a blossom has no signature nor a snowflake not
even the giant oak nor the newborn child only man's papers and works
of art |
the moment we create music the moment we create
colour and shape the moment we create anything we could begin a voyage
to vanity and greed |
while listening to music of the masters feeling
refreshed and uplifted one cannot help but wonder what mankind would
do without these “mad” men |
when I entered the house lights flooded the room
but the being living there looked somber and lost for he had not found
his inner light |
I wandered from the St. Lawrence to the Fraser
from east to west coast, witnessed pines, lakes and mountains, cascades,
maple and bush beaver, moose and Canada geese but nowhere did I see
man creating all this |
the infant cries because he does not receive the young man
steals because he does not have the man kills because he was never given
|
what a beautiful kaleidoscope of colour it would
make if all the eyes met that read this |
the only bore to live with is oneself |
it is better to walk a Way than to run away |
when children are full of awe and wonder we send
them to school after graduation they are dull and empty the infant |
laugh o sun, cry o rain cry o sun, laugh o rain
but only your union will create a rainbow |
where is that line is there a line when is that
line where night ends and day begins |
if it takes one thousand years for one inch of
stalagmite to grow how then can we see the master's vision? |
rain, how honest you are you make me wet when
I walk in you |
before we blushed when we lied now we blush while
speaking the truth |
the branches shivered when birds left them to
fly south |
all we do with joy reflects joy a happy being
stays dry in the rain even when he is wet |
if we look at our lakes and oceans flowers and
forests waterfalls or snowcapped mountains with financial gain in mind
we have seen nothing at all |
those who lose contact with the heart could become
bitter and hard |
we take the matches from the infant after the
house is burnt down |
we can be so holy we can be so passive that we
will go out and kill to prove our ideals |
ruins stared at me while weeds waved in the wind
suddenly a flower came forth out of the ruins, out of the weeds out
of the wind |
“step aside,” said the worm to the leaf “no, I
won't,” said the leaf &ldqou;then I'll eat you,” said the worm but on the leaf
was a frog and the worm was eaten |
a worm crawled out of a coffin it went to the
lake fat and healthy a fish came by and chose it for its meal we ate
that fish for dinner |
the healer of minds gave his patient the wrong
pills those to calm his own nerves |
I attended an uninvited kinetic art show when
herds of impala and zebra ran by |
we see many ads about what to do or take for a
headache but never how to prevent one I wonder why |
many leaves came down the stream with the current
except one it struggled and fluttered against twigs and rocks but
when the big wave came to swallow it a butterfly flew away |
the a b c of our alphabet is our downfall Arrogance
Boredom Conceit |
the wildebeest was killed only to use its tail
for a flyswatter |
many years ago we read, talked and dreamed about
enlightenment; we still do |
a future astronaut emerged when the caterpillar
looked up from the edge of a leaf |
a shy bongo came out of the woods to kill its
rival |
I heard a future shriek of gazelle and zebra while
looking at the leopard cub |
the thorn-tree’s thorns hurt the lion’s paw but
feed the giraffe |
the night frost proved his talents when he left
a whole gallery of artworks behind on the windows |
jewels with tails and fins came by when I looked
under the surface of tropic waters |
myriad snowflakes created a symphony while they
danced down towards Earth |
the only bore to live with is oneself |
the moment we have fear of life we are dying |
can you hear the concert played by the wings of
butterflies? |
he held a gem in his hand and offered it she said,
“I don’t care for glass.” |
nature's honesty annoys man therefore she has
to go like the man who speaks the truth must go |
no matter how long you hang onto your branch,
brown leaf soon you will have to make way for the spring bud |
