Quantum Lighthouse (new poem)

Quantum Lighthouse (new poem)
by Tim Kavi

folded origami

I jumped across 
the parsecs that stretched
for millions of kilometers 
across space and time
intersecting spectral lines
on a cosmic chess board

I walked like one of those ships
reeling towards my life
going by far too quickly now
there is in the shadows lurking
a fearful sight
baffling revelations of science

meeting myself in the cosmic night.

IN TIMES LIKE THIS (New Poem)

by Tim Kavi

in times like this, we feel so afraid

but then I come home to your love

and feel the comforts you've made

while the lights of the universe

shine so bright; in this darkened night,

when I see you, my fears disperse

there need not be any fear

when the love of my life

is so near 

in the gentle repose

there is a stillness of peace

in memories of those

many nights of your kisses

bringing sudden healing

to all the world's remisses

hope in your arms tonight

where all troubles forgotten

all wrongs are made right

asleep in your arms tonight.

Author's note: while the coronavirus ravages the world, this song arose from the kisses of my lovely wife!~~TK
Psalm 91:5-6

I Looked At (new poem)

I LOOKED AT (New Poem)

by Tim Kavi

I looked at

water coming forth 

from the rocks

streaming down 

the mountainside

becoming a stream

a river

and then a mighty ocean

I looked at

the harbored life

living so small

I could not see

but still believed

becoming greater

swimming lives

across eternity's tide

I looked at

temples burning

incense in blossoms

of lovely surprise

becoming deities

in the smoke

that did arise

winged ministries fly

I looked at

my planet; hoping

for love to save it

some are sleeping

to garden it

to appreciate

Gaia's keeping

to nurture it

I looked at

starry skies

saw many suns

blinking in the night

realizing cosmic scale's

awesome humbling

powers; across the

vast cosmos

I looked at

me; and then You

saw a thunderous

glory in the meeting

of the between

You and I

face to face

in every place

where souls are greeting.

the whisperer (new poem)

the whisperer

by tim kavi

to the seashore

waves crashing the beach

warm sunbeams

birds sound overhead

in a shell

held up to an ear

eager and expectant

smiling nature

a path of delight

to the expanse of galaxies

near and distant

warm or cold

a tide of human exploration

there is only the silence

of space

sought for hope

gathered in an embrace

I heard a whisperer.

Music of the Wind (New Poem)

Music of the Wind 
by Tim Kavi

moorage of things
wafting sounds play
frequencies of existence
across the hallowed ear

sacred sounds
Nature in all living
vibrations of being 
sound like whispers

flutes of lung
heard in humans
and animal hearts
play our heartstrings as one

wavelike strings
unfold and shape
expressions of all
We are

on to sweet compositions
of instrumental choice
there's my lovely song
playing across

all manners of love.

Certain Orbs Lit by You (New Poem)

Certain Orbs Lit by You
by Tim Kavi

well there is nothing
known that is not already known
inside you

there is all the universe
in a flowery petal
or grain of sand

orbits of meaning
searching for celestial reason
revealing

known truths
certain revelations
curtains pulled back

in the eyes of the Other
in manifold states
of being

I only know
that You see something
too

and I long to hear
it in your quavering
singing voice

even as you grow
as old and young
as existence itself
I hear the singing
wisdom in all that you
express

for you are
the clouds of all meaning
drifting across the Uni verse

and your love
lights all the orbs.

swirling cosmic dust (new poem)

swirling cosmic dust by tim kavi

juking
swirling nebulas
carry memories they cannot tell
exhorting the ancients
amazing those who look
at every turn

there is a majestic
body every where
in space
balanced like any natural
hegemony, ecosystem precarious
tightrope of existence

stretching as far as
one can see
dropping off the distant
horizon like a ship
disappearing in a journey
faster than light

traveling to meet you;
yet never reaching the end
in galactic dust
we are too far apart so far
to find each other

seems almost impossible
where are the other
beasts in this vast expanse?
why are they not yet seen?
do they not yet exist?
too young to know

what we see, or how they play,
yet we know we will
someday meet them
and they will be as different
as we are; night and day
will bring it in history's making
if we do not extort or push out
and ignore our explorers' heart

please let us look up
there upon starry nights
and never lose sight
of the gloried living
organism reflected in
billions of star lights.

Quantum Foams (New Poem)

Quantum Foams

by Tim Kavi

when walking

among the cloudy nebulae

there is a great expanse

to the end I cannot see

yet there is a horizon

ancients saw

the end of the world

sailing off of it

we travel faster than light

but still there is too much

around the curve

I encounter the former me

but what is this?

more than we can ever know

and see

in the tiniest atoms

the I; we cease to be?

marvelous majesty

and mystery

uttering things too

wonderful

like star crossed

destiny

think what you want?

imagine what you see

in the quantum foams

there is every chance

you will discover it

determined by your

choices; yet remaining free

even in the depths

there is plenty of room

at the bottom

particles float

in fixed yet uncertain

orbits; hovering

in suspended clouds

of galactic dust

my hand goes through

the wall

my spirit is in my body

my mind embodied

becomes material

it travels

yet bound by this tent

yearning for release

to travel another day

far and away

down and below

through eternity

finite in infinite

soupy Creator's sea

the wonders are too

great for me

and when the Sirens

announce land is drawing

close; I will open

my sailor's eye

but cannot trust what

I hear and see

for if there is only the port

of this existence

I am left to ponder

and have many things

left by faith to believe

so I keep searching

walking from within

and without

quantum foams

swirling all about.

Moonlight Reflection and Blues (New Poem)

Moonlight Reflection and Blues

by Tim Kavi

chiseled in white, Your

silhouetted body glimmers

in moonlight

hues of blue against the

backdrop of darkening night

sighs escape the moon's lips

for You are awesome

in Diana's sight

dancing stardust is in your hair

standing near You are framed

in beauty, where even robed,

Rodin stops to stare

I dare not breathe, wondering if

I will awaken, to find

You are not there

my eyes struggle to focus

to make coherence in the bending

twisted destiny, chiseled in night,

I feel your warm body next to me

blue event horizon

in the sheets of our bed

canyons and furrows lead to
Your vastness

where a Goddess is born

for You are a beautiful sight.

"Puny" Human Existence (New Poem)

"Puny" Human Existence
by Tim Kavi

the puniness
of our existence
in the vastness
of the universe

filled with
such arrogance
and self importance

it is no wonder
that ego is the source
of conflicts
internal and external
that leaves fleeting
moments of conclusion
that seem like comforts

but in our "puny" efforts
to love
and to heal
truly great things
get done

and in our search
for transcendence
is the humbling
journey of the soul
to new paths
of being

to new planes
of existence
to enlightenment
and beyond

and why is it that
it is only the dancing souls
that try to restore order
bring chaos
and are hated so badly
because they loved so?

we are not just
DNA programmed souls
that happen to think

but are beings
on the transcendent way
to meaning
purpose
fulfillment
and love

remember this
that in that is the kiss
of what some
call the Void

the freedom to be
is what beckons
and the freedom to be left alone
and exist in the face of it
comes at great price

for in love
there is never alone
but only the giving up of self
in selfless love

to be moved
by compassion
introverted will
is not the struggle of the weak
but those trodding the upward hill
the narrow ridge
between Self and Other

that once remarked
you are not my brother!

and once languished
in the crying sea

there is only that unknowing
which shall become
the surety of all that is.

your beauty (new poem)

your beauty
by Tim Kavi

I saw you at the museum
in the ruins of Athens
at the park the other day
and I saw you in the flowers just opened

all around
I saw your beauty
it is like the dancing goddess of spring
that brings life

and like the harvest
reaping in Autumn
you know
what tomorrow your love will bring

all is new
renewed and covered in your Earth
again

great is your faithfulness
great is your love
my words are just markings of love
where I am a tool in your hands

tending to wherever your love grows
born things
are everywhere

stretched across the membranes of time
ready to burst
the underlying true Universe
is foreshadowed
and longs to be born

waiting for your spoken words of love
and everywhere uttering your Name
there is only the appearing
of all that is You
in love
in resurrection
in beauty.

You Can Give Me Your Heart (New Poem)

You Can Give Me Your Heart
by Tim Kavi

whenever you are ready
and safely decide to
I know it is an act of trust
but I say and show in all I do
that I love you

you can give me your heart
I will only love it
cherish it
kiss it
breathe on it
because I love you

I will never ever
hurt you
but only hold you
and your heart so very close

for when I hear it beating
I hear the power of life itself
and I feel the beauty of all love that is

and when I hold it
I know I hold you
your very life in my hands

I hear the rhythms
of your love
and they are the sounds of a universe
a universe
of your never ending love.
