Spring into winter*

Spring into winter*

A piece of dust from the skies above

Come falling down in its love

A little at a time to see it grow

Blanket of purity, let it snow

As we watch this from a blossomed tree

Mother nature comes with her purity

Spreading her love with such grace

Tiny little angels dance in space

Music that is only rhythm without a sound

Wonder of these little angels hit the ground

For now all to be baptized in white

To paint on this canvas a beautiful sight

What there has, that here is not*

What there has, that here is not*

When I become calm and see what I can

I do my best to understand

That it seems distance confuses me

To wonder what is beyond and why I do not see

There has to be something that this is true

It knows without knowing in what it knew

I can only turn it around and see deep within

That only knows of this place again and again

But I guess I will keep on pondering in faraway "thoughts"

One day quit seeking this in which I have sought

To know that it was foolish and time was wasted

To touch what is here instead, no longer future tasted

Dom*Colucci 2013

There it goes, the flow*

There it goes, the flow*

There are some clouds in the skies

Darker than most ready to cry

But its anger comes a little more

Thunder is made and lighting out the door

A little drop then nothing keeping

Here it comes, all is weeping

For now it is emptying in it for what remains

To flush it all down into mountain veins

Streams pouring with rage and into a flow

The deeper this becomes in watching it grow

No longer to be bound, no longer enthralled

Letting loose of itself, watching the water fall

Dom*Colucci 2013

You see*

You see*

Look into the void of space

In the daylight there is a place

That all moves are liberated so it seems

To bounce from reality back into dreams

Though nothing stays there for it cannot be bound

But look again this time when it comes around

For when it comes around you will see it in view

That view that you now see is really you

Dom*Colucci 2013

Dark murky shadow holds the light*

Dark murky shadow holds the light*

Still of night has walked on by

Darkness that was in an empty sky

Shadowed by something lurking in the mud

In its encasement, a flower in the bud

Little was the moments going by, day from night

Inching itself more forward, coming closer to the light

As it came to the surface, petals were open one by one

Now it has awakened, the white lotus to show the day has begun

Dom*Colucci 2013

I come back to say goodbye once again*

I come back to say goodbye once again*

You had some fun growing through the spring

You became a newborn to be vibrant in everything

As time moved on in a summer's scene

Lush was your color in hearty greens

Then all of the sudden you became an artist so true

Mixing wonderful colors on autumn canvas in view

But you had to let go and the last leaf left in the wind

It said goodbye from the tree limb as it left its hand

So now a covering has come, white angels all around

To make all go to sleep and put the blanket on the bed down

You will definitely know when to come back and begin

For this is not over, in awhile it will be spring once again

Wisdom in the tree*

Wisdom in the tree*

What is this that dangles in my eyes?

Could it be clouds in the skies?

Or maybe it is a branch filled with leaves

What ever this is it tries to deceive

But it cannot fool me for I know of one thing

There is something within called wisdom, the Soul* does bring

So it can dangle to entice in front of me

But know of the wise to just let it be

For what is outside me is not the truth

Instead for what is within,it comes from the roots

Dom*Colucci 2013

Summit all up, here forever*

Summit all up, here forever*

Glory beyond comprehension, a mountain is so high

The summit that takes it all in, breath in the sky

Beauty that it is, for it stands stable with its will

Relaxed in its position of strength and also to be so still

For it is of the present and eternity it is to be never

It knows of its place to be seen right here 

But one may glimpse from her at forever

Dom*Colucci 2013

Freedom, "still' moving here*

Freedom, "still' moving here*

What do you know in this place?

Is it about freedom in the surrounding space?

In this there is a direction pointing in

The spot is so central that this is where it begins

From this spot onward one goes

But one never leaves this spot, it is the present that knows

Moment within this moves by so fast

So the future goes by with the past

It is like how streams move forward and never return

This is the lesson as well in "still' moving, that I have learn

Dom*Colucci 2013

Deep seeking whisper*

Deep seeking whisper*

Something of a whisper as it comes without sound

Slight breeze arising and blowing all around

A dance to give life with all in its way

Trees and their leaves are starting to sway

But momentum is picking up and to do it again

A little stronger now, the wind from deep within

Dom*Colucci 2013

Goes around to come back around*

Goes around to come back around*

Feel it coming, no summer at all

Time to paint a picture for now it is fall

The sun walks away a little at a time

Colder weather is coming, moments to unwind

But still in all there are days to be warm

When you see the sun in the sky, early in the morn

Fret not about what is arriving and soon it will begin

After it has happened, it will be summer once again

Dom*Colucci 2013

Keep going, it is poetry in motion*

Keep going, it is poetry in motion*

Traipse along the mountains and go into the woods

The path on this journey opened, as life is so good

Nothing but the feeling of great insights to see

That the Soul* is within and it is talking to me

Spiritual type poetry, the music is so fine

One foot over the other to make it all rhyme

I would then say life is a journey in feeling this way

Listen to what is inside of you, at this feeling that does say

The Soul* is of the present and always knows

In which direction to face and go where it goes

Wisdom will be your guide from within

To keep on moving forward, in melody once again

Dom*Colucci 2013

Awakened over the hills*

Awakened over the hills*

Over green hills I see a truth does exist

Pulled in by the light, I cannot resist

Yonder is a place that is of calm and peace

The stillness is of wonder that the chaos has cease

Oh bring me ever closer beyond this hill and dale

So I may see this light that is beyond this veil

Keep me so near to that is with loving heart

Knowing this is no longer a dream but the awakening has start

Dom*Colucci 2013

Clearly stated so beautiful*

Clearly stated so beautiful*

Transparent I see that is all around

Clarity from the heavens and to the ground

A bit of reflection that one does see

But at the line of this, it is symmetry

Yes indeed a balance that it grows

For what is above is also done below

This is how nature shows its love and it meets

It has no need for judgment nor even to compete

Dom*Colucci 2013

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

Dom*Colucci 2013

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
