The rhythm of the cosmos
Is a waltz
In three steps
Create
Sustain
Decay
A movement
To which all of life
And so art conforms
From literature
With it's beginning
Middle
End
To the great civilizations of the Earth
That rise
Hold
Fall
Just as chest draw breath
As she sleeps
Or the theologians speak
Of their holy trinity
The metaphysical systems of old Indus Valley
Create
Sustain
Decay
Making way for the new notes
We play
As the old fade
Into silence
One step
Two step
Three
Come and dance with me
As the stars inhale
And hold their breath
As we find our feet gracefully
And move in the moment we have
One step
Two step
...

Find the flow
Accept
Let go
Let the music get inside you
Take control
And the cares of the world
On a roll
Down and out
Forgotten
Forbidden
Hidden from the conscious mind
A state divine and silent
As the body twists
In bliss and peace
And smiles wreath the faces
Of the maelstrom
Clattering beats
Descending from the bass bins
No beginning
And no ending
In the ever present now

As I lay me down to sleep
I pray the Lord my soul to take
Another morning gently weep
The price I pay when I awake

I sit in stillness
Listening
The slow beat of my heart
Tuning in to the spectrum
Where intuition speaks
For the first time in weeks
I hear her
With that infinite wisdom
She delivers in silence
Be patient
Be quiet
Be alive and be present
The best is right now
Enjoy it
What the future holds
Is for future you to behold
So let yourself enjoy it when you get there
Don’t mind me
When I get a little ahead of myself
Time is infinite
When you know how to stop it
Catch a breath in the eternal moment
There is no need to hurry
Or say anything at all
Everything in its right place

They say the only certainties in life
Are death and taxes
I say the only certainty is change
The vehicle by which
The old becomes new again
The only thing that prevents
The same day being every day
Sometimes we fear change
As we fear death
The ultimate change
Yet how easily we sleep at night
Our daily preparation for the Long One
And every morning we wake up again
What is change but a movement
A flow
The same way energy traverses the Universe
A dance with many steps
Left, right, and left again
Move to the rhythm
Keep time to the sound
Change brings new life
New places to explore
These paths we haven’t walked before
Shifting patterns
Coalescing and transforming
Every one breathtaking
In it’s own right
We seek out new ways to speak
Without speaking
In a moment looking up at the same stars
Knowing that even though they are so far away
Their light still reaches us
Part of it enters us
Right through the windows to the soul
And bounces on the retina
At rest after millennia
In a place made of the same stuff that it is
Stardust to stardust
Light to the soul

Suspended in time they lie
Beholden to memory
Stealing moments from the present
These little points in the minds eye
Of pasts and futures not
Like painting a picture of the girl of your dreams
Only to realise you've met her before
And it wasn't to be
These little shifts in the make up of the cosmos
Echoes of the butterfly effect
Many poets who have come before I
Have spoken of the road less travelled by
That very essence of a point
Where everything changes
Almost imperceptibly
Until looking back you see the hurricane

Been writing haiku
Much better than this one though
This isn't that good

I sometimes feel like I
Have taken too big a slice of pie
Like I
Am too small to fulfill my obligations
I
Have bitten off much more than I can chew
I’ll say to you
It frightens me sometimes
In those times beyond the hour of sleep
I sleepless weep
And creep without the lights on
So as not to wake the neighbors
Or the cats in the backyard
Startled by the stirring
So early in the morning
So as not to really be morning
Yet mourning still
Too small to fulfill my obligations
My cobblers making boots to big for me to fill
I fear it still
And try not to think about things too much
At such a time as this
As peace shall surely escape me
How many lives will fit in one
How big a cast can a one man show perform as
Perhaps it was better to pick one thing and stick with it
One small thing
That just one man can do
Just the right size to fulfill his obligations
But the die is cast
The pie from crust is taken
And I’m left shaking at the magnitude
And scared they’ve got the wrong man for the job
It scares me
The fear stares at me and I stare back
Who has my back in this battle of wills
When he has all the ills of Hell
And self-deception
Delusions of Grandeur in the DSM
No no, it can’t be that
I can’t do that
Those boots are huge
And who am I
But a man, I cry
Too small to fulfill my obligations

Where you going to run to
When you find out that God hates you
And everything you’ve learned
Has been turned around in front of you
And written down
Like a manual to fail by
To try to no avail
What use are eyes
To the sighlessness
Of this hapless narcissist
No need for shining eyes of his
Twisted so deep inside himself
He cannot see the sky
What use are ears
When noone speaks to him
Nor tongue that he may speak
He’d scream
And be lost in the din of the endless scrolling dashboard
Forgotten in a heartbeat
As his heartbeat soon forgotten
A life ill gotten
And rotten to high heaven
Until he cries out and rolls over
And soon forgets his dream

I feel the cold air
As I prepare
To face my final wilderness
The wildness inside of us
Conspires endless
To bring us to our knees
I seek the trees
To hold me close
To eat my sins
Protect me from the whims
Of this bleak humanity
Inside of me
And all around me
A festering wound
That will **** its bearer
Ever nearer to those green fields
The earth wields its mighty clubs
And drubs the battered sky
Scattered high the white clouds flee
And me?
I lie below
Swallowed whole
Held by the warm embrace of roots and burrows
Rows and furrows
Scored deep in the earth's surface
Where the life below draws me in
And transmits me back into the stars
