My heart's nocturne often overtakes me: slow, soft and brimming with soul
It drives at a pace, that in my mind's eye, is a dizzying dance that I've rehearsed every night since I recognized its stirring

With each beat is every sentiment, every syllable that would seem hollow without the accompanying score

One moment I am as light on my feet as a golden feather floating down from an angel's wing

In my solitude, I am filled with infinity

My being is home to an ecosystem that schools me daily to listen, to feed, to grow into my humanity

Lessons such as these have filtered through the years and minds of many
Not to be wasted on those who deny their own souls existence

Rising with the morning sun,

I beam at the brick and iron kingdom outside my door

Crystalline eyes reflect the spectrum of my spirit

Wondering miraculously at the natural projections

On the street,

The wind blows me back and forth in an easy waltz

1-2-3, 1-2-3, 1-2-3,

Leading me on my way

Two eyes close and another opens
Yet darkness is all that can be seen
This new found place
This sacred space
Rests in the balance between
Spirit and Flesh
Mind and Matter

Gently succumbing to an upward flow
Focus is guided by a golden hand
Until it hits its mark and the wheels begin to spin

Colors, colors, colors, colors spin
Dancing between glows of light
Muffled whispers of thoughts pass by
As spectators to this other worldly show

Before too long
It is time to go back
Into the darkness of the day

With one eye closed and two eyes open
The world you see is now bright
You’ve brought the essence here with you
You are, yourself, the light

I'm setting out on the good road
Don't know where it's going
The sages from across the years
Conditioned me not to fret
For a warrior never knows
What will happen next

I'm following the good road
With a fighting spirit
Powered by a needless compass
Driving straight into my chest
To the glowing space
Tucked behind my center left ribs

The good road runs through me
Right to the strumming strings
That bring light to my eyes
And color to my cheek

I'm out on the good road
It's paved with miraculous shifts
Illuminated under a boundless sun
That warms everyone I meet

I'll be traveling the good road a while
Don't know where it's going
I've got to keep moving on
Then I'll make it there

Silence is deafening
Waking from a cacophony of sounds much like "A Day in the Life"
Only to find that silence is greater than any voluminous discord imagined
Feeling like a superhuman, the world is now illuminated
With choirs of percolating atoms spinning
Pure harmonious energy that goes under the human threshold

Silence is actualizing
Awakening to the potentialities and nuances lost in the clutter of prepositions and pronouns
Experiencing how momentous each rise and fall of breath erupts to revitalize the whole world
Perceptions externalized and internalized merge as one truth
Tangibly existing as a universe within a boundless wave of sensations

Silence is beautiful
Silence is breathtaking
Silence is humble
Silence is abundant

Silence is the world
Silence is the body
Silence is the mind
Silence is the soul

Silent I am

Faintly, a heart beats
Within the corpse of man
A tiny blue generator
Powered by divine Duracell's

Without wings, feet cease to leave the ground
Frozen cold in parallel structure
Itching for a prayer to escape to
And a cause to fight for

Blue sky, blue mind
Floating in a conscious blue stream
Blue heart, blue hands
Lost in an endless living dream

Absolution in your embrace
I bring you all that I am.
The sleepless nights of my past
suddenly become weightless.
The uncharted sea of the future
appears dauntless.
For I know I have you.

I can give myself to you wholly
because I am whole.
I am the stars up above and
the deepest depths below.
I am a universe within the world we share.

Drawn towards you like the opposite end of a magnet
I am the whole half of you.
