Interior Pathway

…we tow feelings, while challenged by existence, somehow waving back at ourselves: such endless shadows, such faint regard, where emotion determines responses: our inner terrain, our shifty perceptions, while deep feelings are involuntary....     ...we appear serious, we shift our compass, where something gentle seems strenuous: our backboards watching, our passions heaving, if but this inner strength: those voice-overs, those sound-bites, or this vehicle presumed as Reality: those capital agendas, those suppressed appetites, while seeming indifferent….        

…we envelope insistence, our persistent mornings, our resistant evenings: those daily rehearsals, our weekly charms, while alienated from experience: or too involved to sing, where life is at terms, or existence seems decoded: but anger looms, born to humankind, this force giving life substance: those wintry galaxies; those rioting aches; or time by minerals….     I looked at reflection, this resounding map-war, where occurrences are battling for mirror praise: to find such indebtedness, or indelible heart-pegs, where life has taken its form: while nibbling pineapple, or pacing clouds, as one removed from squares: such is tic-tac-toe, or a week playing our souls, at courage to take a shower: this meaning in resistance, or something watching, if this something resides internally.     It was years at flights, accustomed to disagreements, or favored for something passive: this dance with inevitability, those showcase destroyers, or porcelain chimneys: such romantic soot, or charming smaze, while consistency remained aloof: this tale here told, concerning longevity, where Love becomes dependable habits: that fair claim, even with its chaos, to know by familiarity such reachable interaction.    

…we pause cautiously; we summons creativity, or settle for universals: this slant in reception, those appealing sights, or this range of devil-may-care: those tall buildings, this edifice of uncertainty, where insistence becomes by seesaws: this up-life, or perfect interaction, while tumbling through existential rivers: this young self, those old tendencies, our playful spouses: to reinvent our receptors, to have that warm location, or at times, feeling deep curiosity: if but to re-adorn, if but to symphony softly, if but to doodle in our memoirs: those solemn experiences, this solemn existence, at solemn beliefs….

I speak to something latent, but alive enough to sense, where deep joy is shadowed by presence: this force in humans, this essence in religiosity, or this inner person: that watchful magnet, this vigil receiver, this aloof quarterback: our song sung sternly, or seconds to loosening diligence, or moments at vulnerability: our responsive souls, making others conscious, while indulging in rare encounters: those esoteric tentacles, those spiritual lullabies, or this rich insistence: at turquoise hills, climbing with grace, despite, such inner resistance: to be in seconds, to dance in moments, or to reflect and sense this loosening belt…our feelings at oneness, our selves at consciousness, while onlookers are experiencing sameness: those impetuous thoughts, this uneasy feel-good, where coffee, pen and pad, and semi-courage seem delightful: this sullen-joy, this sullen mountain, this human predicament…while normality appears conscious, and disorder appears unrehearsed, insofar, as determining suppressed behaviors: where anvils seem needed, and gavels seem appropriate, especially, where utter chaos is demonstrated: this Judge in souls, this diligent conversation, at faces with something unlike ourselves: those dark inclines, or such murky marsh, to realize our design is quite with purpose.                            

Empty Space

    I’ve been in this space before—it seems natural, the affection of energies. Such interwoven moods, a series of underpinnings. A differen...
