Poem
"Ghosts and Gods" We see them when we want to, in our minds and hearts they are always mysterious watching over us the other world - above they - see everything in our dreams below we - the strangest creatures below, sometimes we see them above, when they want us to ghosts and gods sharing seats with angels and demons and lightening thrones dimensionless in clouds invisible giants sitting nonchalantly swinging their feet, waiting, watching the slow falling awakening calling us home one way or another hypnotically through the rock bed of our questionable realities eventually we all disappear rapturously through the windows we are forced to close, or freely choose to open, wide with fear or wonder what’s true? we constantly question exteriors, the truth is to be discovered only inside us, alone, phantoms in quiet moments to traverse what we seek our higher worlds are calling us in, lighter bodies encased for the time being in sheer vessels, our skin and bones steer them, they are not asleep in their tombs, they grow restless moored soulfully in mulled prophecies coiled around us the dark nights our fears we breathe in each day - to win, is to let go; we still hold on, we wait watching wearing our faith and belief like Black Tourmaline cross referencing Seraphinite protection; we silently consider myths as real dreams are visiting us more vibrantly lucid we are becoming aware becoming our ghosts and gods transitioning ecstatically escaping dissolving between the veils we have worn after all our destruction and falls we have like mantras drawn messages graffiti code, constant delicate and labyrinthine inside us all, subliminal on every one of our Jericho walls ghosts and gods mirrored in cloudy quite moments just before the storm something bigger than ourselves pulls us forward draws us in comedic relief Elysian Fields caricature, we are all heroes related to Gods in books waiting for the breaking of our hearts it calls us all towards the fulfilment of something more something bigger wants us - to break down the walls of our hearts and minds to invite something bigger in opening the contractual door to answer all to let the real magic in following the break and the fall (LadyLabyrinth / 2021)
