  The Jewel is in the Lotus
  Greetings from the yellow, spinning sunflower
  shining golden luminescence
  shot forth
  from its opening green lotus center;
  all is well!
  Listen to the message of love
  and respond to no other.
  Know you cannot hurt
  or be hurt,
  as you develop gratitude,
  appreciation, and sharing.
  The call is not for martyrs,
  but for teachers
  to expose the fallacy
  of all forms of separation.
  Think as God thinks,
  expand that feeling;
  and you will believe it.
  Open your heart
  and receive your daily comfort;
  be lifted from weak to strong,
  lack to abundance,
  pain to peace,
  fear to Love.

  Headshot
  What price the intangible
  full moon as it shines in the clear, star-filled midnight sky,
  the smell of burning leaves
  within a warm autumn breeze,
  or the scent of your lover
  after the heat of passion’s play?
  Pennies for thoughts, dollars for sacrifices,
  salvation has no cost;
  can only be freely given,
  never taken away.
  Gazing into her face is redemption enough,
  deserving a debit
  one can never repay.
  Reminded from dawn to dusk
  of the pursuit of love and light,
  to dedicate each day.

  Break-time
  Is sleep a sanctuary
  from the pain of desire,
  searching for satisfaction,
  lying about why happiness eludes you?
  Can you look away,
  abandon emotion recklessly,
  playing it safe stoically,
  losing your image in a mirror
  with no reflection?
  Is emptiness a cure
  for the psyche’s clutter
  so deeply disarrayed
  that priorities have no apparent order
  and love is hidden
  within a rubbled-scatter?
  Renew by slipping from the material
  for a while,
  reawakening
  to the real you.
