Everyone moves too fast.
Freeways of humanity move like ants
Scrambling for sugar
Or just something to make them feel
A pinpoint of light at the end of the tunnel
Or a pinprick of pain,
Arranged against the lonely desert backdrop

On these freeways
Politeness is a sign of submission
Showing our stomach to the apex predators
Wishing they don't move too quickly
To take us from our journey
But we all move too quickly

Like an angry beehive,
Always buzzing with excitement
Or is it fear?
In our mechanized strive for productivity
We lost the slow-moving essence
Of why creation exists

Downshift

And move slowly off the freeway
Away from hill and hive
To park benches surrounded in flowers
Move slowly as your hand touches hand
Your lips touch their lips
Downshift
And take a moment for yourself

The essence of affection
A virtuous condition
Factors in certain traits
and affirms who we make
Descriptions of conduct
are attributed properly

Spot of tea
Cuddle please
Come with me
Property
Long journey

The Things; they are indeed so different from this point of view;
They change their forms, their aspect and the hue;
The things are upside-downed with their Intestines strewn and smashed and reek of newly written picture to the sky does up
And up; it soars above distinctly as the morning sky in mourning of the scythéd rye; the swathéd rye; ye fellow rise and cry
Emit and fly and die and rise from maggots to the damnéd earth condemned to fly in space with the eternal dearth
This being that to bear;
So how you think
Shall I as
well
a toast
Apply to a sheet some ink?
Ink Knee weal leave lark crawl

I suspect,
that my essence
was never meant
for such love.
all along,
all alone.

and thus I remain.

When I reach for you the very essence of your soul touches my soul.

There is a peace and energy that I can't describe. Deeper I go into your soul, and it's like a journey.

A journey that takes you into walls of lights, the journey I never want to end. Your soul is without darkness that brings warmth to other souls.

It shines the very breath of life. Breathing in, breathing out.

The soul I want to hold forevermore, but I cannot. For it is a traveling soul to enjoy when it is there.

Not to hold on to, but to be free where no one else has seen the joy your soul contains.

So be free traveling soul!!!!
Feel inspired to write off of it.
Pines prickle ruddy cheeks,
I tickle itchy peaks.

Full circle I come
inside sacred life.
The good the bad Lessons
pitted against time expands heart
as Universal year concludes.

12 months in year opens door for another turn around of calendar wheel for wisdom.
12 numbers on clock vibrate to aid soul.
12 zodiac signs bring celebration of birth and death.
12 notes on scale echo to open hearts and remember
divine self.

Full circle I come
to stand tall
for new chapter of journey.

A place where home in heart echoes and
authentic self rises in moment.
Memories of past dissipate
making room to hear voices grand.

The magical universal enshrouds
with energies of love
and I am grateful.
Wind blows gracefully,
and I am grateful.
Waves of change come
and I am ready.

The old me is reborn to recall
mission to serve.
And my essence of love
is awaken to celebrate.
Celebrate of of life in these new exciting times.

The rebuilding of of every aspect of life has begun.

Happy New Year!

Golden essence shifts through my fingers, spilling on the ground, shifting over my feet.

A gentle breeze passes through, the sands become its body, emulating its spirit and casting its shadow.

The glittering glow sings to the sun a melody pleasing to the eyes.
