Rituals

Wonder

Along the inner mind walls 

Roller skate the ramps 

White turquoise

I wonder

Wandering about the possible 

Hands lightly touch the reaching leaves 

Bark

Airplane arms 

Robot walk though the grocery store 

We laughed like school friends 

Growing up faster and faster

Oat milk isle 

They graced me with hello 

Wondering in the mind 

Felt like a big yellow bird holding a sign 

Proud they said 

I accepted their kindness with honor 

Giggling child in the other room 

Soft music moving through home 

The sun gently rising through the glass 

Windows open 

Fresh air 

30 plants dancing seemingly still 

Until you see new life 

Yesterday travel to a small town in a world filled with randomness 

Kick the ball 

Soccer 

Never random in the universe 

Switchback again and again 

Hurry 

Pause

Rest

Press the grounds 

Aroma am 

Vanilla Chai 

Mix it up 

Messages coming in about plans for another time 

I sit and wonder 

But what about now 

Choose to sit and take it in 

He reads a book to my farthest left 

He looks up fun things on his computer to my immediate left 

Just to be 

Be here 

With them 

My true loves 

Children of dreams 

When the lights blink I will reach up and hold it all 

Let it all rain down in the letting go 

Certain passages like letters for the storm 

Potent diatribes 

At the kitchen table gifted by my pal 

Good human 

Kind heart 

Pretty existence  

I wonder though 

Still wonder 

Yellow flashing lights 

But I can’t yield just yet

Even though now is ever present 

The imagination soul runs the wild hungry 

A thirst experienced best through being an example 

Weird 

Odd 

Different timing 

Attack with mighty winds

Goofy pawns 

With the awareness to choose 

You 

I am ok 

Will be 

Have been 

They walk through the market 

A unit collective 

Altruism hearts with free samples

Trust overtime appears 

Birth hologram 

Over the next line a field of music 

Words captured in the moment

Recorded for the world 

This is me at that time 

Improvisations building a story 

The realization there’s always the choice to make and give it all 

I placed it here so you could find it and know me

Know that I am alive 

Know that you are important to this map of mine 

Timelines 

My sons will discover truth 

That my intentions are truth 

And just maybe it will release them 

From societal programming 

Organically developing their own thing 

I placed this stone in your path for you to see 

To stop for a moment 

Witness 

I am a witness to you 

Seeing you 

Everyone 

Witness 

Feeling the unspoken 

Believing in the collaborations 

Gently I wrapped intoxicating nihilism in an old raggedy blanket 

Rich with history

I dug a hole under a friendly tree

Started a morning fire 

Lit a stick of sandalwood 

Said a grateful few words

You served a purpose for me to see what I need 

Spiritual literacy 

Belief in a larger idea 

You gave me courage to go far to the edge 

To keep going as my body screamed 

Painful as it was 

The bright magnitude of light imploded the cold realms 

I learned a lot from you 

You will always be a moment of time in my life 

And I will never forget it 

But I have moved on 

Picking up the blanket 

I hold it one last time 

A million memories rush over me 

This is the end of the road 

The end of our time 

Honoring who I was before 

To believe in who I am now 

I place the philosophy of nothing in its grave 

Slowly covering it with dirt 

Close to where I buried chickens from the old petit urban farm that once was 

Smoothing over the hole 

Balancing 

Leveling the edges 

I sit on the ground and wonder out loud 

Alive in the shadows 

In the light 

Everywhere 

Alive again

Open
