Freefall
Bungee cord secure;
My eyes saccade below me,
Screaming as I plunge....

this water gets me lost
the vibe and consumption soothes
me carelessly stuck.......

twirling swirling leaves
dead foliage in freefall
logs ablaze in grate

Parachuting has its advantage – Freefall!
Flying, screaming, scareder than ever prior
Chute won’t open!  Now I am coming, gliding
Hope MY chute opens!

Gonna walk to the edge of the world
leap far into space-----freefall through time 
and place on the body of a feather---eyes of a 
newborn--a heart of gold   guides tranquil
spirits toward enlightened thoughtides of
unconditional Infinity....

Snow fell from a tree
And a thought came to me
Maybe don't hold on so tight
       - Let it be -

Freefall in the daylight
A soft, quiet, landing
Seek the new impressions
to be found upon landing

I’m waiting out the day
with minimalist hopes
and recycling anxiety.

I’m waiting for the hour
for a smooth transfer of power
or for things to go sour.

I’m waiting for the word
after a period of counting
for freedom’s call
or an accelerated freefall....

A dark and empty template, a conscious friction,  echoing silently within the void, the unknown anticipation of 0 to 1. 

Trillions of spiralling embers, scattered in freefall. The consequence of divine loneliness. The internal workings of infinite energy.

Stay unified folks
unity is evil's freefall
our division is its wings...
media is the devil's voice box
a charred pox to serenity.

Debate with open minds
pray with a pure heart
never be bullied into silence
Within this fragile fold
hope stays aloft 
miracles are born... gilded....

Homeless 

 

Like the hawk spiraling 

On a downdraft; 

A suicidal freefall 

Crashing through rented rooms 

friend’s couches, to the dirty floor 

And finally here, in the street 

Wearing someone else’s clothes 

Standing on a corner at night 

In a city I do not know...

Freedom fighter Fickle Freddie's
forced to freefall on foe's field.
Freddie flirts with foe's fetching filly.
Fickle fighter falls to "friendly fire."

Explosion / Implosion,
caught in the din

Forces once pushing,
now pull from within

The physicist cries,
as the mockingbird calls

To see past tomorrow,
today in freefall

A binary motion 
of polar extremes

All consciousness split 
—dark hole of my dreams

It could be...
So far from here
The distant light
So faint, to me
 
I carried so much of you
In my heart
That I could freefall too
 
It could be...
So many things...
Running free
 
I carried so much too
In so many different ways
In a locket of you
 
I could be a midsummer night
A moon ,bright
An evening star
This is me...

Falling is easy.
Tripping over caramel eyes,
Cascading down a smile.
A blur of loveliness in freefall.

Stumbling to the floor,
I land at your feet.
I dare you to meet me,
But you stand straight,
Perfectly balanced.

To be loved,
And love in return,
Is a dream
I’ll never sleep to find.

But I will continue to fall,
And you will never catch me....

foam that will blind me
chemicals that will call me home
freefall so expensive
i can only afford to live

food that will hurl me
ingredients that will point at streetlights
vomit so extensive
i can only afford to starve

money that will hitch rides
mint that will lead to a stuffy nose and blurry vision
inflation so intensive
i can only afford to dream...

I desire to engage in a freefall with my Lord God
As He's the gravitational force propelling my heart
And as I parachute towards this journey called life
May my chute have been packed my Lord Christ
To ensure that I land safe and unharmed
As I  freefall into His awaiting arms
I won't let no outside interference affect my trajectory
For my eyes are focused on my God given destiny...

Epiphanic thoughts
Erupting violently
Odd Conceptions
Chaotically dance 
Within confines of mind
Rendering indecision
Empty answers
Sallow questions
Sluicing freefall
Over bottomless precipice
Panicked emotion
Building pressures
Rasping hard
For control.
Descending 
Through austere winds
Terminal velocity
This raindrop hits
Exploding silence
Upon my forehead
Calming…
My Everything...

We’re losing America
  while losing our minds

Our spirits in hiding
  our souls hard to find

The nation in freefall
  all fingers to point

One side at the other
  common values disjoint

We’re losing America
  in front of our eyes

A narcissists poison
  our heritage dies

Each part is now greater
  than the sum or the whole

What our patriots died for
  lost, forgotten—untold

ELEMENTS of DOUBT.

    Storms growing restless, impatiently squall.
    As thunderbolts rake, grey cloud leaden skies,
    Raindrops and hailstones, released to freefall.
    Shrieking winds screech, Armageddon's war cries.
    Summer lies bleeding, enslaved by it all.
    With flora and fauna, striving to rise,
    Nature survives, to enthral us again.
    Time's a great healer, when sunshine soothes pain.

north
rises,
creative
bursts of glory
Napoleon’s dream of faroff campaigns
chaotic scribbling, flamboyant plans at
the speed of light
all night long,
unused
sleep

south’s
freefall,
energies
once great, abate
under inescapable gravity,
black hole of suicide-ideation
predicted, this
nightfall of
Jekyll’s
mood

dip
into
the sugar
addicted brain,
amitalkingtoofastforyouagain?
justdon’tcarewhattheysay--screw the Xanax
i’d rather feel
anything
than be
numb...

I had no idea it was love I was falling in,
But through the freefall I saw his eyes,
And from the eye of the hurricane we stood within,
He saw through my every disguise.

He bent my will and lit up my sky;
His thunder silenced my fear.
Coppery clouds have me wondering why
His violent storm makes my eyes see so clear.

Broke me and fixed me, he promised to carry
My burdens tattooed on his veins;
He was the thunderstorm in the valley
And I was the girl who smelled like rain....
