~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~
