I wrote this poem in 20-25 minutes at my journaling group at Seward Drop in Center for the mentally ill. Most of my poems were written in this period of time at my writer’s or journaling group. Only magnetized words that were on a metal tray were used to form this poem.

 

I am in the moment of no other time

in the place of no other place

I Am

 

I am drawn to Nature’s Love

as Your Love has Drawn me

May my words ripple others’ waters

as You, the Great One, ripple me

I Am

 

The Breaths of Angels paint clouds

of Images distinctly You

and I too am those Images,

for You Breathe me

as You Breathe the Angels

I Am

 

I hope to die to life

before I die from life,

to pass away from doubt

and Fear, and by Love and

Joy and Peace, Live truly.

I Am.

 

I Am in Your Arms and

laughing at Your Jokes and

making Love with You and

playing games of little Children

with You forever.

I Am.

An early proof for me is what lies hidden in language . One day I discovered (without cover, to reveal) the true essence of the word Universe (see description below) and thus began my quest to explore word origins and my elation at their once intended wonder. Note how the ancients viewed the world, how spiritually they experienced it, how much more forgiving and beautiful their experience and how we have reduced the concepts of our religious and spiritual terms, made blessings into mundane and even sometimes punitive, fear, guilt-ridden and controlling concepts. One of these concepts is the concept of dogma. One day, I looked at the word dogma , and it seemed to be struggling to get my attention. I had never had this happen before. I looked at the word carefully and diligently, and I realized that dogma spelled backwards is “Am God” ; theref

The Words

  The Words By Teak Kilmer Circa 2008   I love the way the words are strung about the neck of my mind ─ like ladies in waiting that but moments before stood mute   “Did I hear you speak,” I seem to say. “Is it time to play?” Oh, words, oh lovely words ─ my gratitude, my dance   you made me love you and, indeed, I was born to love you thus in my heart I pledge to you forever … room and board

Why Frogs?

  Why Frogs? By Teak Kilmer August 3 rd 2002   Frogs don’t fly, don’t sing, don’t do much of anything ...   except to croak and peep and when scared, they leap sit on fronds on lilly ponds   but frogs don’t fly, don’t sing don’t do much of anything ...   save grow their webby toes sidelong snare yucky bugs with their tongue-tongs that are longer than most drinking songs and other frogs of whom they’re fond to they’ll snuggle-up and bond ...   but frogs don’t fly, don’t sing don’t do much of anything...   except do frog kicks to exercise deep in water, then they rise in purple, green and red some are even blonde it’s said   but frogs don’t fly, don’t sing don’t do much of anything ...   yet pose on covers of greeting cards for which on my visa I may charge and hereon write poems like this and wish you oodles of birthday bliss     HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Mabel     Grandpa Teak               I wrote this on the i
