Two Poems by Michael Levy

What Was..What Will Be—July 2002

Once death shrouds this miserable day,
Where wanders the ceaseless care?
Will it pass away..can it come back out, to play?
Deserts fill with mortal dust beyond life's stare

Hence; without form does shadows whisper,
By measures of divine cosmic conduct,
Perhaps mystical freight will return to sender,
A vogue of observation none can miss?

A reflection unseen; timeless,
A speculation hidden; infinite,
A meditation obscure; limitless,
An echo vaporous: endless.

Entirety that exists........materializes anew,
To be filled with terror and avarice,
Or, will nature intervene with honey & delight
Born afresh; absence of what was...Now; what will be?

Obscure—July 2002

Contemplate what cannot be grasped,

Sense it....The significance of sensations,
It exists without Form.

Pay attention; Listen..... you cannot determine It........,
It exists without sound.....balance with no speakers.

Catch its; pristine virtue....feelings of mounting enjoyment....,
It exists without touch...shadow of a voids impression. 

Gaze its; elegant beauty...... grains of treasured excellence.....,
It exists without sight......aspects of enigmas vision.

Capture its; discreet aroma....... specks of flourescent enchantment.....,
It exists without smell.......aromatic mystery of fragrance.

Breath its; delicate flavor......shades of mystical delight.......,
It exists without  taste.....appetites whiff of desire.
