there is a silence of wisdom and a silence of ignorance
i wander in both, one is a cave another is an ocean
between them, lies a journey that is timeless
its eons measured in light of awakening
stillness holds the reins of its chariots
the mind runs on the fields of perception
a breath unfathomable spreads beneath
sowing and harvesting all dream movements
the caveman and the monk
never meet at the shores
one dies before the emergence of the other
the waves crash, the rocks fall
the dust of evolution
settles in slow motion
the tired traveler
returns to his abode
and looks at the souvenir
of a caravan that never was
and yet it was carved
like a temple statue
from the melody of a boundless mirror
he shall worship the journey
that never ends
its mystery forever
cherished in reflections

My Dear Red
I have seen you in many shades, in valentine cards, in dangling earrings, in a silk scarf, a bouquet of flowers or just an old half used pencil. I always loved how you made me feel, alive and kicking…as if emerging from a womb. You were no doubt my favorite. Only time I didn't want to see you was through a wound, mine or others.
