Eternity Just Fell

Why don’t you rage Siddhartha.
Rage.  Ah.  I suffer.
Jesus of Galilee, why don’t you fight back.
I. trust
Prince of the sands, prophets of the Sun
Peace is offered to this gem
Flowers are sprung, but who notices

So…
why do you not rage?
Only the hermit polishes his stone
while the madmen rushes the marketplace
in search of their…(insert  here)

Diogenes, perhaps you can provide an answer.
Leave me alone.  I have no purpose with you.
And you, 21st century digital man, what do you think.
I think not.

Where is this going then…
When our heart is below in the valley and
our mind up the infinite mountain
What can this be about. Who am I.
I rage and I suffer and freeze and stare.
This is not what is promised.

Well, let's go on a trip then.
The masters are on the hunt for the seekers.
This old soul is in exile.
Phantoms count seven out of four walls.
Inspiration got caught in the spider's web.
Concentration has fled the scene.
Not sure what the next station is actually.
What was all that religious reference before.
Red dwarf's are failed stars.
What is so fascinating about Caligula.
The shadow of humanity and our swan song.
Fear only causes slumber.
Break.  
An artist said 'you can make me scared'
There's a decade waiting in that next word.  
Truth is written down.
Love is gifted.
What is received.

Wait.  No.
Breathe.
Breathe.
Breathe.  Listen there.  Here.  And Here.  
Patience.  Which is not found in books.

Guard that voice and focus.  There is the seed.

Eternity just fell.
You know what to do.

I Am Born

I am possessed with fear but fear refuses to guide me.  Or I do not listen.  which voice is it speaking in? which language.  which colour?  or direction.  or tormenting plunge, pull, and squeeze.  compression to the point where the train will collide with inevitability.  a ghost will face annihilation for the newborn.  love escapes the blackhole and asks us to stay.  a gong casts off your shadow, destroys the steps through the valley and eyes cast on distant mountains.  there was that moment.  fear did guide me there.  love brought me here.

Relax Into Death

Relax into death
For this life is fought right now
So, eternal bliss

Warrior Poet

No sweeter air then after the
penance of a piano note,
cascading chords and the fate of Atlas.
Tears of a warrior
How does one caress delicate
Strength and Love
