That stops the inner world

From flowing to the outer

Of my mind what would I find?

And if I fall into the deep dark hole

Of my Soul where will I go?

She speaks softly of sadness

as the sky pours itself upon her

She bleeds from the hole in her heart

as her suffering slowly devours her

The sadness dies down

then fresh, like a child

the morning star appears

lighting the sky

reflecting for her eyes to behold

and its Magic inspires once more

The interior “I”

With heart free from suffering

Wakens with a laugh

___________________________

Put your hand in the fire of healing

    open your heart

      and let the flame

        slowly burn

           devouring desire

forget anger and suffering

      they are but illusions

Realize we know nothing

    then send your “self” to the sea

      to die in the cool breeze

         so that your true soul may be born

            of hot ashes, water and light

the key which locks me in

within these walls of loneliness

The search for the answer

brings about much laughter

when we realize

We don’t even Know the Question

Naked feet, dancing in the waves

  they have the answer:

       there is no answer

            only the sound of naked feet

                    dancing in the waves

In Archery, as in anything

We practice to perfect the poise

But completion comes

Only with the perfect release
