The cool sand beneath my feet
seeps between my toes
as I walk along the beach.
Pulsing waves spring to life
as I walk along the shoreline.
The cold ocean water reaches out
to touch my feet
and gather round my ankles.
Treasure Hunt
Take a look inside.
The room is empty.
Nothing exists but the breath.
No one exists but the self.
To be or not to be.
I think therefore I am.
But I shall not think.
I should just be.
For thoughts and things
cannot possibly
describe me.
Only the heart,
what’s in the heart
is what is me
Not the ego,
nor the items I own.
Not the clothes on my back
nor the friends by my side.
I need to look deeper,
dig deeper to find
joy, happiness,
myself.
Eternally Temporary
Rays of sunlight
gradually unlock the darkened vault—
unleashing hope
and restoring faith unto the world.
Darkness retreats
to the far corners of the vault.
Light continues to grow
and chase away the darkness.
Noon comes and goes.
As it leaves,
Darkness gains ground.
Eventually, the vault closes
and Darkness dominates once again.
Both the celestial vault
and the Earthen vault
encompass light
and dark impartially.
Crazy?
I walk, walk onto the sidewalk,
and talk, talk to myself.
I talk to myself about this and that.
I talk to the dog and my cat.
I can’t tell you why I do these things,
these crazy, crazy things.
But I can tell you this:
You do them too.
