Lost in time
Somewhere between the Wild West
And man’s first step on the moon.
Navigating our descent
Into the unknown
Constellations
In the form of archers and deer
Virgins and beasts.
Holograms we are
Soaring high-
Our destination another plane.
The truth of quantum physics
Wrapped up in ancient manuscripts
That tell our future
In Vedas and hymns.

Naked
Stark aniseed taste
Bitter chocolate.
Is life for living?
Or busting a gut
Convincing people
Of what I already am.

Karma
I’ve trodden this path
Long ago
Not once, nor twice but thrice.
The reality
Both hidden and seen
Of a Sufi’s life.

Momento
A marigold for you, my love
A hug to keep us warm.
My heart burns aloft with golden delight
Fiery passion from dusk ‘til dawn.
A keepsake for your memory
Healing balm for your pain.
A penny for your thoughts
As the world spins
Round and round again.

Baptism
Black hearts singing
Sacred hymns
Ancient prayers for redemption.
A life sized cross upon the wall,
Sacrifice.
An example for all to behold.
Sweat pouring down foreheads,
A frenzy and rush
For immersion in the river of eternal life.
O to be born again!
O to have the veil removed!
To rebuke wickedness in all its forms.
Hallelujah Hallelujah
The chorus cries.
As one dies
One is taken
Into the bosom of Yeshua
Forever.
