The Fall

Audio Recordings / tagged Choice, Eden, Garden, Harvest, Temptation / October 1, 2024 / by neil_2015_wordpress@neilmeili.com

Did Eve look all fall
at the tree in its first fruiting

Watch all but one fall
to the ground and rot to mush

And say to herself
"This might be my last chance"

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood

and I took the one less
and the one more traveled by

Black and White

Audio Recordings, Personal Growth / tagged Choice / November 1, 2022 / by neil_2015_wordpress@neilmeili.com

Old mister magpie
yin-yang trickster
coyote of the sky

Wearing on the outside
what I'm hiding
in the in

Black and white
and good and evil in
clear and equal measure

Sitting on a fencepost
scolding me for
a coward

The First Supper

Audio Recordings / tagged Choice, Easter, Jesus, Passover, Rebirth, Sacrifice, Spirituality / April 15, 2022 / by neil_2015_wordpress@neilmeili.com

As above so below
In a life between lives

I sit at a table of light
Set like Da Vinci’s last supper

A table of light lined with people of light

The one in the center the brightest of light
Takes a knife all of light and cuts an arm all of light

The slice of his flesh drips red with his blood
(the only color in the picture of light)

To each at this table he offers

The gift of his flesh to the people of light
(the only color in the picture of light)

One by one they have a choice
not a last supper, but a first

By accepting the gift of his flesh
(the only color in the picture of light)

They come to this Earth
their own gifts to give

The Debt

Audio Recordings, Family / tagged Choice / January 25, 2022 / by neil_2015_wordpress@neilmeili.com

There is a belief
that souls circle and choose
the parents they'll be born to

If this is so, and who's to say
it is honor and debt beyond repay
