Everything Is Poetry
Poetry Can Set Us Free 
I'm Not There Yet 
But know
Someday
I'll
Be 

*

Oh Poetry
Let Us Rest 
In Your 
Silent Spaces
Soar Within Your Verse 
Fly Towards the Sun
Far Above Earth 
Then Off To The Stars 
Which We Will Gather and Scatter 
Like WORDS Magically 
Appearing
At a Banquet 
Table
Eating 
Drinking
Of Life 
Where
There 
We 
Will
Abide
Together 

*

Oh, The Feast 
It is Tasty
It Comes With 
Vowels 
Silence 
Consonants
And more
Is Is LIFE 
Itself 
It Opens
Closed
Door's 

*

Oh, Poetry 
You Make Us 
Run Down Time
Blow Up Space
Implode Rhymes

*

Oh, Poetry
How You Fill Me With Joy
I Remember This JOY
From When I Was A Little Boy
When I Was New 
Fresh and Shiny
When the World Was Yet To Be 
When Life Had Not Fallen Down
Into the Bayous and Byways
Where Darkness 
Comes Before 
LIGHT

*

I Still Taste It
That Little Boys 
Freedom 
Summer Days 
Without End 
Seemed To Last 
Forever
Oh Of Life 
How I Did I
Savor 

*

Oh
Poetry 
INFINITE 
Generosity

*

Through you
All IS LOVED 

*

Oh Poetry
You Help Us 
Learn How To 
Simply Be 
Through You
We Can
Finally Be
FREE

*

I Am In 
Awe 
Wonder
Everything
That Is
Or 
Ever
Will 
Be
It's Essence 
Is Found
Inside 
You
Poetry

Missing Self

Missing Self *** Yikes, my family has become concerned by my inability to find any solid fixed self, what to do? Best to keep quiet about my suspicion of their lack of inherent self. And who or what has been doing this searching and looking anyhow, like a gerbil spinning on a wheel? Those Buddhists,  I tell you, they appear so peaceful  (sometimes ) but are secretly a radical group of self deniers, how wonderfully subversive.  Maybe I have been a Buddhist all along and just realized it. But then I look for the Buddhist and Bam!  Same problem, there's nothing there. I must confess enjoying my nonexistent self today, uh oh, that could mean trouble. Now that I have realized my life is just a dream am wondering what comes next, or if there is a "next." Maybe I will keep looking a little more to be sure no self is to be found. The way things are going I might end up a Buddhist. Now not only can I not find myself, I can't find anyone else either.  I close ...

I'm Finally Free…

I'm Finally Free…. 🕊️ I've scattered What did it even matter Looking back now Don't understand How I went down Your highway So fast It was crystal clear It couldn't last Now I'm out back In the shadows With the creepy crawlers Slytherin in the bayou's  Before the sun It shone so bright Now there's only darkness Tell me where is the light At least I can see You're a dead end for me Apart from you at last Thru my suffering I'm finally free 🕊️ David Arndt January 29th, 2023 🕊️ January 31st, 2023 🕊️ Artwork - The Bride and the Wind by Oskar Kokoschka

One Taste, One Kiss……💕…🕊️

One Taste, One Kiss……💕…🕊️ 💋 Ah I've been looking outside myself For things I can only find inside Oh I'm not afraid to say Much of my life has been lost years Living in cage Tying to hide I was trying to survive It was the only way I knew I know I wasn't always honest Know I wasn't true I paid that price long ago Now I'm on the path of the bodhisattva I'm the leader of a tribe I'm your king I'm your prince Your father, brother Sister, mother, lover But we're lovers In pure space of appearances Empty potentiality Where there's no proof, nothing profane All sentient beings in union One taste, one kiss Dance union bliss vast openness Appearances are arising They're empty, Yet they appear One taste, one kiss Awakened ones of all times laugh Laughing with joy  equanimity We abide at rest Oh, one taste oh, one kiss One kiss everything in all All sentient beings kissed in spaciousness I know this kiss true In...
