The Winter Holi-Dazed & EnLightened Word Jam

[WIREMAN]

the form
...........gives the
flow.

stringin it out on
a straight line just
ends up in loss,

the writers cost
in william tell
looking up from
the bottom
wishing well..........

[judih]

lookin for a miracle
lookin for a miracle
been down so long
lookin for a miracle

playin Parker down the dusty road
truckful of shit pours its load in my way
it's all the same, brother
it's always this way, sister

lookin for a miracle
lookin

long shot sunset spills her tomorrow
fog engulfed future teases her tonight
it's painted by number
it's a cartoon on a bender

lookin for a miracle
lookin for a mirror
lookin for the high priestess high heyday
lookin for the mt. olympus in the valley of yesterday

Dizzy spills his guts and guzzles peanuts in the crowd
while folks spill their bourbon, passing bullshit
laughter in backwater bistros

lookin for an answer
lookin for an answer
the feet keep on goin
while the soul's lost in dreamin
with tractors pointed nowhere
plowing fields growin nothin

and we're lookin for each other
and we're listening out for voices
and it's gonna be a miracle
if we make it through the day

[tinkerjack]

formless

waiting for a miracle
santa going to bring me a satin doll
waiting for a miracle
praying a truck load of shit coming down from masada has a blow out

the void
that starts and ends in your own mind
you only believe that there is more...

in espiritu sanctu
santorum obligato

[judih]

my latin stinks
but my satin doll croons
hoping to catch a perimeter
a CD on a whirl

a reason to listen
a wild note in a wilder mind

[WIREMAN]

READY TO FLY
to soar past
logins
past the boundaries that
are shared
to the region of
care
of do ya
dare
the jam
comin to an end
thank u all once
again
this is the end
happy holi-dazed................

[judih]

at your end, i begin
(innocuously)

time's comin to a point
when all falls down
gravitational stretch
bungees to the ground

then up again
fearless flying
battery beat
jam charged mind

low voltage, yet
all voltage welcome

[hester_prynne]

Just waltzed in
to the joy jam,
whole lotta turkey,
and pineappled ham,
oh what a hungry
girl I am.

Shopping these
word malls,
presence abound,
I'm even going to
wrap up
a few that I found.

I'll put them
under my Christmas tree,
sparkles for my eyes only
to see,
all year long,
they'll radiate to me.

What I have
to add,
is small and meek,
please feel free
to take
a peek.

Might be hard
to see,
without closing
your eyes,
but that's what it takes
for my surprize.

There it is,
in closed eye view,
you've always had them,
those lifelong shoes,
jitterbug dancin,
to the joy of you.

[Doreen Peri]

I am beyond the perimeter
of winter. My muse
is frozen, buried under
half a foot of snow.
I know it is time for
celebration and the
creation of light, but
I cannot ignite a spark
inside my dark soul.
The whole of me yearns
for the birth of words
to illuminate! Yet I remain
entombed beneath a snowdrift,
strained in the squall, all of me
seeking the gift, unable to unwrap
a miracle! Dig me out!
Dig me out! Help me emerge!
I am icebound!

[Whitebird Sings]

i sit in stillness
choosing to have some time alone with my soul
and on the wind
i hear the sounds of my familiars

i listen with intention
and it is the voice of doreen
that i distinguish

friend,
i encircle you
dance around you
and gather up a bundle of fallen sparks
laying them at your feet

hold my hand
and now the other

let me lead you in the dance
together we will reclaim the joy

...and celebrate that which is our familiar

namaste
dohiya
so it is.

[Whitebird Sings]

for doreen and for hester
and everyone here
who are my shams of tabriz,
a little Rumi

The morning wind spreads its fresh smell.
We must get up and take that in,
that wind that lets us live.
Breathe before it's gone.

Dance, when you're broken open.
Dance, if you've torn the bandage off.
Dance in the middle of fighting.
Dance in your blood.
Dance when you're perfectly free.

(from: The Essential Rumi: Translation by Coleman Barks with John Moyne. Castle Books, New Jersey 1997)

[Doreen Peri]

A perfect close for the Jam, whitebird!

Thank you so much for Rumi!

----------
I dance through winter until spring.
I sing a celebration. I bring wishes
for joy and peace to all.
Dance with me and sing through
winter, spring and fall, 'til summer's
sun warms .... I am thankful each
one of you was born.
----------

Until next time.... Wishing you all a beautiful Holiday season.
