Through times gone by
The injustices of humanity meld
Presenting our current state
Fear and dismay

Peace and love

Are
The only hope
We have
To create trust with our universe

Or don’t

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

Deepening voids in the darkness of hope
Descending free with just enough rope
Projection of dreams
A final faded lie
I'll dine on my yin
But
Have my yang with wry
j a connor Oct 2020
Sometimes people and society don’t allow us to be who we are
We have to comply with unwritten traditions
Mass insecurity tries to hold back individual growth
You cannot do this
You cannot do that
It may affect the lives of others
(But)
Life affects the path of all on a daily basis
No assistance is required
Follow our individual drive and travel together
Work with what we have
Instead of against
Lose our fear of reliance
Experience the event
j a connor Oct 2020
We will not retain the present form forever
It will end
We age yet fight against the inevitable
Accept and receive
Or
Reject and deny
It is our choice
There is no time but now
Why waste it on the path of fools
Why try to find a purpose or cause when the outcome will reveal Emptiness
Or worse

Return to the empty mind
Embrace all
Let your heart be your guide
j a connor Nov 2020
This path is overgrown but I walk it with repetitive ease
Gone are the days lost in time revealing somewhere new
When the challenge to overcome the weeds and thorns excited me
Tomorrow forever
It has been a while now since I was here
A place that was the starting point for hope
I had belief in the stars
Destiny was my mistress and she could lead me anywhere
Temptation was the thrill of the unknown
I could not fail
Until
She left
Following the new found youth to betray simplicity for fate
As I dwell on the history of a band of fools
Mirrored in nations
Thinking that there was peace in the goal of achievement
j a connor Dec 2021
life is unique for everyone
let's not interfere because it makes us feel right
let's just accept and stop trying to change and rearrange  
complexities
that we will probably never fully understand
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

late evening and the sky reflects my feeling of relaxation
sleep is near and tomorrow will welcome the sun
meanwhile
I think
tiredness is a reality I can control
peace is a destiny I can't

Losing the innocence of yesterday

Constant change

It seems

Is here to stay
j a connor Oct 2020
I'm dreaming of the spires of Desdemona                                  
Stirred by the the sands of Barcelona
A rooftop view
Through
The distance
Of the sun kissed mist
A Dawn like no other
Or no one
Time
Perpetual in light
Passing with night
A memory of the blues                                              
Held in the heart of a failed lover                          
Ecstasy to anxiety
Heart to sole
To walk away
Or stay
Blending with the warm dry dust
j a connor Oct 2021
My thoughts are a lost ocean
Seeking passage through winding canyons
Leading back to the source
The source of creation as perceived by the regimented structure of modern life ?
Modern life that views man's achievements as a eureka moment
A life that requires an explanation for all occurrences
I must climb deeper to the peak of this inverted mountain
To a time of wonder
No boundaries
Unprogrammed
It is almost within reach
In this depth lies the truth
j a connor May 2023
Brought from the past
This future is not mine
Afraid to speak
It does not align
Brought from the past
I can't help but be here
Afraid to be me
This future insincere

Train at the station
I'm not getting that one
Things seem to be moving too quickly
This great getaway should be a relaxing break
But it's standing room only for the next three hours
I step outside
It's quiet
Calm
All the travellers are away
I think I'll walk a bit and regain my peace

the good life is a state of mind
relax a while see what you find
when you get the feeling right
you could be anywhere
from exotic lands

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

welcome to a world of eternal shame
past events cry for someone to blame
to live as now
must we accept
history demands we not forget

but perhaps
we should
despite the masses
drag ourselves out
from the ashes

what went before has found its place
we cannot revisit and alter it's face

Witness the world
Unconcerned
With our ways
Developing as it should
Ourselves
Here until whenever
Civilisations come
Then go
And
Repeat
But
What will thrive
With the passage of time

Friday evening sails into view
Sky turns a rosy shade of blue

Rise to my feet
Stroll across the sand

Listen to the surf
Riding the land

I drunk some wine
Just to clear my mind

But
I can't stop

Thinking about you
