Blackest Hollows
-Leland T. Lewis

She wondered where
these steps would take her,
darkness falling
did not shake her,
stepping strongly
heart now pounding
boldly down the way...
Down that winding path
she wandered
not a single step
she squandered,
as she wandered
and she wondered
on that darkened day...
Behind her
were the evening shadows
blending into blackest hollows,
forward striding
almost gliding
dreams of come what may...
Mystery calling,
blackness falling,
as the endless void
kept calling,
stepping striding
almost gliding
infinite Wu Wei...

Random Molecular Mirroring
-Leland T. Lewis

sideplussed i paused
in an empty street,
street lamps glistening
patterns in the puddles . . .
you never thought
to tell me of this,
or did i ask?
forward walking,
inner talking,
silenced by this crossroad . . .
seven times seven
the light's twinkling waters
vanish beyond the shadows . . .
what words could speak,
this empty track
which vanishes
with its patterns . . .
long down the way,
the lights still play,
into the distant never . . .
what point you ask,
no point at all,
it's all the same
as this one . . .
look back from that far sight,
i'm right?
would be the same,
i'd venture . . .
so go that way,
where waters play,
with light,
wet streets
and shadows . . .
look back this way,
and still you'll say . . .
it's quite a sight,
that watery light!

Incantation
-Leland T. Lewis

the watcher
gold and glowing
spinning shadows
to the white
a dark sea of desire
filling astral void
once light
the book of life
an empty page
it's here
these words i write
and then when scribed
that which remains
will soon
come into sight
go down that darkened
dusty trail
into akashic night
and then return
with what you learn
your soul
it will delight
your watcher
will be waiting there
just there
beyond your sight...

Katrina The Cow
-Leland T. Lewis

Katrina the cow
hoofed casually down
the grassy soft knoll...
a green bed of clover
her ultimate goal, ...
clover fields waiting
by the watering hole.
a cool breeze embraced her
this warm summer eve,
her huge almond eyes
held a peace few perceive.
small things delighted
Katrina the cow,
clover, cool water
being in the now...
eternity lives
in this cow
called Katrina
each moment
spans onward
into forever...

That Look In Your Eyes...
to zencat
-Leland T. Lewis

okay,
maybe i didn't see it
right away,
but i saw it,
you can be sure
of that,
cat.
you messenger of
the great void....
ancient,
omnipresent,
knowing,
wise,
i see those truths
within
your eyes.
i see you.
i see
what you see.
in me:
another busy biped....

The Cloud Has A Song
-Leland T. Lewis

A wavy black cloud
weaving and winding
winging and swinging
across ancient lake
a noisy cloud,
a wavy cloud
a flowing cloud,
a blowing cloud
come over here cloud
i'll give you something.
the cloud is an arrow,
wide and then narrow
piercing the sky
above ancient lake...
a javelin whirling,
olympian's hurling
piercing the air
aound ancient lake,
metaphorical test
of group consciousness
who cast this arrow
across ancient lake?
come over here cloud
i'll give you something.
cloud growing closer
whirling and swirling
it's blackness a shadow
of mystery unfurling,
cloud overhead now
much larger
much wider,
chaotic black flutter
of spiraling chatter.
a cloud with a song,
a musical throng
descending
all 'round me
wide and quite long.
come down here dear cloud,
i have seeds..

The Extraterrestrial Visit
-Leland T. Lewis

disguised as
a rebel patriot,
slave, nobleman,
he she
skipped climbed
up over the down...
floating between
the sky ground,
cold heat
permeated
his her
flesh spirit...
he she
shuttered as
he she
shivered
and withered
within the clutter...
now then
she he
walked stopped
across around all
non-existent barriers...
seeking ignoring
the few many
indicative
directionless
signposts...
it was wasn't
the first last time
that he she
came
went
stayed
but never arrived....
we'll remember
to forget
the passing
momentous
non-event and
great occaision

Your Soul In The Wind
-Leland T. Lewis

roses sleeping
sea blown love
splashing
into rocks
your soul
in the wind
reaching out

A Song In The Wind
by Leland T. Lewis

you sing
enchanted erie songs
like long forgotton
secret melodies
like wind
in the grass
blowing fast
and then slow
like crashing water
through river's pebbles
rushing through ringlets
in the swale
your songs
are of love
prior to nature
beyond thought
glowing like strange
streams of sunlight
reflecting
wintery icicle's
prismatic glow
and here i am
thinking
embracing
and listening
floating so
timelessly
as your sounds
through me
flow

Beyond The Veil
by Leland T. Lewis

Our world
from inner
veil drop tell
Angels come
from glory dwell
from life's form
within revealed
with inner earth
and sky concealed
living long
this brighter life
transcending all
disolving strife
Angelic eyes
life's form revealed
see formlessness
now unconcealed

Crow

i offer dry corn
while gazing
upon rainbow
subtle black
perfect wings...
a mystical
shadow being
winged creature of
forest-sky-meadow ...
silent here now
arcane eyes
darting left right
up down forward....
to my eyes
of wonder
we know oneness
with the All...
in the moment
as i offer dry corn
crow too offers
something in return...
spiraling flight
through the tree
eyes of creation
black as the void....
i offer more
but crow has no need
no desire
no lack...
just a gift,
pure, profound
a view of forever
a lift off the ground

Dreaming Butterfly Bright
by Leland T. Lewis

inner silent space
one sweet
meaningless silence
wrapped in slumber
whispered into
moon-dipped
surroundings
rainbow dreams
which are rituals
from a rising
white darkness
while still
you laugh
my love
and love more
into your knowing
by oh so
very childlike
awesome
insight growing
you rest there
butterfly bright
through the night
glowing

Earth Love
by Leland T. Lewis

this earth
is much like
true love...
a tingling
moonbeam
on a high
mountain lake,
the seashore
awakened
by a crashing
wave's break,
or a silent
crystalline
snowflake...
what is it
if not
true love?

Golden Tapestry
by Leland T. Lewis

go here, go there,
go down this hall...
it's a maze,
it's amazing,
i say it with awe...
a gold woven tapestry
of mind altering
intricacy
resting so timelessly
here on this wall...
imaginal pathway
mandalic gateway
pathway of prayer
near the sea of Bengal...
beyond, and beyond
yet beyond the beyond
from out of the many
into the All....
magnificent mystery
within a tapestry
golden, light golden,
a spiritual call...
within, within that
on to forever,
yet still here
before me
flat on the wall ....
this golden tapestry
mind altering mystery
resting so timelessly
here in this hall

Love Crossing the Night
by Leland T. Lewis

thought wanders
across a magic
point of light
praise touching twice
guiding the night
my lucid free love
seems endless,
so right
remarkable, arcane
this love's
endless height
an infinite
primordial
mystical flight
touching me twice
as i cross
through this night

Love, Blowing In Your Hair
by Leland T. Lewis

look to the horizon
where sea and sky
blend blues
just as inner
and outer visions
of reality
seek synchronicity
the flow of love
wider than the ocean
the height of wisdom
vaster than the sky
is your hair blowing
in a fragrant wind

Morning Walk On The Beach
by Leland T. Lewis

violet love bursting
from golden eye sunlight
spread light rays toward us
awakens dawn sea
whispering wind dances
'cross ten billion crystals
white as the moon
like a snow field of sand
emerald waves sparkle
breaking rhythmically urgently
rolling and pounding
with freedom resounding
you and i walking,
talking and laughing
watching this wonder
we stroll hand in hand

Naked In The Now
by Leland T. Lewis

blazing violet sky
above the island sea
a pathway of light
shimmers
across this lagoon
you naked
and moist
ankle deep
in watery light
silhouetted by the
golden sun's descent
i, breathtakingly
enraptured by
the transitory
temporal
timlessness
of this moment
you, and i,
the earth,
the sky,
the sun,
and this
eternal moment

Rainbow Toes
by Leland T. Lewis

your angelic toes
touch true heaven
in the heart beyond
a star's long
love light journey
to swiftly soar
and calm your soul
above, below,
the peace cloud's floating
formless freedom flowing
tingling softly in no time
this passage passing
and you, patiently
awake elsewhere
you, waiting
in an omniscient
all seeing
rainbow sky
you there, waiting
patiently, calmly, peacefully
for your own arrival

The Infinite Sea
by Leland T. Lewis

Soar atop man's ancient yearnings
like Allah's primal laugh arising
the sun of childlike souls enduring
high mind visions yet remaining
ancient circle lifepath journey
like the River Nile's returning
flowing smooth past starlight burning
Pyramid secrets non-revealing
to the infinite sea

Thoughts To Yearnings
by Leland T. Lewis

thoughts,
like a cloud's phantom mist
searching over the sea,
like the wind's kiss,
with winding whispers
of once forgotton memoroies...
mind encounters lessons,
and reminiscent blessings,
evoking self discovery,
some astral traveller's journey...
reliving relics of thought,
life and death,
years, tears, joys,
and enlightenment lore,
these have revealed
this yearning....

Time
by Leland T. Lewis

time curves
within the northern
end of heaven
a spectral bubble's passage
on the celestial wind
time crossed
changes us
with fires
of hope's desires
spiral rainbow alchemy
beginning, middle, end
gaze upon planets
through raincloud eyeglasses
to this long life elsewhere
around temporal bend
love's true calm happens
peacefully patiently
floating time's circle
Universal again

Twenty Million Nights

twenty million nights ago
with earth immersed
in glorious glow
we flew above
the silent snow
capped mountains formed
by rocks that grow
we flew and flew and flew

Religious Zealot
by Leland T. Lewis

breathing out
provocative prayers
with static
echo voices
and visionless belief
based nowhere,
finds them hiding
from their havoc,
carefully clinging
to their tales,
oblivious to
unrealized
Relentless beckonings
of True
Celestial Callings

Looking Up
by Leland T. Lewis

silky star mist
shimmers softly
through calm cloud
skywide lacework of light
tingling heavens
joyfully resound
in the nebulai,
planet dance
spinning moons night...
