a morning whisper before i woke
a familiar voice, with love it spoke
in peace and stillness enter the day
let grace and gratitude lead the way
for each moment spawns the one that follows
the shapes of yesterday will form tomorrow
give your attention to the grandeur of now
and all that’s lost will soon be found
by K.Osei
nothing is wanted
because nothing is gained,
all that is,
is all that’s claimed;
that which is
the form of focus
is what appears
though never taught
formation’s causation
is resonating vibration
within a thought,
conception’s dawning
is ne’er retained,
and yet it is known
solely alone,
still a mystery it remains.
wholeness is an implicate order
cause and effect are one and the same
examine the messages inside the water
what is and isn’t has a common name
by K. Osei
be careful with arborvitae
at night, they like food
the willow
she move fast
when you look away,
she try to catch the fire
and kwanzan, she stand still
in spring she show out
after she see calleryana get dressed
everywhere i see maple
and black cherry
they be watching
from the fence line
where i don’t cut
we talk sometimes
talking bout take over,
taking back —
but i been here too.

Black is not darkness, but shadows of the light — it has never been subject to anything but itself. Its position is determined by its perception. It contains the full spectrum of life. In possessing self it posses its destiny, not by force but placid solitude. It’s origin is itself. power resides where it decides — and still, now is all. The work that needs doing to bring change is always carried out beneath. There is no external power greater than stillness. To change self is to change your world. History is littered with such. Energy confined is a part of mind, the cell is not a jail but where creation is defined. The outer world is a reflection from within. External stride is a fading tide. For even fame, belongs not to celebrity but the crowd. Like fickle fortune and shiny things, all must yield to the dark. You can never possess anything but self – seize that and all else will bowl to it.
