SO MUCH FOR MASS MAILINGS
In her house
mass mailings
clutter up her screen
they come from those who mail
with mass mailings
lots of them she’s seen
Some want to share
their findings
so she too will live
with other’s funnies
or attention getters
or beauties
or words profound
(There may be other reasons
she hasn’t found)
On the freebie screen
forwarded messages
clutter
and make her stutter
and sputter and mutter
words of frustration
while trying to keep up
with all that comes
on the screen
to be seen
She’s exhausted and ready
for hibernation
Messages postman delivered
are opened and enjoyed
Slow mail to her
shows thoughtfulness
and later she’ll respond
Or if e-mail is the way to go
they should be careful what they send
or down the delete road
it will have gone
She took this route
to tune the “massives” out
She knows they want to share
with everyone they know
It is their way to go
She doesn’t care how many
messages they send
to others
push a button,
contact a million friends
but as for her
she wants to feel she’s special
Now she feels she’s in a crowd
so heed her advice
If they want her to read their mail
know she prefers the personal touch
be selective in what is sent
Thank you very much
‘Tis only her way
to control the flow
How effective will it be?
only time will tell
and then she’ll know
And don’t take her off
your friendship list.
Be not offended
It’s not intended
to stop the mail
The airwaves are full
of the allness
of everything, everywhere
punching ‘forward’ is so easy
It takes so little thinking
It takes time and thought
to think
and share

NO BEGINNING AND NO END
Have you ever wondered
how man
began?
The tiny seed from which man grows
where is its source, where from?
It contains the fullness
of the sun
and moon and stars and everything
that is and was and is to be
That infinitesimal speck of life
becomes a giant of potential
and discovery
From seed to babe to more of life it grows
but how and when it starts
no one knows for sure
The tiny seed expands and bursts
with millions of energy thrusts
After serving time in earth’s
vast universe
of opportunity
and enrichment
focus shifts, seeing
death as birth
The infinitesimal is the infinite
complete
always here, growing,
changing viewpoint only
showing multi sides of self
no beginning and no end
Energy pulsates here and there
in varied moods and sizes
but always stays the same
with surprises
that are not so
but just awakenings
to the present presence
of life’s infinitude
the tiny seed, complete
no beginning
and no end.

IT’S ALL HERE
The universe is here
at our fingertips
air waves are pulsating
with energy
enveloping our senses
giving us freedom
releasing restriction
showing, flowing
glowing with freshness
and renewal
The world is full
of whatever we choose
wherever we are
however we go
the world is ours
to explore
truth appears
and sets us free
now and forever
all of you and me
Energy is within us
and on the big screen too
when we switch a station
what do other channels do
where do they go
They are here but quite unseen
they go no where
for they have always been
Tune in the world
and feel the force
of the universe, here
within easy reach
Focus the mind
How far do air waves stretch
they are everywhere
and contain all things
Wherever we are
we are the center
We can sail on wings
of morning, noon or night
Our universe is complete
Waves of pulsating light
reveal our world
here and now
instantly available
always here
whole and forever
focused

LEAVES ARE DANCING
Leaves are dancing
swaying wildly
taking energy
and throwing it around
resting in the silences
ready for another
fling at swaying wildly
With a violent relentless
sweep of fury
wind releases all its power
you can feel its strength
you can sense its quietness
before the storm of rage
tumbles all
that stands upon its path
The wind you can not see
but you can hear it whistling
you can survey its damage
The way of nature humbles man
and makes him realize that
his place in life’s
great scheme of things
allows no compromise
with acceptance of God
as the power and leader of mankind
Disrupt the natural flow
of energy’s control
and the world turns upside down
showing once again
that man must trust a power
that is higher than himself
The energy of nature
is the power
The best of life comes forth
from every situation
Wake up, man, and see
and feel the strength of truth
and sense the power of love
taking energy of life
and swaying wildly
flowing freely

THE TOUCH OF LOVE
the touch of love
shares
cares
the warmth of love
holds
enfolds
the beauty of love
frees
sees
the expanse of love
increases
releases
boundless
no scaffolding to climb
endless
treasures to find
challenges to face
paths to explore
a world of adventure
and more, yes, even more
love is the answer
love is the cure
making every hardship
a mole hill to endure
thinking turns
around
positive thoughts
abound
with a glance
a look or smile
each one uses a
different style
to convey the message
every minute of every hour
Love soothes, Love reigns
Love is healing power
