CEASE/SIEZE

I cease standing so close to the mirror
admiring my reflection
- I can't see the honest-to-goodness me
I sieze myself and stand back
so I can have a heart and soul look

I cease resting on the comfortable carpet
- it is really a camouflaged trap
I sieze myself and rise up tall
so I can see the open window above

I cease cluttering the painting with showy images
- it distorts my definition
I sieze myself and breathe free
so I can portray my inner truth

I cease jumping into the river
and blaming the water for my wetness
I sieze the wave of my inheritance and flow
from being the slave to being the master

I cease projecting my shadow for my true self
I sieze the radiance of my sunlight
and shine all over the four corners

I cease playing around with weeds in the garden
I sieze my fertile seed and plant it
so I can bloom from where I am rooted

I cease using fancy words to warn people
about people who use fancy words
I sieze the declaration of my birthright
and speak what is deeply felt in the core of my being

But - I want to sieze the reward
before I cease the effort
Yet - I realize I must cease the effort
in order to sieze the reward

cease sieze cease sieze cease sieze cease sieze
sieze the reward cease the effort
cease the effort sieze the reward

DECLARATION FROM ON HIGH

BLESSED IS HE WHO FEELS AND KNOWS
THAT A SINGLE LONGING FOR THE ILLUMINATION OF HIS SOUL
CAN SWING WIDE THE DOORS
OPENING FROM A HOLE IN THE GROUND
TO THE MIGHTY SUMMIT ON THE MOUNTAIN
AND LEAD THE WORM TO THE DIVINE

BLESSED IS HE WHO IN SUCH LOFTY HOPE
STANDS ALONE LIKE NO OTHER, STEADY AND STRONG
AND YIELDS NOT TO THE FICKLE WINDS OF CHANGE
UNTIL THE WORLD STOPS TURNING IN TIME
AND WAITS TO GRANT HIM COMMAND

BLESSED IS HE WHO SHEDS FOREVER
HIS HANDED-DOWN BELIEF IN HIS OWN LIMITATIONS
AND TRUSTS THOSE STARS IN THE SKIES
FELT IN THE DEEP, IDEAL BEAT OF HIS HEART
AND FORCE OF HIS BEING

BLESSED IS HE WHO LIVES OUT HIS DREAMS
AND IN DOING SO CREATES HIS OWN REALITY
WITH EVERY BECKON OF HIS SPIRIT
RESULTING ALL OVER - INSIDE AND OUT
IN THE LIVING INCARNATION
OF THE EXPRESSION OF TRUTH

BLESSED IS HE WHO GREATLY ESTEEMS EXISTENCE
AS HE SEES HOW ACCESSABLE THE INFINITE VITALITY IS
AND HOW IT MAY BE UNFOLDED AND LIVED RIGHT HERE IN THIS INSTANT
UNTIL THE VERY REMEMBRENCE OF HIS PREVIOUS FAITH
IN HIS HELPLESSNESS AND HOPELESSNESS
MANIFESTED BY SICKNESS, FEAR, SCARCITY,
OLD AGE, AND DEATH
WILL HAVE VANISHED FROM HIS MIND

BLESSED IS HE WHO CELEBRATES HIMSELF
UNTIL HIS HOLINESS TURNS INTO MUSCLE AND TISSUE
AND BLOOD AND BRAIN
BECOMING THE BONE OF HIS BONE
THE FLESH OF HIS FLESH
THE BODY OF HIS SOUL
AND THE SOUL OF HIS BODY

BLESSED IS HE - BLESSED BE
BLESSED IS HE WHO CAN BLESSED BE.

MAN IN RED

(A Song-Poem Inspired By Johnny Cash's 'Man In Black')

Why? You wonder why I always dress in Red why I always wear bright colors from toe to head and why does my appearance always have a radiant shine well, there's a reason for these colors I call mine You see, I wear Red for people who have found delight and happiness for the ones who have learned how to transcend this worldly mess I wear Red because it gives off a vivid glow but most of all, I wear Red 'cause I get great joy out of doing so I wear Red because of what the art of positive thinking says about changing from an attitude of 'no' to an attitude of 'yes' about discovering what really is and what really is not about being who you truly are and letting who you aren't drop I wear Red for the beauty of the sunrise believing there are more important things than what money buys I wear Red as a reminder to always lead with my heart and first allow love and compassion to play their part Yes, I wear Red for a great transformation believing life can be one, big, glorious celebration and there's no need to struggle and strive visualizing a grander purpose in being alive Ah, I do have moments of gloom and doom, I'm telling you and many's the time when I'm feeling awfully blue but I stop looking on the dark side and look at the bright side instead by listening to my inner voice and putting on clothes of Red That's why I wear Red from toe to head... That's why you may call me The Man In Red. copyright1990bencaesar
