what say you

what say you

synonymous realities

stretching the fabric

implanting wrinkles in space

and time

we look to the surreal aspects

of our lives

wishing

in lieu of doing

should we be molding

folding

condensing our greater selves

into the finite

which we call night,

or expanding

demanding

soul reveal its self

unto its self

unto life

the quickening is upon us

and doggone us

if we do not awaken now

i fear we shall not

and be forgotten

just as so many dreams

seems

to disappear

into the ether

of the nothingness

within each of our voids

that abyss of the unknown

we can implant

a word

a tone

that creates the new dawn

we so sorely need

God did !

“let there be light”

spoken in our night

ushers forth

a belief

no,

a knowing

that our souls

are capable of sowing

the seeds of the change

we need

in this poisoned garden

we must till the ground

the foundations

of our allowed indoctrinations

and uproot the weeds

of our greed

for complacency

and indifference

without deference

or our suffering

will become eternal

if but one kernel

of shadow is left

in our hearts

the shadows will have won

and that one love

we spoke about

shall never see the light

of our individual days

will never be visual

in our ways

what say you
