Light Years Away - Only To Return

So not too too bad

Not to have been admitted

To the inner sanctum

Of the society of thieves

Thirty-seven years ago

This past summer

Take care to check the date

You know how my memory is

If I turn to sculpture

Will it be

To learn the inside out

Of the rest of my mind

Particularly to practice

That return from infinity

Where surely, at least once

I am bound to have travelled

Disappointment - But Keep On Trying

I dislike intellectuals, mostly

Because I am not in their gang

But also because I believe they stole

That which I thought belonged to me

Back again

In the domain of intellectuals

Who have once more refused me

Entrance to join their ranks

This time though there is hope

As I walk past several Francis Bacon originals

Also a Giacometti

Whose standing woman appears to lean

Unlike the Healing Man Buddha

Who silently promises

To make well

All in my world and its surroundings

All That I Am - Some Things May Be Missing

I am nothing more

Than mind, body

Soul, eros, and spirit

Which

Through memories, observations, and dreams

Gift me feelings, thoughts, and ideas

Opportunities that allow me

To plot a way forwards, and sideways

Through this singular journey of my one life

One Way In - There May Be Many Others

It is a different kind of thing

A love out of nowhere

Other than from the meditations

Of the morning

What is it that I wish to achieve

What wishes might I reach for

How might I discover the truth

The truth of that which I am seeking

Not now knowing where to start

Or what the out-turns may be

Misunderstanding how this works

Or where and how to find the clarity

After The Beginning

Why are there so so many mistakes

Do I need to proofread

Again and again and again

Yet why to make the mistakes

In the first place

Is it through a lack of concentration

Should I slow down the writing process

Oh, but that book

That was written using a different method

So, then the voice recording

Becomes a necessary step

Before publication

A final editing tool

To makes as best a job

As I, on my own, can possibly can

This will be the first book

To follow the three step system

Write, type, voice record, type right
