You By You

Identifying with things distracts from who you really are
Close your mind to the outside influences
Clear your thoughts
Live now as you choose
Just be

Don't forget
If you believe in reincarnation

Life's too short for dreams and schemes
Let's get real and push extremes
Take a chance while there's still time
Spontaneity loves tasting the wine

Moment Of Reflection

From the mirror's point of view
Truth or disguise
Drunk on images
The hangover effect
Relief or excuse

Universal Dust
j a connor May 2023
Must I look around
Involving myself in expanding intimacies
Something created from so much
But very little
Pushing me from the importance of the infinite
Rotating without break
Encompass all
No matter
No willing
I must float
Flex
Descend
Cease
If I am here
I must belong
May 2023 · 415
Afraid to sleep
j a connor May 2023
Tossed into another dimension
Via dreams I dare not mention
Unsure of life in this realm
Frightened by thoughts that overwhelm
Escape seems irrelevant and unclear
Where I am is where I belong
I fear

this is not the shape of things
escape the boundaries
look within

j a connor Apr 2023
my life is just that
mine
no one is qualified to say that I am right or I am wrong
I live to my own rules
like it
loathe it
I don't care
I will not instruct or comment on how you live
don't apply the same to me
so there

Someday
j a connor Apr 2023
Sometimes
When I go to sleep
I think

What time do I have

Change is constant
Just look in the mirror
I will have little control over how things pan out

Sometimes
It can be detrimental
To think

Of what was
Of what will be

Now is all I have
  
Someday
The morning will not be there
I close my eyes and wait

breaking limits
j a connor Apr 2023
there is a certain liberation to be enjoyed
no rule following
going through a point that impresses the senses
freedom of speed
reaching the horizon before dawn
no longer per hour
measuring in the second
ecstasy of movement
with no destination
ending too soon
but living in the moment

I or i

Do I seek reparation
Do I crave adoration
Am I drawn by the critics
Am I freed by the lies
When I question my cause
My answer repeats

Without me there is nothing

I am my life

depth of confusion
j a connor Mar 2023
what dream is this I awaken from

am I no longer a part of time
where is the reality of before
my clock is running behind

catching up with where the world has gone
it wears you out

sleep is where I find my reality

so leave me to descend into my own
and carry on with nothing

in the darkness
I sit
I wait
for what
I don't know
why are we here
we are surplus to requirements in a world that does not need us
all life has a purpose
except
humans
what do we contribute to the planet but grief
war
destruction
self interest
nothing of value to the existence of Earth
and yet
we have the arrogance to suggest we are the solution

open the door to explore
deeply
your innermost dreams

explore all that is seen
and
challenge the unseen

nothing is out of reach
grasp
absorb don't teach

don't set limits to existence
trust
in your persistence

Go   Lose your resistance   Live
