Bless Kami's most excellent Samyama post!

This topic is for distilling core stories and patterns down to their barest essence. Haiku is good for that.

Then let them all go.

You're welcome to put your own core story haikus here, and you're just as welcome to ignore mine.




Sergeant Mommy

I've seen outhouses
More pristine than this bathroom!
Get up, Lazies! CLEAN!!




The Bishop will Call

The Bishop will call
And force us to move again
If they don't like us.




Ambition

Someday you will be
Wife, mother, secretary.
I see. Is that all?

Hatred, insult thrown this way
Turned to love in acceptance
Alchemy of sweet surrender

Shyness

Look away from me!
I live behind closed curtains,
Afraid to be seen.

The Contro·versial·ist

Argue with me please!
Allow me to impart beliefs!
Contingent friendship.

The Lover

Centered in being,
Our friendship preceeds concepts.
Wordless vibration.

Childhood Poverty
I wander dirt streets,
Gnawing belly, pinching shoes.
Will we go hunting?

Shame
House, clothes, car, career:
Life has showered abundance.
I don't deserve it.

Daily Visitations from an Imaginary Thief

Bursting through the door,
He comes to take everything.
How to treat this thief?




To the Imaginary Thief:

Good morning! Welcome!
Would you like a cup of tea?
Take it. It's not mine.




Snarling Mother:

Mess with my children,
We will, both of us, find out
Where these lines are drawn.




The Thief:

Where is the trust that
I will treat you lovingly?

I don't have any.




The Thief:

Your children do not
Belong to you; I cannot
Steal what isn't yours.




Mother:

Allow a mother
Her instinct to shield her young.
You created it.



The Thief:

Allow me to be
Exactly what is needed
To be perfect love.

Silence, preacher-man!
Don't use your holy pulpit
To sow division!

They are as they are.
Be what you want them to be.
That is all I ask.

Raging fever today. Burning up in more ways than one.

Oh, and Bodhi, the above wasn't directed at you -- just more of the liz-stuff.

Love!!

LOL. I've got a little preacher man in me, so I appreciate the synchronicity! Much love to you, and thanks for starting this post. Poetic purification!

Tears of Liberty

Do not let me cry.
My trickery keeps you safe.
We will not come out.

Stifled Flame

I must be silent.
My words will immolate you.
They would savor that.

Serpent

One hundred and ten!
Enormous and venomous.
Hiding behind me.

Resurrection

Man and myth transform.
Asclepius brings new life.
And we are reborn.

Ain't dat da truth!

I've had this recurring waking nightmare about a home invasion for years, but never realized what it was about. God is the thief. In the first poem, I'm describing an ordinary thief but, by the third poem, I've realized who this really is. From the standpoint of a five-year-old girl, God is the thief who took everything -- her home, her friends, her father, her innocence, her food, clothes, her sense of self-worth. Everything. And instead of feeling gratitude for the abundance bestowed now, there's only guilt that I have more than others and fear that one day it will all be taken again. Only this time there is more at stake. There are children. Whew! Well that's enough purification for now. I've got work to finish up!! Thank goodness!!!

Feelings, thoughts, even my body
May be battered and broken by barrages of karma
But my Spirit will endure.
