Home Is Where the Heart Is

"Home is Where the Heart Is" Savages behind closed doors Civilised but wild animals sharpening claws Humanity tries to escape itself can’t run away from finding "TRUE HOME" behind closed doors Now opening windows fresh air escaping shadows Legs splayed and arms wide breathe "LIFE" in for once, we are empty vessels noisy prisoners in our own skin Soul seeking Soul peers through the vitreous humour 99% water, salty the Soul swims through an ocean towards the aqueous perimeter facing the clear shallows there the "LIGHT" penetrates the space between the lens like royal jelly the Soul stands it begins to sing wobbling behind the retinas reflecting a Blue Sky bit by WASP kissed vehemently in the heart the stinging barb fixed, Love, like a virus, pumps the relevance of existence Crimson through Violet Blue Green rivers Home is where the Heart Is the hornets’ nest broken rebirthed, awoken wet wings spreading unfurling in lock-down velocity rattles the Normals, the civilised wild animals sharpening claws a Soul escapes the hive dripping honey like a Bee pollinating white sheets towards the Sun (LadyLabyrinth / 2020) “Home is Where the Heart Is” / The Chameleons https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kOl9lohiMP8 1.

Thanks Robertina. Trust you and yours are safe. I have been so busy writing, and caught up with life outside of the Soup, I haven't had a chance to read your poems in some time, along with others. Will take some time over the next week to read and comment on poets and their poetry.

I love this poem you have written. Beautiful. "In that magical sight, dreams may gift deeper countenance of the many deeply blinded trails we foolishly tread setting us on sweet paths of Light and blessed sustenance wake us to reality, Life ends not when we are dead!" but truly loving these four lines, "In that magical inner sanctum where heart truly sees far more than the banks and eddies of the rivers we swim there colors of Life in vibrant idiosyncrasies far exceed and outshine saddest gasps of our fleshly whims...."

As always, very gracious and kind Lindley. I doubt God would bless me with my current take on it all at present (Covid). It is amazing how this current 'plague' affects the thought processes and mortal reasoning is infected by affectations, to have delivered all kinds of epiphanies. Thank you, for your kind thoughts. Trust you and yours are close and safe during these unfolding times.

I always said your poetry is interdimensional...you are in, what I call a state of Cosmic Flux...where self, higher self, and dimensional self are always in a constant state of fluctuation...bringing awareness to this third-density realm...in resonance with all things that were, are, and will ever be...your my kind of gal...what are you doing Saturday night? lol...The hipster Wingster :o) and Congrats!! on POTW LL

Today, I learnt you had left us. This made me very sad, Light Angel. But then I went and read your poems and it occurred to me, we are so fortunate to have spent time with you, through your beautiful, gift of mind and heart, your soul - through writing. You haven't truly left us and you are now a true Light Angel. Thank you for your gift. Lots of love always, Leanne. xx

When one considers automatic writing, then, one has to query is it the Soul writing, or God/Source speaking through the Soul that is writing? There is more to us than brain, heart, lungs, blood, skin and bones and all the other physical elements that make us .... there is an energy within us that is Soul; I am that I am. Soul is related to Source.

You will be aware of Automatic Writing, having shared your thoughts with me below. I will place this link here for those who do not know what Automatic Writing is.

That is a very intriguing concept Light Angel. I call God "Source", if I believe in Souls, then I believe in the concept that my Soul, for eg, outside of my body, before my body, was created or birthed somewhere "Other" at the behest of some greater unknown Source/Power. If we were created in God's image, as hypothesised, then surely we possessing both light and dark qualities (good and evil) within our psyches, have the very same qualities residing within God (Source); God/Source possesses both those qualities as well (good and evil). Of course, it is very obvious, I am open minded and I will only have the full answers at the time my soul departs my body to meet the great mystery. I will not go to Hell asking Source questions, or putting my thoughts out there....I am intrigued by Sacred Geometry, Sacred Numbers, All things Paranormal and extraordinary. I believe we write from Soul (whether it is Higher or Lower self, is debatable) and some of the best writers are writing automatic.

...there is an infinite amount of realities & dimensions...and many infinities...each must be experienced with differential nuances...The God Head or Prime Creators (Male & Female)...are all-knowing...except for one thing...where they came from?...the Prime Creators are pure energy...so thus they need our new experiences, for the awareness of self to come to light...confused!...I am too lol...this is what has been revealed to me thus far...and I have experienced may unusual things...some involve Sacred Geometry and the sacred numbers 11, 13, 22, 33, and 44 :o)

Winged Warrior
Date: 4/24/2020 10:06:00 PM

The Prime Creator, God Head, or for argument sake... a little old man with a beard sitting on a cloud...whatever we can conceive a diety to be, with our puny peanut brains ( no offense to anyone that has a small peanut brain lol)...is that evil is allowed to exist in this third-dimensional construct...so thus the battles between good vs evil are exercises in our multidimensional spiritual growth...we are conduits fragmented with divine purpose as we can understand it...and if we ask...doors shall be open..." ask, and you shall receive"..."seek, and you shall find" :o)

Ah, but am I God's kind of gal...probably not. I ask too many confronting questions of God. I am questioning so many dimensions at present and having conversations with so many deities and interdimensional travellers .... get this, some kind of communication apparatus with some other dimension....this is real shizz, it isn't rigged. One has to question, who is this God? what is this God? How many Gods, how many dimensions?

Great and brilliant poem you wrote. I really thought it was amazing. Daniel! God Bless!! Congratulations on POTW!

Lady Labyrinth

Thank you Daniel. I've been reading your poems/narratives. Faith in something bigger than ourselves, and the knowing, somehow, there is somewhere that offers sanctuary and peace, far removed from this dimension we currently inhabit, is a reassuring and beautiful comfort to possess. I especially like this one you wrote (link below), because that one thing is the common denominator that binds us all together...we all want it, we all need it and we are all holding on or holding out for it. https://www.poetrysoup.com/poem/the_love_poem_1245844

Isn't it wonderful? Isolation ....I've gone all Larry Darrell, my next foray is into Lotus Eating. I have fallen in love with the stories of Somerset Maugham and am on the path to transcendental enlightenment. Stay safe Connie. Thanks for stopping by, I am delighted you love the poem.xx

The journey to becoming, the struggle and excitement of reaching a goal then continuing to move onward and upward, life's continual challenge so well expressed in moving imagery. Congratulations on your POTW.

Lady Labyrinth
Date: 4/20/2020 5:01:00 PM

Thank you Sam. That is an interesting perspective. I wonder when we write, whether it is our higher self or lower self that is writing; what encapsulates the lower self? Is it the reptilian neocortex part of the brain responding to flight or fight, the physiological reaction that occurs in response to a perceived harmful event, attack, or threat to survival and the lower self will write as catharsis to save itself; or does the writing flow automatically from the being that lives in the never ending chambers of the pineal gland (inter-dimensional portal, third eye) that has simply had enough of the body and shows us the way out to something better. The psychology behind at what point the Soul looks through the windows and wants "OUT" of the body for an uncontained sense of freedom. The poem is about soul, release and the freedom to transform out of the body to some higher vibration. Emancipation from Samsara to Nirvana.

Lady Labyrinth

Without the organ that is the Heart, the piece of equipment that is central key to the opera that is our Life, pumping blood through our veins - everything stops physically. The Soul has another Heart entirely...and that is where the real HOME is.

During these times people are being confronted with themselves. Some will find that exceedingly difficult. Others will fall in love with who they are becoming. Congratulations on POTW. The soup made an excellent choice.

Lady Labyrinth

Thank you Lamour 'eux. This is a poem to the Higher Self. Surely one should be falling in love with that being.

This is what everyone wants, whether they say they do or not and it is achievable if people want it enough. There is no such thing as 'normalcy', what we ALL want is full-blown LOVE. xx
