In your minds marketplace
Of concepts
Shop without purchasing
Observe but don’t buy in
Stay detached
Let ideas come and go
The cost of picking up a concept
Is a piece of yourself
Choosing the wrong concept
May take decades to release
The effect of it
May stay with you to the grave
And not be worth one second
Of the life to it you gave

Feeling noble
Can lean toward
Passive arrogance
Emitting subtle superiority
Which renders
A grand gesture
Impotent as a true noble act
If you want to feel superior
Forget about others
Look inside yourself
Overcome your mind
Recognize your core being
Transcend the person
Get to the core self
Which is far superior
To your identity
In so doing you will quash
The egos need to feel superior
And thereby render
The most noble actions

I’m a long handwritten love letter
Stuck trying to navigate
A world obsessed with
Instant relationship
Status updates

Worry
A little bit here
A little bit there
Adds up to a lot of wasted time
If something is bothering you
Fix it
If you can
And if you can’t fix it
Trust that life
Has your best interest at heart
Prayer works too
Give it to God
And carry on with your life
Worrying won’t fix anything
It will just rob you of joy
Fragment your mind
And waste precious time

I’ve been runnin’
No more foolin’
I hear You callin’
I’ll stop runnin’
It’s time to fly

Ask for nothing
You will receive it all
Without disappointment
In the process
Universal intelligence will bring you
Wonderful abundant surprises
That would have gone unnoticed
While looking for something
Asked for

A fly upon
A felt hat upon
An artist sat
Exploring the brim
Not too close to the rim
As the artist drew
A limb or two

All of creation resides within us
Otherwise how could we have a deep
Awareness of it
Not just an understanding
Because someone told us
That there is a universe
Somehow we know
There is outer space
Beyond what we can see
And more than that
There is eternity
Not just because we read it
But because we know it
At our deepest level of knowing
How can we know something
That we hav not seen
Because we have seen it before
In another life
Experiencing a different consciousness

Two kings
Cannot sit
On one throne
Only one can rule
The stronger
May not always be
The better choice
But sheer brute force
Will often tip the balance
As ego
Muscles it’s way to the top
Our ego mind
Is like a brute force hellion
Set on being king
Of our thoughts
It parades ideas and beliefs
Wrapping them in emotions
Trying to make our heart
Believe that we are the stories
That tie identity to us
But that is
A mischievous untruth
We came here all knowing
As nothing
With nothing
No name
No Identity
No prejudice
No judgement
No possession
No obsessions
We came
As pure awareness
But our ego wants us
To somehow be more
It convinces us that striving
Is the best way
Doing this achieving that
Being better than this one
Doing more than that one
Creating distance and distractions
From who we really are
We are
Pure awareness
Un-conscious sub-conscious
Wrapped in consciousness
Encased in human form
All knowledge and understanding
Are already ours
If we are brave enough
To dive deep into our heart
And remember who we really are
If we put our ego mind aside
The Kingdom of God
Within us resides

Eyes that could melt you
A smile that invited war
Legs long
Shoulders broad
Passion
Mixed with charm
His posture flashed a warning
Subtle but recognizable
Why did I always
Return for more
