Night Creature Turning Into Forest

Night Creature Turning Into Forest - Mitro

Red orbs in forest light the way
and blaze with unremitting flame
but still I wander 
and still it's the same
to take the fire
to take the flame
amazing destiny
one travels at night
for beneath the cover of dark
one is home once again
-Mitro

Suntan

Suntan Suntan -Mitro

I picked and peeled the grapefruit
and inside I found  gold
a golden circle of sunshine
to fill an empty void
it always makes me happy
to know there plenty more
money always brings me  sunshine
when it comes knocking at my door

Thinking of Bill Gates 2015

Thinking of Bill Gates 2015 - Mitro

A river of money flows to me
golden ocher overflowing my flanks
a symphony of  gold coin coins dance for me
in pairs and in colonnade flanks
they twinkle they sparkle like sunshine
each reflecting a beauteous light
I love oh how I love money
it makes everything that is wrong, right
it feeds the ranks that are hungry
it puts coats on the cold ones backs
it puts medicine in the mouths of children
and  water into parched lands back
so explain to me how it is written
that to be rich, is to be so bad
money is like a cushion
it buys what makes one so glad
so if I have my choice
and I do have one
to be wealthy or to grovel in poor
I would definitely take the wealthy
it's infinitely much more pleasurable
 than being so unhappily poor

Kitten With a Blue Scarf on the Road to Nirvana

Kitten With a Blue Scarf on the Road to Nirvana - Mitro

The circle of fruit fell from the tree
to the brilliant grass below
it rolled and rolled and rolled and rolled
until it hit the sea
clever idea pops in his head
I'd like to be a fish
and sail across the salty brine
to see what I am worth
so it floated and swam
and dived and submerged
until it had it's fill
then announced
I know whats next
I'd like to be a bird
so it took to flight and moved the air
and traveled the universe
until it occurred
that there was more
and decided to cover the earth
and go into each and every part
of every single thing
and said aha this is what Buddha sought
now I am everything
- Mitro

Rise Up Rise Up Schrodingers Cat

Schrodingers Cat - Mitro

Rise up rise up oh mighty ones
and let us see your souls
for what is still inside you
is only left for fools
take up the stuff
take up the leaves
and let me go away
away away to beauty land
to play another day
rise up rise up
oh loyal friend
and let me soothe your soul                
for you are such a treasure
with you what need of gold
take me to the mountains
let me roam the plains
for tomorrow is forgotten
when we know of names
 rise up rise up oh mighty ones
and I'll let you take the charge
of balancing and golden rings
and things I know not of
-Mitro

Trees With Eyes That See Me

 Trees With Eyes That See Me - Mitro

The house is surrounded by  good guys
people masquerading quite plainly as trees
each object is filled with a person
so only good guys apply for work please
and take me along to the river
for a ride that is filled not with angst
of visions of crocodiles floating
and waters overflowing the bank
let me look to the sky at the sunshine
and the warmth of the sun on my skin
and let me travel back to my childhood
where everything in my life
is innocence once again.
-Mitro

Creation

Creation - Mitro

As fishes talk in silken voice
gentle animals cavort
and the boat glides through the water with little help from me
- Mitro

The Room is Filled With Angels

Angel Too -  Mitro

The room is filled with angels
everyone who cares
the room a glow with their energy
people from ceiling to stairs
so blessings to my mothers and blessings to my dads
and to all my brothers and sisters
I'm very glad I had
for some day we will be angels
and this poem will be for us
and we will rock and roll on the ocean
holding others in our trust 
-Mitro
