Desire to oppose desire
For that is your wish

Let life desire death
And so death desires to live

Hear sound before it is here
And lay present before it is heard

For that is where I have lived
And forever may I live

Once known, not known
Becomes unknown

State of bliss
Half rising
Sleepy eyes
And mind half wiser

Things I never knew
But I thought I could do
finding
A secret state
Behind the blinds of lighting

Philosophical hesitation
In preparation of love
To feel, receive and give without trust

No one knew that we could be like this
See like this, or even grieve like this

But the things we come across,
We can’t fight,
Give it our all
Moving towards the light

One day, you’ll see...it will be alright.

And so the foolish jeweller played
With rocks, minerals
Dirt that made
Precious gems
Time forged:

For ears to listen
For fingers to feel
For necks to hang above our hearts

For engaging a promise
For a gift
Or memory

Cut, processed
And boxed for a fee

True gems
Come from within
A soul mined deeply
A journey begins

If you're reading this
I've finally found you
If you understand
We are fated
For poetry is the language of lovers

Desolate lands are our souls
Filled with cracks and crumbling
The drought has hit us all

Replenish our lands
With life and love
Making us whole, once more

I'd woken up over 10,000 times
And had never been truly awake
The same thoughts and motives
Now shifted my focus,
To differences that I could make.

Now grateful for this gift of life
And what it is to see
Mindfulness
And further thus,
Making us all we can be.
