Close your eyes
if your heart so desires,
the surrounding forest
does not disappear.
The trees stand tall.
The grass still grows lush.
Animals make a home
and the birds a nest.
If I close my eyes,
the forest remains;
it lives.
As does this forest of love
I keep hidden
within the parts of me,
where light has no reason to travel.
It grows still, for the ways of nature,
life and the sun,
though easily perceived,
are seldom accepted.

‘The Lilac Sky’
I seek the path that
takes me through
the lilac sky
framed in rose coloured glass,
to the road beyond
the limits of the eternal sun.
I seek the universe within you,
that something, which
you seek in me;
the light catching fire
in your eyes
and the dance of a smile
on my lips.

Who is the sea and who am I,
I do not know.
I just know how to flow like the waves,
to and fro.
I flow without question,
I flow without hinderance.
I am destruction.
I am absolution.
I am the cradle of life.
I am a cemetery.
The giver of life
and home to death.
I am. I am. I am
I am beyond thought.
Where comprehension ends,
I begin.

There is beauty in this world that is more than what the eyes can perceive. This beauty is as natural as nature, as apparent as instinct, and rare, much like common sense. This beauty is of and beyond this world. To understand it, you have to let go any preconceived notions you have and wipe your memory clean. Forget what you know of beauty, to understand and feel that, which cannot be seen.
