recalling my greatest poem

only recited, never written, experienced one time, and one time only

this recollection is about 
the most incredible poem

that i ever recited
but...

all i remember is the story 
of how the poem came to be

for you see

the words of said poem
fully escape me

at the time
i lived in Kaimuki

the cool air
soul breezy

as i looked up at the Moon
and stars as far as the eye could see

and i spoke to the Moon
declared my admiration for such a beauty

at times, i desparately wish 
that i could remember 

those words spoken many moons before

yet even as they flowed, i knew then
that moment as it was - only meant to be shared

with the Heavens - as vast above there,
me so far below here

you might ask: if this was such a great piece
why didn't i pause to write it down?

the answer escapes me as to why 
i didn't document it

for i was just living
taking in all that i'd been seeing

a simple + Being
breathing and believin'

One with the moment
the moment in tune within me

i realize that without the memory 
of the exact contents of this masterpiece

you Friend are left to wonder
to ponder

how good could this
really have been?

while you'll never know
the contents of that poem 

beyond my brief recollection 
of how the experience felt

if you listen close!
listen Here! 
& listen Now!

if it is
All the Wow

that you seek,
then such Wow

will be found...

the message moves with the wind
as it dances between the leaves

like Light glistening off 
waves as they ripple in the ocean

and the melody of a birdsong
playing first thing in the mornin'

like a Japanese Conbini
open 24/7, magnificence on every corner

all the Secrets,
of Creation

are there, in the moment
each moment

as the new moment manifests

if you want to see these Secrets for yourself
then turn your gaze both inwards and feel outwards

and there 
be the essence

this is the meditation
of the Eternal Manifestation

soul flow
and let them words be

i guess never needed to write 
those words down

because in order to be found
they had to be set free
