my home. Leather bound books. Paperback books. A lifetime worth of books. Dusty, damaged, well worn, ravaged, by these hands of mine. Two mirrors on opposite walls, a ball of garden twine. Two blue weights. A chest of drawers, of rich dark pine. Many pens which often fall, onto the floor, ball points, fountains. A5 notebooks, paper mountains, shifting over time. Two cups in my reach, each stained by tea, one empty. One larger, half full. Lemon and ginger vapours, fragrant, flee, circulate and linger, carried by the steam. Batteries. Remote controls, for radio & the TV, which shape my dreams, with shiny fables. Cables run along the skirting, behind a well used coffee table. Candles, wallet, nicotine, cover it's surface. Earphones and some old CD's. A passport, Watch. Behind it countless things, forgot, and small enough to fa...
