Penetrating Mountains and Rivers


Silver Mountains and Iron Cliffs
Swallowed by Valleys and Rivers
a droplet stretches
   stretches...
     stretches....
as globule individuates;
divides into individual
in division dual
en divisio deux

learning how to walk on rocks
deserts harsh and hopeless towns
a life come to an end
last May
junkies, Australians and drunks

sauntering in with a guilty grin
from long roads out in revelry
flower child, green inside, would not accept 'REALITY'

silver mountains, iron cliffs
petey moors of the ire green
long cold drizzly scruft and chin
claiming more than i knew,
more than i did,
more than i earned justifiably

wild horses dragging mountains
wild monkeys shaking trees
entitled to a life of more
a life of ease and pleasantry
iTantrum restless stormed the door
but no, i sat, and there begins
ammend my birthright peasantry

the long of darkness, life in mind
life outside
glass snow divine
the little forest depth unfurl
the emrald jade-green sanctuary


what "I" knew and who "I'd" been preoccupied the core of "Me"
a scraping fit, the painful grind, steelwool and oak-axe-foliate
through the bitter mists of memory
"scrubbed clean by the spring" Jays and Cardinals sing of
sweat with sapling and granite wind
humble
humble,
teachable
reachable
humble
humble
once again

Thoughts arise, be aware
Aware of this, immediately lose
Continuously forget object;
Self becomes one piece

When winter is heavy, wool is warm
When bones are dreary, hotsprings are a dream
When stomach is empty, one tomato is a meal
   All things rising together

When work is long, rest is thourough
When life is ease, breeze is a storm
When heart is deep, storm is a breeze
  Roots and leaves nourish the fruits

World around, running is returning
Peaks are waypoints for valley tramps
Go or dont go
Try or fail
  Without the universal treasure, one is poor in any country, in any season

Goldenmorn, brozeneve
Wood is wood, ash is ash
Diagnose, cease
Sow, cultivate
  To say "Medicine! Medicine!" is not enough

Head up!  Rump back!
Ears to Shoulders! Tail to Tip!
Pull the Tanden! Push the Tanden!
Cradle the Cosmic Egg!
  Silver Mountains, Iron Cliffs.
