Evolved

.

“All religion,

my friend,

is simply evolved

out of fraud, fear,

greed, imagination,

and poetry.”

.

~ Edgar Allan Poe

vision

unreal thoughts

vivid mental picture

things that don’t exist

imagination

nature’s true colors

camouflage

can you see me now

Poem:

.

is there another world parallel to our own
what some have called the twilight zone

where everything is opposite, black or white
where the darkest dark becomes the bright

no good or evil, just a calm
ethereal music accompanying a psalm

everything positive, no negatives allowed
nine is the number assigned to every cloud

a surreal place that is not a dream
all meals end with peaches and cream

every soul is born with a red heart
all other features are a la carte

feelings that do not include fear and hate
there is no crooked, only straight

could we live in both worlds at the same time
in a place where there would be no crime

a place where speech writers would not take sides
where politicians don’t change with the tides

as long as there are egos it will not happen
but there is no reason that we cannot imagine

Today, think love, peace and prosperity
allow every motive to be benefit charity

A Touch Of Madness

.

“There was never

a great genius

without a touch

of madness.”

.

~ Ben Jonson

.

Elfje:         (Cinquain)

.

temporary

part time

not for long

life lived and loved

impermanent

.

Lune:    5 / 3 / 5

.

ecstatic welcome

high on life

glad to be somewhere

Poem:

.

pleasing visuals dance through the head
produced by the most pleasant day dreams
contentment buoyed by what was unsaid
tranquillity riding silently on muted sunbeams

peace of mind is the final destination
the mantra reduced to a pleasing ummm
in a symbiotic relation with all of creation
pleasure derived from what we have become

fortunate and heartened to be a contented soul
success is as easy as doing the next right thing
body, mind and spirit needed to make one whole
a natural breath is the thing worth worshiping

happiness is freeing the imagination
love is the ultimate appreciation
be happy, take a deep breath, love, dream
make your next order four scoops of ice cream
