Known without knowing*

Known without knowing*

Core inside houses the unknown

Until the day one realizes it to be shown

Deep within awaiting to be tapped

To awaken the source in a snap

Once a hole is pierced then that one will flow

For then the unknown is seen to be known

Forever is gone*

Forever is gone*

In a Universe so far and vast

Many of things so hard to grasp

Changes always coming from left to right

Not enough time to be with that, gone out of sight

So in essence with this, anchors are seen to be never

For what is now gone forever, is forever

Dom*Colucci 2012

Never left here but returned*

Never left here but returned*

It just happened to be one day

Something needed to be seen to be on its way

From its innocence to be so pure

It knew the direction life would take it so sure

So innocence was dropped, not be seen again

But one day this sage would learn right to begin

It embarked on a journey with pitfalls ahead

Gone now was dependency, facing trials instead

This one took a look in front of what was to be

Obstacles a plenty to make one to be free

Now there is a teacher in this while one is growing

But it is behind the scenes, not to be showing

A mountain that is there, needed to climb

It is not to get the summit, that will be fine

No the journey continues back as to get back down

And place one's foot solidly, back on solid ground

So in essence the journey is not over when reaches the top

It is actually in returning to be aligned right on the spot

Then one will know that it was well worth it in striving to be there

And to come back as one made it home to be here

Hold onto what?*

Hold onto what?*

Deep fear of who you are, is this to be?

It clenches you in its grip and does not make you free

It gets inside of you and sinks more and more

Not seeing with transparency, becoming more to ignore

So this is your attachment and willing to make you stay

Do not worry about holding on, nothing has your grip anyways

Dom*Colucci 2012

Ask and really look at it*

Ask and really look at it*

Come a thousand miles to settle a score

Many times to wonder what it was for

But the search always comes right back to this place

In its the arrival here, always an empty space

To keep looking as there is a believe to a solution 

The problem gets bigger, it becomes more the illusion

So one gets more confused, chaotic to ask

Discovery to the question was the answer, this was unmasked

Dom*Colucci 2012

Place myself is Zazen*

Place myself is Zazen*

I sit in a spot to be empty and free

To release all that clutter inside of me

To go deep inside and never look back

To keep my awareness in check and also intact

I know of such place that I can be once again

This place I know is called Zazen*

Dom*Colucci 2012

Eye to eye, breathe*

Eye to eye, breathe*

Eye on the target, one must breathe

In and out is the rhythm, until one is at ease

A slight pull back on the sling with the bow

Becoming one with the target both do know

A slight release from the pull, the arrow leaves

As now to narrow it down, the bulls eye to receive

Dom*Colucci 2012

Nothing of itself ends*

Nothing of itself ends*

From the top of the mountain to the bottom it goes

Rapidly it keeps continuity in its flow

Through the turns, bends and twist

Containing itself so fluidly, not a drop is missed

Out to the river where it seems it might end

Only to start the process all over once again

Dom*Colucci 2012

Who is that?*

Who is that?*

Delusions of grandeur, character not defined

Hidden in the corner within someone's "mind"

But further investigation, not to be found

It cannot be certain if it is ever around

But to take one look at oneself in the mirror

You will find no one there, when things get clearer

Dom*Colucci 2012

No act to follow now*

No act to follow now*

Once upon a time not so many years

A blink of an eye, as it hurried here

Though it felt as something was there but really was not

It dissolved into oblivion right on the spot

So now this world that I once use to be

No longer its actor to play the part in that movie

Dom*Colucci 2012

Nothing keeps us all*

Nothing keeps us all*

Stillness on the frozen plain

Walk in stability, all is the same

For what is not with being, it is left out there

It is a weight to the consciousness not to be aware

Gather all nothingness that one can saturate with

Absorb into the void and see effortlessly that this is a gift

Dom*Colucci 2012

Substance in a breeze*

Substance in a breeze*

Become of the stillness and hear no sound

The texture of a nothingness is all around

But a vibe is felt in the void so near

It is coming this way so crystal clear

A mild disturbance that is chaos from peace

Creation of a substance not to be seen, wind in a breeze

Dom*Colucci 2012

Cleaned but is it clear?*

Cleaned but is it clear?*

Why cannot one move on where they are?

They have it in their perspective, to see so far

But the window is cleaned as we see it here

So look again it is a barrier that must be cleared

In making this more open, a more transparent view

Remove what is there, it is a veil in front of you

Dom*Colucci 2012

The wise stay*

The wise stay*

Once it just happened, along the way

It became of itself and started to stay

It had no where to go, or special plans

For some reason or another, knows where it stands

Though it does agree that it is on its own

For it is a rock that is stable, wisdom within all alone
