  • The Traveler: A Poem

    This one is dedicated to the time traveler… may you find your peace.

    A strange detachment settled, light and deep,
    After the letting go, the endless weep.
    The old connections, fraying, snapped, and fell,
    And in that quiet, new perceptions swell.
    Now, when I meet a soul, a curious shift,
    I feel a time traveler, blessed with a rare gift.
    Stepping into moments, brief and undefined,
    With all the past and future left behind.

    Each face a fleeting glimpse, a whispered age,
    A character upon life’s endless stage.
    I see their hopes, their laughter, and their stride,
    As if from centuries, I’ve stepped aside.
    A momentary presence, here and then gone,
    Observing life’s procession, from dusk til dawn.
    A gentle current, through the ages I roam,
    No longer rooted, nor truly far from home.

    Now when I walk, the crowd’s of fleeting show,
    A timeless journey, watching currents flow.
    Each face, a story, briefly intersects,
    A curious glance, the moment it reflects.
    I sip the laughter, touch the casual hand,
    A transient guest within a foreign land.
    Observing nuance, learning silent cues,
    The human drama, with its vibrant hues.

    But there’s a distance, finely, keenly honed,
    A quiet readiness, perfectly owned.
    No rooted branch, no deep, entwining vine,
    Just quick detachment, effortlessly mine.
    I am the traveler, seeing all unfold,
    A story witnessed, gracefully untold.
    An observer always, poised and ever free,
    Never quite of the group, just watching, me.

  • Let It Be So…

    The ink bleeds secrets tonight, a dark mirror reflecting truths whispered in shadowed corners of the soul. It speaks of monsters we wrestle, native terrors coiled in the marrow of our being. “Transform the monster,” it urges, not slay it, but shape its darkness into a vessel of light.

    For even in the abyss, life flickers. Every cell, a universe in miniature, vibrates with the echoes of creation. Our wounds, far from scars of defeat, pulse with a strange vitality, a testament to battles fought and survived. We are alchemists of self, brewing our own elixirs of resilience, each breath a potent draught.

    No separation exists between the finite and the infinite. We are threads in the grand tapestry, extensions of the divine, our minds the loom upon which the sacred and the mundane intertwine. The body, a temple of whispers, houses a symphony of nerves, a trillion stars woven into a constellation of feeling. One faltering note can silence the entire orchestra, a reminder of the delicate balance within.

    Yet, within this fragility lies boundless potential. We are not defined by limitations, but by the boundless expense of our being. “Undefined…whole,” the ink proclaims, a paradox that sings of wholeness in the face of mystery. Healing is not a miraculous exception, but the birthright of every soul, an inherent rhythm in the symphony of existence.

    Let it be so. Let it be natural as breath, as heartbeat, as the turning of the seasons. Let thoughts blossom into words, and words take root in deeds, each act a prayer whispered into the vast cathedral of existence. For within these fragile vessels, we hold the spark of divinity, the power to transform, to transcend, to become the very medicine that mends the world.
