An ocean drops in*

An ocean drops in*

The clouds do come but to no surprise

Dancing with one another in open skies

Something is happening as we see here

The skies are no longer open and also not clear

Yes what is happening as it comes to a storm

The making of a deluge and not to be warned

One sprinkle is felt and there goes another drop

All of the sudden heaven opens and it seems it does not stop

So in this constant  downpour in such a motion

This becomes from one drop as it makes an ocean

Dom*Colucci 2013

Light of the day*

Light of the day*

The murky bottom to the dark of night

In a little while, something becomes of sight

It knows precisely when it comes out to peek

For it has followed this path always in nothing to seek

Indeed it is enlightened in a place that is calm

It is the awakened lotus that lives in the pond

Dom*Colucci 2013

Here, it is*

Here, it is*

It is where I am that my being has took

To be of deep contemplation in what I look

For the depth that I go in what I see

Nothing becomes more merging back inside of me

From this picture that it shows while I am involved

Everything about this moment has definitely dissolved

Because it has vanished and this is no more

It is the meaning of being present and that is what its for

Dom*Colucci 2013

Warm at heart I spring into*

Warm at heart I spring into*

Welcome to all, the birds and the bees

Winter is now over, buds are in the trees

Flowers that grow, bursting from the seams

A longer time before that has put all in a dream

But now all is awakened to have a fresh new start

It is the Soul* that is in the Universe, right from the heart

Come rejoice of warmer times to stay

And feel this great happiness, each and everyday

Dom*Colucci 2013

A perfect artist*

A perfect artist*

Today is so much different that what I've known

From a Divine Consciousness, all around is shown

The artist has not used paper, paint or pen

But has created another masterpiece, once again

It is really nothing at all effortlessly it goes

Just look here and see openness that knows

Such a beautiful painting that one can see

This is how it becomes, in nature that is free

Dom*Colucci 2013

A real "tree"t*

A real "tree"t*

Oh vibrant life, indeed it seems

A lush carpet of growth that is very green

Nature at it best, a forest rich and free

Shade all around, cool comfort from the trees

All embraced as one, such beauty in sight

It is enhanced by this, the wonder of sunlight

Dom*Colucci 2013

A gentle gift*

A gentle gift*

Gentleness is made, slightly from the wind

Blowing itself around, again and again

It comes through the garden in a breeze

Makes all around itself with comfort and ease

But a little gift has been placed nearby

For it is the beauty on a lilac flower, of pretty butterfly

Dom*Colucci 2013

Hear it? It's spring*

Hear it? It's spring*

The sun in the morning, higher as such

Comes from the east to be out so much

A feeling once again, a breather in the air

Spring is here and goodbye to winter there

Exploding with growth, buds popping open to arise

Reaching their abundance, climbing to the skies

Yes a masterpiece being made that is all around

Nice how all is manifested without a sound

Dom*Colucci 2013

It's here that never leaves*

It's here that never leaves*

I keep going back

To know all is intact

Forever to be seen

One day the trees will be green

But for now this will be

Yes, I love what I see

Dom*Colucci 2013

A constant state of beauty*

A constant state of beauty*

I am caught up in the surround

Each step I go, is descending down

The trees, they sing with the wind

I go back to base where I begin

This day on the summit, is finally done here

Everything I seen was in beauty and all so clear

Dom*Colucci 2013

I went up from being so down*

I went up from being so down*

I have made it to the top without a doubt

Now I am here to see what is out

A place that is definitely totally free

Above all from a canopy of many trees

I will be here to settle for a little while

In a bit go back to base, descending a few miles

Dom*Colucci 2013

It only knows one way*

It only knows one way*

Look what came from the top

It rolled down and did not stop

A mountain that is alive in the stream

All life going by, down it seems

When it reaches where it has to go

It already has seen it for it already knows

Dom*Colucci 2103

A family tree*

A family tree*

A walk in the forest, many trees around

Feeling Mother Nature, love in the surround

I take a break on the trail, a birch tree is nearby

Its limbs are extending upward, reaching towards the sky

But me by standing near it, being right there

I sense its love for me and become well aware

It looks down upon me with its limbs that remain

And for some reason or another, I feel that it wished that I came

A strange sensation comes, I feel its heart and its pure nature in love

Its wishes that it could come down and pick me up from above

Hold me in its limbs and see how happy to be

Imagine that, I feel like its son in a beautiful birch tree

Dom*Colucci 2013

My eyes see forever in my Soul*

My eyes see forever in my Soul*

I have come to a mountain, this I shall climb

A steep grade before me, a sharp incline

One foot over the other, occasionally to stop

There is never no big hurry to race to the top

For I have seen what this is inside of me

The summit that my eyes to my Soul*, forever we see

Dom*Colucci 2013

Gray to retire with*

Gray to retire with*

Oh gray morning, beyond made the clouds

To awaken without sun, as seen right now

The look of a dreary dark dismal day

Yes these clouds do linger and love to stay

So it seems this will be, it continues on again

And maybe tomorrow the sun will make the day begin

Dom*Colucci 2013

The center stayed with me*

The center stayed with me*

The day that has covered the path with snow

Following it and seeing ahead, to go where it goes

But it is really nothing that it leads me to be

For all around me is really me to see

I have came here and a realm I have entered

That realm I stand in now that I know is my center

Dom*Colucci 2013

Always a beginning*

Always a beginning*

I come to this point where I stand

Seems like the end for no more land

But a continuance seems to take place

It moves from such spot to another space

Then to me where I left off there is no end

Picking up from here once more to begin

Dom*Colucci 2013

Relief in balance*

Relief in balance*

Comfort that you are, relieved to see

From one side of the pond to the other so free

Never to stop, to take a pause

You know your destiny without cause

Gentleness and a meditative flow

You left one side from so high to the other so low

Dom*Colucci 2013

On the road to babble on*

On the road to babble on*

Oh babbling on as we hear the brook

The flow that captivates the eyes it took

To see it come from above around the bend

And to turn beyond us with no end

Empty this feeling oh wonder that you are

For you passed by me to travel oh so far

Dom*Colucci 2013

We hit the trails end*

We hit the trails end*

Along upon a path that is so white

To have a great vision we see in sight

Amongst the hemlocks that stand so tall

To hear the breeze and the wind call

But we know that what is in front of us doth prevail

Yes indeed we are nearing the end of the trail

Dom*Colucci 2013

Begin with nothing that ends it also*

Begin with nothing that ends it also*

No place better than to be

It is that is what is inside of me

There is no future or no past

For right where I even stand does not last

So I say it is from here on in

The place where I end is where I begin

Little edgy I see*

Little edgy I see*

Deep down within, something is there

It is fear that I feel from being so scared

For it is its ugliness that pops its head out

It is a world that is so miserable and lives in doubt

Having its grip on me but I know this as I shall

With my back to the wall, so I must run like hell

But who am I running from as there is no one here

An illusion for it is myself that I do not see so clear

What is this thing that it is trying to deceive me?

A nightmare in a fairy tale that I cannot be free

It has me trapped and it feels as I am at the edge

Something holding me back, the other me on this side of the ledge

Dom*Colucci 2013

I am inside here*

I am inside here*

Filling in a void that seems to be all around

Fitting into something that nowhere is to be found

So where is this place that is always dimension free?

This void that it seems to be inside of me

Then if that is the case and one is with this

When I do look inside, did I ever exist?

Dom*Colucci 2013

Love has its "point"

Love has its "point"

How life is with danger and of such

One must be gentle to give it a touch

Like how one sees a rose and is forewarned

To come over and grasp it, induce pain from the thorn

Many other things have love that surround it too

These certain things are "pointed" out in view

Like how the porcupine quills give no slouch

Yeah go right ahead, grab it and you will say "ouch"

Dom*Colucci 2013

Heaven stands here*

Heaven stands here*

I have come into a world in its weird way

Many anchors and temptations to make me stay

It felt like the Soul* that it took

My eyes where mesmerized at the things I look

A heart filled with anguish and to here a plea

To finally go back in my heart to see

But then it was here and I became aware

In what I was seeing, I gave it a stare

The more I looked at this as I could not believe

Emptiness that turned my eyes around no longer to deceive

Now it all came together as it was crystal clear

It was heaven and nothing that was there but here

Dom*Coluccci 2013  

Spring is "still" comes here*

Spring "still" comes here*

How glorious the days have now become

Spring is in its blossom and hummingbirds hum

Life all around has come up to sprout

Gone is the cold of winter and all its doubt

Beauty is now secured, it is to be fulfilled

To a mountain that feels so alive and perfectly still

Dom*Colucci 2013

Drop in right here*

Drop in right here*

A rain drop has fallen from the sky

Another bit of sorrow is ready to cry

But it lands in stream that takes it with the flow

And knows of the circumstance and lets it go

For it can never return back where it came from

Once it has happened it is said and done

So now that one drop of rain that became the stream

Winds up to a river and an ocean of its dream

Yes, it was once in a place of a broken heart

Now the joy of life soon to enter as it pulled apart

Move with life in the direction it will always give

Remain still and all the days of happiness you will live

Dom*Colucci 2013

Winds of freedom*

Winds of freedom*

Freedom that it becomes as it wisps away

Moving many things and making them sway

Delightful presence to have this so true

A stronger breeze that has swept right on through

For no one has ever seen the beginning or the end

It just comes all of the sudden, the essence of the wind

Dom*Colucci 2013

Who are you?*

Who are you?*

Who are you?

Do you know who I am?

You can see me in view

And touch me where you stand

But for the time being until it unfolds

You will still be you to not see my Soul*

Dom*Colucci 2013

ZEN* on the pond with Buddha frog*

ZEN* on the pond with Buddha frog*

It is a humid evening and the moon is out tonight

I hear a croak on the pond, something brewing in sight

For it is a bullfrog that sits like Buddha on a lily pad

Some fireflies dance in front of it, for it knows what it has

Mesmerizing in its meditation right before its nose

Lashing out its tongue to capture its meal and that is the way it goes

Dom*Colucci 2013

Beauty from nothing*

Beauty from nothing*

Spring is arriving, showing up on its own

Cherry blossoms popping out, fully blown

Seems what is behind us now it will never be again

The wonders of this start all over and begin

A masterpiece of art that the artist has seen in his view

He did it without effort in knowing nothing to do

This is how ZEN* operates and uses what is here

And gives back to eyes so they see beauty crystal clear

Dom*Colucci 2013

It knows with the flow*

It knows with the flow*

Silence not a whisper, it is a breeze that is loud

Before this day begins, emptiness with no crowd

Just the veins of this passage I walk along this street

And find more serenity within, a void that I meet

Yes where I am for I really do not know

It is life that is in front of me and I will go with the flow

Dom*Colucci 2013

Now that is just ducky*

Now that is just ducky*

Look amongst the pond as it is no longer clear

It is strewn with lily pads all over here

Seems like this is the place that they are satisfied and grow

Wishing to live here in this spot, it is the only place they know

I flew all this distance as I sought to swim

I guess I will take flight and find another pond again

Dom*Colucci 2013

Nothing happened before or after*

Nothing happened before or after*

Many of times I have been through this before

Just did not see this as an open door

Anticipation seem to be what bothered me

Could never sit still in being so patiently

But now I see that whatever I enter has begun

Because with my awareness it is already done

So no more seeing the end result as a plan

The end result I see, is right where I stand

Dom*Colucci 2013

ZEN*...a walk a"round" the square*

ZEN*...a walk a"round" the square*

An obelisk stands in the middle of the square

Something here is itself becoming well aware

The sun beats down a shadow is shown

Look at its perpendicular, as it walks on its own

It has movement but there is no sound

But tell me one thing, how does it walk around?

Dom*Colucci 2013

Neither to either, both at once*

Neither to either, both at once*

What is outside myself as I take a look

Temptation it has, the eyes they took

I seem to know better, something tells me inside

A voice that says "instead, come here where you reside"

Leaving that distance outside to finally be home

Within I am integrated not to be alone

For I see that what is definitely inside of me

One that I am that within does agree

So it is the one that I am and to be known

Outer world breaks away, a treasure to be shown

It is a split that comes and what is to be seen

I am the middle way, the TAO* in between

Dom*Colucci 2013

Stillness with its dangers*

Stillness with its dangers*

The heavens all around, seem to be a little gray

But brightness is filtering through to make a sunny day

Some light winds pick up and make the grass dance

They waited a long while to once again have this chance

But as much as what is around to give it some vigor

A little piece of land is still as there sits a tiger

Dom*Colucci 2013

We make a motion to the light*

We make a motion to the light*

We have come across such a calamity in motion

Tossing here and there, no peace on the ocean

Striving so hard we must get to solid ground

But the dragon seen its tail and puts us in its surround

We go forward with this, no matter how difficult we try

In a distance we see, this will bring us to sunny skies

Dom*Colucci 2013

A master's peace*

A master's peace*

A new canvas is painted in this wondrous dream

The master is the consciousness in its own scheme

It places things around in its masterpiece to be

While it moves in the harmony that it seems it agrees

It does this in its own eye to make things of peace and calm

Then moves onward to another reality when it is said and done

Dom*Colucci 2013

Time follows nothing*

Time follows nothing*

I sit in this room and ask myself what to do

Each moment that goes by that I go through

The seconds that I count, they feel like hours

Locked here in my own boredom under its power

So the depths of patience that seems to be so shallow

Into a void of nothingness that I must follow

Dom*Colucci 2013

Fragrant words on the airways*

Fragrant words on the airways*

Wonderful conversation between us two

Let us take a walk in the garden, right in view

To have such a pleasant feeling as we do it once again

To talk of past experiences, future ones that will not end

Don't you feel a gentle breeze and the wafting of perfume?

The airing of everything here and lots of open room

Dom*Colucci 2013

Beauty of paradise*

Beauty of paradise*

Tucked deep in the valley, a little village stands

Only few inhabitants on a short piece of land

But it is the fall and the colors vibrantly show

A paradise in the summer, you see the greens grow

But still admired beauty, the background is a mountain

A cool stream flowing off it, like a bubbling fountain
