Some clarity forming, some sifting come to fruition
Bhagwan, Rajneeshism, and us … what will be?

He is enlightened and he has written and said
as much about it as he wishes … hence, his silence

Rajneeshpuram and Rajneeshism are reflections of him
thru the lens of a humanity yet unenlightened

He is not the imperfections, nor is he the enlightenment
he is the guidepost, proof of the destination
and we, we are the gathering crowd,
who have found the guidepost and worship it
aborigines in orange

He has created a storm and we are in it
anvils and hammers of each others quests
and we each quicken the other as we stumble

We’re weaving legend and myth and structure in rings here
camped at his roadside shrine
where he stands, pointing

I will try not to forget the destination amid this noise
nor that he is proof of it
and that Rajneeshism and Rajneeshpuram
and my sanyasin brothers and sisters are devices
for me on this, the stage he has swept.

Deep rivers of life and love there
and in her eyes and questions

Touched to the quick, with open hearts
we take aim on the future

Gordon and she … patterns and people
probabilities of the heart

Yea, though I walk thru
the valley of emotions….

Dear Gerda, people who change
between the rock and the hard place

Are twisting against the coils of their life
seeking any relief

Those who change thru simple awarenesses
they, …they did not need to do so

So who has made the deeper change
and the more enduring?

Gerda and the book, 2150 A.D., taught me something
about sexual union
and spiritual compatibility…
it’s true.

We do have soul mates, brother and sister spirits.

Come and wash me in your peace, sister
and sooth the ache that waits forever
to be whole.

Eyes to eyes … skin to skin …
these, these cannot begin to express
how much we are kin.
