August Blue Moon Spontaneity

Walkin home after group therapy session
passing graveyard intersection
still high off meditation
essence of poetry flowing through
Berkley Michigan
enlightened path begins where it ends
not something achieved or attained but
a radiant realization felt from within
lovely roots beginning to show through
cracking concrete rustle of leaves twigs
acorns snapping beneath falling feet
August blue moon warm breeze delivering
visions of eternal June tendril ivy clusters
mirroring those visions of eternal earth Eden
mothering essence of the father flowing through creation

Police cruiser idol at the corner
vigilant eyed officer radioing back dispatch
fallen berries squash paint splatters atop cement sidewalk
a little offer to the old broken comb
passing tow trucks and suburban homes
nothing but peace and calm thoughts waiting
for traffic to clear at redbrick crosswalk
Aware any moment time could suddenly stop
yet another silver-dove-gray squad car
police performing routine traffic stop
mother in minivan pulled over in vacant
apartment parking lot
Hip brother walks turned on smile cane and
little Caesars pizza box
Sun radiant as ever 4: 00 late August afternoon delight
80 degree weather everything shining bright within my sight
Right mow this moment this life all is all right
Universe in alignment souls Earth souls preparing
to take heavenly flight

Evident signs of poetry everywhere
June Moon Kristea's
Butterfly bakery and Al Meena's
windows dressed sweet
wedding cake and visions
Jets Carenet Cleaner's of Camelot
Shanti Yoga Acupuncture alliance
across the corner Tootsie and Talulah's gift shop
the jeweler's bright brimstone Diamond display
simply beautiful reads salon sign
yes I do agree -

ah the joy of simple small town poetry
essence of the muse freely flows through Berkley
signs and Logos like a locksmith opening my mind like a key

I was told I would write this poem spontaneously
poetry sprouting revealing itself to me effortlessly

eyes streaking tears that strange night
I did peer into the central light of love
heart of all creation seeing the ceiling
revealing all limits to be mere illusion
soft ray of clarity truth beyond all
internal mind confusion
the divine light between vision and hallucination
everything in the world written in poetry At the
end of this earth journey awaits our Kingdom of Eternity
