Flame of Breath...be there no tame..

 

Flame of Breath

every experience, every need, every perception

every thought, every longing, every deception

to KNOW THYSELF from each consideration of life

be it of anticipation, of vision, of glory, of strife

a moment, comes to be both the present and the past

every breath of BEING, a seed upon consciousness cast

heed the sounding of change and each calling desire

quell not the flame of breath that feeds passion’s fire

a vision, a quest, a knowing, a hankering within heart

be this a telling, a beckoning from which ne'er depart

feel the breath, the fire, the knowing of life's flame

the inhalation the exhalation, the glory, be there no tame.

Flame of Breath

every experience, every need, every perception
every thought, every longing, every deception
to KNOW THYSELF from each consideration of life
be it of anticipation, of vision, of glory, of strife
a moment, comes to be both the present and the past
every breath of BEING, a seed upon consciousness cast
heed the sounding of change and each calling desire
quell not the flame of breath that feeds passion’s fire
feel the fire and the flame... 
be there no tame... 
be there no tame...

Our CLAIM ...

Written in the light of the afternoon sun...

Our Claim...

Seekers and doers to life our claim

Visions, dreams, our hearts to name

We look to vistas vast and far

To the telling of a distant star

We hold cards in our hand

Seek we what they reveal, what they command

A rune we choose and be we told

A truth from words ever new, ever old

And in silence our pulsing heart be heard

Know thyself, Know thyself, BE the WORD.

Thyself Claimed

Pay heed to your call of soul, of heart

To emotions, sensations, from truth shan't depart

Restlessness, the beckoning for attention, a vision clear

Confront the drama, shackles that bind and hold to fear

Haunts of judgment be they named, be they willfully tamed

In TRUTH know thyself, thyself, thyself claimed.
