A Life Cosmic
j a connor Nov 2020
Who we are is all in the mind
Purpose projected by ego
A false importance of identity
Lose yourself
Accept the universe
Imperfection is perfect
We exist
Embrace the truth of our simplistic passage
We are not in control
Relax
Enjoy
Live

Today
j a connor Dec 2021
sunshine on the wall makes me smile
even in winter it fights against the oncoming storms
a little piece of joy
a lot like good health
not appreciated enough
our lives are filled with contradictions which is how it should be
it is harder to discover the true meaning if all feelings are known
but just to experience that fleeting moment of brightness
I know there is hope

I am not patient
Except when I am
I am not tolerant
But accept that I can be
I Love
But
Is it for personal gain
I cry
But
Is it to free my own pain
Do I go against all that I should be
Or
Do I realise
Through all my searching
That I find
I am
Who

I am

Lost in a vision of eternal greed                                                                                  
Exploitation of the masses to further their need
Living for a drug that makes blood rust
Creatures that sadly are no more than dust
More More More they cry
Me Me Me they cry
When
It can no longer satisfy
Then
Within
They die

Verse from "Stairs"
j a connor Jul 2021
Silence is a friend that will never betray
But
Do you want to live your life with nothing to say
Be who you are
Forget about the gimmicks
We were born original
Don't let us die mimics

Woke up at 5
Realised I had missed 4 years
The next 10 were a blur
Turned into a teenager with no fears
After 30
Thought I knew the plan
Passing 50
Still felt like a boy living as a man
60
It's just a number
Until the mirror laughs at me
I think I'll sleep at 70
See what the next life will be

The complexity of humanity can be found in the convenience store

The regulars, not looking to change the daily habits

The passing trade, hoping for a one stop

The lonely, finding a point of contact that may be the only one
                    not buying anything in particular but happy to advise
And

The cashier
                    overseeing all with power
                    never participating wholly in the dramas that unfold

But looking forward to the end of the day when the door closes

Twilighters
j a connor Oct 2023
The streets are uneasy at this time
When the twilight separates the day
Party goers , lonely wanderers, the disturbed
And yet
As the darkness fades
All takes on a new perspective

The real disappears and the routine begins once more
Uniformed of mind take their places in the daily experience  
Isolated beings for the sake of repetition and familiarity
Weak every day through the months and years
Until
All stops

Those in the shadows prefer the unknown and unexpected
The challenge of survival without a  fragile safety net
For it all ends for all
How we reach that point depends on our perception of a life lived

But still breathing
