I BREATHE
In the beginning, new to this world
I breathe, and probably cry in shock
Then the search for mother’s breast
Some comfort restored, a life to live
And in the spurting growth of youth
I breathe, with a readiness to engage
As challenges appear on the horizon
To trigger that life experience thing
As hard-won maturity slows the pace
I breathe, partly to welcome a pause
Both brain and heart had their time
Lessons learned, when remembered
At the end, now all’s said and done
I breathe, as if finally sensing liberty
No more heavy armour to be worn
And now feel that lightness of spirit
Sometimes it seems to me
Death is the ultimate anti-climax.
We live in expectation,
but when it comes to us
we’re no longer around
to experience it,
or what we do experience of it
is gone in a heartbeat.
On the way
we pass through all kinds of emotions,
from avoidance and denial
to curiosity and conjecture,
but in the end
it’s one of those things we’ll never really know.
Death of a friend or loved one,
whether human or animal,
is perhaps the life experience
that cuts the deepest,
and yet, when it comes to us
who is there left to feel.
And when we step through that door
what is there left to feel?
(for George - 1/20/23)
The soul is a funny thing the mind a curious thing the heart a powerful thing
together you would think they would make the most perfect of things but
though I have seen moments of pure glorious, beautiful shining perfection
the hours days and months are dominated by monsters alive and well inside
all of us
I can't pretend to be perfect my life was great until it wasn't and I had my share
of bad decisions to make however I always tried to put out good for any bad
put toward me which in true irony brought a lot of hate toward me and that
for a long time weighed on me along with the habits my decisions made
Then I look at the circumstances around these habits and they seem almost
acceptable because those of us who keep are monsters in check or have managed
to only have a secret to hide and not a demon to incarcerate in our soul space
can't understand things that they learn and see as reality we don't fit in, we feel
too much hurt to easy and often leave the world by means chosen freely
that is another way "only the good die young" is used accurately
Now no one who reads this will think they are being referred to, understandably,
but though that is true it is also false because everyone has the hole opened
up at some point in their life where pain suffering or just the lack of diplomacy
manages to rip you open, and you lose some of that naivety and refill it with anger
and negativity that you put out into the world to grow eventually it explodes into
reality rather its still with you is of no matter it is you either way and you cause what
you let hurt you to begin with a cycle that never ends
The Heart, Mind and Soul built through experience in life and learning through strife
so the negativity you let get to you and you don't hold and turn into positivity
contributes to the life experience of others including me so every time you let
that negativity go remember it changes the entire world in that moment you
made the world so desperatly seeking light a little darker and your soul a little light.
They say everything happens for a reason,
People come into your life at the exact moment you need them, some stay for ever, some for a while , some even more briefly.
It doesn't matter how long they stay everyone of them make an impact in some significant way.
Maybe they helped you get strong for a situation or move on from one.
Maybe they shared a big life experience or played a big role in a small one.
It could of just been that smile that you needed as they walked past you on the street.
Either way when they turn up it always happens for a reason .
When they go it can feel really sad like someone has died, or when they are ready to go sometimes you don't want them to so you hold on to them not willing for them to go.
Confusing your feelings of gratitude and love for something bigger.
Until suddenly one day you realise they might be there in body but there soul left long before.
That's when it goes from love to dependency. It's not that they don't love you it's just that their soul has stayed too long, as it more than likely was meant to be somewhere else. But you loved them and didn't want them to go and somehow urged them to stay.
You will know when that time comes, when that spark isn't sparking, when there's no more talking, or making plans together for the future.
When you wake up in the morning no kiss or cuddle and your days are spent seperate not together like in the beginning.
When togetherness is sitting in silence both minds wandering thinking of different things. No "guess what's" or talks of everything that happened in the day.
Sadly eventually leading into "You didn't tell me that", or "Your invited by the way".
So when that soul and yours don't connect anymore it's time to say thankyou and let that soul go on its way.
Because remember there are no coincidences in life, they were in your life when you needed them to be.
So let them free, You both have new things awaiting for you... that will happen exactly when and where and with who it's ment to be with.
Basically everything works out in the end and it always "happens for a reason".
Here's a question for
Whomever may have the answer
Because I am not in possession of it
Neither am i a fan of massaged statistics
And so called experts who them through
The media supply endlessly in droves
But how many young children are choosing
To take their own lives and commit suicide
Today more or less
Than two decades ago
Given that they are told they can be
Identify as anything they want or wish to be
Cancel culture has defeated hate
Racism and sexuality are no longer an issue
And expressing our feelings and opinions
Will set them free and in doing so
Help countless others out there
Who feel exactly the same
And always leads to positive change
Social media and living your life out
Online is far better and a more productive
Way to learn than from say actual people
Who may not have to look up
Have actual life experience in matters
That may be of use if asked for council
Not scoffed at disrespected and treated
as a joke
Which when you yourself will probably
Much later older and wiser become
Will eventually in time as well realize
When your time comes around as it will
That you weren't quite as smart as you
Initially at first thought
When the numbers are all counted and in
And they paint a pretty grimm picture
As every year more and more
They expedientially go up and up
And expose the sad but real truth
That modern day children are being
Forced into sacrificing their childhoods
By being exposed at a far to early
formative age
To such adult themes
They are simply not well adjusted enough
Or prepared to handle or deal with
As it's not only killing their innocence
And happiness in the process
But it's also taking and costing
Lives as well
And yet we tolerate this
Believing it could never possibly happen to us
Or in fact it's ours that could be next
Part of me
Like a spark
I was sparked by life
Cos in it I was abused
Brutalized suffered
Cried and bleed
So now I read the
Plsams of my soul
Cos from life experience it's a
Part of me
Part of me
I was moved by the
Feeling
I wear when I become brave
Cos with fear in life
My destination will
Always be behind
The clock
So I save my time
Instead to waste it
In fear of life
This fear I don't need to be a
Part of me
Part of me
Play me the songs
Of freedom
And I will raise from
The den of death
Where darkness is the
Only force of life
Where nature is
Turn artificial
Cos life is the other
Way around in this era
Of destruction
I let my life be a light
To the world
And truly this is a

The alchemy of truth
may be from a particular perspective
or colored by youth
and sprinkled with objective
For your truth can hold your own view
your lens through which you see the world
And naivety can lead astray
and reality fall subject to that doom
And you may not have the ability yet
to completely read the room
When you don't have wisdom
You have less fear and conclusions are reached quickly
But life is so much more complex
and taken in context its sticky
Was that what was really meant
or did it happen by chance
Was it deliberate inference
or laid out by happenstance
Most times most things are not architected
they happen in real time whim
And though the outcome can be devastating
the creation is less of a sin
What leads to what
and how can that happen
isn't always clear to see the cause and effect
And so truth be known,
good intentions implode
and things go off track on their own
So don't hang the actors with the act
they alone did not write the script, it's a fact
Life is all improv
with a heavy dose of chaos
And giving to much credence to the feelings caused
can ruin what may be right there
A living pachinko machine that happened to play out
that way, this time, here
The alchemy of truth includes the lens - Artimus 9/24/23 (C) Susan Manley
The Poets Curse.
A poet sits alone somewhere,
it’s the middle of the night.
Longing just to find a way
to find the words to write.
Reaching out from deep within
to touch another’s life.
Like a mother touches babies,
or a husband his new wife.
Drawing from the times they’ve known
sharing good and bad.
Taking life experience
and love they one time had.
Putting thoughts in writing
their emotions take control.
Tear drops stain the paper
as the words pour from their soul.
Not seeking validation
for the things that they confess.
What one time was a gift
now a curse that they possess.
Taking others feelings
they give to them a voice.
What once was only killing time,
they no longer have a choice.
Driven from where they once were
to the place they want to be.
Driven from a place within
those in the world can’t see.
Still each time as they return
to reach into the night.
Longing just to find a way
to find the words to write.

The difference
between RightWing political
and economic autism,
and Religious Right monotheism,
has been greatly exaggerated
To this post-millennial tipping point
of monopolistic omnipotence
predicting sacred Earth's matricide
By LeftBrain-RightHand
dogmatic dominance
of a judgmental (straight-white) Jehovah
or a militaristic Allah
or a dogmatic YHWH
or a patriarchal Buddha
or a capitalist Krishna
etc
etc
etc
Made in
anthrosupremacism's
competitive evolutionary
win/lose
Yang v Yin
human v divine
body v mind
predative man nature v nurturing womb spirit
RedRight v GreenLeft
Universal-MonoTheistic Dogmatism
insisting on ego's sacred right
to overpower Unitarian-PolyCultural Synergism
survival-of-fittest v thrival-for-fit-in-ingest,
colonization v creolization.
Wildly exaggerated images,
polarized
partisan
disassociated
traumatizing
schizzy-autistic
rabidly over-populated
weak-X neurosystemic
Defying Yang/Yin resonant relationship
natural resilience
of peak neuro-sensexual
spiritual
organic
love-life experience
LeftBrain totally ignoring RightStrain
while justifying dogmatic divine right
to a manifest EarthTribe destiny
of Hell on Earth ecocide.
