Our earthly realm of wonder and beauty
Observing its glory is our living duty
The most exquisite sight I have ever seen
Was a paradise island I have never been
A tiny green dot in the mighty ocean blue
Unleash your dreams and you may visit too
Just close your eyes and raise your sail
You’ll be carried there by a windy gale
I came ashore to electric blue plankton glow
Greeted upon arrival to a bioluminescent show
Beach sand glinted with a hue so golden
A majestic visual treat that left me beholden
Birds of flamboyant colour stunned me aghast
Exotic green jungle so lush, dense, and vast
I discovered an abundance of tropical trees
Many splendrous species, quite keen to please
I decided to dwell there, in a cabin of bamboo
Cruising immaculate streams in my little dented canoe
At night, I marvelled, as the cosmos triumphantly danced
Sitting serenely by my campfire, euphorically entranced
I awoke that morning in blissful peace
For I conjured an idyllic place, never to cease
It exists within my beating heart and my musing mind
Every time I close my eyes and dream, paradise I find

Children of the macrocosmic implosion
grow the seeds of bioluminescent oxytocin
Symbiotic by design, the prana and the potion
That dihydrogen monoxide flow of all word spoken
Existential kintsugi thaws out every heart frozen
and gilds the cracks in every single circle unbroken
Those chosen?
Those awoken here to serve in devotion
with the motion of the ocean
Salt of Earth for the wounds that will open
We, the tides that choose to rise
Open eyes and light the skies
We, the lanterns on the darkest paths
Compasses that guide
So we stay loyal to the mission
Seek absolution of division
Bring the North, the South, the East, the West
a centralized vision
A whole revision, it's vital
A microcosmic revival
Let the ripples make the waves that lift us
out of survival
DIY EMF from inside you
Evergreen that exhales to ignite you
Eat the fruits of the Spirit that light you
and watch the Universe grow to provide you

she was a beauty
maybe she was a he
whatever they were
they were gorgeous
bioluminescent purple
with fluorescent green eyes
they enhanced the solid oak tree
their colors being almost
psychedelic
I wondered if they could make noise
often owls who are this gorgeous are deaf or blind
whoooooo whooooooo whooooooo
they were okay in that regard.
Even their hoots were beautiful.

Owl was unsure what makes fiber optics light up
He pushed back his supper, refusing to sup
I am not going to eat food or drink anything he said
Until I have the answer, lying safely in my head.
He read about quantum physics, and bioluminescent plants
Those reference books will not help him said his much wiser aunts,
They put electricity books in front of him, and arranged them pretty.
He read them all too, but then switched to San Francisco and New York City.
I don’t think he cares about fiber optics, he just likes to learn things.
His mother and father agreed, as he switched to books about kings.
He was reading about steam engines, power tools and other stuff.
Owl is a self-taught lifelong learner, and this is no guff!

I want to taste the new ruffled orange mushrooms Lilly Watt said.
they are known as “chicken of the woods” on oak trees not dead.
shaggy ink caps were jealous, as were bioluminescent blues.
faerie mushrooms danced a jig, found in clumps of two times twos.
foragers from several places headed back outside to hunt the caps
acorn syrup is tasty also said a known forager, Chef Ultra Naps.
faeries scattered as their homes were stuffed into gunny sacks.
said one. Some of these are poison; do they have their facts?

There are people on the other side of the world
Whom I will probably never meet or know
People who will have no idea who I am
There are sights on the others side of the world
That I have read about and seen photos of
Sights that may or may not really be there.
How would I know?
There are animals I will never see or hear.
For all I know unicorns and dragons live in Africa.
It’s not like I have been there or will ever go.
There could be giant crabs in South America.
Man-eating crabs in bioluminescent colors.
I do not doubt it.
I ponder the wonders of the world which I will never see
And I smile, for it is fun to imagine all of them and more.

Bioluminescent Mermaid was created for a reason.
She was constructed during the stormiest season.
We can follow her down to the depths of the deep,
Said a confident sailor, with a wink and a leap.
She was way ahead of the ship, far down in the water.
Her gills glowed so clearly, she scared many an otter.
The divers tried to follow her, but alas, she went so far.
They can see her glow underwater; she looks like a faraway star.

fleeting glowing life
midnight hour when darkness reigns
fireflies frolicking
bioluminescent light
enchantment not forgotten

my dendrite highway glides into spiritual realms
unbidden, unhurried, unsanctified by conscious me
meditative unawareness solidifies into dreams of the dead
bioluminescent shapes and songs form enticing my psyche
I slumber blissfully unaware and yet here is piece of me
The piece I am not in touch with during the daylight hours,
constructing, creating, and misconstruing my next day

I glow in the dark
In my living casket
Foul bioluminescent
Engulfed in the scent
Self-offering present
I'll curb the descent
Corpse waters relent
I'm back at the end
From this I contend
My incessant event

"Light Waves"
we are bioluminescent
a glimmer of hope
stardust sentient
isolated in our fate
from and through the Sun
Light waves
echoes of sound
refractions of once were
transparent
born before begun
drawn back
through the loop
baptismal
on the killshot
towards the
equal
place
the open heart
of One

Captured, beautiful thoughts
indescribable, breathtaking
indelibly branded to mind
enduring, unfaded
carefree summer days
swimming the cobalt ocean wilderness
rainbow fish, bioluminescent
purple, pink, orange coral cays
shimmering crystal waters
invigorated youth
heart skipping beats
crushing on you, following around
tantalizing flames lick along
my mind as I think of before
to one perfect day, a smile
that easy going laugh
you were magnificent
lightning struck my cautious mind
in that moment, I knew
my life would change forever
you were the one
