Sinews like steel traps,
Contracting and expanding.
Rhythm of movements
In fluidic four-four time;
Black stallion racing the wind.

darkness
delusion, insentient
fearing, craving, contracting
ignorance, tamas, wisdom, sattva
embracing, healing, flowing
spatial, luminous
light

contracting thought forms spiralling
strange habit this, trauma bonding
whilst choosing void of cessation
tranquil calm ushers elation
exiting ego spawned craving

Cathie refers to you sweeties as Jack's ladies
But she should definitely include all me mateys
Also love youse guys
Right up to the skies
Sure a lot better than contracting rabies

concealing and revealing
contracting and expanding
the pulse of life renews
game of hide and seek
the joy of union
anguish of separation 
which nonchalance views
as unending celebration

element of surprise
each breath’s prize...

Shrouded in imaginary fear
Consciousness contracting
Illusionary demons sear
In dark shadows cowering 

Cause being our attachment
To that that is impermanent 
Self blocking bliss contentment 
Stagnating in gluey sediment

an event precipitates
all options seem to lose
in as contracting heart’s joy
as yet immersed in the transient

our soul rests in the vibrant void
witnessing the ebb and flow
nonchalant to outcomes 
for life is but a dream

Energies

Boundless and contracting..

Apparently most of us

Live the contracting

Fearing the Boundless:

The energy we Are..

The contracted matrix

Brings pleasures..coupled

With a nagging pull..

The pull is the Boundless

Call from Home......

it's not a decision.
it's a happening.
it's like contracting fever.
you don't decide that you want to have fever.
it just happens to you.
just let it be.
i have silently decided thing.
so i accepted silently and i felt good.
as i think you felt it too.

Picture perfect, hollow inside 
As contracting fears heart deride
Our trauma bonding with ego
Aspect clinging, loathe to forgo
Oscillating thus, side to side

soft murmurs of the heart concealed
allowed not the soul to be healed
contracting its heart day by day
yet displaying persona steeled

bleeding hearts see blue skies as grey
sit beside them, for a while stay
offer a healing transmission 
touch of love, warmth of a sun ray...

a heart contracting thought arises
we know it should not but it does
it is delusion of course, we know
because we know truth of Self
yet we are anchored in form
did not Jesus too cry out
when he was crucified
our anguish is lesser
yet it does exist
so we weep
and pray
for light...

Gentle rain shower looking beautiful
until the roof starts leaking 
Egoic indulgence hardly seem harmful
until we feel ourselves contracting

We first build up the momentum
and then upon realising seek undoing
The sway of the pendulum
takes time in again quietening

When it comes to your happiness,
Debt is a terrible thing.
To owe and not be capable of paying
Creates a terrible heaviness in the heart.

It is wonderful to have the things you want,
But not at the expense of contracting 
Excessive fear.
Being in debt is worse than artichokes o pizza....

As contracting fearful thoughts creep in
we look at the ego urgings
with astonishment being of foreign origin
illusionary images spewing

Thought forms that we allow admittance
signal correspondent affinity
for porous emptiness of joyous innocence 
throbs with bliss in continuity

sinful acts committing 
shallow desires feeding 
stupor bliss throb stifling
seeds ego spawned spewing
soiled thoughts heart contracting 
stance needing correcting
soul requiring cleansing

our fickle desire
pursuing shifting goalposts
cause of suffering

fear mirrors desire
contracting our consciousness 
cause of delusion

detached nonchalance 
aspect embrace-hold-release
vibrant emptiness 

when head melds with heart 
bliss continuum ingrained
in both form and void

Eloquent in nature

Unique in design

Mother Nature working in a mysterious way

Father Time helping her along

No existing data, unable to define

expanding or contracting no confirmation declared

Inclusive in evidence

Possibly alpha and omega

Unimaginable size

Searching for answers

On the universe.s design....

gollible Green gulping
rustic rays reeling
salient south smirking
purpled eyes pouting
dismembered rays dancing
callous contractions cupping

fallible fate fostering
per rays contracting
into green garlic

raped red remonstrating
fetish finger pointing
la-de-da luck lurching

though twain be! 
One's is our tree!

Selling uranium to Putin through CFIUS
Made less social sense than contracting syphilis
Unless to grow a Global reset chrysalis
Aiding American transformation abyss.

Putin may well employ Wyoming yellow cake
To cower Europeans with nuclear bake
Candled with cancerous cumulus mushroom clouds,
Granting his covering Ukraine with a death shroud....

Specters of the night,
Come in the shadows to creep
Across my walls, hovering
In empty black air;
How they terrorize my nights;
Expanding, contracting spooks…
Shape shifting ghouls who,
Contort as if they appear,
In wavy fun house mirrors.
I must put a stop,
To their vile and twisted dance;
I must avoid watching news!
