And when you prove to my
Intimidated intimacy
That it can be revealed
Unbutton
Unwrap
Unravel
So skin to skin
And press
Just holding

First
she was drawing a field with flowers and a stream. she thought it was real. then her teacher came up to her as she was coloring the grass green. she had been filling in the space, back and forth, methodically, attempting to cover any white paper that was peeping through. the teacher said, “does grass grow sideways?” Then, she learned to see.
Non-Profit Prophet
I am a non-profit prophet because I sort-of get it
I’m no sage
… but …
I do know that life is meaningless if
You’re obsessed with matching sets of silverware
Cultivating your nails and hair
And never spend time with your SOUL
I wonder how many people know about the lunar eclipse tonight
The clouds try to keep it out of sight but
I see through them
I zoom into them and float in the memory of the former me
The Sun & Moon become one and my ego becomes undone
I AM the starlight
The flame ignited
The right versus wrong
I am strong now
I remember my first Pow-Wow a few hundred years ago
Under the glow of this very moon
Except it was noon and as soon as the ceremony was over
I bent and saw a clover which breathed me in and released me as Oxygen
I went into the lungs of ALL men and women and for a moment
The world inhaled in unison
There was a Hushhhhhh
On the Planet
When they exhaled
It was this very moment
With the Lunar Eclipse
Kisses on the lips of lovers
Darkness under covers
A hummingbird hovers honeysuckle and time buckles, unnoticed
As a crest crashes in the sea
The former me joins the presiding we and we are the Essence
The past becoming the present becoming the future
While I try to nurture Collective Memory and
Soothe the wounds of denial
Filter through the forgotten file looking for the wings of man
The “I can” attitude, the cure for rude behavior
The savior within the self
I thought I saw forgiveness on this shelf but it seems to be missing
Where did all this greed come from?
When I was young I often spoke of speaking to the sun
I said that’s where my ideas came from
So my Aunt Dot said to me “you must’ve been born here 9 times already”
It flew over my head or
I took it for granted and then
Forgot it for a while until I saw it in her smile right before she left this planet
So while I’m still here I’ll try to outsmart fear
I will not fear being different if it makes me Grow
I encourage you to do the same
Take aim to remain within the realm of intense Adoration
Of every good willed motivation
Of the lasting vibration of eternal breath and the loving of YOU
You are WE, all woven together in the superstring
Which is why you feel me when I sing and
The song crosses oceans and causes motion which makes someone, somewhere,
Hum, or drum, or
Thumb through the pages of
The Forgotten File
And AWAKEN
Rain
The rain is liquid passion
All falling without question
Dripping only to its destiny it oozes in cracks
And smears its way through stones
Following the path created for or by it
It doesn’t ask
It doesn’t know
It only flows
