Apotheosis
Its torment is meant to disturb
the whole of the peace
you embody
The aim is to fragment & scatter
but you see the path of pieces
as if they're breadcrumbs
or brain matter
Time & again they lead you back
to a place of wholeness
when you follow
the pitter patter
What some run from & fail to
realize is being broken
is a gift because
we all must shatter
in a way
Though it isn't their goal they
actually teach one
how to be whole
these days
Within the folds of your existence
are many opportunities
for ones
transcendence
What better way is there to increase
than to be broken down
piece by piece in order
to rebuild?
Those creases are filled with
experiences that will
not cease until all of the
building grounds have been tilled
Skillfully move like a barge then
barge forward without notice
& before you know it
you've become
a lotus
You've forgotten how dreamy
you are because you're
too focused on the
stars & the illusion of skies
A wise one once told me that
the whole of the world
is a lie
ready to be uncovered
by you
By you I mean me because
you're a figment of
dreams that I see
with eyes both open
& closed
Within this soliloquy I've
enclosed secrets that
will unfold in the minds of
those dying to know
The 1 resurrected & rose
inside of you on your
date of birth yet we celebrate
birthdays that take away from
our worth over time
Those that understand will see
with real eyes what was
written is only over the heads
of those not in their mind
Sometimes the truth is dark but
how else would you learn
& realize what it means
to shine?
