A Sudden Channelling of Timothy Leary

This was reclassified because of the great description of Moby's effects)

The vibration of the Third Eye Chakra
gave a shimmering orange neon edge
     to the Reality of
          the quiet hill.

The jackpines meditated
     and focussed
on the gentle sigh of their breathing;
the South Wind whispering
     tropical secrets
of moonlight romance.

The shadows skipped
     forward 
     and
                 back,
as though we were stuck
in a time loop...
     an Escher mobiüs strip
          of Eternity.

Truth beckoned,
just an illusion away,
as Cosmic meaning
     was revealed.

    This.
         Now.

Circadian Reflections

It has just turned September,
and July and August
have condensed into
a
time
capsule...

swimming lessons, reunions, overnights,

visitors, camping, marshmallows, birthday parties,

Annapolis Basin sojourn,

meeting with old friends, and talking ‘til three,

swimming at the lake, and in the ocean,

walks with dog, gardening, and

l   a   w   n    m   o   w   i   n   g,

arrivals and departures,

hellos and farewells,

“I love you,” mouthed at departing planes...

to be examined at leisure
during long,
                     cold,
                             dark,
                                       January evenings,
as fireplace and Jameson’s
inspire, and enhance,
the joy of remembering,
and living,
my life.
