Some Things Need To Be Believed To Be Seen
Wherever you go, Go with all your heart. Whenever you start, Don’t stop, just flow. Whenever you choose, Choose being kind. Whenever you mind, Don’t judge, wear their shoes. Whenever you do good, Good things will come. Whatever you think you become. Don’t be ignorant; be understood Whenever you disdain, Disdain becomes your tomb. Whenever you want to bloom, Don’t be thunder; be rain Whenever you get wronged, Wrongness should be forgotten. Whenever you feel rotten, Don’t remember; it’s prolonged. Whenever you judge, Judge yourself not others. Whenever you’re with brothers, Don’t hold contempt nor a grudge. Whenever you are true, Truth will set you free. Whenever you can be, Don’t be someone else, be you.

Life Lessons
The world is a symphony, whose instruments need to be tuned. If we ever want to mend its wound, we need to learn some sympathy.

The World Is A Symphony
And there he sat transfixed with his head cocked to the side pressed against his tense shoulder His tight chin cringed upward shrieking for relief while his gray mane draped in the drool draining from his dead lips curled into the wrinkles of his withered face His obtruding veins Splintered his fragile skin Into fractured slivers Like splitting sheets of ice On a warming winter river Each flake shriveled As the blood receded Fading each pastel color Into shades of grey His bushy eyebrows protruded over those murky, marbled eyes with pupils like creamy, black clouds lingering faintly amidst a midnight blue sky But as he sat Dead paralyzed In an eternal lullaby He still looked alive

Have you ever stopped abruptly, When two parts of your mind were deliberating, And thought to yourself bluntly: “Who is the me that is listening to this contemplating?” You’ll realize that this me of you is the true you, you see. It does not have a voice but is the silent observer. Like watching tv, it’s your spectator me, Your inner true self, your life preserver. This spectator me cannot think or talk; It just… is. It is the now. It is the here. It’s the timeless clock that does not tick or tock. It’s you. The real you. The almighty seer.

Spectator Me
You are not the pen; you are the ink. You are not your thoughts; you do not think. The mind might be perpetual violence, But you are the tranquil silence. You are the watcher, you are not the mind. You are the stillness; you await behind. The possessing entity has you mistaken, But become aware and you’ll awaken.

The Watcher
I am Jekyll; I am Hyde The Yin and Yang constantly collide I follow the light; I live in the dark My silhouette is never stark I want everything; I need nothing Honest as a mirror but constantly bluffing I am the whole and the hole I am the wretched beautiful human soul

Duality
How we marvel at possessions, think they make the best impressions; For with material things we establish a close rapport. Can’t you see we are infected by this false truth we’ve injected Into the minds we’ve neglected, directed by commercial lore. “These things will make you happy,” says the preacher of commercial lore, Only this and nothing more. There are nights we sit there spying, through our computer screens buying Bourbon, books, and onyx watches, razor blades and house décor, Brilliant scarfs in bright vermilion, cowboy boots coated reptilian, Stroll through any mall pavilion, civilians shop in every store. Like clockwork we comeback again, millions spent in every store; We always want something more. Like in monopoly we aspire, the best estates to acquire, So other players can look in envy at our great high score. With the money we’ve been savin’, we want a home in New Haven, So we sought a market Maven, craving a house on the shore, A vintage house with wooden dock sitting calmly on the shore. Can we find one that’s worth more? Queerly we lust for assets, keep on buying have no regrets. Are we dumb or blind or numb to keep doing what we abhor? Statues shackled to cubicles, doped up on pharmaceuticals ****** fingers raw cuticles, we’re bulls for the matador. He dances us round in circles, pulls the sword the matador Is the one we all fall for. But the Maven respectfully will encourage us helpfully, “Follow your path of senseless sorrow, leave your qualms at the door, Carry on with inhibition, keep working for that commission, Please don’t mind your intuition, fruition comes from spending more.” But like layered lies there’s a pea of truth on the mattress floor; A princess would wake up sore. We must move past our gluttony, and join the better company Of men meek in spirit who act humbly like the days of yore. Realize that joy stems from passion, not this sorry thing called fashion; Embrace others with compassion to truly make our hearts soar; And our souls from out the shadows can truly begin to soar. Let’s be greedy – nevermore.

Sometimes the words drop from fingertips, climbing over each other like playful children. Sometimes the words flow quietly, gently, like soft waters in a whispering pond. Sometimes the words burst out, roaring like mighty thunder, sparking the sky like brilliant lightening. Sometimes the words spill out, like scalding lava, scorching and setting aflame all in their wake. Sometimes the words latch on with fangs, suckling the life force from its intended victim. Sometimes the words infuse thought and passion into the bloodstream, like a ***** ********* injecting euphoric bliss. Sometimes the words sit back, silently observing waiting, patiently, for the need to birth the cries of the heavy heart releasing an ocean of emotion… and drowning the world. -by Mercurychyld Copyright 16 Oct. 2015 Friday
