When Is Now

When will we stop and not deny,

the undeniable?

If we take war-like positions against peaceful opposition

We justify the unjustifiable

When will we stop deception of perception?

Attempting to alienate the inalienable?

Accepting cluelessness that propagates,

The utter uselessness of hubris

The ruthlessness to obliterate

All truthfulness in such bitter hate indescribable?

 

When will we quit attempting to contain the uncontainable?

Or arrogantly mapping to explain the unexplainable?

Or petulantly grasping to attain the unattainable?

Or greedily prepping to obtain the unobtainable?

 

When will we cease seeking?

For control in plotting

More sewing and rotting

Of gore from foolhardy avarice?

A sick costume party cadaverous

Bloated thick with brutal caprice, thinking we’re kings!

Promoting politics so cruel we police every little thing

 

The when is now

No then no how

No postponement

Just dethronement

In this naked moment

Trusting our sacred enrollment

 

Free from traumatic duality

In jubilee of ecstatic reality

One consciousness, many worlds

Beyond the surface of any words

Is concurrent omniscience in silent reverence

Emergent percipience in transcendent benevolence

 

Lovingkindness compassion

Unfailing wholeness expansion

In boundless oneness

The extraordinary ordinary

A forever song sings all sunrises into dawn

Incorruptible and un-dilutable always here yet gone beyond

In reverie so sublime

Whenever we don’t cling to time

 

Time as a line with an arrow that pierces

Divided by design, it narrows and eclipses

Pan-dimensional fountaining in infinite creation

Unfolding multiverses in simultaneous regeneration

 

In quiet stillness in silent choiceless-ness

With unbiassed clearness in vibrant fearlessness

In groundless joyfulness we align with deathlessness

To be in timelessness with loving gratefulness

 

Allowing the presence of undivided isness

To animate our actions, our skillsets, our passions

In service of the whole our shared creative soul

Befriending and caring first for ourself

Then radiating out everywhere to share all the wealth

 

With every sentient being

That’s hiding and seeking meaning

We may be lost distraught, caught in incoherent thought

But with courageous, flirtatious, gracious, endearment support

We can nudge, snug, and budge our grudges into love

Embrace the worst and heal it with heart

Replace the cursed to reveal it unmarked

 

Then our ticklish chrysalises of nonsensical concepts

Crack open all awoken into an ocean of motion

Where waves on the surface no longer hurt us

For our spirit’s resurgence is reborn into service

 

In beginningless and endless and timeless love

A oneness of isness that’s timeless because

Vast emptiness of mindfulness plays on each breath as love

With enhanced readiness for impermanence in the motionlessness of

A feral mind that spins, both helping and harming,

Until it settles down undefined, first melting, then calming

Assisting when needed in abeyance when unnecessary

Coexisting yet superseded by Himalayas of visionaries

An impersonal joy of immeasurable magnificence

Without discernable noise from our separable belligerence

With one foot on our center

and the other on the turbulent elliptical circumference

Our weight gently shifts non-linear

Into the revenant heart of mystical wonder

Then the churning waves of karmic cacophony

Start turning bravely into cosmic harmony

Music that plays in heaven’s spiral dimensions

Fusing our days, minutes, and seconds into blissful comprehension
