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
