transient

intransient

presence

perception

imperception

still

not still

fleeting

lasting

so is the rumination

of the mind upon the world

when

your life

becomes a battle ground

and time

seems to be running out

be not afraid

stand your ground

and shout

your name out loud

and in the echo

you will hear

your soul’s reply

and that will be

why you are here

in the here and now

and why you should stay

in even the hardest day

linguistic wars

are raging

in the cold froth of glamour,

economics and disaster

external wars are just the diversion

Barbie,

born in 1959

has had over

125 jobs,

although many are glamorous,interesting

but not good for hair or complexion,

….not a good role model

for work, stability

and identity….

all these young girls

that play with her

will end up hating

the barbies of this world

abundance is everywhere

some of it illusory

mostly though

abundance

is within you

and is not the

same as wealth

or becoming financially wealthy

there

is the moment

in which

all that you are

and can be

is ready to be formed

can you catch it

in the

gap

between

what you

perceive

and

what was?

the first steps

that you take towards

becoming a human being

are those when after stumbling

you get up and walk forward

these are the first steps

forgiveness

changes

everything

are you courageous enough

to forgive

moon rises

over the dry serrated earth

the last president of the united states

reaches into her handbag

and pulls out a packet

of  thin cigarettes

and a bottle of nail polish

old things from the old world

she lights and inhales

plasters the gaudy red upon her nails

her hand look like bunch of cherries

around her lie the remains

of her staff

the smell of the nail polish hangs in the air

she can hear it coming

like the rushing wind of her childhood

but she knows it’s the sea

when the moon rises,

she thinks, all of this

will look like a big lake,

she inhales

the air goes cold

the wave isn’t far now

the day the earth tilted

in the kernel

of your thoughts

in the fulcrum of your identity

in the supposition of your personality

there is an emerging consciousness

that seeks not to know or have

to acquire or dominate

but

to

Be
