Stepping with Care

Heart burning with fire;
Breath calming as the wind.
Stepping mindfully;
Conscious with every step.

Not knowing where to go;
following my instincts.
True to the core;
Returning to Truth once more.

I trip,
I fall.
I get up,
I begin again.

Even the enlightened,
May fall.
The pain,
Shorter lived.

Stay true to the self;
following the path laid before.
With the ups and downs;
Learning as we go.

Darkness returns,
Light dissipates.
Quiet the mind;
Finding Light once more.

It is a cycle,
That continues until the end.
Enjoy the ride,
Screaming wahoo all the while!

One with You

I am one with you,

you are one with me.

I smile and you smile back.

I grimace and you grimace back.

I look to the heavens,

and they shine down on me.

I look to God above,

and She looks upon me.

 

Eyes shut,  I see no longer;

a new world begins.

I hear voices all around me,

mostly self thoughts.

Why have I not seen so clearly before?

 

I failed to see the darkness…
