Brilliance passing through*

Brilliance passing through*

Oh night of darkness, blanket passed

The day of sunshine has come at last

There was some clouds that came and gone

But now how radiant to see the dawn

The trees and flowers arise from the ground

To grow so much higher without a sound

The dew dissipates, nature gets its last drink

For roots to go deeper and deeper they sink

Alas moving onward to brilliant afternoon

And hang around a bit more before it sees the moon

But what a picture that is now in plain view

While the day is around showing its beauty to you

Balance, the present always is*

Balance, the present always is*

Life makes the wheel go round and round

To attach to it there is suffering that abounds

Go away from inside to the spoke

Exhaustion begins, Karma it is that you go for broke

But when you realize this does not work for you

And your aim is still to remain of heart so true

Then you will become of that center and to have never

The suffering that you had as balance is forever

Keep this in your awareness as what is within really knows

It is your Soul* that has been here before and it shows

To make you become present and be its wisdom inside

Once you are merged with this you no longer need a guide

You then are awakened~as things intuitively happen as meant to be*

Freedom soars and sings*

Freedom soars and sings*

Upon blue skies so far and vast

Open invitation, clouds have past

The red tail takes to this and soars

To be of this freedom evermore

With wind to glide under its wings

For in this silence, its song it sings

"Leave" it alone...that is why it is fall*

"Leave" it alone...that is why it is fall*

A monk at a ZEN* monastery was told by the ZEN* master to clean up the leaves in the yard. It was the end of fall and the yard needed to be attended to. So the monk set out to clean up the yard by raking it. When he was done he was proud of what he did to make the yard all tidied up.

So a good breeze came by and the wind took most of them away from the pile. The monk was now perplexed and confused as now he had to do his work over again to satisfy the ZEN* master's wish. So he hurried as fast as he could to put the pile back together in one big heap.

Then all of the sudden as you would not believe, the wind became more violent and blew all the leaves around the yard with no other choice but to wishfully buy more time in cleaning the yard up.
But to no avail that he had seen the ZEN* master coming down the pathway to inspect the monk's work.

When the ZEN* master came to the monk and looked out at the yard, of course the monk became very nervous, the ZEN* master was ready to say his words about how the yard looked. Nervous as the monk was, the ZEN* master with a look of discernment in his eyes exclaimed, "PERFECT!!!!!!...a job well done." 

All things in life are meant to be the way they are suppose to be, we just have a tendency to correct them to look good in one's eye and not see the meaning why it is just that it is. A dirty floor will be cleaned but once again the floor after such cleaning becomes dirty once again. It has been dirty all the long. The emphasis should be placed on what is within that one to see that all things are already done as the Universe has already done so. In this case the Universe wished it to be left alone as it knows exactly what to do next with those leaves.

~I believe I read something like this on yahoo once~so the credited goes to that one that wrote this as well*

Here it comes, there it goes*

Here it comes, there it goes*

Little by little, it moves as it creeps

It knows of a day to come to make it keep

Light comes above it, to show the summit is alive

The mountain is now seen as it does arrives

But it journeys a little more before darkness settles in

Then to disappear and start over again

From what one can say as to perceive

It takes the daytime for the mountain to arrive

And the night time to make it leave

Dom*Colucci 2013

"Carry" on while you can*

"Carry" on while you can*

Freedom of the plastic bag

Running away without a snag

Tumbling and stumbling in the road

Traveling so light, no heavy load

Open that I see floating away as you are gone

Nothing inside your container to "carry" on

Dom*Colucci 2013

Grasp no notion but nothingness alone*

Grasp no notion but nothingness alone*

The suffering that one takes is all alone

For that one does not see that this they own

Others may have many trials as well

The misery that comes out in the stories they tell

But one should look deep within to see

That it is really nothing at all that can set them free

So with this notion that you have and to also go through

Become the same nothingness that ignorance cannot hold onto

Fall has awakened*

Fall has awakened*

Morning arise, darkness it "tried"

Sun comes out, shadows they hide

Another moment has come into this day

Effortlessly it walks on its way

Autumn is here, as it begins

Colors of harvest to do it again

Sweet was the days of warmth, now they past

To usher in cooler days that come at last

Dom*Colucci 2013

The river up above*

The river up above*

Clouds are moving in, so massive they are

Very rapidly they move closer, not too far

Yes you feel maybe something could be worst

The crackle of thunder, lightning from a burst

A deluge has come, the floods from the cloud

No stopping this for openness did allow

But look a little closer and see it so fine

It is only small drops of rain, filling in quickly the space in time

Dom*Colucci 2013

Here not t"here"*

Here not t"here"*

What does one look at?

It cannot be this for this is not that

Am I the filler in the movie played out?

To be constantly in a world creating doubt

No, this is not so that I see

For what is outside to be not me

Yes I do see something within I am aware

When I look outside now, for I am no longer there

Dom*Colucci 2013

Here is the only place ever*

Here is the only place ever*

Struggle to go on into a future ahead

That struggle is not needed but to be present instead

But many still push believing this is so

They are not learning what is now, this is what it shows

Putting themselves in a dilemma and trying to be clever

Here can never be moved, anywhere ever

Dom*Colucci 2013

It is "still" beautiful*

It is "still" beautiful*

Lazy afternoon watching it all go by

Birds and bees buzzing with no question why

Just sitting next to a willow tree near a pond

Peace in the surround, as I come to calm

Take it all in the serenity that is here

This settling within myself becomes crystal clear

No where to to be of and no where to go

Only to piece it all to together right now

This beauty that I know

Dom*Colucci 2013

Freedom does not go back to war*

Freedom does not go back to war*

Throughout all since time came, man has fought

Seems to look for independence in what he sought

But fighting never makes one free

You may just have to let things go to wait and see

You set up an agenda in your "mind"

Freedom is not now then later to fight and be in a bind

No this was never learned throughout all history's age

Freedom is a bird that has found an opening and forever left its cage

Dom*Colucci 2013

Nothing but spirit within*

Nothing but spirit within*

Take a look above at the sky

Really get a gander in your eye

You see things floating, clouds wandering free

Nothing around them but allowing them to be

Now that they are moving on, to go somewhere

They have taken themselves inward and became thin air

Dom*Colucci 2013

Leave it alone for it is behind you now*

Leave it alone for it is behind you now*

It was wisdom that was inherent

Then why does one take a path in torment

When I see this, why is this with me?

Something that is dual and attached to be

A darkened outline hiding from the light

If light is my guide, why is this not also in sight?

Is it my past that comes on this road?

To put me to the test and see if I break under the load

I guess then that this is meant for

To find on our own, that open door

But really there is no open door at all we see

Just to open our eyes and our hearts to be free

So what is behind us now lets go

It was only a shadow, nothing important this I know

Dom*Colucci 2013

It is the wind*

It is the wind*

Where does the wind ever come from?

It shows up briefly, then it's on the run

No course of action to ever react

Leaving temporarily and then coming back

What purpose does this do and where is it now?

An opening in the Universe, that makes it allowed?

As for the time being it is peace once again

Until a breeze begins, it is the wind

Dom*Colucci 2013

Trust yourself, you know who you are*

Trust yourself, you know who you are*

Who doth cross into the unknown land?

There is no one there to give you a hand

You slip away into oblivion you see

No longer playing a part that you are not to be

When you do go away from what was not you

You will see who you are so absolutely true

Though it may seem that your on your own

Look again for you are not alone

The picture is now clearer, for where you stand

Indeed it is within now that gives you a hand

For you have now merged with that one who is whole

You are the big picture, it is you of wisdom. You as the Soul*

Dom*Colucci 2013

As senses are so "still"*

As senses are so "still"*

Take me in oh mighty mountain, feel your presence everywhere

Perfumed in pine and spruce, wafting through the air

You are a place that I can call heaven, peace that it shows

Stability and stillness, this is how nature on you grows

No impedance or chaos, you are the balance of love aligned

With this, clarity it is transparent, to see all of you is so fine

Dom*Colucci 2013

Here, I never left*

Here, I never left*

Coming to the gates of heaven, ahead a tough climb
But it is shell that I must peel off and leave the past behind
Yes I know when I enter, that something awaits for me in the skies
It is a gift the Soul* is telling me, to open up my eyes

Surely this is not an easy journey to be on, uncertainty is on the way
But I must endure this one step at a time, now to proceed and not to stay
I put my foot in front of the other, moving without haste
Yes there is something that awaits me soon, it is the beauty that I taste

Something was here before me, this path it has been laid out
Now I move with trust, as what leaves me is doubt
So I now know why something did this to open all doors
It was within myself that seen this as it was definitely here before

Dom*Colucci 2013

I "still" see*

I "still" see*

I stand on the edge and look out into the pond

Everything a beautiful masterpiece, that is sitting in the calm

What grabs my attention that makes it so fulfilled

Is how it just shows its beauty and sits perfectly still

But to me I just take it all in, absorbing within my being

And dissolve it deep within my Soul*, a Soul* that is seeing

Dom*Colucci 2013

Here is in touch*

Here is in touch*

It is in the beyond that the future sits there

But no one has ever seen it but still is everywhere

You can never pull it in for it really does not exist

As to many still search this and cannot resist

For those that do so are lost where they are

Where they are is here but where they go is far

Definitely you can see this but you cannot be this as such

Indeed keep in the present as this place you can touch

Dom*Colucci 2013

It "still" waves*

It "still" waves*

Into the depths from the bottom of the ocean

Waves move in and out, such a motion

But something is happening down so deep

It has now awakened from its sleep

It is wisdom that comes from this as it knows

For it finally shows from the ocean floor, the rock that grows

Dom*Colucci 2013

It shows itself clearly*

It shows itself clearly*

The beauty that is within this domain

Vast as I see in my eyes it came

For whatever is above so it is below

Reflecting and calm for this is what it shows

Parallel without distortion, impedance not to see

Stillness that is settled as in this peace it is free

Dom*Colucci 2013

"Still" in the surround*

"Still" in the surround*

I look outside and what do I see

Green in a texture, for it is some trees

A little wind that makes them dance

I watch as they move, I am in a trance

A little deeper to be more mesmerized and fulfilled

For closer observation, I see it is perfectly still

Dom*Colucci 2013

Something cool is coming*

Something cool is coming*

In this mid summer it is getting late

Soon it will be fall, we anticipate

Cooler is the days, the sun leaves us and hides

Time to go somewhere else as it takes a ride

No longer is humidity and the beach as a treat

Summer is leaving us soon, it takes away the heat

Dom*Colucci 2013

Still, keep it deep*

Still, keep it deep*

Still as I see on the surface of the pond

Everything in its own peace, so very calm

Something is pulling this all to be

Nothing is held on as it lets go to be free

This moment that has become perfectly clear

It never left, as it is always been here

Serenity from all this and the beauty that it keeps

Divinity knows this peace and stillness,

For it it comes from so deep

Dom*Colucci 2013

Ocean takes a walk on the shore*

Ocean takes a walk on the shore*

Ripples and waves along the ocean shore

Walking closer to the sands on the beach floor

It is doing its best to make an escape

Coming from beyond the horizon to another place

But something has restrained, it cannot go on any more

It is not made of land but water it's meant for

Dom*Colucci 2013

The wind,know it by its name*

The wind,know it by its name*

Substance that comes out of thin air

It can happen at anytime or even anywhere

Indulging inside itself to get out

It knows how to do this without a doubt

A self creation with this that it came

From this thin air, it is the wind and you know it by its name

Dom*Colucci 2013

The rock walked alone*

The rock walked alone*

The world that is still, something is seen

Where did you come from, it is not of the dream

For it is on the road as it was all along

Seems it knew of itself, right where it belongs

From this, each step it took near

To be "still" moving in a place, that is right here

Look at where it is for it has been on its own

The rock that moved stillness and walked all alone

Dom*Colucci 2013

I am the open door*

I am the open door*

Seems that awhile back, I lived in a dark place

The only thing was my shadow, standing in my space

As I searched for the way out to see into this light

I never gave up once to have this in my sight

Revealing of itself, it seems this was meant for

There it was staring at me, for it was me in the open door

Dom*Colucci 2013

Opened always forever*

Opened always forever*

When a mountain calls you, you just have to go

Upon arrival at the base of it, you really start to know

Getting this feeling something grabs you, to pull you within

Look around you and see this, for what is within is rhythm

Smell the fragrance of freshness with the spruce, pines and air

Trailing a little more, in an environment to now be aware

A certain stillness brings silence to become of peace

Some more miles inward, a life behind you now has come to cease

A canopy of trees all in the surround

This blanket of shade is what keeps you cool all around 

Feeling the anticipation, something you have in your eyes

The canopy is gone, it is forever opened in the skies

Dom*Colucci 2013

Freedom is "here"*

Freedom is "here"*

When one is finally awakened and they realize

Something comes into their awareness to open up their eyes

For all is dropped when they know they have no past

That part of their life was the part that never did last

When they then see this, then it all becomes perfectly clear

They were never far away or behind but always right here 

For something that was false took them on a journey ahead

But there never was no journey, what was within was origin instead

To have this feeling of being the present and to be the power of now

This was always with you, for it was around you that allowed

Now the beauty of their Soul* shows them who they are to be

Within this beauty no longer in prison of themselves but totally free

Dom*Colucci 2013

Wisdom starts from the bottom*

Wisdom starts from the bottom*

Why does one wish to be the king of the top?

This is where I beg to differ and I say "STOP!"

So my wisdom on this comes within my fountain

If you are of water, 

Flow downward like a stream from a mountain

Your function is to keep moving and not sit on a throne

Experience is Universal and not to be alone

Dom*Colucci 2013

Oh happy day*

Oh happy day*

Oh morning of glorious sunshine, guide us with your rays

Make each step we take without obstacle on the way

To hear of beautiful nature, birds sing as the do

The crow is a cawing and the morning doves they coo

To feel the rich green grass with dew on my feet

Yes I am glad I showed up, how wonderful this day to meet
