Ghosts and Gods


"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
