I hope you don't mind my sharing these dearestest Eric!

The Falling You are the falling... As rain that strives to feed the earth. And caught within this sudden storm. I lie drenched beneath your touch. Do I Wish You Near As if a wish could bring you closer to the flesh of empty hands. In your absence...I seek nothing And the void itself is your embrace. Do I wish you near? As if a wish...could bring you any closer.

Congratulations dear Eric on your new book: Have Faith in Empty Things!!!

From the back cover:

quote:

There is so much more in empty things. We barely even notice... we never give ourselves the chance. Have faith in empty things: a loving touch or glance...the breath of a child...rain...silence. What value can we place on such inexpressible beauty? We can try to fill the emotional and spiritual gaps we have within ourselves with possessions, but the chasm is still an aching void. Surrender to the music of silence. Be still. The words contained in this book will take you there. Read the simply truth in the grace of this poetry... and experience the faith within your soul.

Gems dearestestest Ericc! Thanks googols for sharing these words with the world!

To Know the Sky

Empty of words...


This cloud drifts without
a verse.

Leaving nothing in its wake.

I seek to know the
sky-

And chasing clouds...I leave my
words behind.

Eric P. McCarty

Listening With the River

To sit and listen with the
river...

As a breeze whispers secrets
through the grass.

And birds sing nothing to the air but
the carried flight of their
expansion.

The river moves in stillness.

While I sit in the quiet motion of
my thoughts-

Listening with the river.

Eric. P. McCarty

The Hand of My Enlightenment

Sometimes my hand is
more.

Sometimes the world stretches
near to meet my caress.

Turning as time in holy
devotion.

Sometimes my hand is the dawn.

Palm to the night...while the day
burns the back in a rise of
expectations.

And sometimes my hand is
only this.

With nothing held and nothing
offered-

Sometimes my hand is
just a hand.

Eric. P. McCarty

Thank you for sharing the information Teo, and for posting Eric's beautiful poetry.

Love,
yoko



The Falling


You are the falling...

As rain that strives to
feed the earth.

And caught within this
sudden storm.

I lie drenched beneath your
touch.

Do I Wish You Near


As if a wish could bring you
closer to the flesh of
empty hands.

In your absence...I seek nothing

And the void itself is your
embrace.

Do I wish you near?

As if a wish...could bring you
any closer.

Presentation of the Publisher

Thank you Teo for this announcement. I had the intention of doing it too. Again: congratulations to dear Eric for this new wonderful accomplishment!

I can't wait to have it in my hands, even though it is already present within my heart!

There is such depth and beauty in Eric's poetry!

I sincerely believe that he will be considered a cult Poet. He is so absolutely special!

(((((((((Eric))))))))) thank you!

Love and Joy,
Margherita

Congratulations Eric.

I am looking forward to reading the poetry.
Thank you everyone for sharing poems from Eric's new book. They are very beautifully written.

sincerely,
Gisele

Thanks, Eric.
Nice stuff.

I think Eric is likely to be considered an occult poet, too.

If a hand is sometimes just a hand, I say we all give Eric a big hand.

Fine word-smithing indeed! Good mind medicine.

Thank you Inda, Teo and everyone!
And a special thank you to Margherita whose words grace the Epigraph with their beauty.

"You and me,
We are instruments
Played
By the Universe,
Which delights
In eliciting tunes
Of Sublime beauty,
Reverberating
Through our hearts,
In a constant
Act of creation...
Out of Nothing."

Margherita Rueger

She made the book complete.

Love,
Eric

The Zen of Maroon


There is no maroon...

Only thoughts that are
steeped in the wine
of color.

Until the moment offers the
blue of its expression.

And then...there is no blue.

Only the cobalt nature of
the thinker.

Eric P.McCarty

Thank you from my heart dear Eric for appreciating my tiny contribution!

It is a big honor for me!

I wish this book the attention of the world, because it is simply outstandingly beautiful. There is no possible comparison, you are very special.

Loving you,
Margherita
