POEMS OF STUDENTS

John Fenton

True Nature

Awe,

Inspiring,

Stillness,

....through the breath

and through the silence,

we become infinity.........becoming.


Travelling Joyfully

See the journey

and not the location.

Be the becoming

and not the become.


Matty's Seed
11th March, 2005

death, oh death...
life dying into death.
that black bled bleeding into death,
down, down, into the base red root of the chakras.

death dying into life,
and in times gone by, satisfied,
and this time not.

.....and the surging passion of the black bled bleeding moving through,
bringing the passions of the base red kundalini,
through,
unsatisfied,
hungry.

into and through the emotions,
into and through the oceanic heart,
into and through,
into and through ...

until ..

the black bled bleeding through the red raw emotions
still hungry
touches
love.

and the passions arising,
and the emotions bursting,
and the heart extending,
the mind holding,
the eye seeing,
and the whole being through the black bled bleeding,
released.
brought into being with the red raw emotions.


life dying into life.

released and yet held,
held in the passion that so once lost me,
that same releasing-holding passion that now finds
me
through the black bled bleeding.

touched inside and out,
held outside and in
and life's longing for itself found in death.

touched...
seeded by the passion...
called by love...
into and through, into and through, into and through...
birthed.
life.

still.
settling.
centred.

calm, calming, calmer, with the black-red passion.


Arisings

We think we are the being who breathes,
....but we are the breath....

We think we are the thinker who thinks,
....but we are the thought....

we think we are the singer, the dancer, the musician who plays,
but we are the sounds on which those reputations are built

.....and sometimes we think we are God,
but we are simply a word on his lips.......
