I’m trying to solicit solace
Facilitate a flawless way of being
But the motions are weening and wavering
Fluttering like the wings of beija-flor
Flower kisser
Hummingbird
I try to listen to the word of goddess
But I’m restless in my distress of being a perfectionist
My expectations are high so I lean on my relentless drive but
Nobody seems to see it so I try to sit quiet
And let my ancestors lessons filter into me
& so I keep having these dreams of a serene state
where I contemplate everything and begin seeing it is nothing
No. Thing.
But then I wake in this body in this bed in this house in this city and I am
Surrounded by things
Why can I breathe under water and turn staffs into snakes only while sleeping?
I want to wake with my power, bring it to work with me
Ride my totem wolf down the city streets but the beat sleeps in my bed
and waits for me to slumber again
I try to reproduce it with my pen but it dissipates
Throughout the day my spirit mates with with ideas
Flirts with the fantasy of truth
And youth leaves minute by minute…
How can I balance?
Coexist with cars and computers – that hummmm-
Electrical and maniacal turning people and the botanical planet into cement moment after moment
This dent in consciousness has to be banged out – override the doubt
Now how might we go about that?
Perhaps looking at the moon and not being afraid to howl
Perhaps watching the formations of birds and joining them
Yes join them you have wings
Those things that itch beneath your skin
They’re masked by terms like freedom
A beautiful term don’t get me wrong but
When’s the last time you found yourself belting a song walking down the street
Not afraid of embarrassment making a beat on a newspaper stand
Or just lived completely and fervently from the rhythm of your soul
When’s the last time you let yourself lose control & found gratitude in chaos.
It may appease us as a mass western culture to leave our dreams in bed but look around
we are becoming the walking dead led by the dollar & material possessions
Stressin’ because we don’t have enough…
What we lack in actuality is community
ADD culture brought to you by streamlined ads and annual fads that are
born dead still born but you can still be born anew
That’s why im talking to you so we can get it together
Lets dialogue then dance and make ourselves better
Healing is a thought away
Love is a choice
Now please join me while I OM
