BLUE LAGOON On the path, falling waters Make pools between the stones As slow raindrops draw circles And people go by softly, And pass through the blue gate, Forgetting about the rain, Deep in their conversations Of open and loving hearts. May 8, 1977

OUR LOVE FLOWS LIKE MUSIC Dropping you off At the train station, To find your way Among the mountains To the city Where you lived Before we met— I felt such a pause, Such a silence All around me, A halcyon state arising From deep inside Us as our love Flows like a symphony, Like the seamless ocean, And though you took To distances, There was no separation At all. May 24, 1977

TUNING MYSELF TO LOVE Wandering alone Through streets, rooms and hours, Along wide white beaches Where sea gulls huddle Close to the ground Against the salty wind— Whether walking, eating or dreaming I am watching, always watching As I tune myself to the Teaching that come from All this life experience, To the love that is always Here, flowing all around me. April 28, 1977
CROSSING THE MIND TO THE FURTHER SHORE Stormy clouds block out the sun— Days slide by like murky rivers of Dark water and heavy thoughts rush By on currents of swirling energy, While we struggle with our tiny Fading rafts to cross To the further shore— How frightening it is in midstream! July 22, 1977
