To the pleasure of absolute nothingness, paradise for the yearners. Hell for the worriers. The garden of ruined fruits will be forgotten, the harvest of the mold, the better option is to never create the garden. Removal of the fruits, the seeds, the compose, the soil. No more the swings of sweat and tears. Harken back to nothing. Yet without such things there is no consumption of the food, there is no yearning for the good, Like a car with only a hood. Directionless be the thought, end and start would serve the purpose of the martyr's unknowing. It is not sacrifice, it is escapism.

A Congenial Nihilism
When did I become one with the machine? My body’s lost its meaning. When did my pieces become parts? It’s such a grimy feeling. Not a single original thought— Just an animation, turned on by the input of systematic oppression My output; just regurgitation Anxiety and crippling depression Time constrained by the weight of the world Do you feel the pressure? And you already know this Foraging for focus Keep your thoughts in sync Close your eyes and listen, but don’t forget to breathe Your mind’s eye is preoccupied with patterns on repeat They call it groupthink Whoop, whoop Thought police Loop, spiral, fractal Segregated sentiment seeking your sentience Coagulate and listen Maybe its madness or maybe it’s ******* progress Reel it in, just breathe, don’t regress Ya gotta feel the feeling Let it be, Fleeting Because you’re what’s real So feel your heart, Beating Now ease your mind You have to remember to forget it’s just the grind and you gotta play along sometimes

wheres the line
inside morning breaths I ready self for new day, putting thoughts and intentions into gear Excitement builds to drive on road of unknown. Mind moves pedal-like feet. Transmission of heart in vessel purrs. Breath adjusts gear stick in mind. L - loving life’s experiences with gratitude. O -  opening heart to love energies. V - veering away from judgement or fear. E - expanding into dreams. Inside morning breaths I align to move with Gods Power Steering Don’t leave home without it. It leads way with self as copilot.

At First Light
In the drivers seat of my day I put my thoughts into gear. First gear self love. Second gear compassion. Third gear optimism. Fourth gear trust. Fifth gear miracles Sixth gear love to all. In the drivers seat of my day I put my Heartbeat into song. Song of gratitude. Song of peace. Song of joy. Song of faith. Song of love for all.

Instructions From the Control Tower
She hears tick tock, tick tock within her head. Tick tock, tick tock the gears turn and grind as the clock work falls in line within her mind. The time is rushing within her thoughts too fast for her to stop. Soon she will wind down and will not tick or tock. The clockwork girl will have no more thoughts, time runs short for her well-oiled clock. Goodbye my lovely clockwork girl tick tock, tick tock, tick tock!

Clockwork Girl
Well this machine just wasn't built right. the receptor only processes certain sounds that it's familiar with or images that seem to not really exist, motors seem to be weak only get enough juice to function above low power when the system is running on the backup generator. even then it only can move for about an hour it needs to be shut down for eight hours every night and take a fifteen minute break every two hours so it's really only useful 14 hours a day at best and if you ever forget to shut it off or try to leave it on more then that you'll need to send it back to the shop for thirty days we recommend washing it every morning and putting these capsules in the top when you boot it up it may make mistakes less often or it could self destruct chances are if you remember to shut it off it will not destroy itself there are better models but they are for display to make you see how much more you need to tend to this model we really need you to know how much care this machine takes it doesn't do everything it's capable of but it can do pretty much everything.

It wasn't built right.
She called me from downstairs. There's some gear, medical stuff outside, two cases, a midwife's instruments, why put them here? Don't touch them, you never know these days, perhaps they're from next door. She's a midwife, so I hear. I'll ask them to identify. They checked and foud her car unlocked. But why left for us to find? A joke? A cruel comment, mocking us who nest no more.

The Empty Nest
A walk through the misty wood. The trail latent with track of hooves, which tell me the ways the forest moves, into the endless green hood. I would step to dance upon these tracks, but the sound is what holds me back. I shouldn't disturb the animals around, or step on the forests leafy gown. The powerful sounds of the forest, not meant for a tape to be repeated because the pure sound is sweet to my ear, and to my heart, it will always be near.

The nature poem.
I was once a tyke, I built sand castles too, I had a play doll, a stuffed animal, some that Reminded me of you. I had a place set for Two, tea that was poured, a pastel set, skies blue, And every day we'd bake a cake, we'd celebrate, With plays and artwork at five, storytelling at eight. *But now that time is gone and it's already late, So I join the army and get in gear, fight each year, Dropping bombs to make them pay, a tool, a slave, Work until I become a mindless drone, another steer, I've "grown up" so much, I'm no longer sweet or soft, I guess I seem aloof, but we just get stiff year after year.*

No more years. To cry those tears. No more beers To drowned my Fears. Its time to kick it into gear. Now say cheers. With your fellow peers.

No more
I have been in the shade far to long.. Even walking in the sun this darkness looms over me.. Yesterdays haunt me to a point of seeing no tomorrows.. I can still hear the bell toll its one note song.. It was 12,000 years later, 12,000 years of being in such shade.. That I finally saw the sun above this sky.. The ghost and dreams of my children have brought me here to this place.. A sun sized planet that is home to the divine gear.. A technology built by a higher being.. A technology that can take an immortal to the next realm, to heaven.. The divine gear will complete my star drive.. And there it spun.. Driving the life on this huge planet.. I knew I could not take it with me now.. As taking it from this place would end all life on this beautiful planet.. I could feel it calling to me.. I closed my eyes.. It begun to spin in all its divinity.. It made me see, feel, hear, and make real all of its dreams.. For the moment I moved throughout all of the universe, I saw what it wanted me to do.. Then I would be awarded the passage to heaven.. When I opened my eyes I felt different.. I saw things different.. I heard things different.. I felt things different.. Through the eyes of a God I could see emotion.. On my right hand there was now a tatoo of the divine gear itself.. But this tatoo spun within my hand guiding me on where to go next.. It was time to bring life to this vast dead universe.. It begins with me.. Heaven awaits..
