Ron Poem

Ron Poem

Something about him
touched my soul
not just my mind
not just my heart
deeper
as if he were a part of me
come to life

I rejoiced
to be with him
to behold the sparkle in his eye
to be swept up by his laughter
to be a part of his imagination

An element of wild
in his soul
spoke to me
in a private language
not shared by society

But
a lifetime of hurt
doubt
fear
and the poor human condition
of limitation
crept in

We always want the impossible
whatever we get disappears
we try to hold on
to something that's already gone
and we wonder
"what was the point?"
Nobody knows
it's the same for us all

We turn to the beyond
asking God
for a handhold

And if we've lived enough
when the Titanic does sink
rather than panic
struggling to save our own life
we notice
that the band plays right on
and we smile

Nothing beats the way
the band plays right on
while the ship is sinking

Star-generated

Why did we forget
that we were
star-generated?

Why did we think
we were
self-created?

Open your heart and mind
and you will remember
Everything

Happiness

Happiness

When you finally know
what Happiness is,
you know it is
there all the time
just behind the cloud

Loving You

Loving You

Loving you
has been easy

There's something
Inside

That responded to you

I don't dance naked with
Just anybody

My Marriage

My Marriage

Misunderstandings and Differences
Took root and grew
And grew
And grew
And grew
Into a Pain Monster
That swallowed us both up.

Your Shining Eyes

Your Shining Eyes

Everything longed for
Everything missing
Everything sought

Everything
Everything
Everything

is right there
in your shining eyes.
