Converse

Conversation to make conversation or
Conversation to end them all?

Some converse with yes and no.
For others its a battelfield.

When both converse to listen to the other,
There is silence pristine.

Path

Beyond the mountains
The path waits for me
Direct understanding, perception
The  mountains need to be tread.

The goats fear the path
So does the shepherd.
Mist and snow
Make the path obscure.

With my mind and heart
Calmed to stillness
I see the light of
The trail blazers of the past.

Hopping from mountain top to top
The pathways of the mind
Have been nullified
Drinking from the stream of bliss.

I see The rainbow light
Illuminating the barren sky.
Beyond which
The path waits for me.

Oh Verse!

Oh Verse thou art the death of me.
Rhyming the sun with the moon.
Sitting on a mote of dust in the grand cosmic scale.
Pondering the meaning of life.
Couplets, triplets, quartets . . .
Till infinities end i beseech thee,
Please never part from me.
