Be Yourself

Don't hide the wealth behind your eyes,
step outside into the lights.
Ride the waves, feel the currents,
taste delight.
What is saved by your deference?
What is spared,
by your indifference?
What's more rare than independence?
A universe of pure coherence,
vibrates alone,
while your transcendence,
leads you into corridors of stone.
Sees you freeze upon your knees,
before the worldly throne,
of those most apt to recreate,
the warmth and comforts of one's home.


But whither home now?
A fleeting fixture in my memory,
grows weaker,
of something like a family,
something dear to me.
Simplicity gave back,
what infinity took from me.
The babbling brook of a stream,
gave me beauty richer,
than the colours of my dreams.
Fresh butter cream,
was more nourishing,
than all works of spirit.
The voice of love cries out inside you,
if you'd only listen you would hear it.

Awakening

Golden light warmed my body, beckoned my eyes to open. Open themselves, to Sol's penetrating sight. Forcing his way through the smallest cracks, in my curtains. Golden showers, from his big beaming face, nurturing Honeysuckle, Jasmine and Rose. Fragrant aromas floating, through my windows, blown by gentle breeze, into my nose, teasing me to leave, my comfortable repose. I deeply breath, put on my hemp underclothes, sourced responsibly, assume half lotus pose, then transition to tree. Opening my heart wide, to receive energy, and divine inspiration, I descend to my knees. Meditating until, my mind's in a trance, the world becomes a stage, and my routine a dance, that my body flows through, like a channel of love, aligned to higher powers, directed from above. ~MStJ

Things

  There are objects all around me. A roll of thread. A green glass bottle. A dormant pine cone. There are things everywhere I look, scattered all around my home. Leather bound books. Paperback books. A lifetime worth of books. Dusty, damaged, well worn, ravaged, by these hands of mine. Two mirrors on opposite walls, a ball of garden twine. Two blue weights. A chest of drawers, of rich dark pine. Many pens which often fall, onto the floor, ball points, fountains. A5 notebooks, paper mountains, shifting over time. Two cups in my reach, each stained by tea, one empty. One larger, half full. Lemon and ginger vapours, fragrant, flee, circulate and linger, carried by the steam. Batteries. Remote controls, for radio & the TV, which shape my dreams, with shiny fables. Cables run along the skirting, behind a well used coffee table. Candles, wallet, nicotine, cover it's surface. Earphones and some old CD's. A passport, Watch. Behind it countless things, forgot, and small enough to fa...
