Hearing Nature’s Cry

Nothingness returning…All There Is

Sunrise over Lake Butte des Morts, Oshkosh, WI-taken by author

Sitting quietly in the Collective
Hearing Nature’s cry
People discourse
Ebb and flow
Pounding head
Clarity swift as a blink
Listening to a balanced melody
Dissonance or harmonic
Self eval weighing of reality
Morning sip nourishing thought passerby
Abandoning self-defeating past-present-future
Giving thanks for sadness

Grief

Heartbreaking present be
Zero Point magical transmuted realities
Returning to the Canvas
Creating corporeality
Bowing to Collective
How might I serve
Sharing gifts
Sing Sang Sung unto Thee.

Heartbreak. Heart lifting.

Oh, questions pouring in
Sadness attaches to darkened feelings
Confusion sits at the tables end
Contemplated reality sets a plate
Gazed and glazed
Outwardly approach
Songbirds gather round
Singing hearts joyous melody

What’s this?

Happy Squirrel eating nuts upon a shed
Inwardly return
Joyous smile henceforth
What was I thinking?
Forgotten once again…nothingness returns
All There Is.

~Ani Po


As I sit with the confusion of the collective — gathering thoughts — embodying this feeling, making it my own. Breathing into the darkened reality — transmuting thoughts — deeper understanding, footing all the same.

Oh the deliciousness
Of your sweet makings.
Nourishing thought
Sweet intentions.
Compiled as whole
Circular or imperfect form.

Great fall
Certain with gravities pull.
Broken
Into thousand of pieces.

Scattered across the floor,
Tears of heartache.
Gathering the pieces
Enjoying it still.
Study makings of
Creating a delightful recipe of self.

From the brokenness of another
Made whole once more.
Oh the deliciousness
Of our sweet makings.

Nourishing thought
Sweet intentions.
Compiled as whole
Circular or imperfect form.
The Way the Cookie Crumbles.
