I’m certainly in no mood for laughter today;
the sky is pitch-black.
Even the clamorous newsboy has lost his voice.
Time tries in vain to defy Fate.
An old asphalt worker heads off for a beer,
while the young woman in the window opposite
casually slips off her blouse.
I hope she doesn't think I'm a voyeur.
It's done.
The flame doused, tears ebbed.
The hour I dreaded has come,
All feelings end.
It's here.
Numbed by long desperation
Beyond all pain and fear,
Estranged from emotion.
It's eternal.
Deaf to murmurs and whispers
Of souls, infernal.
I rise beyond shivers.
unsouled seem I as binary star
a twin forever separated in time
space holds ace yet cause and effect
must harvest its dues, no tasty stew
breathed as one by the One
masculine to ground feminine
to sky ~ high is low, mirroring sows
east ties west, four feet be blessed
hearts entwined for missions divine
dualistic artistic to be realistic
black with white etheric swirls
through aeons timelines twirled
union within is goal to achieve
like worker bees we do believe
yin-yang is Almighty's conceive
unsouled we weave to finally
c l e a v e ~

Allpoetry Contest: Theme : unsouled
May 26
molecules in body become aligned aware
purification a process of mind
equanimity the reachable finely tuned kind
keeping balance is a high welfare
pain and pleasure in equal measure
Faith Patience and Love together
Sun needs Rocket and Launchpad
Most High is Ascension and Grounded

crown petals unfold for lofty Light
fontanelle gaping softly smile
Centre Point’s hole blazon mile
pineal connects as conical way
to galactic edenic binomial rays
loosens ovuliferous scales honed
thyroid equalises, tongue relaxes
cylinder opens larynx true blue
speech becomes intended hues
heart softens atria, ventricles
valves linking doors of paradise
protected golden it rhapsodises
coin-line verticle-horizontal spherical
solar plexus flowers monumental near
mystical super might no incidentals
feed flows smooth for tantric beats
sacral seat in creativity knowing heat
power is orange action satisfaction
rooted into Earth mooted primordial
authentic estate mirthful immemorial
aligned connection very refined
~~~~~~~~~~
EARTH BELOW ME
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
the blue marble shrinks,
a child's toy lost
in the vast darkness of the universe.
below me, continents blur,
coastlines soften,
memories dissolving at the edges.
am I falling or is this
a slow, deliberate ascent
into the quiet hum of nothing?
Weightless, I am all things,
and nothing at all,
my earthly albatross released.
Going Home.
Not a place, but a feeling,
a shedding of skin,
a merging with the boundless.
Mother Earth recedes into the starlight,
a whispered promise of return,
someday, perhaps.
But not yet. Not now.
Now, only the drift.
only the falling,
upward.
ASCENSION
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
moon slowly ascends
silver coin in well of sky
glow smooths rough edges
Sun Ascends
Sun ascends into breezy
Pillows of feathery love.
The earth breathes deeply
While I float effortlessly
Though sleepiness
And blessings bestowed
By the loving intent
Of my soul.
Summer is eternal
If you allow her to be.
Winter is real
Only if you leave
The door open
To emptiness
And confusion.
It was never the sun
Who ascended
But the ascension
Of my soul
Beyond limited thinking
And beyond self imposed
Barriers of limitation
And lack.
As I give up lack
And accept Light,
I have become
Light
That is eternal.
6.6.25
White clouds furl into the day
A veil o'er the celeste sky
Where Christ is taken away
Our heavenly home draws nigh
Taken up to heaven to sit at God’s right hand,
He sent His apostles to every man,
To teach, to preach to heal so all may understand
He died, He rose and He will come again.
He raised His hands, blessed them and rose up out of sight
Then they went forth to preach everywhere.
To tell the world about the Christ, the Way, the Truth, the Life,
That when He comes we won’t be unaware.
“Therefore,” He told them, “go. Make disciples of all men.
For every power has been given me.
In the name of the Father, Son and Spirit, baptize them.
Teach them that all might come to believe.”
He died and He arose and ascended into heaven.
But He didn’t just leave us behind,
He promised to be with us for ever and ever,
Until the end of time… Until the end of time.
(A lone voice whispers)
In this life
What you choose to let others feel
By practicing these three key major principles linked to love
Care
Understanding and
gratitude
Can be the difference between appearing fake with a pious platitude
Or being real
Don't let indifference steal what could help you
Or someone else heal

“Let all that you do be done in love.” — 1 Corinthians 16:14
A spectacular quote if one praises the lid off
Love doesn't always relate to romance, but can reflect similar attributes.
Such as care, understanding, and gratitude.
1. Care.
Sometimes, doing something for someone or an institution because we choose to.
And
2. Understand
By doing so: we are possibly helping them and more so,
We can embrace
3. Gratitude
Because we like the sensations we receive silently, by sharing our light. Through inward acknowledgment.
Wouldn't a mindset like that help one to ascend?
(A "pious platitude" refers to insincere or empty talk about religion or morals, often used to appear virtuous or moral without genuine conviction. Source. Google)
UNSEEKING SEEKER CONTINUUM
The Seeker can never be
unseeking for what is
sought is forever seeking
stillpoint is continuum
neither end nor beginning
membrane is not
holding woven
for what weaves loosens
then leaves
space expands then binds
twenty four into forty eight
at the middle disentangles
unmusically gently
three from two is enough
for now
as six is a resting point
overlapping spirals
fountaining colourless
In
order
to ascend,
ego must die
but are we ready
to extinguish desires
and all our aspirations
related to habits nurtured
by this body-mind apparatus,
which we deludedly assume is us?
It is clear the fault line is ignorance,
knowing not the truth of our being,
eternal love and light and bliss,
it would be prudent to pause,
shifting from head to heart,
in time stretched silence,
that thoughts rested,
our soul shines
in heart’s
core.
I am a Lightworker. I am a Soul Poet. May I ignite your Divinity and your Soul Purpose. Our Soul language and connection is beyond words and Worlds.
Take pleasure in your Ascension
By Michelle Morris

I ignite the spark
The Divinity within your Soul
You can't help but feel me
My energy blesses you wholly
I am a Soul Poet
I am a Lightworker
Our Soul language and connection
Is beyond worlds and words
May I ignite your Light
Your Soul Purpose and Joy
May I uplift your Frequency and
Inspire your Enlightenment Voyage
Because no matter how fleeting
Our Souls get to connect
The effects will be everlasting
An experience you won't forget
Even if your Mind cannot conceive it
Even if your Heart denies it's happened
Your Soul will carry the memories
Long beyond this current life and circumstances
And as a Soul Poet
My Journey I'll share with Humanity
This unique Lightworker Way
That creates Peace in the Insanity
May you be blessed today
To encounter Spiritual blessings
May your Soul feel Harmony and Joy
And take pleasure in your Ascension

Courage is not fashioned in One's mind
This language unknown to the Ego's eye
Courage pours from the heart
Only the blessed are given the mark
Endless oceans of cosmic truth
Rushes forward to carry One through
Exponentially I rise
Releasing my temporal guide
Stepping out of Earth's formal dress
My body holds no regret
To soar seraphim high
With the Angels
As Am I
