Pre-history

About the understated madness
Drifting below in the undertow.

You assured me that you
Were an avid surfer who
Knew the rips and the tides.

You knew each cyclone before
It arrived - because you would simply
Stand back and
Watch the seas and skies.

You took your board and rode through
Each and every moment in good faith...

Even as
Perfect waves and perfect
Storms
Churned inside you.

Two faces which belonged
To the same name...
You boldly made your claim to
Your blinding ecstasy and excruciating pain.

You were
Mirrored by the sea...
Each wave was the perfect
Ride - out in an ocean with
Nothing to hide.

Stunning.

Thanks Ciona and Hello

I was hit by a wave of inspiration and pummelled head first into the sand lol... Such is the way of summer.

tumour in humour

Benign tumour which
Controls and
Separates the seas -
Between worlds
The plan was foiled
Something toiled with
The blue.

Something persued
The course of blame
Something was placed
Within the mainframe -
Faulty template which was
Placed over the minds to
Create suffering.

Something left the grid polluted
By smoke and lies
Something fried the
System -
Something denied
The spirit which waited and
Patiently Persisted.

I know the tones which
Restore the land,
I know the codes which
Brings the earth to land at
Rest with the sea -
I know the song which
Anchors the
Renewed with the faulty
To rewrite it all...

pre-herstory...
It was never perfect... But
There was harmony even in times of
Discord - -
The difference was
Patience in the face of
Isolation - to usher in
The presence of
Essence to restore the
Lands of
Desolation.


"I get bored" by Deftones seemed fitting in a mildly amusing way hahahha...

[Ariaecheflame]

yes, ok

In the context of
The east, my Chinese great
Grandfather
Went south to
Flee the opium war.
He became a travelling merchant in
The great southern land
Hoping to restore his lineage of
Suffering - he tried his
Hardest to turn his luck and
Become
A magician of the free...
He died at fifty
In a robbery...
Leaving the spirit
Of his legacy to me.

In the context of the west,
My grandmother traveled across
The seven seas - in the 1920's...
Aboard ships...
Free as a bird, she journied -
First of her time...
Finally to settle
Upon red sands in the
West...
To test the resilience of
The plan,
Tending to the inariable wild
Desert land...
She died fearlessly at 93
Leaving the spirit of
Her legacy to me.

I am a magician to be freed from
The shadows into the light...
So my ancestors like to constantly remind me...
Every bloody night.

Haha...

[Ariaecheflame]

Every note of
Vibrancy gets caught up
In the breeze and travels
Past my periphery, gliding past
My skin!
On a whim... I followed
The breeze back
To where it came from.

Without the dreams from
Pre-history, I'd never have
Remembered those
Memories which
Lingered in the seas.
Atlantis held its mysteries...
Up in an alternative sky...
Waiting for the stars to
Align...
Bringing the two planets
Together was the plan...
Atlantis, just a dream, a hologram -
Just waiting to be remembered
To be re-coded -
That which has been
Historically defeated and eroded.

I think you're gaining a fan!

Unconsumed - a fearless winter tale

Daughter -

It is June -
I wade in
The tidal sand dunes
Under a full
Lit moon...

I am consumed by
Fierce love which
Assumes nothing but
Patience - It calmly anticipates
Wisdom in ease of the
Tides and streams
Forever flowing....
Waiting for life...
To emerge from
The glowing ocean of
Light...

Ignited by
The silence which
Waits to
Reveal itself
In divine timing...
The unknowable birth -
Serves us in
Patience and faith...
The wait becomes
Set in a fate which is
Timeless -

It's pointless to
Ponder such trivial
Things...
Rather, just swim through
The tides on
An all
Knowing whim.

Knowing nothing else but
What waits in
The womb of
Intuitive glowing...
Knowing nothing but
Fierce love showing
Me the way towards
Quiet wisdom
Unfolding in
The all consuming rise and the
Fall of the
Tides...

When the time comes
To shine fresh and
Anew,
Please Know,
Daughter -
That I am
Forever
With you.

I am -
We are
Alive -
Revived into
Flesh...

Hope is
Renewed into
Knowing...
I am here to
Fiercely
Grow the
Ever glowing
Light in me in
Order to nurture the
Ever growing light
In you.

Ciona. Thanks for your support. I hope you are well!

I have no idea what I'm doing hahahhaha....

It feels good.

I think I had a vague idea of where this was going for about 0.002 micro-seconds but it's taking in a life of its own now haha..
It's become its own free entity... A poetic Frankenstein.

Meh... Such is life.

I had an epiphany that this project will never reach a conclusion because I realised its a culmination of never ending stories of presence and interconnection which make up the human experience. So I will end this project here for now.

It seems that all
These unique streams of
Love
Carry me to
Places unexpected...
It is in the unknown -
Where tides,
Where light is free to flow
Travelling lightly into the
Heart... whenever
It seeks out
It's natural home.

It seems that in whimsy
The heart is free to
Move freely
Lending itself to wisdom -
Where everything on
The path glides past
Where nothing but pure essence
Lasts -
Just as it's meant to.

It seems that all these faces
Have commanded something
From me - to be brought in
Embraced and held onto
Only for a moment, ever so
Fleeting...
Defeating every persistent
Resistance - to bring it
All back to
Presence.

It seems that when
Each moment of love is
Embraced... In its uniqueness...
The heart and
Mind open to create
New pathways in an
Intricately
Connected world...
Illuminating fresh perspectives -
For all to embrace and explore.

End.
