Vision

And so...
brainchild is the year,
deep pointed fingertips
full of superstition
splinter around
the gum of
screams
whimpering
goodbye
unseeing eyes
from both sides
quiver with shards
of night
stabbing their souls
like blind panic
awakening from dream murmurs
their endless play in shapes
they can no longer hold

old parchment bearing names
with virgin hearts
clamping arteries to the world
grinding corn in water falls of
new hologram pictures
that delight the eye
and the breeze is the same
reaching
with strong fingers of
legends ever present
sticking into
red skies of morning
lamentations luring
the ghost of knowledge
calming dry leaves and stone
until they spew,
like the self cleaning oven
of mankind sweetly
worthy to themselves

it is then, and only then
well being comes to feast
with long sleeved blouse
spinning
the chair of crop circles
where invisible
people prune the
outspoken matters of church
while listening
to the gentle voice
of hope
skipping
back to the well lit
cottage of time

ravishing...
twisted
and neglected minds
caring for
young and old alike
brewing lukewarm dawn
simultaneously
intent on climbing
cold winter
ravaged mountains

peace by peace
where a windswept
horizon becomes
color and sound
streaming hungry sunlight
that can’t wait
to skirt summers

oak sentinels
deep lipped and hungry
to win the wars of
creeping midnight
swallowing whole
screams of worry

microscopic organisms
sopping up red blood
of orchestrated
death
that had been
preying on the meek
for years
cloning
compassion & truth
their shaped futures…
riding the sun
up over the earth

protecting
nestled birds
of evensong
and sweet rising dawn
giving great shakes
to all that ever was
to the inner being…
and so....
sea faring lineage
holds the hand
of great dreaming
there is only
inspiration turned crimson
pass these tails
among the people
know the secret
of mental conception
is the grandeur
purpose of love
search no more for meaning

The stream of thoughts and visions have left me breathless! How do you do it? Do you take some mystical herbs? ~ magic mushrooms, perhaps? lol

Your mind is magnificent!

Love & Life,
Linda

Ohhhhh....

"protecting

Is that some particular brand of coffee? Where can I buy it?
