Evolutions

At this very point,

when the old ends and the new

begins, what should we anoint?

~

Anoint newness with hope

as the old evanesces

into historic annals.

Comings And Goings

Posted by 2garrabrants

0

Since years always pass,
isn’t it better to note
as they come not when they’re gone?
~

While it is good

to note comings and goings,

it’sĀ great to be present now.

Where Did The Years Go?

Posted by 2garrabrants

0

What I want to know

is where did the years go and

how can we find them?

~

They pass, as always,

at the usual pace.

We must notice them passing.

With the end of all

this holiday hurry and

rush, is NOW the time for peace?

Ah, if we can but

pause and breathe the mayhem might

be replaced by peace.

Love Beyond Gender

Posted by 2garrabrants

If God so loved
the world that he gave his son,
what became of his daughter?

~

A better question

might be, can we all, sons and

daughters, live God’s love on earth?

If you could unwrap

only one gift for the whole

world, what would it be?

My gift for the world

must remain encased, always,

safe inside Pandora’s Jar!

In this festive time,
What message would you send to
Those few souls who find no joy?
~

The message brought to

us on that first Christmas Day

was love unconditional.

What’s with all these twelves –

days of Christmas, number of

apostles, months in a year?

Busy taking steps!
But twelve is significant
Here too, I gather.

Would Rudolph enjoy
their green-eyed jealousy
if his belly weren’t yellow?

If you were goingĀ 

to make a guess what made

Rudolph’s nose glow red?

Rudolph, like Hogarth,

the therapist in me says,

likely loved “Christmas Cheer”!

Does the bright red suit
symbolize seasonal joy,
or do the clothes make the man

~

A larger question

might be what manner of man

would pick clothes like those.

Can seeking silence

yield a more stunning chorus

than reveling in music?

Contemplatives say

in seeking silence we mayĀ 

find a music more sublime.

It’s tough not to cry

In the face of Old Nick’s lies.

Is indignation better?

the mongers to peddle us
fear in these wholesale job lots?

When fear takes over

what becomes of honor? Where

do mind and heart go?

Fear freezes the heart,

enshrouds the mind in mist, and

honor takes a nap.

Beauty lies therein,

oh, sage mother of mine,

wanting and getting differ.

One poet could not

surprise herself in reply

and thereby, twist the meaning.

As To The Anosognosia Question

From ridiculousĀ 

to sublime, I was looking

for something along these lines:

As it was in the

beginning, is now, and will

always be – completely (w)hole.

Acting in haste or
paralytic inaction.
Which course yields greater damage?

When faced with questions

like this the best course is to

stare and back slowly away.

What compulsion drives

us to act against our will?

Altruism? Karmic Debt?

Sometimes we draw strength

from a mysterious source

and set our will aside.
