Premium Member stretching the pause
Just before we sleep, if we dare to leap, in as meld with space, we can see God’s face. For vaporised Self, life flows by itself, aflame and aglow, in staid stillness slow. Dwelling in the pause, Self becomes the cause, as eternal light, birthing bliss delight. With ego exhumed, earth life is resumed, as was meant to be, joyous and carefree....

Premium Member I step forward with the fear that in the years to come, like shadows stretching at dusk
I step forward with the fear that in the years to come, like shadows stretching at dusk, Every word spoken or written will evaporate like morning dew, Like dust carried by the wind or rivers flowing into forgotten seas, My thoughts will scatter with the dawn, silent and lost. I have...

Premium Member In the labyrinth of shadows stretching across the walls of consciousness
In the labyrinth of shadows stretching across the walls of consciousness, we constantly seek scapegoats, like hunters of clouds in a storm of illusions, fleeing from truths covered under veils of mist, where each step is a silent refusal of introspection and sincere gaze into the mirror of lucidity. It is as if we float on rivers of denial, where...

Premium Member We drift on an island of gentle ignorance, surrounded by dark seas stretching to infinity
We drift on an island of gentle ignorance, surrounded by dark seas stretching to infinity, And our shores are drawn in sand by trembling hands that do not know how to read the signs of time, While black waves crash upon the shores of our fragile knowledge with whispers from unknown abysses. Our sciences, poor candles lit in...

Stretching New Roots
When I was strong in limb I watched all unknowing as my body grew its wordless soul. When the world within me plunged into awareness, even though I was depleted, a mere shadow of a broken timepiece, even so, I am become stronger the way a blasted tree is stronger, though to the crooked eye it seems to be rooted only in clouds....

Stretching Time
I wish I could stretch time, balance it out, place it back in perfect design, trying to manipulate my rhyme, Letting my creativity flow through my mind, Yet my efforts vanish like smoke and that’s fine, feeling like I’m god’s attempt to achieve perfection, when expectations hides behind my eyes, You don’t see it, I know,...

Stretching Away From Self
This cyclic-round-wheel-gyre-chakra bound business of humanness - such an unnecessary habit. I have stuffed my mind, I have put on brown leather shoes, and nothing else in the world puts on a brown leather shoe more willingly than an over-stuffed mind. Later I might identify as a sleek black cat and though I might not meow or have a tail I will be pliable, stretchy,...

You know those stretching machines peasants once booed? I could use one because I would be svelte like a giraffe then. I am willing to pay whatever, I have money and lots of food. The only thing I don’t have is the desirable look of the thin....

Premium Member Stretching Health Care
My oldest friend, and older, too, has a daily yoga practice of self-care, which I would healthier emulate. But, when I mentioned this as rich in comparison with my own brief leg stretches while tube-feeding my son, and occasional too brief dancing and jumping with my cerebral palsied daughter, He responds to my neglect of self care with self-deprecating acclaim for my daily investment in young adult bodies inhabiting wounded child...
