The Museum Of becoming
I loved you with both hands broken, offered you oceans cupped in cracked palms, watched it leak, leak, leak, through fingers too battered to hold a tide. I made myself a museum of becoming, stitched old prayers into the walls, hung portraits of the selves I killed to be loved, polished my ribs until they gleamed like pearls, sewed silk into my voice, laced...

before I do
She says she likes me, yet I don't like myself I've yet to be the man of my dreams, yet such to aspire Not one to keep promises to himself The one without peace behind his eyes, an unquenched fire. Waking up unproud of the way of life, wishing to go higher Yet she likes who I am, while I...

Premium Member Aarohi in the Becoming of Agent Aaro
Aarohi, it took me so long to meet the tiger inside me. It took me so long to let the sparrow inside me go. Now that I can sing out like a thunderstorm, I hope that you can hear the determination you come from; I hope you know that you are not a limitation. You are the fearless agent prowling in the...

MEDITATION--A PROCESS
I still myself in the hallowed dream of light and love. In the significant withdrawal of time, holding my breath I breathe in the silence, stillness and sound. I silently dwell in the rapturous becoming Of the unhindered, unbridled emotions--- Holding myself in the chilling sphere of fear. In the gnawing acoustics of survival---- Allowing every ounce of stillness...

Premium Member The Natural Way of Being
(Playful girl in Western Tibet, 2009) The Natural Way of Being There’s a natural way of being And then there is a contrived way Of trying to become. I remember the natural way as a child Simply being, exploring, playing, And I’ve pursued the contrived way Most of my life since. It comes from a lack of confidence When training in the unfamiliar. But if...

Premium Member Becoming
If you get there early enough you will see the wide, waking yawn of first light open on the bay, see the air break into birds and the far shore of the headland emerge from its thick cloak of dark.

Sacred Threads of My Becoming
This year-a loom of unspoken grace Chaos and calm intertwined Peaks stood like cathedrals in the distance While valleys whispered prayers in the quiet wind The fabric of my days unraveled A quilt of lessons stitched in celestial hands The pits taught me the language of resilience Each tear feeding the rivers of my becoming For even in the wreckage, I found seeds...
