Independence

Independence-
Hypnotic illusion, absurd intoxication
The more I enjoy the more I feel subjugated!

Premium Member Go Be It

when thoughts ebb
ego dies
clear light dawns

that that is

Premium Member Who Am I

to know truth
disappear
become it

he who seeks
exists not
save in dreams

mind of heart
when awake
is the Self

Premium Member January Elfchen

             January 
      encourages gains;
      The clock strikes 
      you hear the word
              ‘new.’

Premium Member We are dying

pollution 
shrivels lungs
a slow death

we’ve abused
Mother Earth 
now we pay 

from afar
an angel
softly weeps

Premium Member Silence Please

one two three
keep counting
then lose track

exhaustion
is a way
for release

simpler is
be quiet
bliss fills us

I Am Here Waiting

I am here
in a farm
in the cold
in Yaldabaoth’s charm
waiting for Christ’s arm
I am here

The Other Side of Me

Invent a wish
to be happy,
reverse the contradiction
of my fear and I love
in the same way and manner
what I mean ...

An abstract trick of the eyes,
I thought I saw you again.
A word in my mouth just dies,
frozen by what might have been.

a door left ajar~ not open, not shut~ the quiet posture of a reason we’re still trying to believe

Took a bite of me.
Chewed a while and spit me out.
Left me in a mess.

night folds its wings around your quiet breathing~ a silver hush drifting through the doorway of sleep

Foxy

we were laughing,
the fox and me, 
After I asked him why you lough? 
"The big gorilla is trying to be foxy" he replied.

Premium Member monk mode

bliss suffused 
emptiness 
is the norm

we look not
in the past
or ahead

all that is
is this now
where we dwell

Things For Long Life

Doing something that is:
  done with joy 
  done with love 
  done with sincerity
Makes us live long 
and happy life.

I'd turn the other cheek, but here's the thing
that cheek's been slapped before, and there's the sting

as harsh toil drains existence
the loft of moontide invites
sweet assurance from eve’s flit
cradling my  own space
