Rubaiyat of Selfless Awareness

Missing image

 

 

 

Awake, asleep, two share eternal light
aware night leads through day, day leads to night,
you close your eyes, I dream, each close to each
to teach, outreach, with inner oversight.

You dream my theme thoughts teem as team to show
new meanings as shared gleanings peaceful flow,
what heartfelt revelation might appear
to others seems completion few may know.

Where ever and whatever there we share
etch stretch fair prayer that starts and ends 'I care'
for chance defeats all distance as, askance,
discord no force may gain, on course we pair.

Around, about, and in and out two twine
eternity which seeds itself, I'm thine,
thou mine to mine discoveries today
tomorrow and forever - heady wine.

Your flame my aim, your name my fame may blaze
though same both seem, fears tamed are, gleam melts haze
as yin and yang rang through time rung by rung
with time-traps sprung each leads each from false maze.

With empty filled, avoidance voided, there
black white no sense retain, all's coloured fair,
'where' 'what' count not, knots are unravelled quite
as 'here' and 'when', again Dear, karma bare.

Within your earthly sheathe my ka must weave
wreathed garlands for your dreams, no stay, no leave,
as essence interthreaded through and through
two turn to one, to Way begun run, cleave ...

    You tread the line of forcing your rhyme and managed to pull it off. This is a very ambitious poem with what seems to be a great deal of personal phrasing and touches of ambiguity left for the reader to puzzle out.

    When I read a poem out loud it is one of the best compliments I can give.

    I read yours out loud.

    Brilliant.

    Whoaaa. "Heady wine", indeed, dear Scribe. What a beautiful penning this is, my Friend. Your Muse is most fortunate. Incredibly delicate & tender, with inevitable strength & purpose running throughout this amazing piece. Wonderful writing, Sweetie. Took me awhile to find one I hadn't commented on yet, but ohhh, so worth the while. Gorgeous. Wanda

    Poetical Prophecy ...

    that is aptly titled! Your words are so thought-full as well as written to form, rhyme and meter in a way that seems to be unparalleled by many living writers today. It is always a pleasure for me to enjoy what you share from that special place where only a true poet can go! Very enjoyable. joy

    Master craftsmanship here, Jonathan. Sometimes your words remind me of Tennyson…sometimes Wordsworth. You have such command over words that they seem to line up or play at your bidding.

    Excellent write,
    Marianne
