I go to nature,
To heal.
Mother Earth rocks me,
With her gentle rhythms.
Solitude in my womb,
Replenish lost energy.
Expansive air fills me,
Stretch the vessel encasing me.
Truth outside of conditioning,
Found in biological forms.
Emotion must follow nature,
Reason guides behavior.
Quell my rage,
Center my soul.
Anger sharp as a knife,
Protection in the world of man.
Existential dread
Tighten and paralyze
Compulsive soothing
Fear of unknown
Embrace darkness
Lean into terror
Mere mosquito bites
Perspective rendering
Many realities
One death
Ego dissolution
Loss and gain
Flow forward
Pack up this life
Leave the extra
Drop the pain
Choose wisely
Only love
Can be carried off
Into the afterlife
Rapt with attention,
Slight movements draw the eye.
Activities endless,
Passing moments astound.
Vicarious delight,
Perched at the sill.
Curious kitty,
Tail twitches with anticipation.
Big wide eyes,
Narrow pupils a sliver.
Desire tauntingly close,
Glass cleaves separate worlds.
Television for kitties,
The world is a show.
Dimensions unknown,
Peep through a window.
Eyes cast downward,
Cool observation from above.
Narcissistic delusions,
Dimensional ripples of pain.
Extend out compassion,
Flailing helpless creatures.
Drowning in sorrow,
Oceanic floods.
Emotional intolerance,
Dysfunctional regulation.
Pictures glued to sockets,
Ripped sticker residue remains.
Occupy the mind,
Present in the body.
Astral planes explored,
Cultivating stillness.
