May It Be.

Song that touched my Soul.

“May It Be” Meditation. Death and Continuance. Picture by John Rose.

Genesis

First met Enya’s, “May it be” at, Lord of Rings, Two decades past, Stayed in my mind, Quietly backgrounding, Spiritual journey, Echoed in writing.

Zen Garden Mediation on “May It Be”.

On my veranda, Late at night, Venus, My evening star, Shines on me, Brings to mind, “May it be”.

Work alone, Systems Engineer, Researching, Publishing, Lecturing and, Tutoring.

Writing thoughts, Emotion filled, Mind journeys, Along roads, Between known and, Fantastical possibilities.

Socialised ideas, May break into, Light of day, Other times, Darkly shrouded, Entombed under, Dolmens of Ignorance.

Believe in my ideas, Belief gives, Strength to, Find a way and, Bring promises, within me, Full flowered into, Light of day.

Lyrics from May It Be.

“May it be an evening star Shines down upon you May it be when darkness falls Your heart will be true You walk a lonely road Oh, how far you are from home”

Meditating with My Zen Garden.

Read about, Zen Gardens and, Meditation many, Years back.

Decided to build, Zen Garden, Couldn’t dump, Sand and, Rock in apartment’s, Dining room, Under table or, In front of, Television, Second bedroom, Full of plants, My bedroom, Full of me.

Zen Garden has, Timber frame, Just glued, No nailing or, Brass screws, Can’t tell why, Seemed fitting, Took time and, Precise work, Hand cutting, Sanding and, Wax polishing.

Zen Garden’s Sand mixed, With quartz, Heightens textures, Light and shadow, Carefully brushed, Rocks picked by, Grandchildren from, Beaches and, Mountain walks.

Creating garden, Placed rocks and Shape spontaneously, Not consciously, Creates mindscape, Ideas and relationships, Spiritual journeys, Hidden meanings, Unbounded imaginings, For walking mind.

In my past, Wandered around, Stonehenge and, Irish Dolmens, Tombs and, Ritual places Passing down, Cultural knowledge, Countless generations.

My Zen Gardens, Dolmens represent, Knowledge past, Ideas forming, Future promises.

Dolmens appear, Frequently in, Zen Garden, Provoking thoughts, Spirit and Eternity, Beginnings and ends, Reminders of, Humanity.

Blessed be.
