Hazy Acres

To begin

What a challenge 

Then in rest while wanting more

A challenge

Swirling expectations hang out like an old blanket 

What the hell is this place

Where did this all truly begin

My perceptions 

Developed with an anchor from other intentions 

To get closer to the center on an edge of understanding 

Why do anything 

For what reason will it be done 

Then you’re laying there trying to change the moment 

A fight in your being 

I have to get here

I have to have this 

I have to do more 

Foolish child never listening 

How tricky when you begin to see all is stable 

And then that becomes an issue

For the creature who shares space with your soul 

Ambition running full spectrum

In the clocks going around and around 

The points lighting up within the seconds 

Waiting for you to move 

In all forms 

But I’m tired of moving 

Home is here now 

And when the mind shuts its gaps 

I see clearly 

Feel clearer than before 

There is no more to be done 

Unless it all feels off 

Like hammering in a crooked nail 

Broken handles still do the job 

Warped and broken 

Use duct tape 

You’ll have to cut me down to bone 

The mind is not driving this scene 

It can be held like a piece 

You can throw it up in the air 

Playing with it like a purple ball

Or let it hide under the covers

Protecting its abundance 

Hide from nothing when all is where it is 

Own the cycle 

Even when the rapids take you down 

I miss things 

Forget names

Places

Times to engage 

Every challenge is false to what is

And there’s nothing else to do 

Reframe the searching with a laugh

Looking deeper in your own eyes

Clean the mirror 

Become the rightful being 

In its sliver on the large bubble

Billions of other bubbles under the water 

Floating by with a wave from inside

Choose your own adventure

Just don’t erase your work unless it suits more work

This collection is a canon of experience 

Magically crazy enough to try 

Dig the trenches 

Laying down to feel the worms

As you bury yourself for awhile 

Breathe through the earth when it begins

The moment when you see yourself fading away 

Arrest it with bare hands 

Move on 

New frontiers outside of the next valley 

Build a fire watching deeper

Smoke signals and ribbons for those that are not yet there 

And gratitude for those who came before 

It all communicates
