     Hamas lit up, Gaza smolders

Such a dull life, as permits
One for to dream through!
In budding to be admired
Warmly kissed, desired

Magnolia reflects, wintered
For shut-in worldview
Stilly rapt, what for beauty's
Growing sense does please....

Trying to remember
a time
when I could hear
"this is just to say"
without the taste
of plum juice
on my tongue.

I simply cannot look
at a rain-coated
wheelbarrow
and not believe
the weight of the world
rests
in its reflective
red, surface....

However, there are impediments
This scavenging for deeds of strength
hung shrubs 
These appear to be bone fragments
poised to catch fire at any time

I'm having difficulty explaining why I'm realigning. utterances directed at ourselves. 
alters one's worldview.

Need
to step
back.
Wound 
tight
we are.
spun up
from birth.
Force fed
all we know.
Everything 
we know
from one 
tiny place.
One mote
of 
spacetime.
Self important 
are we.
Self important 
we think.
Controlling,
manipulating
changing the
world. 
Other ways
exists in
different 
places.
Perspective

Much to
learn.
Infancy still....

TELL

Alternative worldview as I sit on my throne, 
trolleys in the car park only purpose to exist. 
Tell me what is it like to be a pond? 
See a mirror in your smooth serene exterior, 
are you reeling inside under the surface like me? 
Danger of drying up in summer stagnant stinking water. 
Frozen solid two seasons later hard as stone. 
Are you me or am I you?
Fake personality, make believe, make up to hide 
what it’s all about. Smoke and mirrors conquer naked truth, any day....
