Kenshō Mar 2015
I don't know much beyond the bounds
Of my biological ups and downs,
But I can see the vastness of meaning
Pondering objects around which are found.
Now I don't preach dogma or
Belief that drowns in its own contradictories,
I am not fighting for one side or the other to ensure a profitable victory.
But what I want is an isolated moment of freedom
That is fully mine to enjoy,
To express my essence in every situation
Without feeling nervous to restrict thoughts or feelings.
Is this a crazy request in 2015? However the present is ever present.
I don't wish to go beyond or to conquer large bounds;
I just want to be a free man right now, without humans being illegal.
See it's not just a war on righteousness or justice, it's a war on people..

Ponder what you will, and pursue the heart of things..

Being alone is not loneliness
Time we spend with ourselves
Listening to our inner voices
The symphony of the universe
So many things unheard before
A revelation to the Soul that yearns
To taste the purity of this origin
Sediments of chaos settle down
Giving you clarity and pure thoughts
Mind, heart, and soul in concord
Clearer perspective of the truth
Otherwise obfuscated by distractions
Kenshō Mar 2015
What if I could find Heaven
Amidst my own way?
Would you condemn me to your Hell
Tomorrow?

If my soul could wash with the wind
And my heart could soar the skies,
Would you quarantine my unique spectrum?

If I could sing with the full moon
Or dance to the soul of fire,
Would you claim me a hedonist?

Or would The Tower of Babel block the barrier
Needed to perceive you and I as the same soul carrier?

Sometimes you are caught
Between the intersections
Of you and your reflection
Wondering, about the reality
So much happens between
Exchanges with your reflection
Mirroring what you want to see
And what reality actually is
Try to touch the portrayed image
Segregate the inner reality
And the outer façade for the world
Mirror what you really are
And your reflection will embrace you
Given the clarity, that shatters
The reflection of a reflection
Thus blossoms the image from the heart
Mirror will be glistening with pride

I have a really bad thought and I'm just putting it out there, I could totally have over exaggerated and don't know the real story so tell me if I'm wrong.
Doesn't it feel horrible if you don't want to adopt them? Like their humans and they want a family, but if they aren't wanted it's off to another place, another strike, another day without a family. They start all over again with some other people a little more broken every time they are rejected, but they need someone to love them so they pull themselves together hoping for the best, but expecting the worst.
What if they want some of the kids and not the others...do you split up people who finally learned how to trust others contrary to the abandonment and being let down a number of times.
How do you look someone in the eye then learn they don't want you and are even the slightest bit okay with it? I guess it comes with time after time doing this, but I couldn't do it.
I'm an adopted kid, but I got lucky and was a baby so nothing has ever scarred me.

Dreams have become
Literally
Quite lyrically
Lately
Drifting away
On a bed of melodies
Listening to the songs
Of past memories
Bringing around
An air of clarity
And it seems
The subconscious bleeds
Figuratively
Over into reality
As I find myself awake
Singing songs I've never heard

On a sea of glass  .  .  .
Two boats float restful in dusk,                                                        
  .  .  .  We watch the sun set.

Sometimes, you are stuck in the past, thinking what could have been. But the best thing to do is, pick up the pieces, put them back together and move on. Because a finished puzzle is more clear than one left undone.

'Cause you are the piece of me I wish I didn't need
Chasing relentlessly, still fight and I don't know why
If our love is tragedy, why are you my remedy?
If our love's insanity, why are you my clarity?*

I am done fighting for someone who isn't worth my time,
This song describes exactly how I feel.
He is/was my clarity for my broken world..
Now He's gone...
just a reflection of how this song makes me feel...
I step into the light
my eyes start seeing clearly
I step into the divine light
My eyes see clearly
