There is a cumulus cloud
which ascended
thousands of miles high
into
the blue blue skies
the cloud
rolled in
riding the trade winds
following
the half cut moon.

As this cloud traveled
along those winds
covering
the stars and blackened sky
every human consciousness
on
the planet
was combined
in
the voices and desires
of
all mankind.

At first
the clamor was too much to bear
I
was frozen there
my head in the clouds
but
as the winds
blew
that cloud
across everywhere
we
became
one
silent mind
and
the celestial songs began to sing
and
in our hearts
peace
was finally found to begin.

plant a seed
embryonic beauty

a seed with heart
sown with compassion

a seed with promise
born on winds of change

a seed with substance
rooted in the soil of foundation

a seed with the flow of life
thirsty for the waters of acceptance

a seed with boundless vision
reaching for synthesizing illumination

allow the energy of expansion and transformation
allow that seed to germinate and pollinate the garden of existence

Alone
she stands on
Barren waste land
Past choices
directions
Funnel around and around
A hurricane migraine

Frozen in time
Lost in her mind
Struggling
Smothering
Drowning her out
Fading away

Thunder and lightning
Explode over head
Scorching the ground
Deafening sounds
Snap her alive
