Scattered Ponderings

Scattered Ponderings

Such beauty unknown, unseen, abandoned, ignored, uncared for

The perfection of every moment escapes our obscured awareness

Minds full of potions and bodies hidden with lotions

By the very picture we’ve painted is our basic nature tainted

As we practice the refrainment and aspire to the attainment

   of being beyond the mind of entertainment

All we can do is be a companion to whatever appears

Bound by Saturn into every well strewn pattern

Inspired awry by Jupiter we become stupider

Wooed by the weary wars of fickle and fiery Mars

Reminded and tugged by vagina and penis, we ever do homage to Venus

Lured by the exotic haunt of tune we chase the illusory Moon

By hookery and crookery we mimic the godspeed of Mercury

By the promise of and the longing for – fun - we honor the powerful Sun

So what is this I gander and gather? Merely soap to lather

   as we slip and slither our way through the periods of night and day

Let us pierce the silence if we can and rend the veil of ignorance

Waste is prevalent

Waste of resources

Waste of lifetimes

Vast unhelpfulness of unshared visions isolates us in foreign lands

Yet, we are connected by a Net

And so for this, All is a kiss

For affection seeks connection

Interface of time and space is the Play of motion

E-motion connects us on this net

Blessing and curse is the poet’s bane of restless craving and grasping for word strings

Garlands of symbols strewn about the mind stream

Contemplation spritzes the mindstream with flow

The habit of contemplation replaces other habits

Ponder here, hither, and yonder

Watchful rest beyond time’s chains of constant change reveals that hidden

   by the motion of restless confusion

As the sediment settles there is clarity

After many lifetimes of false awakenings we will one day Wake Up irreversible
