Invocation
I love OD'ing on sunlight when I wake up
grab some OJ and go lay in the soft grass, and tell the birds to carry on
their light conversations and noisy chitchat above my closed eyes
open head - delve into me
the grass probably itches if I pay attention, but who cares
I can't restrain my limbs any longer
no more hanging in limbo with excuse of pain and no gain
I can't remember why I'm naked but
I always feel naked around you
I've always been naked under these clothes

My brain is dashing ahead, though I stop and gaze inward and upward
The trees could be mocking me, but they're probably just as happy to be themselves as I am
so I follow suit and reach up to ask for mutual attraction from the sky
and we start a new day
time to function
back to the grind
my gears shift and the grey leaks back into my veins
time to function
(but once you've overdosed on daylight, you're never the same)
song in my head and a bounce in my step
you can't bring me down today
You can’t recognize me
You don’t know how I look,
How I live,
Or how I breath

You can’t feel me
You don’t know how I cry,
How I laugh,
Or how I fear

You can’t realize me
You don’t know how I walk,
How I sit,
Or how I sleep

You can’t sense me
You don’t know how I touch,
How I listen,
Or how I speak

You can’t see me
You can’t shape me
You can’t save me
You can’t **** me

You can only see me
When you always,
And forever,
Love me....

I am.

Rising up -- Moving

This experience is Propelling me

Freeing me

I become weightless in it's magnificence

I am.

Accepting and Revealing

I become the knowledge that I have striven to feel

Reassurance cleanses my being

This certainty my own oblivion

Capturing this nurturing essence, I feel a love that only my mother could of known...

Inside me.

I am.

Pure and at home

Awake but somehow dreaming

Lost within a state of whole functionality

And never before now have I been so alone.

I am.

Free -- In this moment.
You know that feeling? When you wake up and before the thoughts of how your day will begin can creep into your mind there is just this infinite silence of clarity?

Sitting quietly amongst the noise I travel on the horseless steel caravan
  
Seeds of guilt are planted and they cultivate restlessly in my mind...
  
Burning ignorance
  
Even as I scribe it plagues me!
  
My own anarchist desires as unique as an army lemmings  
"How original..."
  
My tongue is made of lead and my saliva mercury bullets
  
Unable or perhaps just unwilling to shut my yammering noise box, it spews relentless, babbling idiocy into my life's endeavours...
  
Acting as a veil it blinds me to reason
  
...While the caravan moves on there is a stench that lingers
  
It reeks of week old **** and staggers like a sightless drunk; it's almost pitiful... If it were not so pathetic!
  
Scanning the horizon my ever watchful eyes peruse the faceless sea for our fearless leader but with the subtly of a weak minded fool he effortlessly avoids my gaze
  
(Surely he too is without answers...)
  
...The droning hum of the noise becomes deafening and it hisses like a television out of focus...
  
In my crackling static camouflage, waiting for uncertainty, I will vanish.
  
A subway shadow chasing the midnight train

A solemn traveler without a name
