Sun glistening off the tropical bay.
White cotton ***** float by reflecting Suns rays.
Surf down below melodically soothing the way.
Vistas of ocean from the left to the right,
spotted with green jewels enhancing the sight.
Sea birds floating serenely they glide, making me wish I could
be by their side.
Gentle tropical breezes waft by surrounding and soothing the soul.
Tropical smoothies, frozen delights, smooth out and mellow the ethereal sights.
Sweet Acacia filling the senses with a sweet fragrant glow.
Sunshine, golden enthrall mellows its hues when meeting the ocean a
tropical show. Orange, red, pink explode in the sky. The sun slowly sliding away seemingly steaming on down.
First stars make themselves known, peaking on through till the whole sky blazes with a Milky Way hue.
Evening turns into night and things settle down when the surfs constant hum lulls us all off to dreams..

We see very little.
Remove the

Break the

Look beyond
what you’ve

There is
so much
more

Think hard
and
you’ll see
what’s beyond
the veil.
Much to
learn.
Much to

We are but vessels of the creator, within, the culmination.
The culmination of the creators experiment. How we look, what color, what ***, what nationality, irrelevant. What we produce is what matters, what we bring to the table. Has the creator produce genius, or madness? What's imprinted into the fabric of spacetime is forever? How will the ledger balance at the end of things? Has the creator been successful or an utter failure? How many times has it all been run before? The puppets will never know.

Manipulated,

Vibration.
Energy.
Energy,
rippling
throughout.
Creation
vibrates­.
Time
immemorial.
Universal.
Eternal,
aether
bound.
Connected
in­tersection.
Torquing,
twisting
bubbling
up.
Knots of
creation.
Energy
formatted.
Life
derived.
Energy,
matter
spinn­ing
together.
Dance of
creation.
One
in the
same.
Eddies
of life
reabsorbed.
Never
dies.
Vibrations
just the
same.
Back

aether,
forevermore!

Music
of the
void.
Sounds
emanating
from the
ether.
Celestial
vibrations.
Vibrating,
uniting.
Uniting
everything,
everywhere.
All connected.
Immersed.
All immersed

waters.
Infinite ocean
of sound,
vibrations,

Music

Uniting music
vibrates

Uniting all.
Available
to all.
Available

listen.
Soothing
the beast.
Easing the
pain.
Listen!

I saw
a women
in a
video.
She was
old
walking slowly.
The Video
was seventy
years old.
It was made
in Berlin
after the war.
Smashed buildings
everywhere,
smashed
lives too.
Where she
was headed,
I had no
idea.
But that
moment
for her,
was just
as focused
as this
moment for
me
as I’m typing
these
words.
How fleeting
it all be.

Perception.
View.
Belief.
Developed,
evolved on
this little
rock.
Small view
local perception.
Rhetoric.
Views local,
limited.
Finite.
Finite
infinitesimal
knowledge
formulatio­n
held high.
Held high
as universal
truth.
Truth
shackled by
ignorance
lack of
understanding.
Lack of
knowledge.
Terrarium
creatures
prancing around
spouting nonsense
as truth,
universal truth.
Terrarium
devoid of
understanding,
devoid of
truth.
Left to
its own
devices.

Some say
we live
in a
virtual world.
A matrix.
Our
existence,
digital.
What does
that mean?
We’re not
real?
We’re
not
alive?
I think
therefore
I’m not?
How real
is real?
If virtual
here,
potentially
virtual
anywhere?
If virtual,
virtual
forever?
Life
after death?
Digital rebirth
elsewhere?
Free will
a digital
trick,
a mirage.
Programed?
It’s all
programed?
Everything is
fixed.
Searching,
searching for
the meaning of
existence.
Possibly
no meaning
at all!
John Prophet Mar 2023
Virtual place.
Existence.
Universal
base state.
Hidden
place.
Deep
inside.
Residing
mist bound.
Quantum
realm,
where
nothing’s
real.
Virtual
state of
being,
mind.
Mental
state.
Where
possibilities,
probabilities,­
uncertainty
reside.
Reality,
phasing
in and
out.
Existing.
Parallel.
Here, then
there.
Each.
Just as
real.
Yet,
nothing
is as it
seems.

Virus.
Tech

virus.
Insidious

Beaming

Captive
minds,
infected.
Oblivious!
Force feed

Mind control

scale.
Nefarious

Cleave,

Young

Power to

Virus

Minds

Mindless

Zombies.
Following

Misty visions.
Visions
of what
might
have been.
Foggy horizons,
futures
that will
never be.
Visions
of people
that might
have been,
that I’ll
never meet.
Places that
I’ll never see.
Potentiality
that never was!
Decisions made
paths traversed
that never were.
In a quantum
haze we live.
Potential vibrates
all around.
Alternate worlds
never to be
explored.
In my dreams
I’ve seen a
few.
All the people
I never knew.
I wonder where
I’d be today
if I chose
to go a
different way.

Vivid red barn juxtaposed against a green pumpkin field.
Cloudless sky with bright sun hurt my eyes.
Starkness of the scene burnt into my mind.
Beautiful!
Time passes.
Sun lowers in the sky with fat orange orbs all around.
Bright reds, yellows and orange ornate the trees.
Hayride swinging through.
Artist easel in the field.
A painting just waiting to be alive.
Sun lowers still.
Winter, snow deep, cold white drifting toward the barn, glistening.
Snow Hare tracks everywhere. Black crows in the sky warning out their calls.
Mud season, sun moves higher in the sky banishing the white until next year.
Sun, still on the move.
New baby green in the field reappears.
Cycle continues year after year

Voices.
All voices.

Reverberating­

Endless
