The Silence Speaks

"The Silence Speaks"



Listen, 
the Silence speaks
to Souls that listen

Stranger things
have walked
before the cold distance

wars and plagues
hell and money exchanged 
the fires that have been burning

but no one has truly listened
seen or heard the signs
greed overtook gravity

we were all on 
Our Own Mission -
weren’t we?

Here
We Are, 
"IT" is

"Now"

spores flying free 
in the skies

kissing lips
touching skin
borrowing within

burrowing 
within

and the air 
we breathe
we breathe

"IT" in
we are touched
madness in the mirror

we become 
greed and fear
the good and evil twin

separated hearts
and families
on another plane 

Ghosts speak
truth when 
the day turns grey

on another plane
respecting silence
and turning to what’s
 
Within

but in the dark
what we need are 
the watts within

Too late?
Or do we now begin?

Dark Night 
All souls waiting
waiting for the Light

waiting for 
The Spark
to speak

Open minds see
this is the lull before the storm
the true path of this blight

is yet to be
borne

Too late?
Or do we now begin? 
We are all together 

In Dark Night
blood-red
sanguine 

What is within 
is the strength to win;
But what is within?
 
Love?

Strong, it is 
we begin to understand
it’s might

The Silence
the silence speaks 
another language

foreign it calls
pathologically we fall

Within
We look towards 
each other

The strength 
to find
each other 

To Begin.

Premium Member Practice Makes Resilience

When I mention my morning meditation practice,
many respond with wishes and hopes
they could
would
should discipline themselves
to also join in to this practice
practice
praxis
until fragmented uncommunicative ego/ecosystems
finally get life resiliently realistically right
more than ego-narcissistically wrong.

But this,
I ego-think and eco-feel,
reverses what is a more centrally profound point
of ZeroZone cosmic-organic view.

Everyday life is already our active meditation
which we Win/Lose unpractice,
Business As Usual LoseLose dis-practice
praxis
until we hope to get us egoWin-ecoWin
interdependently healthy right
more than pathologically diseased wrong.

dear dad

hey dad,
it’s been a while. thirteen years and six months  if we’re being precise.
i write your title a lot nowadays 
‘dad’ 
but you dont know me
i’ll introduce
my name is emry grace henderson
im fourteen, with blonde hair and green eyes (which everyone seems keen on commenting about- i think the gold flecks are from your amber ones)
i love music
love the sound of strings vibrating on a flat surface, haunting melodies
(or in our case, Irish folk songs- though i suppose you wouldnt know that?)
I’ve missed you- though i suppose thats also a bit of an understatement
im not sure i understand you
understand why
no matter how hard my grandmother explains
on a sunday evening
although ive heard we are pathologically similar
(i wouldnt know)
how are you?
what are you like?
ive a vague outline of you
faded and blurry, yet as vibrant as autumn in virginia 
(i never did tell you about that trip did i?)
it’s good to get this out- im not sure i could speak it aloud- ive a way of fumbling the words until their unintelligible, 
only understood by the leaves that shake in the wind, by the hummingbirds in the skies, by the black bose i wear as a grounding element
somedays i wonder if this was ever meant for me
do you feel like this?
(from what ive heard you collapsed under the weight- i hope not to)
they say we’re similar
though bitterness kept me from acknowledging this truth 
i hope you’ll meet me someday
when the voices are less present- and you are free from the weight of this world- because i’d love to finally meet you.


Premium Member Placebo - Part 1

"Placebo - Part 1"


Deals with God?
I don’t think that is possible.
Depends what cards you’re playing with
and what the trade off is
do you bluff? or 
play it safe and lose all your tricks?

Let’s talk about SIN, 
it sounds delicious 
but once swallowed
it comes out just like everything else.
The thing with Sin is,
it’s a bit like diarrhoea,
depends what you’ve taken in 
and how much has tainted you
pathologically, i.e. 
Virus, Bacteria, Parasite? 
A little diarrhoea, with the right prescription
easily blitzed.
If it’s totally infiltrated your bloodstream,
well, you're cactus really.
It’s the gift that keeps on giving.
I call that, with regards to Sin -
Divine intervention. 
For a severe case as that,
you would be required to be kept out of reach
and monitored on a daily basis, away from 
passing on the contagion to anyone else.

If you’re locked up in a small room
and the toilet paper rations run out -
it can get real messy.
Particularly if your room mate’s in 
Prison Greens, is twice the size of you
and a Psychopath with a propensity
for knocking your head into the wall 
whenever you ignore him
and while he’s at it, takes the opportunity
to rub himself up against you – he’s 
marking his territory….
and well, you’re at that point where 
you’re thinking,
“Do I bluff? Or play it safe and lose all my tricks?”

At that moment, it’s a safe bet
you’ve lost all your tricks.
And you’re thinking, 
“This ain’t Protective Custody, 
where’s God in all of this?”

Moon Frogs

Amphibian antiquities from the age of normalcy 
Pathologically festive creatures of the night
Verdant phosphor moon frogs bark their insistent mating call
Adorned with talismans, chanting mantras of maroon heroism 
Conflagration of croaking becomes ritualized war of tongues
Imaginary walls dissolve in a primitive hallucination
Reveling in the sour, smoky breath of temporary lobotomies
Delirious mating rituals driven by besotted blind instinct
Hopping from one log to another as they founder
In brackish muck, the shore hidden in the velvet mist
As thousands of concealed pupils hungrily constrict
Like squirrels bouncing blithely down the high voltage wire
Deaf to the jeers and taunts of the pavement below
Until light's fracture pursues them back to their lairs
Scurrying for the inky, viscous holes in the soft, cool bank

Premium Member Maturing BiPartisan Passions

When you hear plans for reactive justice
do you also listen for responsive mercy?
Or are you more likely to feel merciless revenge
against uncivilized behavior
swelling vibrant adrenaline 
thrilling your self-righteous bloodstream?

If revenge is your best defense 
against chaotic complexities of bad mad behavior,

If punitive humiliation 
is this justice by disgrace
you deem responsible,
comfortably live by,
protect and defend,
then you will be an often disappointed,
and disappointingly ineffective,
parent

And would best and brightest stay far away
from anything in law enforcement,
militarized defense,
courtroom dramas,
and gun permits.

Advocates and defenders of justice for all
are deep lovers of intentions and behaviors
good healthy humored
seeking our not so bad, sad, and mad renovations 
of white-washed purging rituals 
including Society's eco-political purifying rituals,
obsessive-compulsive demoralizing ruminations,
ruinations,
rambling echoes of great and small transitions
quaking Earth's moral indignation
steeped in Anthropocene rape cultures 
and pillage histories
of patriarchal justice
without matriarchal mercy,
much less Eartheatrical peace.

Justice without mercy
is like believing in love 
without practicing peace

Like trying to restore a moral climate for love
without a maturing polycultural life
engaged co-empathically together

All guilty of anti-Earth transgressions 
against compassioned innocents 
of most every unmerciful violence one might imagine
inside inhumane uncivilization

Until we fall Anthropocene bad
sad
mad
unglad apart

To reweave yet another new inter-re-ligious 
brightest and best day

Without such long LeftBrain EitherFor/OrAgainst
pathologically punishing shadows,
unmercifully thrown survival of the fiercest apart, 
not yet fully grown Anthropocene together

Mature sacred and organic
mind/bodies

Anthro/Earth-Tribe polyculturally thriving
merry mercy co-passion full 

Maturing polypathic peace 
EarthJustice regenerates.

Premium Member Wealth of Health

Is life truly good healthy wealth
because I wanted it to be that way,
or because it truly is good health wealth
that we all want to become?

Yes, probably both.
And the reverse might be pathologically true as well.

One Elder saying
less often found in wisdom literature
than versions of Golden Rules and Ratios:
"Never harvest more than half."

This self-taking acts both ecologically
and analogically
as a Reverse Golden Rule.

WinWin ecopolitical and psychological
positive optimization of health outcome
rules and ratio estimations:
Never ego-take
more than half of what you need,
want,
prefer,
believe is your right
in cooperation with Others' competing rights.

Golden EcoPolitical Rule, Corollary:
Always give back and re-invest grace received,
at least half,
with WinWin gratitude.

Because the healthiest, most robustly resilient, flexible half of ecological ratios
is LeftBrain Both-And blind and mute Yin 
co-arising dipolarity,
bilateral co-intelligence 
of yin plus yin equals yin times yin
and, thus, yin-squared-fractals
are equivalent to holonic-holy-sacred double-bound octave harmonic Yang,
4Based geometric thermodynamic dimensional
linear and symmetric plane balance,
the enculturing landscape
where Yang remains contented
timelessly with always re-investing in RightBrain Yin
as Mother Earth
has ego50%/eco50%
re-invested in creating ecopolitical you.

Is life truly good healthy wealth
because Ego wanted me to be that way,
or because EarthLifeTribe truly is good health wealth
that Ego wants to continue becoming,
conjoining,
dipolar co-arising
WinWin?

Life is up to half about how you choose to play our relationships
with you,
but the remainder is about which ecopolitically ruled and ratioed games
we have learned to play,
WinWin global species democratic
or WinLose nationalistic 
patriarchal dominant,

Premium Member Fascism's Uncertain Patriotic Ring

Fascism has grown cancerous maturity
to pathologically enforce
what mere nationalistic military-industrialized supremacy

A Half Crown Is a Semi Dormant Loaf

Left over overspills are a typewritten error and a grammatical code of which there is no collision of nouns, verbs or adjectives. Descent described design deriving dug dirt. And a soil no shine. A voided coloured counting ball is many balls on cruises to oil lakes. Found in farm grounds. Sluice then slice slice slice. But thrice times an angle in a wailing tree is nit a crystallized orb nor is it a hyperlink or a cycle of cubic measurement. Mature mo frozen italic of thought to a paper in the mind. And gathering although hazardous is another feat to match the toes of soul. Anatomical wisdom rattle. Shake shake shake. And a smiley snake grimaces at very tight reeds to pass to get the kill. Good. Greedy goblins grabbing gestational genital garments giving going gravitationally. And in addition to this a wide mouthed toad sits on that cake over there. Good. Fake that freezer pop.

The Third Christmas

"The Third Christmas"



IF I had thought about where to begin, 
I wouldn’t have begun. 
This is the story of us.

A family goes through the war zone occasionally,
intermittently, say every ten years or so 
or possibly a minor tiff each year
over a Christmas re-gifting 
or a prodigal unwanted 
sits silently, mouth closed,
crowding the wanted
or an over zealous family member, 
commencing with good cheer,
destroys a precious moment,
thanks giving becomes
an alcohol fuelled debate
an argument for living 
all forget the forgiving
silent night becomes
kristallnacht 
pathologically
fear replaces good cheer

Some families are an entire War. 
Politically sewn and sold, egos bruised.
Years can be swallowed up 
in strategic artillery campaigns
Who comes
Who goes 
Quiet assassinations
Back seat driving 
on the right way 
Home 

The Third Christmas
How to avoid being again.

Just so you know
you are not alone

Decorate the Heart with Snow

Anatomical Complaints of a Lover

My eyes you conquered with the might of Alexander,
Puru I gladly became at that thunder.

My heart a plaything became at your hands,
Unconditionally surrendered I time thousands.

My lungs hyperactive emerged at your sight,
Panted I with delightful fright.

When you approached, my feet terribly trembled,
From limb-mind configuration, courage I assembled.

Your presence made me feel neuron-quake in my head
Producing dew-drops of perspiration in the forehead.

Sharp-tongued am I with the gift of the gab,
Alas! Your sovereign presence rendered me drab.

In my constitution, you caused an adrenaline rush
I think, I trod the path where angels fear to rush.

You took a toll on my veins and blood,
By making the red humour flow in streams of flood.

In Geography on chapter Egypt, you made my attention cursory,
Elective Maths became real elective, making you compulsory.

You made me forsake the empire in me and the books,
To be the Columbus of the empire within fine frame yours?

You made the atoms of my physique
Pathologically you-sick.
