Years ago, I received this SMS: "People come into your life for a reason, a season or a lifetime."
After much contemplation over the following weeks, I wrote this piece.
PEOPLE
They are all so wonderfully awesome
miracles on two
some in hindsight – yeah!
reason people
season people
lifetime people
divine beings of note
all appear on your request
But still, you question the power of thought
thought creates matter
did you not know that?
You look up and eyes meet
a smile with purity and momentarily gentleness
skyrocket across the emptiness
as if being summoned by the Great One
body talk is warm and fuzzy
then the moment is gone
forever
memories understood or not
is eternal
you wonder
the reason
for this titbit experience
be grateful for this miracle!
You requested help to resolve the loneliness
a challenge that seems beyond perception
stepping in the right direction at the Y
the lights are changing so fast
it seems like mono colour
it is time for a new season
stop
smell the miracle on two
cheerful and breezee
single-minded and self-aware
kitted with the solvent for mono lights
stroking the outline skeleton
in soft gentle
pastels of beingness
time stands at rest, it seems
weeks and months are like minute moments
filled with grace and joy
the Y is no more
perception now is a clear moment of brilliant excellence
mirror of new life
Solutions
perhaps even severe hurt
then
the miracle becomes smoke and drifts away
be grateful for the miracle!
The “I” is perfect in its uniqueness
though this seems empty
unfulfilled
like rusted forgotten junk
a sculptured pink lemon
ego forever searching for peace in space of mind
but forever finding no shoulder
to nestle against
leaving the heart like black parker ink without the black
to picture all of this in your mind
will drive you up the wall
smell the miracle on two
a lifetime in the making
but on your request
the lemon is yellow
the ink is rich black
Moments of excellence
and childish surprise
suddenly becomes a lifetime of exuberance
one gentle touch of endless
excruciating
intense
timeless bliss
be grateful for the lifetime miracle!
Do you understand the miracles now?
bless them
embrace each one in every moment
never stop
share your miracle with all …
with yourself!
