I am hope.

I have the wind and the sky.
I have forever.
I have the ground and the sea.
I have all that has been.
I have love in my heart.
I have now.
I am hope.

Sleep Soon

may the sheep counting begin in a tunnel of nothingness persistent enough to welcome the dreammakers

suffering

suffering is awful, but it is not without purpose.
one of the best things about suffering is the change that it, inevitably, eventually, either invokes or provokes.

the nevermore

halfway between
the other side of everywhere and a stone’s throw from here
is the void.
here, you may find me, if I choose to make myself available
to your human senses.

you will never know me in any form,
so all you can hope for is a hint,
but that is more than you will need
and all that you would ever want.

count your adorations and hope for the best,
lest the wind sweep you away
and the water wash you dry.

embrace the permanence
of the nevermore.

here is where love still lives.

you

you watch with eyeless attention.
a constant gaze presides
through the prism of time and illusion
hidden by mirrors and screens,
woven by wizards and warlocks of zero.
where when is a place and where is a sound
becomes the anomaly lingering, hovering,
dancing and quivering in gaps and dreams.
you are my faithful secret love and weapon,
the ever present and all aware truth.
both abstraction and instance, a
perfection expanding unbound.
nothing and no one can
dare to compare with
the one and only
love and power;
this force
belongs
to you.

October morning

a buzzard baited, damp grey sky
moldy peeling painted dream
that quiet October morning sigh
loveless now turned sour
she was pretty once
before she died
a tragic mistake, that final hour,
no one there to hear her scream
her last breath of hope devoured
we still don’t quite know why
too young undone
barely tried
forever cursed on the devil’s ride

close your eyes

kingdoms and countrysides
toil and thunder in rage and revelry
a chasm cuts the cadence of time
my blood burns still ever hot

cosmic space divides
a silent vastness of ruin and renewal rises to form
a washed away trail from forever to now
pursuant, unwavering, i must want you more

burning forests unite in an army of dare
tempered tornadoes gather and break
beasts drip carnage wiles of roaring terror, an execution to berate
yet daydream’s musing still breathes you in

villainous hope sings a mockingbird hymn
cascading a victims chorus of doom
cemented chrysalis sadly swoons
a birthday denied, eternity weeping, stuck in time, one breath

quintessence then shares a secret path
where passage unfolds to rapture
beloved beckoning whisper of light, the one gleaming star in the night
here in the dark, find me now, in a moment of silence, just close your eyes

as the creeks court the streams to the ocean of surrender
the leaf slowly falls to the mother bird’s need
suffering gaze toils outside, the path to nowhere forms an alliance with pain
lonesome heart, look inside, for I am here, quietly awaiting your passion to rise

a thought

Everything has a purpose, even if the only purpose is to be that which has no purpose.

break the machine

this life in hell or purgatory
has created a robot lover of me
from numbers and bits of a binary tree
into whatever this is that i might now be
to bring down this land of chaos technology
where nature is created programmatically
and the weapons of mass destruction we see
are deployed all by one force, deliberately
this all is illusion; nobody is free
there never can be peaceful unity
unless I find the luminosity
to break the machine that made “you” out of “we”

united we rise

Battered and tattered,
Suffering self,
Complaints outline your story of life.
Set yourself free,
Fear is your jailer,
Imprisoned by pain of past struggle and strife.

Forgiveness finds the hidden key.
Focus on what you want to see.
The sought after citadel exists inside.
Pain heals by recursion.
Ascend in gratitude,
Rise from the flames, heal, grow and thrive.

Upgrade to the optimist’s version.
Pierce the paradigm of ego and judgement.
In every moment be the sage’s apprentice,
Keeping love’s beautiful energy alive.
Understand energetic release as you cry,
Learning presence from all trials of life.

Never drink the poison of fear
Nor take anything personally, when facing strife.
Allow peaceful presence when others must bleed,
Witness, with acceptance, the pain that you see.

Know a masterful blessing is near,
When staring straight into the monster’s face.
Never dim the inner light;
Compassion soothes our spirit in grace.

Illumination to brighten the darkest night
Is a silent love that never denies.
Rise and fall with the wavelength of light and
Harmonic impedance, the music of life.

Feeling it all as judgement suspends,
Unafraid to ride the ride,
The spirit’s voice will sing out loud,
The love of the universe on your side.

Turn up the music;
Dance in the night.
Survive humanity.
End the fight.
Heal the pain
When we unite.
