memo


Did you feel it?
That I love you.
Now and always.
My heart is your heart.

Our hearts are connected to the
Global Heart that is beating.
Hurting. Crying. Celebrating. Growing. Expanding.
A heart can do many things.
It beats evermore. It remembers.
We are all humans and are more the same then we are different.

The heart is strong
The heart is wise.
It will tell tales from truth
It will follow it's own strength
of you.
Of me.
Of all hearts. In time to come.

the two brothers


the two brothers walked
the two brothers talked.
there was silence.
worry spread over their faces.

one spoke the other listened.
more silence.
they changed positions so the other spoke
and the first one listened.

heads put together.
the sharing of nods and mood.
assessment of the situation
that was very grave indeed.

a conclusion was reached.
a proposal forged.
the moods lightened.
smiles came out as lunch was served.

blessed be

(for Margreet)

departure time
is timeless, although the death is timely
and soulprints are left on this earth
stored as memories below

walking her story on her ground
it had reached the final paragraph
and today, the epitaph.
I remember.

I recall the days I stayed
at your farmhouse for a number of days
and we spoke most..
in silence. The days I see as sunny.

You came to visit me today
and you looked well and are so happy.
Now that you are reunited with your love
and can walk your dog in peace once more.

And we weep not for those
who leave their bodies and continue
on the greatest marvel of a path
that stretches out in all directions. All at once.

Blessed be, lady of the woods.
I may see you again, another time.

the sword


the sword of Damocles hangs over you
yet you do not know it's tale.
What peril will befall you?
Prevail again you shall regardless.

beyond the sound of strife,
of old opulence and decay lies
the shining horizon of freedom,
thus hunger not to retain material gain.

splendid is she who can release the bonds
of angst and need. As required they are not.
He can speak the mind but needs to hold
the heart close. With your kin embraced.

fear not as you shall be 'fine',
as they say in this new world of being.
Walk the earth and be free to sing
your new song. And reborn in kind you shall be.

heart in my hand


It's okay
You don't have to do anything
Not say anything
Just be yourself with me.

I am tidying up
old remnants from my past
Seeing glimpses of what might be ahead
carrying my heart in my hands.

Many are afraid of pain
of the emotions raw and deep
cutting and piercing the skin.
I feel them inside as old friends visiting.

It's good to remember,
as I have done before: that all things pass.
The experience is always released,
old heartache transformed to joy once more

I depend on myself for support
I hold my own heart in my hands
I feel love is given to me
and am strong. Every day.

Goodbye


You talk
yet there is nothing left to say
Only things I have heard before
Like a washing machine left on the same setting.

I feel horrible for feeling it
but notice I haven't missed you. At all.
And it makes me sad for what once was.
But only for a moment.

I rather rejoice in what is, then what is in the past.
Everything has it's own time. This time is mine.
I wish you well and am now saying goodbye.
Feeling blessed with everything given to me.

grey mass

the grey mass
is not so grey after all
colour abounds there where neurons talk
spinning in a vast space of being

why consider it random
when it's hardly that. You do have vision,
direction, aim and fire in you,
in your head and in your heart.

the grey matter and the red matter (nerd speak)
ignite thoughts again, connecting stories
into being
so was the thought first, or you?

Mojo


Once the mojo is lost we are no better then zombies. Last Friday my mojo came back to me, they were drawing themselves bless them. They keep talking to me. It's a funny thing.
It's very simple: inhale goats. Poop love. Voila.
(This is the real life Nerada by the way..)
anyway... more to come:
Heh.
Relish the mojo, canoodle it with all your might. Then let it wonder the world.


Note: all drawings by me and only transmittable in public with prior written agreement. Thank you.

Pain


(for Reatha)

I drown out my own trembling voice
My child listens
she hears my cries
in the night. In the day.

And when the minutes slowly roll
by, the view turns a different shade
I can't see.
I can't feel.

Any warmth seems to have left me.
My heart has gone out.
Like the fire in the living room.
I poke around in the grey dead embers.

Where my vision once held me.
Comfort is now something of the past.
I close the curtains.
And think of my mother. And the blanket I hold dear.

How do we do it?
How do we cope with times like these?
Darkness creaks. My child is silent.
She brings me a drawing.

I look at a big yellow sun.
A cow. and a dog.
The pig roams the field happily.
There is a horizon. And us.

I put that drawing in my heart.
I make a new fire for us all.
Don't preach to me today.
Just keep me safe. Keep me warm.

Chicago


whatever drive and focus there is
another energy will push against it
yet duality is dissolving
and more people are
accessing the clouds.

sometimes we wonder why to
defend anything
or why to yield to someone or something stronger then us
especially when we feel it's wrong
and we seriously don't want to. Not anymore.

in Chicago strangers were
holding hands in the street
marching together and singing, of all ages.
Police officers were ordered
to restrain their views and their hands with force

yet the fiercer the commotion,
it forces the issue and more things to escalate,
those burned with pepper spray or hit with batons
are to be seen on social media their stories racing
through the Cloud untouched, spurring the sleeping to think.

a story only has meaning in the light
of what meaning you assign to it.
 Your perception becomes the version of events
and what action you take or do not undertake as a result,
it will reflect your true self to the world at large.
