A thousand years
interned in a dungeon
Through time
i have finally stacked up enough stones
to reach the barred window
Climbing up the pile
i look out
past the bars
upon the outside
for the first time
and have no idea
what i’m looking at

Ω
Walking in a circle
revisiting each step
again and again
Ad infinitum
.
Ending and beginning
in the Chasm
Highpoint of memory
bottomless in despair
.
If if virtue is gold
my soul is poor
each revolution
refilling the pit with debt
.
In it collects the runoff
of apprehension and fear
as a cauldron of doubt
and crucible for folly
.
yet at the edge again
by my choice
i bring myself
wan and bridgeless
.
Though after the crossing
as i emerge and walk yet away
am i really leaving
or beginning the trip back

The World
was once round
Then Man
Shaved off the edges
Making it square
so it would fit
in his Machine

Φ
For long now
I have watched
Many
Rail against
So many
One
Will question
Their brother
Question their elders
Question their leaders
Question their culture
Question their world
Question their god
Question life
Yet too few
Have i seen
Who first
Question themselves
Φ


≠
It seems to me that
when one is lost
All directions
lead toward the Wrong Way
Burdened with aimlessness
An individual may find comfort
in their present location
Hanging the ‘Home sweet Home’ sign
Yet
When over the horizon one can see
A destination,
Do All directions then lead
To that goal

I can’t get high
Or should I say
Nothing gets me high
Anymore
-
Alcohol helps me not care
But only for a few hours
I never feel anything good
I only feel numb
-
Weed doesn’t do it either
It may help me get away for a while
But upon returning i find
The world hasn’t gone anywhere
-
Stress pills are a complete joke
yeah they give me a lift
But only up to the Factory approved level
Slowly destroying the body
-
The hard stuff
Screw that garbage
Even the wandering blind can see
A shovel helps dig six feet down
-
The T.V
I don’t want enslavement
Babies who see it before they speak
Die of cancer on an assembly line
-
Love?
Ahh, the reason Why
But i’ve never had trouble with Why
It’s How i can’t get my head around
-
The wood shop sounds good
But the only reason i’m in there
Is because I can’t afford a contractor
So it’s really only more work
-
The hobbies couldn’t do it either
The many hours & dollars of work
Over these past years
Add up to Zero success
-
The days of celebration
Not even close
Either no one participates
Or i’m busy with someone’s problems
-
Music is the closest so far
Mixed with an open road
Driving 85 mile per hour
Singing as loud as i want
-
But that only lasts until some jackass
blocks the fast lane while passing a truck
doing the Factory approved speed limit
For what seems like rest of Time
-
I don’t want my fire to be big
I don’t care if it warms anyone
I don’t need it to last forever
I just want it not to be pissed on
-
It’s been put out so many times now
I can’t feel any heat
Even if there is plenty of tinder left
I’m having a hard time finding my flint

A Happy New Year to all.
Light & Laughter
Creation & Openness
Warmth in Solitude
Peace in Friendship

If you have read
Then you know
Of the White Bear
He is my
Judge, Jury, & Executioner
Never haunting
Only condemning
Though years pass
Between sentences
Always do I hear
the clap of the clawed gavel
Rending my Fate
Now again
I stand before him
Not once
But twice
I am
To old to Fear
To tired for Angst
Poised in Trepidation
In dream I walk
Through a forest glorious
Finding upon a turn
The Demon of the Scale
He feasts
But not on me
I may pass
Unchallenged
Into a field of Light
In a dream I stand
Inside a room
Before a door
I open
Egress blocked
Progress halted
Crowding me
White Bear Cubs
They sought me
Found me
Together we are
Peaceful
I have sought Balance
Have I found it?
