Profound
I discovered
    many years ago

        that it was difficult
            at best

                to be....
                   profound
                       all of the time.

We are most likely
    to be....
        profound,

            in the most unlikely places,
                when we least expect
                    to be.

Like the bathroom....
    seated on
        a throne of white....

            with no one around
                to share
                    the light....

            which momentarily
                dissolves....

                    the perceived
                        darkness
                            of our minds!

Somewhere, Someplace, In Space and Time
Somewhere, someplace, in space and time,

    I believe
        there is
            a love for me.

Somewhere, someplace, in space and time,

    between my spirit
        and my mind

            my feelings are creating...

                the love,
                    the lover,
                        of my dreams.

Somewhere, someplace, in space and time,

    the refinement....

        of all I have ever been,
            of all I have ever known,
                of all of the experiences
                    I have ever shared,

                        of all my thoughts
                            about these things,

    will become...

        the love,
            the lover,
                of my life.

    Why is it?

        That I always seem to find
            that my questions about love

                are always the most searching
                    after having loved
                        someone...

                            somewhere.....
                                someplace......
                                    space and time?
