Complex, capricious, capable
Rebelling, bending, absorbing 
Brain, neurons, lobes, ideas
Wiring, firing, connecting
Interwoven,flexible
Fascination...

Why stop now? Look past the obvious.  All night out. Non-stop conciousness. Oxygen 
between cigerettes.  Once again I'm a drunk mess. Less is more unless you're wreckless. 
Pedal to the floor they'll never catch us....

Like it has been said before "A dream within a dream"
Again has brought me back, back to this rippling stream
No wild life, only trees, no wind
Just me alone there with my sin
OH! How unlucky I am to be stuck within

The branches here leave 

no shadows where doubt can creep 

infiltrating your conciousness; reicinirating your grief

Here, your inner consiousness makes up its mind

Your soul less curious, your mind is at ease 

Remember what you came here for

Beneath the Bodhi tree...

There is a theme of graciousness
in your bearing that freely flows.
Your heart exudes true thoughtfulness.
There is a theme of graciousness
that imparts from your consciousness.
The more used, the greater it grows.
There is a theme of graciousness
in your bearing that freely flows....

As I float thru my dreams of love. I feel my heart beating saying let go and love. Breathe a new day and a new life and just love. As I float thru my dreams of love. I hear my conciousness saying just love with love from above. Love freely and unconditionally. I hear my soul saying, fall in love...

I cannot think
Of the words to describe 
All of the hurt 
I feel inside

Insanity
And sadness
Self-conciousness
And madness

My tortured heart
All my pain
Can my hurt,
Be your gain?

Will I someday find the answers?
Or will everything stay a lie?
The only thing I know for sure
If this keeps up I will surely die...

Ripe tomatoes in the supermarket
The red tip of my own nose.
Their lime green imagination
Marauded by Edgar Allen Poe.
Her silver dollar face raises hellfire
Says the stringy girl who believes in ghosts.
Goodnight to the lucky cat
Who kisses my cheek with his prose.
Her calico hat sticks to dewy grass
While the hooves of the lumpy deer carcass doze.
The weight of dreams lifted off my shoulders
By the kiss of conciousness on my nose....

Where the sunlight will stop
Beneath the teal waters
I only see reflection
From under my dripping roof
Spinning through the currents
I fill my lungs with foreign habitat
Concealed in my cocoon of corals
Safe from a predator
Just trying to make a living
Further to drop 
Through clear backdrops
To the next stage if being
Down and down
Deep in the black
Conciousness will pass
Without a second glance
I sink in the mystics
And hide from the shores...

formidable contemplations flow over me like a sea of realization
satisfaction takes hold like the roots of an oak tree
a flash in time opens up new doors of focalization
a mindset changes slowly like a group of passing clouds
hope becomes destiny
destiny becomes actualization
actualization becomes a memory as soon as it is concieved
spirits within link us to an infinite realm of fulfillment
break down walls and open your mind to a higher level of conciousness...

Self-Consciousness


White noise surrounds us each day.  We do not even hear it over the din of living.  Life is noisy, a constant barrage of sounds from all different directions, in all different pitch.  A phone, music, loud heated discussions.  The very moment I get an answer wrong, one can hear a pin drop.


“A pin can be heard”---
Dropping tinny to the floor
Why is it so quiet?
          

                                                               Sunshine Williams...
