Do This Before You Write
Settle your self down and down to the earth.
Gather you lose soil,condense and strong.
Spring back up like fresh oxygen,exhaled from lush green trees.
Sit on the ground then stand up.
Understand both positions.
Reach beyond the window with your eyes and become one with the tree.
Then open the window and let river streams of water bash against your face.
Look in the clouds. Stand on the clouds.
Drift away with its hypnotist of motions. Release all restrictions and notions.
In this tranquility dig in your conscious.
Walk through its maze and fine your super conscious.
Run away from your self and join it again.
In your mind ride the elephants back and see what it seeing and be what it is being.
Break a piece of that expensive ivory, from within.
From this mysterious elephant you have become.
Dip it in ink and think. Sink,rise,then sink into the being of you super conscious and write. Write on a blank and separated paper but unite all from within.
