deniers deny ...

Deniers deny what they don’t understand
Believers believe what they do.
Whatever you do, whatever you say
Never confuse the two.

Those who believe what they don’t understand
Or deny what they truly believe
Are caught in a spot without any hope
Of anything new to receive.

Wending my way ...

Wending my way on a sunny day I came upon a hill
Should I go up or just have a cup of tea and wait until
It’s time to go back on the very track that brought me here
Or should I climb to that summit sublime and overcome my fear.

The ascendency ...

The ascendency of the ungodly will persist
Till ascendency of the godly be proclaimed
The measure of ungodliness needed
To bring about this change
Is the measure of the victory
That ultimately arrives.

Was opportunity ...

Was opportunity ever divorced from vicissitude
Or progress achieved without crisis?
Is crisis vanquished or opportunity seized
Without some degree of change?

Not by adaptation
Nor even transformation
Only through transcendence
Can you succeed
Never causing a leaf to fall.

For God alone is the Healer
And God alone the Creator,
The Mover, the Sustainer,
And the Goal.

How many worlds ...

How many worlds are within us 
And how many are without
No number is large enough 
No time long enough
And no space great enough
Yet here they are.

We come from dreams 
And become memories
Yet always we are alive
And always we will be.
Who dreamed of us
And who will remember
As we remember them
And dream them also?

We unearth bones
And artifacts and pieces of our past
Bits from the container
But nothing of our lives.
The wholesome parts- the best of us
Are with us as we speak.
And always will be watching
From worlds greater than this.

Spirits are not buried
Or even petrified
They rise not from the earth
But from the heart inside
Where time and space are folded
And all these worlds reside
What a fancy place 
For eternity to hide.
