Monastery at Night

Audio Recordings / tagged Celibacy, Dreams, Isolation / December 30, 2024 / by neil_2015_wordpress@neilmeili.com

The heavy keys have locked
heavy locks on heavy doors
and all the world withheld without

Yet in their cells are monks still men
no matter the roughness of the sheets
there is a softness of the thighs in dreams

When you love someone you love their journey - Alicia Keys

It is nice in the sky for two
to arc together in each other’s glow

Sometimes in times of quarantine
distance must be arced by memory

Feeling like you’re in jail right now
make of it what you will, or look to these
Anne Frank
I live in a crazy time

Victor Frankl
Between stimulus and response
there is a space.
In that space is our power
to choose our response

John on the island of Patmos
You have set before me
an open door
which no man can close

Under the Bed

News, Relationships / tagged Anxiety, Covid19, Fear, Isolation, Nightmare / May 2, 2020 / by neil_2015_wordpress@neilmeili.com

In this dream between worlds

There may sometimes be
monsters astir under the bed
foul of breath and orange of face

If you are fortunate enough
to not be sleeping alone
reach out and touch

He will go away

Smeltering in Place

News, Relationships / tagged Covid19, Isolation, Lockdown / April 30, 2020 / by neil_2015_wordpress@neilmeili.com

Pressure creates heat

Some metals merge
and steel in strength

Others melt their separate ways
