Moon Shines
It shows through
Above the skyscrapers
Misty clouds veil it
As if there is another dimension on the other side
All of these fragments of time
Mutilated thoughts unwind
Manifest the best
and forget the rest
Let the sun shine down upon your quest
Do your best in this test
His memory came to me after a meditation
The grief over his passing
and the realization of the profoundness oh his existence
Don’t frustrate your love with the things that obscure you
Don’t obscure your love with the things that frustrate you
There is an omni present intelligence staring at us
It knows us
When you stare at yourself in the mirror
yourself stares back at you
Time is a strange being
Who I am got mystified.
A new life
Let the smell of jasmine soak the midnight air
A blossom in time
I held her hand while she died
Her eyes staring into a distant land
I cried
So awesome was her face
It was an archetype
so awesome the warm drenched life that left her body
her body that filled with toxins while her kidneys shut down
her face that glowed while she struggled for every breath
I held her hand while she died, ran my fingers through her hair
And when the call came late at night
I smelled the jasmine in the air.
I felt exactly when she passed, exactly when she passed
Don’t fear death, don’t fear anything
This life will not last.
I knelt down beside her lifeless body and bowed my head
I felt her looking at me
But she was dead
I felt all the time that is gone
All the memories of my life
Everything that is no longer here
Everything that is to come
I felt her presence that night
Though her body was lifeless and cold
I pressed my lips onto her forehead and kissed her as slowly as I could
A kiss that will last an eternity
A kiss that she will take with her
So hard is this loss to bare
I smelled the midnight jasmine in the air.
Everything is sweet
Everything is abundant
Life is complete
Nothing is redundant
She tells me she doesn’t get out much anymore
There are white clouds in the sky
I tell her to let go
It’s okay to die
I ran my fingers through her hair
And when the call came late that night
I smelled the jasmine in the air
