Pressing to Data

Marvel juggles a fair day
Sponging the enigma
Waking consciousness
Flashes becoming longer
Longer still…
Antics
Reintegrating full strength
Like a strong Columbian brew
Sensitivities attuned

Oh, for naked common sense
Waving good-by to the cadaver
Building attempt
Sensations assail
Opening doors to reason
Letting go of everything
Evenly illuminated
Recalls every hour

Brazen glories come afar
Dipping sea shades of delight
Hanging mysterious signs
Can this bloodline encompass?
To the same speed as walking
Soaking the sights and
What is not?

Will we always boast these tunes?
Am I the urn of ashes?
Which bears my heart?
A place to camp, a simple meal
Transitional zone choosing to quest
Reducing life to basics
Valuing a thousand summers
Protective jewels, encircle all
Like an intense life long friendship
Thrill seeking human place
Below another sky, living on the windward side
Snorkeling in carbohydrates

With, before time data
Records keep turning
By a familiar ghost
Language tilts the earth’s axis
Transmitting ancient plays
Very close to the psychics
Print less feet of flames
Brand the beach of currents
Placing a bonfire for the swans to see
Clearly teeming and living off the sea
Exposing my human side
Hoping compassion finds the cadaver
For it is my dwelling place
With magic keys
Reminding me of this earthly place
Where unmasked speech
Reminds me unsafe foolishness
Once again, slipping into my skin
Wondering how long I’d been gone this time

perfectly presented Lee.
The thoughts and feelings in this, so
very universal.  I know I sure have wondered this very thing myself more than once!

When you open the core
You open awe. Good morning sweet.
