Premium MemberWhen You Wish Upon A Star

(“Under A Swirling Sky”, 2013, original pen & ink and acrylic)

When You Wish Upon A Star

When you wish upon a star
All the other stars watch and listen.

And in the silence
As your mind moves
They turn to stare.

The dance then shifts and turns
Adjusting to the ripple
Your little effort brings.

And opening there,
In the space above,
The space 
Where wishes

Forgotten Life!

Forgotten lives! Lives! In the cemetery of a graveyard.
Loved lives. Remembered lives, be a diamond in life

In life! Asking you about a forgotten sad life; can’t kind
A memory of the names of humankind. The Story Kind

Yes. Death can be human life, passing of the life of Life
Forgotten Lives! History of the story of humanities’

Eyes of God

Maybe if I close my eyes long enough
this will all just disappear.
I’ll wake up to the eyes of God and
his voice whispering in my ear.
A dream,
this life, can be so cold and cruel.
A dose of awareness here and there
isn’t quite enough to soothe.
Far away I wander
through valleys of the mind,
to ease my curious wonderings,
to slowly

Emma, it was 2020. You get on the Watford train, platform one to four
I don't even know when it was, the track was rapidly receding, gone
The desire to have you be known and close to you in the car, maybe there,
Your anarchic being hesitatingly collapsed into my soul and into my mind.


Two dry flowers, only

Premium MemberA River of Gold

We once, in another lifetime, walked over the 
River Seine.
Do you recall that, sweetheart, when all in life 
was to gain?

Boats with colorful lights, wished our futures
be joyous and bright.
In that lifetime, not really long ago, in dreams, 
you held me tight!

Is life but a dream, or a reflection of that which 
I dearly cherish

Thoughts On a Seeing-Eye God

Sayonara, Arrivederci, Shalom, Aloha, they all mean the same thing, Right?
or 
Not?
It depends....
And whether you're experiencing "Jamais vu"
Or "Deja vu"- you will of course, have
a different reaction.
Emotions run the gamut--
that seems to be the attraction,
but underneath the skin, the veins 
it's in your blood,
your DNA,
there's an imperceptible something,
 absolutely something there
-ReaL-
you can't replicate it in

Premium MemberPast Lives

In a land far far away,
In between time and space,
I see you for the first time,
I notice your eyes, those beautiful eyes,
The grace with which you move,
I will always remember that about you.
The bus jars me awake.
As I leave, you look up.
Our eyes meet I feel the desire,
As if you pierced my heart.
You walk up

Past Lives

my judgement opens from space. islands inhabit this elegant territory. true, as if planted by god’s palm. it’s rests nowhere else. lives and eye’s, roamed here for centuries. expired here. bones are in divine locations, not discovered. rafts of bamboo carried these waters. sculptures of the heroic warrior’s in the star’s highway at night. they

Premium MemberLessons From Past Lives -- Ct

I smiled when I woke from my dreams
Vanquished is the dark tormentor
My dreamscape has refreshed, it seems
And the nightmares cannot enter

From Native American brave
To a mystery woman’s grave
In past-life regressions, I’ve learned
Not to be overly concerned

When I woke from my dreams, I smiled
The dark tormentor is vanquished
It seems my dreamscape has refreshed
No entry now for

A Place Where the Past Lives

Each of us has something to remember,
We build our own homes for the past,
And there are a lot of rooms in this house,
It will hold all your past.

This is the room where you were born,
But you don't remember anything about him.
We remember our childhood more or less,
But, of course, we will not return it.

And now

Soul Journeys

Soul Journeys

My dreams as a young girl, of a man,
A lover who gently strokes my soft skin,
A great longing from my past for the future, 
Sometimes so overwhelming with the sadness of loss. 
My life journey and destiny already in place,
As I search once again in this new lifetime.

We came together again at long last.

On Dreams, Past Lives, and the Soul

A few weeks ago I had a dream wherein my Chinese wife dyed her black hair blonde; then I woke up and told her I had just dreamt she became a blonde. Well, she was a bit indignant, saying 'Why would I ever do that?". Then I woke up from THAT dream, into this long

Past Lives

PAST LIVES
By Mark Miller © 11/12/2016
Marching boots upon unspoken graves, 
As Censor taunts intrinsic states
Fleeing the dusk fear panic
To covet are ready many facade-.
Fallen past through people driven hosts,
Who file mechanical figure holes
Coffee Coffin breaks bewildered illusion 
Of empty cubic selves lying deception
For hubris stance feeds apathy
In the living struggle pride 
For the whole man's
