Guarding, Grounding, learning, being, burning
Towards the end of dawn I’m drawn
Looking around, I can’t seem to see right
Finding concentration, foundation, structure
Gravity weighs against personal profit
Hold this energy, shift it and make it work
Burn it all down anyway
Lost in the web of false purity
Entangled by my own sorrows
This pain ripples through the mirror of my mental lake
I am filled with inherent cosmic mystery
My pain is the tool for figuring it out

Blazed

Smoking, flowing, flaming, upwards,
ceremonial burning upon heat of inner work
Inhale the light of the day constricting that part at the deepest spot
Stuck in place I can’t move on my own
Wading through this swamp of living death
Release from within me something sharp
I’ve been asleep for far too long
I won’t close my eyes now
Dormant chaos
Traveling through the inner lands
Extracting my serpentine essence
Tears of rain
Piss of joy
Flowing upwards reveals
My
True
Nature

Lonely

As I look
within myself
See what’s real
And overcome
Longing
starlight
Wrapped in
loneliness
See what’s real
Be beside me
Shadow cast
Towards those
Closest to me
Alonesss
It drives more of it
obstacles
Becoming more complex
created by me
Fixed in
unmovable shape
Gazing
starlight
Wrapped in
loneliness
See what’s real
Beside you
Towards the light
Of self knowing
Beside you
Look over these differences
see what’s real
Lasting and true
Overcome by my,
own orange light

Hurt eyes
I can’t see inside
Wade through the sound of
Hopeless times
Out into the eternal void
Beyond the ridge
Dream of water
Into the soil
Ferns grow
FERNS GROW!
Stay awhile
Be still
Towards the
end of this life
Growing inward
And breathing upwards
Beyond the ridge
Dream of water
Into the soil
Ferns grow
Ferns grow!
//
Between the ferns and the marsh
Alive here in this way
I’d only wanna be with you
In every life
We’ll always find each other
Toward inside
