Calm Worlds
- a poem to intentional community
Calm Worlds within us
our friends radiation
willing and beautiful
guides us into the deep
-surely keeping
dear to their children
us.
With gentle brilliance
their equestrian enthusiasm
cries out
at each strum of sincerity
we effort
-toward oneness,
their Love
and ours
the Great!
Spirit of all
created.
Approaching dawn
billions of people
are drawn
by inward voices
asking
for their wounds to heal
they wait,
insisting on hearing
stretching their heart
not once fearing
all ravaging hatred
now astoundingly lifted
revealed on this day
made of moments
made of ours
the Great!
Hear it!
for all who have listened.
Speak!
Now!
for across all you cross
A. the plainness of words can
B. for the faintest of un-heards will
C. an irreducible choice
Re-Joy
Joy-Re
Rejoice!
There walk spirits on paths
that ponder no crime
who sadly now notice
the hell this time.
Others consumed
by dire questions
stare and blankly
participate
-these spirits are scared.
But,
all shall burn back
to your bond iridescence.
You enthrall all misery
and blanket
our essence.
Burnished
between tense opposites
we shall
learn the feel
of Love
and lack of.
We are friends within friends
growing clear as we gather
close.
Flowing embraced
and poured
into the light.
Circling
hand held us
sincere
with kindness setting home.
to our mother
Earth.

SONNET I - by Paul Beidler
The hills of Northeon so filled with trees
So large so scaled with moss and lichen grey
With streams and springs rippling amongst the stones
And randomly arranged on both the banks
For all to admire when passing by
As though to remind us to remember
To observe the several centers whole
Thence to pray sacred beings ever
Looming in the shadows of the spirit
God given purpose intertwined within
Our tangled array of fibers and veins
Our tendons stretched beyond their muscled scope
Each day anew without assurance that
Another day may bring a renewed hope
