Self Portrait

Self Portrait

If you’re an artist; painting your picture;
just how will you appear?
If you desire that you be a fixture;
what is it you have to fear?

Our self image; what others see;
when vanity holds the canvas;
unlike that mirror’s image of me;

Kingdom Of Duality

Kingdom Of Duality

We live in a universe of infinite duality;
two overlapping kingdoms, connected;
one, posing the illusion of mortality;
the other one, by the Master, perfected.

We’re all in two places at the same time;
a concept, most inconceivable;
but, when both overlap as energies sublime;
