Daughters of Shim Jung - personal poems from @utblog - August 2013 to October 2013


2013-10-11 

daughters of shim jung ~~ your personal sacrifice ~~ in secret unsung

2013-10-09 

crescent moon again ~~ so much has changed since last time ~~ my temporal friend

2013-10-06 

white chrysanthemums ~~ careful greenhouse oceans grow ~~ red sport abruptly

2013-10-05 

true inner voice hear ~~ with shouting of the world's crowd ~~ ringing in your ear

2013-10-03 

cold polished mirror ~~ four times as clear as the mind  ~~ king still the see-er

2013-10-02 

Adam still apart ~~ asleep to Eve of his own ~~ level of the heart

2013-10-02 

toe in the water ~~ still very cold despite warmth ~~ let it run farther

2013-10-01 

there's no finish line ~~ purpose of creation filled ~~ when one raptures time

2013-10-01 

"I said, Ye are gods" ~~ prince looking in pauper eyes ~~ both worthy of nods

2013-10-01 

irony supreme ~~ when ideals of love fulfilled ~~ clip the wings of dream

2013-09-30 

need fall and revive ~~ one without its other kin ~~ night without sunrise

2013-09-29 

four mile nature walk ~~ fowls of the air pure bathing ~~ no thought I may talk

sweet connections are ~~ beginners on mountain tops ~~ kissing favorite stars

2013-09-27 

arrow shot too far ~~ target being very near ~~ missing of the mark (apologies to Rumi)

2013-09-27 

fruit of the spirit ~~ eternal star in blue sky ~~ gentle don't fear it

2013-09-27 

the great middle way ~~ between fire and water ~~ harvest blessings stay

2013-09-27 

care full heart felt placed ~~ songs on the altar of life  ~~ unmerited grace

2013-09-27 

light bursts through the blinds ~~ between dark bars in the hall ~~ honoring my mind

2013-09-27 

book full of feelings ~~ stark one sentence prison keep ~~ broken hearts reeling

2013-09-27 

snow on summer leaves ~~ winters cold warning again ~~ bliss is never free

2013-09-24 

time/eternity ~~ time is what separates us  ~~ God, from you and me

2013-09-22 

waiter for sunrise ~~ watcher in starry darkness ~~  giver of our skies

2013-09-22 

"love is in the air" ~~ Jesus said "love is the wind" ~~ in the sail of care




2013-09-21 

crag to crag leaping ~~ better in peaks and rock falls ~~ own counsel keeping

2013-09-20 

great joy to great pain  ~~ Holy One colors new worlds ~~ patinaed with flame

2013-09-20 

reaching back to you ~~ journeyed in the rising sun ~~ called, did not know me

2013-09-18 

ancient prophets knew ~~ sunsets are watching oneness ~~ we can know it too

2013-09-18 

wishing you Godspeed~~ our distance shrinks to zero ~~ eternally free

2013-09-17 

one eternity ~~ peel past and future glaucous ~~ layers to the heart

2013-09-13 

"love is in the air" ~~ Jesus said "love is the wind" ~~ in the sail of care

three jewels divide ~~ origin until union ~~  one understanding

2013-09-11 

how strange is a kiss ~~ spirit given mouth to mouth ~~ lips out finger tips

2013-09-10 

God's above all love ~~ how can we teach another ~~ unless we're in love

crescent moon rebirth ~~ the star of eternity ~~ kept his true promise




2013-09-07 

from the fall refrain ~~ summer light waning to gold ~~ until born again

2013-09-04 

all appearances ~~ seeming outwardly common ~~ hide eternity

2013-09-03 

there is mystery ~~ at the heart of the matter ~~ many and the One

2013-09-02 

leavened bread of life ~~ grain, herbs, water, breath, strength, tears ~~ one through sacrifice

2013-08-31 

life's breath of warm pain ~~ becoming one heartbeat to ~~ separate again

2013-08-30 

upon reflection ~~ seeing myself more clearly ~~ understanding you

2013-08-30
