sound of ancient flutes

Composed by our resident poet Calen Rayne, this powerful poem-prayer is a gift to hold us up during these tempestuous days.

we are in times of distress
thinking of hometowns
as moonlight etches water’s curves
swallows departing
silence of untouched waters
moment by moment
winds and waves will follow flow
now there’s nothing else
longing and finding no road
waves keep on coming
in the morning still raining
curtains in the wind
each day now further away
no way to return
ancient graves under water
long to return home
downpour, downpour, my tears drop
now drenching my clothes
 
rinsed by these flowing waters
walk to source of stream
we flow from great beyond
we come together
as clear sounds of ancient flutes
voice songs into sky
heaven and earth merge again
rains suddenly still
souls immersed in paradox
create new patterns
traces of transformation
emerge from silence
nourished by a mystery

passing travelers

passing travelers 
 
wide awake in this darkness  

we yearn for you still    

​your footprints have disappeared  

what are we to do   

our sleeves are new damp with tears  

since all things must end  

ponder this world's restless ways 

is this hour not late     

will we spend springs together 

floating bridge of dreams 

stem this flow of gushing tears 

over mountain dawn 

in cool calm of this spring day 

pray to be loving   

there is light in our gardens   

blooming everywhere 

still shining where skies are clear 
 
with a sound of wings 

human shadows pass me by  

precious budding wings 

now entirely clear of clouds

we shall not forget  

as your music circles earth  

we will sing your souls 

to eternal existence

though we remain here 

we find our hearts infinite

cosmos breathes rebirth  

return now to your true home

A Gift for the New Year

​a poem for 2016

i look out today
 
looking far, i see
an unclouded image
 
if anyone asks
it signals
a new path
 
guided by
an emerging moon
a question arises
what shall i do now
 
floating clouds flow
across
suddenly serene sky
crisp sound of bell
creates crystal clarity
 
time continues to pass
years flow like water
day and night
follow one another
with a whisper
like a gentle wind
 
ancient harmonies
breathe deep
and enter quietly
to grace
our four seasons
reminding us to forget
aggression and concerns
 
stepping from
a temple nestled
among majestic mountains
a messenger
calls forth
i am here
to announce
a new dawn
