south africa life is a song and we are the words / - i am, that i am. abracadabra.
Through the bars he saw stars Heaven was a centimetre away Fingers curled around metal as his soul poured like water from life's jug He saw his essence lifting up into the night sky like a tear in someone else's eye.

Restless is the mind fumbling through unfamiliar spaces How did we get here? How did we end up tumbling in a washing machine? Is this a cleansing? Wherefore art my Ark?

Invasion
Once i thought I knew something and then knew nothing at all Climb the wall or break it fly on wing or fall Somewhere in between I've heard that balance is in tow Something about ducks being neatly in some row Evades me, this enlightenment pervades me does the doubt Essentially there's always something that we do without.

Evasion
This little bird flew to heaven and that little bird flew to hell God was away but the Devil was waiting for a penny in the wishing well Some little birds went to paradise while others simply fell God be scarce and the Devil be willing to play another game of dice.

Some say .. others do. Between saying and doing, lies an ocean of maybe.

I searched for you by daylight and found nothing but snow I called for you by moonlight and was answered by a crow It said 'sssshhhh, be still, now as you tend to your heart.' Where have you been, friend? I promised to walk with you until the day's end but felt your hand slipping... I held on and you let go and now I'm not sure where to go without your footprints in the snow.

Footprints in the snow
curiously examines the corner as she searches for shadows cast against the black abyss of her sleeping mind when the lights come on she hides in the cracks waiting, waiting to awaken from the dreamstate that some call life

so my art teacher said, " draw abstract. dont think about the perfect line. " when i do this in writing things sometimes come undone and the reader does not understand... except for maybe 1. 1 is enough.

1 is enough.
Thoughts have mass. What weighs more? The carrying of a cross, or the thought thereof? Know ye not that ye are Gods? What then, of the temples on either side of your head? Did you forget that you are Divine? That you are the temple of your own God? That you co-create the space you co-inhabit, body and mind? As above so below. The power of a Word. Know naught else, but know Thyself. For thou art made in the image of God. The architect of your reality is you. Speak wisely as you cast your thoughts upon Creation.

Know ye not?
So i spoke and was arrested for my words.. But in the beginning there was only the word so lets arrest God for having spoken. It was Him who spoke the original thought that put this wheel into motion. I am a mere driver of this wheel, as are you. So let's drive this vehicle of life into the sunset and whisper words of wisdom, let it be, let it be.
