Heart’s Desire
One day while in a downcast mood
I walked in mountain solitude
Absorbed within deep heartache
Particular paths I did not take
Late the hour on that day
Recalling not footstep’s way
When open eyes I could not keep
Dreamlessly did I sleep
Awakened by morning’s light
Untold beauty awed my sight
Alpine meadow sweet and fair
Surely God’s very lair
On every blade dew did [...]

Who says this love
Will set you free
When that love
Knows the beauty of jail
Who says this love
Is a consuming fire
When that love
Is a river of bliss
Who says this love
Is the light of God
When that love
Is dark Mystery
Who says this love
The soul hungers for
When that love
Devours the false
Here is the secret
Of this and that
HU says…

Past midnight
The moon crept in
Announcing Your arrival
Grumbling
Accompanied my hasty departure
On the bare roof
Sheer
Night-sky majesty
Flooding me
With gratitude

Down
Down
Down
Into the depths
Of the human condition
Down
Into the saline depths
A shower of tears
A river of tears
An ocean of tears
Into the depths
Of being human
Pain and suffering
Beyond the light
Darkness and despair
Beyond hope
And the well of longing
Beyond the anguish of the soul
Stripped of its treasure
Down
Into the depths
Intimate knowledge
Dark waters
Births a real human being
Blesses the soul
Frees the heart
A radiance
From the [...]

What is this space we say we need
and violently refuse to cede
Our bodies willingly we’ll bleed
if our words they fail to heed
Seeking love with heart sincere
a bloodied child sheds a tear
Our cause is just, the course won’t veer
such hypocrites, we have no peer
From global wars to marriage spats
righteousness wears white hats
And just like hissing alley cats
soon [...]

Every morning
The sun
Entices the tulip
Out of herself
Petals wide open
To Living Daylight
Beauty dances
With radiance
One day
Will open her
Completely
To birth
A nightingale

Time is rushing
From everywhere
All directions
Inside and out
Past – future
Physical time
Emotional time
Psychological time
Time
Is a single
Moment
