Balanced am I upon a mountaintop
one leg cocked skyward

poised thru tethering to the gravity
of constellations woven into fate
mine energies cohabitate

Whilst glued to grinding
neath the bound surrounding
free to nearly being in conspiring
with the flow of time inside
my flailing soul
whose spiritual coalescence

belies mine essence,

blind
in the rivers
of ether
deliriously breaking
into tangents, ripple-spake
by words of power

circumstantially; expanse
condensed in resplendence;
by the intraterrestrial churn
erupted in lattice breath

whose breadth breaks,
ne’er brakes, a hatch-ed egg
this intimate visceral expositional
relay race, disgraced
in commercial 
pragmatic proximity


We
whose manifest, relegated,
dissipates our freedom

unto they who
reel in the dark
alert and ever dredged in
drudgery; disseminated
unto Us who are
fettered to leaving

There
shall, then, it coagulate

beyond bright shining Sunlight
molding in the wrought expanse

of pools running deep into streams
of eye-lit closure intermingling
in the universal anima, where light refracts
to form a mirror

Emboldened is collective perspective
Nigh mind left blind
couldst thy finding unwind thine

intertwining whence dispensed;

betrayed and evanescent
foolishly you went, alone,
into the extraneous
dry, cold 
dark

so light cuts chasms
through the third dimension
rending obsolete your sole intention
we are your very essence
learn this lesson

Storm clouds tarry in the air
the bleakly casted shadows speckle,
dancing across the muted earth
a sheet of sleep bestowing peace
in stillness, stowed away 
is yesterday


Teeming, leagues above the atmosphere,
in auras gilt by passing rays of starlight,
hover minds detached from interplay of 
toiling ant-like beings, infinitesimal 
they seem, from here
in heaven


They who pass timeless moments
skipping stones across the cosmos
sending waves worlds over
just to see the way eternity might
crumple between fingertips
when hearts burst
creating galaxies in their wakes


a world of magic;
eyes alight with splendor 
share a glimpse of reverie
a memory of fantasy that’s lost within a dream
of towering trees and lushest greens,
of homeliness and softest bliss,


to reminisce of a place
so familiar, yet erased
a surest sense of true belonging
tucked away within a pocket
in the corner of the soul


reaching 
for the stars
to fall into the abyss
to be consumed
or to subsist
on traversing that space
of emptiness
to find a place where we exist
no more, amiss
in the vertex betwixt

Bygone years, I’ve lingered, squandered
searching for a sense of self, I’ve wandered
pacing back and forth, no realization
for the time that’s racing by, just tail chasing

I’ve wondered of so many things
the gravity in my heart, so crippling
tearing me apart as I’m still falling
I’ve faced hidden, hellish demons
and my brain, it’s crawling

I wonder if I’m worthless  
shrouded in abysmal night
I haven’t any hope
but I have done away with fright

I have a light of faith
I trust that I will be alright
At times it dims
At times it’s bright  

I’ve left a world behind
as not to be of any mind
so I could find my eyes would shine
sparkling with the endless presence of stars
the vastness and immensity of space
of time beyond a time or place

My heart, it aches
with longing
somehow tied to things of beauty
somehow my love of life
is causing me to feel empty

I am searching for a place where I belong
I am aching to deny myself my need to feel strong
I know that I must carry on
I know  

But I long to be embraced
To be seen
To be known
To be loved

Naked.

God is a face with no name; 
a whisper in the breeze; 
the hum of insects in a forest 
aglow with the first rays 
of the soft light of dawn. 

God is the vibration 
of everything as one. 
The emotion of a heart 
awake but breaking, 
choosing instead 
to carry on. 

God is the transcendence of hope, 
when faith is another day; 
the present moment fleeting; 
making the most of the lives we have 
before they slip so fragilely 
through our fingers. 

Yet, in this swelling of divinity, 
we do not cling… 
We cherish but let go, 
because we know 
that we must grow, 
thereto bestow 
our pearls of wisdom 
onto the future 
living in our dreams. 

We are aflame with inexhaustible spirit. 
We are chock-full of life and love 
and we owe it all to the immensity of being. 

How full we’ve all felt. 
How we’ve striven 
to leave ourselves empty, 
not knowing what it means 
to long for life in our wizening. 

We only want to be whole. 
God is forgetting, and forgiving 
ourselves for what we lack, 
and what we are or what we aren’t. 

God is the intangible spirit 
of knowing we are whole 
in our very melting. 

That through the coursing, 
and the melding 
of ever present energies, 
we belong to something greater 
than ourselves. 

God is ALL. 
God is One. 
God is none, 
for we are he are thee. 
We’ve split ourselves to many. 
To let life be lived aplenty. 

So dream, 
my dear past, dream. 
Soon you shall see. 
Soon you shall 
remember me. 

Maddening, I know. 
Yet, with every step, 
we manifest.
With every step we grow.
