oh life what matters in the end
ol' Sol rises, arcs over, descends
all hate and love are but a blink
in larger schemes of time a wink
time approaches an ending encroaches
a dark full view, whole moon turns new
and shadows disappear in the night
no form of light to reference to
that all souls walk into twilight
after a lifelong experienced time
wiser became from sweet afflictions
taken for truth well past the prime
in crisp clear corners of my eyes
i see the autumn of our lives
what happened last repeats repast
in wake of death, past last breath
oh, lay my bones on plains unknown
bleach them out to shades of cream
let them dry as life goes by
my spirit may wander a soulful dream

Today, I woke up feeling physically ‘crappy’, and the mood is still persisting…,
That’s correct, it is just a mood…,
And, because, I normally feel great physically, I start panicking when this ‘crappiness’ grips me, and I start thinking ‘wonky’…,
I’m starting to come out of it just a tad, but not by much, mind you, maybe 5% or so, so, let’s take what I say with a huge pinch of salt,
I may renege on some of it tomorrow, or next year, or whatever…
Anyways, it is late afternoon, and I begin reading one of my favourite spiritual books in the hopes that I may get some ‘enlightenment’,
I was lucky, I hit upon a fantastic stretch in the book, and my noggin starts workin’,
I get up to get a drink of water from the kitchen, and there was Molly, the beloved’s mutt,
It is an uncharacteristically cold and rainy winter’s day in Limassol, today,
As I’m sipping the water, I look down at Molly,
And I thinks to myself:
“God, why would anyone choose to incarnate as this mutt,
When we have so many other endless choices,
For that matter, why did I choose to incarnate as me, when I coulda’ have appeared as Sean Connery or something…”,
Although who knows, I may have dome Sean Connery in some distant past,[the equivalent thereof, anyway…, lol…, or ‘future’],
My train of thought gravitates back to Molly,
Lowly hound, serving the beloved…,
Aaahhh, that’s a clue,
Molly is ‘serving’ the beloved, and when I think of the utter pleasure the beloved gets from Molly,
I start to thinks further,
I thinks of the incredible love she has for Molly,
What constant companionship Molly provides,
What joy she gives to the beloved as she accepts a dog biscuit from her…,
“My god…,”, me thinks, I could not give such unselfish love by incarnating as the ‘lowly’ Molly in a million years of trying,
I have played nurse to a friend or two and nearly ended up jumping off the proverbial 13th floor…,
So I bend down and look long and deep into Molly’s eyes,
And I swear, I thought I caught a glimpse of the utter divinity in Molly, and it choked me up and I wanted to weep uncontrollably,
But, my damn proprietary stopped me, I will weep when I’m alone,
Not sorrowful tears, mind you, but tears of incredible and ineffable joy,
Tears of liberation from my enigmatic existence…,
As I realized intensely that Molly was living an extraordinarily complex life thru serving the beloved,
And I was humbled, and I was grateful to Molly, ‘the lowly mutt’ for the cosmic lesson she taught me today…

The night skies was without a single star
voices from beside me seem miles away
confussion was etched on my weary face
only my voice i hear in this deserted cave.
I searched the earth far & wide
voyaging the deep blue waters without focus
my ship forced through the stormy tides
but in the middle of sea,it lost it's course.
With hands akimbo,i sat on deck
if it ends here,which story will i tell
the thought gave me a sweaty neck
but just then,the lord himself appeared.
What i've always searched for was within me
waitin earnestly for me to call on Him
& just as he spoke,i found relief
the pang in me suddenly lost it's grip
He commanded the winds to fill my sail
& as he left,He Said 'i'll be with you always'.
