Feet of time
       littered around the fears of me
closing in rapidly
       then slowly backing away
direction, holds dialoged beliefs
       we’ve built our lives on
spectacular illusions, drips a flow
of intellect
        knowing both joy & sorrow
as expressions of fulfillment
        which appear real
as we accept each new sunrise
         it is what we believe it to be
is the who of us
         essence of our conditioned reality
fleeting thoughts of experiences
         searching for the self
utter options become our
         high points of each day
plastic covers, yes,
         until we  hear the door beat open
tripping over certainties
         love based on a scheme of love
is certain to suffer
         the impression of a brainchild

        compassion has no target
in that runs complete freedom
        enlightenment
interest in the world falls away
         and there
finds the wakefulness
         of a consciousness unafraid
of disconnection
         purpose directed

I've really missed reading your profound thoughts, lady LeeJ!

Another keeper for my LeeJ folder.  Thank you.  I've said it before and will say it again...
The experience of there being an "experiencer" experiencing experiences...is a wonderful experience. I hear it often referred to as...LIFE.  ::smiles::   I'm glad I had nothing else on my schedule.

Lee, good to see you back and I sigh as I reread this because there are so many lines that I can feel as if I had written them myself.  

Life seems to be passing by so fast right now and I have no way of stopping it to "smell the flowers"...when I do get a chance to stop it, my head has hit the pillow.

Lee, you are so right. We are only the sum of our experiences and what we know to be true. How we accept our ups and downs and how we react to them, show us a lot of who we are.You are a teacher.. enjoyed, martyjo

Siyo LeeJ what is in life holds most fear for self,that self is not ready for the truth. We dance with truth,with knowledge,wisdom,growth,and yet back away dip and sway,until it is forced at times to face and we then find,eh,there was nothing to fear so much after all.And we find we have grown stronger in the battle,yes?Sigi for this sharing I find much of self within the words!


  granny!

which appear real
as we accept each new sunrise"

~ Amen, Dear Poetess!

I appreciate the "flow of intellect" from your poetic pen.

You have a knowing, understanding, and compassionate soul.

Loving Light,
Linda

Glad to have you back

This, LeeJ, is a most meaningful write!  I too highlight -

"compassion has no target
in that runs complete freedom
        enlightenment
interest in the world falls away
         and there
finds the wakefulness
         of a consciousness unafraid
of disconnection
         purpose directed"

Wonderful!
