This beyond.
Places of twilight eyes.
Travelled on through and still travelling.

Seraphic tones of enlighten ardor.
Colors in dreams paint emotions.
Planetesimal creation from imagination.

I wander in solitude of beautiful unescorted travel.
No longer bound by visions of others.
Apertures consume the light of my creations.

If we are obedient
we will be broken.

When I submit to my calling
as a human being,
if I am true to the ambition
of the puffy spear-shaped cloud,
to the voice of the smooth rock
formed as a heart,
I will stop
stay still
let their messages
sink through the borders of my brain
saturate the surging energy
within.

I will allow myself to be pierced
by her fears of being evicted  
I’ll feel the angst about her futility
before the indifferent landlords.

I will ignore my own heartache
about Uncle Jan’s fanatical raging
and instead
ask him about his son’s cancer
hug him when he breaks down sobbing.

Obedience
to the highest measures of my humanity
has its costs…

and rewards.
