Subtly Sudden

When I die, 
don't mourn 
or pray, instead
I feel, I'd respond better
to subtle puzzles
you might ponder
whose solution is me

...and I would pop
on the other side, if only
for a moment...

tethered in your space
yet unbounded

still as no ripple
on a pond

deep within 
the closed eye of you

surrounded by no time
surrounded by all time

such is prayer,
such is death?
(no god is God,
as God is god, 
you whisper,
then you ponder,
and You?) 

And I pop
for that moment

Viva La Evolucion

There are many of you,
well organized, strong,
brave, determined

So have your own revolution,
there where You live!

Stop riding on the coattails
of my dead sons and daughters

Now for the Children

May these take root before frost settles in,
no longer simply a hoary old saw,
there is little time left for the growing,
and harvest will come early, if at all,
such are the fields we sow and reap these days
