Leaning against the rough bark of a mangrove Piercing sunlight grinding into the tender layers of my eyelids For sleep I would walk miles to darkness Headed down a rabbit hole journey Stars twinkling above the gazing set of my road weary eyes A sea of diamonds lighting my way home Pulsing vibrations connect me to the heart of the great mother Her eternal intensity feeding our spirit An ever spark of life Omitted by a cosmic lotus bud Constantly blooming bright and full Reflecting our force of will in each heavy, buzzing cell I want to be in the core, know it all Not enough room inside this compact skull Must expand, must evolve , escaping the tight confines of physical experience My minds eye all encompassing in terrifying capacity Engorge. Saturated with the very idea of light Too theoretically complex to keep a hold of Sifting and drifting through corporeal fingertips, grasping Wandering stardust vagabonds, becoming unattainable Creating instead tiny flames inside my head
