Vol 1 36 Poems to Miracles

PLUCK A PLUM

God who freed
from fruit the seed
can pick a pear
from a baby tree.

God who sired
the hallowed fig
does harvest fruit
from a barren sprig.

God made blooms pastel
and bright fruits
and can a kumquat take
from a tree of quince.

God Who made Pluto and
the Pleiades
can pluck a plum
where there is no tree.

ABLUTIONS AND ABSOLUTIONS

Miracles are often a surprise
but Godplanned as the sunrise
and stand beyond the realm
of mathematical surmise.
They multiply solutions
Cause hurt’s dissolution
bring kind absolution
and rain reunion ablutions.

(to Paul Obis and Clare Barrett,

founder and an editor of Vegetarian Times)

RAIN TRANSUBSTANTIATION

How did the sweet rain
transubstantiate
to juice of pear

(to R and J Pear)

MIRACLES ARE MIRRORS

As the pure bright mirror
transmits the morning sun
we need not understand God
but just pass God on

(to Richard Marshall)

SEASLIP

Through the night
…miracles we did not see
.. icebergs of resistance
slipped into the sea

THE MATHEMATICS OF MASTERS

The mathematics of masters is
that they need no mammon
no medium of money
to make and
manifest their multiplying
magnifying
miracles. Their
hearts summon manna.

For them 9 minus 9 is 9 trillion.
As they give all away, they
become heir to all. They add
infinite zeros to 1 digit numbers.
Their flames ignite
other torches into light.

INSTANTANEOUS MIRACLES

Raise the blind..
the room floods with light
Plug in the lamp..
gone the night.
Light the cotton..
it’s gone in fire
God’s mercy does
fill
every desire

ALL SEAS CLEAVE

Every sea is
a Red Sea cleaving..
parting for you
and yoursailclad clipper
All you need do
is embark.
Every crowd is a
parting Red Sea
giving way to
your Love’s authorit

APPLE MIRACLE

How are the gold sun
brown earth
crystal rain
and blue sky
wanded into
crimson skinned
apple orbs?
By their positive
thought creed
which takes
but 1 seed

BABY STEPS OF AWESOME POWER

1000 cars go.. after l green light.
1000 tons of avalanche safely
move..
from l sound slight.
A thumbs up from Caesar..
saves the gladiator’s life.
Make one phone call..
.. a call to reunite.

BEGGING BOWL

Miracles occur in the large sized
begging bowl of the dumpsters.

BEIJING SPRING

In Beijing
the I Ching
joyful sings
eternal spring
Kite strings
silent ring
Sun to all
quick’ning brings

BLOSSOM VENUTIAN

At Blossom Center,
they seldom play
martial music
for God does not
arm blooms

BRINGING DOWN THE WALLS

In one mind chamber we lock
cows and sheep and pigs and fishes
while dogs and cats birds and
dolphins
we confine
in another chamber of the mind
God take down those walls.

CRICKET KNEES

As the ears of crickets
are near their knees
so those to God surrendered
hear angels in the breeze

.

CUCUMBER VINE

Unencumbered
the vine of cucumber
climbs dead branch umber
pouring forth tender
tendrils of green trust

DETECTIVES

Detectives track
and trail and trace
Meditaters.. rely
on God’s gift of grace

DISCARDED SEED OF TOMATO

Like the discarded seed of
last year’s tomato plants
which grew 5 times taller
and many times
larger than the ones in
pots, so the grace of God
goes where God wills.

GIFT AFTER PAIN

the sun bequeaths a bright’ning star
shining in the brokenhearted ones scar
As oak leaves drip after needed rain
so the heart slowly heals after great pain

GLANCE OF A SAINT

The glance of a saint
is as the rising sun..
draping all with
dripping light..
cloaking all with absolution..
no matter what we have
done.. loving us
where we are.

GRASSHOPPERS

The grasshoppers found
the ants’ selfrighteous
preaching a little
hard to take..
and prayed to
God
‘please appear
now up here’
and God did so

HEART

He wanted to give a
gift to everyone in the world

.. from the manger of
the Christ Child
the sleigh of Santa Claus
the Buddha’s begging bowl
the upadhi of Droupadi*
None of them was as
limitless as his heart

(a vessel which was full of
food and could not diminished
.. until Droupadi at the end
of the day ate from it )

HEART RADIO DISPATCHER

The mind is a radio dispatcher
which can through prayer
send angels
to those in need.
But her heart..
need do nothing at all..
the angels
respond.. to unspoken calls.

(to L Seikel)

HOLIEST GROUND

The holiest ground in creation
says the Course In Miracles
is that where 2 foes have just
become friends. We thank You God
that all warzones and tense hotspots
are becoming holiest ground

HONEYSUCKLE HERALDS

God needs no
chain or buckle
to link
the roots
of honeysuckle.
Her herald fragrance
runs ahead
as her seamless
threads
delve in new
beds.

KINDNESS TO A BUG

Many wonders flow from
the tip of a magic wand.
Spherical music flows
from the tip of a baton.
A world of talk flows
from the metal of a plug.
Angels pay back in

finitely
kindness to a bug.

LIFTED

To give you joy
we shall endeavor
today tomorrow
and forever

LIFTOFF

Wind..The slightest breeze
stirs the wings of the bees

MERCEDES INDIA

All who love
animals are sympathetic
to those who provide
a leather synthetic

(May all quickly follow
Tesla’s example)

NO LECTOR

The bee Hector
needs no lector
to read him the sector
where blooms of great nectar
pour forth fragrant vectors

NOAH

if Noah had refused to kill trees
and refused to bar the door
on his ark
to the 3rd or 4th lark
perhaps his heart would
have caused God to cancel
the flood and transform
the world through grace

NOT STARLESS

He could no longer
decapitate the sunny gold
heads of the dandelions..
he could not make
a starless greengrass sky
.. could not remove
the constellations of
flowery Orions

ONE DEGREE

snow turns to rain
with 1 degree
as the sun takes
earth from 32 to 33

OUTRAGED WERE THE POOR PEASANTS

Outraged were the poor peasants
by the pretender prince’
carnage of pheasants
They prayed and in the very
present
God as a bow and gun destroyer
showed His presence

PHYSICS  MIRACLE

When A highly charged aura spherical
which transmutes all to spiritual
has weapons thrown against it
they boomerang
This is a physics law miracle
The nonviolent are prot

ected
by their own ultraviolet

RAMPS FOR SPIRITUALLY HANDICAPPED

We work to mandate for
the spiritually handicapped..
(all of us in 1 way or another)
access ramps for
easier entry
all the 777
gates into heaven
