Poetry: Who is the Author?
by Liam
Life is a pen in hand
Writing me across the pages of today
Giving me the opportunity to question
Not only the author but also the plot
The moments of recognition and inspiration
Where my context is set against my content
Should I laugh or cry?
Should I live or die?
Rough the winds which blow my way
Or could I ride the gusts
Which thrust against me, stay
In quiet peace
A place to write the script
With which to create the way.
Poetry: The Other
by Liam
We have always known one the other
Out there beyond tomorrow
Way before yesterday’s sunset
We attract like the waxing and waining of the moon
Each a part in the same dynamic
Dancing laughing joyful partners in this world
Love thirsty drinking life
Hungry, eating from the full table of today
One of subtle substance together
We simply vibrate on the same frequencies
Everything within you, without much touch it’s
Magical too.
Poetry: The Music of Noise
by Liam
“The quieter you become the more you are able to hear.” Rumi
Before making quietude my practice
Before the sweetness of silence caressed my ears
Before stillness graced the kitchen table
Noise noise noise
Swept around my hearing all the day
While the music remained unheard
Pour that quality invisible, sweet and rich
Into your listening, your life, your love
Hear the whisperer
Hear the heart sweetener
Hear the music deepener
By making quietude, my practice
By the sweetness, of silence which caress my ears
By stillness, graced upon the kitchen table.
Poetry: The Teacher
by Liam
I have been a teacher
I still am but it’s not you I’ve taught
It’s not even those children
Whose sight is on a future
We cannot yet see
The teachings come to my understanding
The lessons learnt come from my heart
This beautiful subject is Life itself
Where the master is radiant rich graciously
Enfolding within me, the wisdom that Change
Is the way of becoming ever closer to our magnificence.
Poetry: Beauty
by Liam
Always succumb to the power of your beauty
It will lift your insights
From the mundane to the multiplicity of experience
Take you from the simple to the ecstatic
Beauty is inherent
Beauty is intrinsic
Beauty is ingrained
Pulsing willfully just beneath the thin skin of your awakening
Poetry: Of no Matter
by Liam
My eloquence is of no matter
Words, letters, poetry will come green in spring,
Will sing, then fall again from the tree
What’s in you matters, not in these
Scratches which quaver wet across a page
It’s in thee, which these words profound have found
Awaken the experience of universality
Cloak this gratitude fain about thee
For it will feed thy life
You create, free the humble day from strife.
Poetry: Sight
by Liam
Everything and everyday we observe
We look and see the shapes the flowers, colors
So now I’ll close my eyes
Cut out the light
Yet let my one hidden eye behold the bright
This inner eye is about the true
This light is about insight
Irrespective of in or out
Dark or bright, just love sight
Enable Love to overwhelm everything and anything you see
For joy happiness and peace are it’s reward
It’s there, it’s here, it’s you, it’s me
Poetry: Go!
by Liam
When you see beauty, then feel it with your tears
When you hear music and experience pure joy in your heart
When you dance, sparks flying from your fingernails
This beautiful
This exquisite
This lovely
Is in you
Is with you
Is the part of you which is the universe
Ecstatic in the revelation of itself
Moving in the motion of its magnificence
Expressing energetic love in the recognition of its own awakening
Go, go, go,
It’s yours anyway!
Poetry: The Darkness
by Liam
Consider despair darkness and defeat
How each gets here is unique
What a decrepit house they keep
Truth is this, here we are subjugated by a lie
A lie so perfidiously untrue
It’s needle pierces through the eye
Blinding binding chastising, why
Open the gateway with forgiveness
Filling this dark house in light
Throw open the windows with Gratefulness
Sharing thanks for life
Take your freedom in its
singing
The larks joy is in its flight.
