PERCEPTUAL CONSCIOUSNESS

Is it a perceived danger in the scent of night 
air that triggers a message to my brain of 
reminiscent horrors or is there imminent danger?

Is there an underlying reality perceived by itself or...

A vision woke me from my sleep,  a dream. Images I feared would return, darkening day-to-night shadows, faulty dreams of time gone by extinguishing existence of mind, heart, and soul.
 
It was birthing in...

"The Magnus Effect"

A whole life in a deck of cards
dealt across the table
in front of the brutally dismissive,
the fortunes of the war worn read
translated glamorously from rock bed,
both with glee and dread, there sits
the Magnus,...

Inspired by the painting Automat by Edward Hopper in 1927.

The fractured imprint of Cassandra remains; 
burns bright; pounds at the gates, silenced. She says,
	"Keep Quiet, your words have power. 
Say only, "Let me be an instrument of your will, Lord."

(my acknowledgement 
to the loose canon of Robert Frost)

An above average snowfall
heavily swathed sage heather 
followed by substantial unusual rainfall
punctuated months before, during and
after the growing season

delivered one of the
most hearty crop yields
in living memory...

The most easily seen during a total solar eclipse, 
But it is also observable with a coronagraph.

Strong ionization in the corona state 
And a plasma temperature in excess of kelvin,
Much hotter...

Somewhere on another world 
in a far away galaxy,
Intelligent life forms built a telescope,
so powerful our planet they could see

I also built a similar contraption
then maxed out the zoom,
Now I witness these same beings

Keep silent.
Don't whisper a word.
It soon will be turned against you.
Keep smiling
Of course, it will hurt
But helps to avoid the brainstew.

(You know, they're all Blind!)
But stay away from every mirror,
Assigning
Each and every line
To One,...

Now I witness these ETs observing earth, but...

The builder of the Devil's workshop
Polishes her tools with each sweat
got from the pains of her slaves in chains.

They accept her comfort
in exchange for her dominion.
They sign their own doom
just because the seal looks attractive.

On  daily  basis producing  their hyperactive  arms 
For their better-offs’ less automatic alms:
On lucky charity, therefore, badly dependent,
With things not looking quite resplendent.
The word ‘Pauper’ fitting their circumstance,
Year after year, not...

Referring to something beneath of all else,
the subtle hidden divine unity dwells.
The effect of something without explicit in itself,
laws of nature in non entities by herself.
Grounded beneath quantum underlying reality,
making the multiverse individuality explanatory.

It’s so important to practice what you preach
Although you might not realize you are at fault,
Self-examination appears to be beyond your reach.

To the elusive, and then to define.
Foraging for roots that are fundamental,
To their infancy and our bottom line.

Infinite wisdom found it interwoven with space.
