If our words fall softly into the world, do they find a listener or heart, or does it drift like a feather across oceans on air? Does heaven listen to the sky? Do the words we write find infinity, or vanish like sparks in the night? I stand among the full stops, commas and exclamations, their need beckons in slow conversation with the longing of a blank page. Our thoughts pass, at times disjointed, yet bound by some hidden thread, and yet it carries the scent of something remembered, something not yet understood. Do the stones pray when the rain touches them? Do the rivers whisper to the moon as they twist through the night? Does a little fox pause, nose lifted, ears poised, and send a prayer along its path, in some hope or is it only hunger and instinct speaking? I watch the sky fall and fold into itself, bright stars kindling like distant fires, and I wonder if longing is the same thing everywhere, or only inside me. I raise my hands at times, not to ask, not to give or take but to feel the pulse life that moves through my fingers the humming, unbroken, of leaf, of wing, of stone, of heart. And in that silent moment, I am both lost and found, a witness to the quiet pondering that is with each line of thought, Neither do we wait to be noticed but silently transformed.

Quiet Reflections
Inspire— get people's Minds— Feelings—Thoughts. Expire— give your own Mind— Feelings—Thoughts. Hear— absorb Ideas. Speak— give Ideas. We All are the Same— a blur of Ideas—Words—Faces all of Us—one Voice.

People are other people's mirror
Ode to the Stream that sits stagnant somewhere over Northgate Green: I have sat by it and observed Rippled currents falling down Into murky shallows, an un-natural Green, like mountain-dew Breathing frothy spots of bubbles That circle a rhubarb vape And a sprite can and a Heineken can and a Little hopping Wren darting Between curled roots. I remember too, The drips of Rain water Worming Down the dingy Alleyways of My childhood, Dripping down Nettles and Seeping into Cracked brick and Sodden dirt And part of - now a - Sordid cigarette packet. And from some Geography class, I remember how This water was Reborn, once In massive clouds, Grumbling masses, Sky's mother who Shadows the Bursting Writhing Violent Rivers And Vast Fjords And Reaching Peaks And Breaching Skys And Once Birthed As torrent Rainfall Tearing Massive wounds Into tectonic Plates The Blood of matter And organism And that which Carries our **** In every form But that's not all. As, I recall: The lifting motion of staring Into 'etched lines of water' From rain, tracing bulbous Recollections on opaque glass And knowing they don't Know where they are going And I bask in the significance of This insignificance.

Ode to the stream and what it implies
Dancing to the rhythm of the universe, A beautiful, organic chaos. Grateful for the lessons, I drift in a pool of elysium. A wounded healer in progress, Prancing on a satin thread, Woven with multidimensional facets. Allow me to amend the social poison Flowing within this boundless vessel.

Dancing to the rhythm of this universe

Baby
every single thought you brew begins in me and ends with you these empty beds that home our sleep, do not fill with lonely sheets for when i toss and turn in dreams i somehow feel you there with me your Soul is clothing that i wear i feel your gazing everywhere even from across the seas i say "bless you" as you sneeze my cuts & bruises line your knees my hollow heart skips to your beat but some days it feels off pace for such reasons i can't say is it your sadness that i trace? when it goes dark i see your face i think i blink for you to breathe i know that it is not just me who feels this heaviness i bleed i still spit out the sand in me it's from my heart i left at sea my waves of love fill with seaweed... i'm caught in you; come sink with me

sinking seaweed
I lay here waiting in my skin for the tearing of the membrane that seperates this world from the next one and I let myself get carried along by a fresh stream of reasoning until I flare up in the dark like a new species of amoeba this balancing and spinning around on an atom and just not falling off it becomes boring at times and maybe because of that sporules once landed here to grant us the possibility of another possibility I lay here waiting and I manage not to drown just like only an almost newborn baby can and being born in 1983 means nothing here in the swelling infinity of the abnormal my skin has been waiting for new atmospheres for decades and the touch of unknown forms makes me shudder with raw impervious happiness because invisible energy effervesces alongside my arms and the eyes in my skull could be anyone’s right now suddenly the waiting is forgotten and I wallow myself in the gathered fairy tales of every soul that preceded me carelessly astonished and uncapable of understanding the seriousness of this absurd life inside me irrational poetry dances like a tribe jumping around a bonfire outside the universe dances her own eternity round and round

I saw a little crab coming out the sea snail shell greeting me. I saw a ladybug ********** and welcoming me on the beach. Then I bathed in the luminous sun rays naked. Bare beauty of existence: I let the lady bug go                 near the coast to climb on the finest bush branch. Thank you, happy-go-lucky! I go as well. . . sweet lady I saw grey green ***** running into the shade hiding among sea rock cracks. . .sea waves splashing over them. I saw a lonely seagull staring at me thoughtfuly aware. This reserve sharp, piercing gaze surpised me ~ thinking: "Who is this-lady occupying my bay?" Then the seagull flew away landing nearby on the baby waves, swaying with a natural rhythm, drifting, white, away, still aware of my presence. I had to draw him within my mind to capture the curve of his beak and the orange yellow shade, eyes thinking of other eyes, masculinity. The body was The Livingston.  Pure bonus. Of living. I saw all human beings have this yearning soul, wanting to be happy. Every inner light glows beautifully. ***Thank you ~ Majestic Universe! We are never alone! Interconnected I am, happy, content, loving each rock, pebble, soil~ tree, person, sunrise~music~sunset! Every ripple's interference phenomena caused by these amazing alive beings. Morning around. . .***
