july 11th poem

Post by judih » July 11th, 2006, 3:35 pm

july 11thToday, 2:11 AM
7/11
for some a 24 hour excuse
to walk late night streets
when the heat steams the pavement
and mind wallows in solitude

11/7
for some a date in july
the eleventh day of a seventh month
inching into mid-july
peaking hot sun daze
eloquently lingering as if time knows no end

today
a midday happenstance
a moment when cool mind shirks from heated plights
when bombs and newspapers hold back
so that the inner wish takes form

let us praise the light within
let us kindle the sparks of hope
fan the hints and rumours of possibilities
join me in releasing hatreds
and fears
shake away doubts
you who know me not
need not trust me,
but trust in the will to grow stronger
if not us, who?
if not today, when?

but what canst thou say?
George Fox
Do we want peace?
Levi Asher

When I find my own peace
When I create peace in my own heart
I can join you


I trust in The Way

Your way
My way
and the highway

12th....13th...14th....
now.....the scream back
"yer a highway!"
i did it my way,

lao-tsu found the way
so did chaung-tsu,

bone it-
honed it till it shined
and on this the buddha dined..........

Home sweet home
from a hundred miles in space
everything is beautifull
not a starving child in sight
not one war torn mangled body to be seen
No borders to fight over
Beam me up Scotty

I will not study war no more
I will study The Way
