~Subliminal~
*
How
Mindless are we~
Blind-stepping into the
Damp of cosmic moss beneath
Our feet~ This nighting is how we
Are threaded amongst the stars to
Sing with constellations…How
Mindless are we~ That we
Have become unnoticeable even unto ourselves~ Our
Watermarked passages appear only between the
Pages~ Here, solitude is the flowering of
Stillness making love to silence~
Bearing no definition or
~Dimension~
*
We
Are
Strung
Only by senses
To find perfection within the
Abstraction~ A call to consciousness
Lest we be stillborn into a galaxy of closed
Eyes~ The nature of our divinity is revealed
By subliminal soul-utterance~ A soundless
Vibrato of bodily music where the notions
Such as coming and going become
~One motion in the same~
