Ataraxia

A sip of what you dream about,
truly the reson you feel alive.
Abstract confection whipped up
rising with each shut of your eyes.
Amidst the splinters of reality
xanthic views pursue dominance.
Imagine a vivid blue visionboard,
alter that state of consciousness.

Ataraxia

Writing this I must be doing
This I love I must I love it must
Why?
Heh, the words melt into nothing as they say
Can’t understand it anyways
The papers scramble and run and wait that’s not supposed to—
Ah yes the letter? Yes, the letter
Pretending it is all fine when it isn’t
Ha
Still, I don’t understand what they say

Ataraxia

Note to self: In observation where there seems to be nothing there, there is 
always air.  Even without matter there is something for instance light waves.

The spirit of the Divine in me seeks the Ataraxian mode of living  
Although I long for air in my lungs I keep bumping into tables and chairs,

Ataraxia

Slicked back panther of pride
News of the town in which you reside.
Fall to the ground, gently but swift
Release your ego to fly quickly adrift.
Muddy your palms in the wake of the morn
As the person you were is carelessly torn.
Crawl to the well and give her your due
The bird that now walks forgot how he flew.

Ataraxia

Ah !
Peace
Peace apart from all the other wishings
For it
And other dreams
For the world
To be set
Within its balm

Peace
Would be known
If she were not so denied
By those who cannot spell out
Her sanctuary
Or rest from her a single syllable
For themselves

Peace
Apart from all the other wishing
Would be
To sit without words
Listening to the voice of the world
Next to her
Peace indeed
Found

Let me hear wind's voice
     When it dance with grace
          Upon the leaves of the trees
