Who am I? Why am I here? How do I grow? Where do the words that I utter spring from? How do my actions unfold to take flight? What are the roots of my habits both desired and not desired? When did my character become undesirably ripe? As defined by Another? Piously pompous extruding expectations We both wagged the tail of judgment from our respective roles. Each casting the wands of incantations, illusions, and lies! One to change the controlling illusion Another to maintain it's web and power. It was handed down from the very first mothers It was handed down from the very first fathers It was set into motion from the very first breath of the very first lie. It created the very first shadow of darkness that fell upon Truth. Tainted, "It" fell from realms of Light, the realms of Love and Joy. "It" tumbled and rolled down the family Tree Branch by branch, twig by twig, and leaf by leaf Deeper into the darkness, grief, sadness and pain. We were taught to ignore the dragon of dysfunction Lying among the branches of our human family tree. As "It" grew and grew, and grew. "It" matured and gave birth to expanding prodigies Who fained deeds of compassion, fained loyalties, Fained emotions, and fained love To twist and to alter reality, Aimed toward total power,  riches, and total control. Using the swords of Expectations, Judgments, half truths and lies, they waged war! With their army of Every wolf in sheep's clothing Every entitled the fair-haired child Every hero - rescuer Every "I am the victim" Every fearful guilt burdened peacemaker, Every misunderstood black sheep, And all the unaware lost lambs. The cycle of dysfunction turns As a companion within the wheel of time. We are told to never speak of It and deny It's existence. This is the power that feeds It as It expands. And we find ourselves beyond the ability to contain "It." One day our eyes open to awareness We come face-to-face with "The Choice." Do we go back to sleep? Or do we get up? And if we stand up, what is next? When we see our unveiled past, will we fear and hide? Or arise as a seeking warrior of Light? If we choose the Light will Love begin to arise from the darkness Will Love transform "It" to find It's-self Immortal & Eternal? Give me understanding of Love!! With Understanding I will seek!! Standing between the windows of time past, present, and future With the root of addictive desire, laid upon the alter Banished! Gone!! Released!! Will the Darkness  release "It" from the depths of grief, sadness and pain? Without a word "It" became a He And He draped the blanket of courage over His shoulders with the Light of hope in His eyes. Refusing to never give up He dawned His Innate strengths Refusing dire circumstances Letting go of confusion, ignorance, vises, grief, blame, and all ill desire He stepped straight and firmly into the Light which expands! He stood with joy in the Light and looked back As "It" became a She And She draped the blanket of courage over Her shoulders with the Light of hope in Her eyes Refusing to never give up She dawned Her Innate strengths Refusing dire circumstances Letting go of confusion, ignorance, vise, grief, blame, and all ill desire She stepped straight and firmly into the Light which expands! The Light embraced Her and embraced Him They stood together seeking understanding Their hearts opened Each to sing their own song of joy, of love, of peace Together in harmony Dancing  in the Light as One. So with courage, do my actions unfold to take flight! With joyful Love the words uttered within my heart sprang! How, I do grow! I am fully here, awake! I know who am I, really! Because  in silence I sat upon the earth As He sat upon the Earth As She sat upon the Earth Looking toward the heavens She female and He male Focused in silence, they taught me how to breathe. Now throughout the generations of Time We began to breathe as One Together in Love, in Peace and in Unity. Reaching and holding each other Beyond and through the Wheel of Time.

Beyond the Wheel of Time
Who am I? Why am I here? How do I grow? Where do the words that I utter spring from? How do my actions unfold to take flight? What are the roots of my habits both desired and not desired? When did my character become undesirably ripe? As defined by Another? Piously pompous extruding expectations We both wagged the tail of judgment from our respective roles. Each casting the wands of incantations, illusions, and lies! One to change the controlling illusion Another to maintain it's web and power.

The questions of our life stirs each of us to some kind of action. The actions we each choose are unique to our own personal life path. We each bring to our personal path ofseeking - our personal understanding about truth, our beliefs, acculturation, and family patterns. Of which culminate into our strengths and weaknesses. By choosing understanding in the challenges of life, we are armed to step into a path of increased love, forgiveness, heightened spiritual growth, increased awareness and higher consciousness and love. If we choose the path of ego defences we continue the dysfunction and the further weakening of our humanity, families, selves, hearts and spirits. This poem is about becoming aware of this process and the choice we each have.
