Make My Day

In a funk
and he thinks a SONG
will make my day

and yes,
he sings them all
well and badly

with more passion
more devotion
than talent or skill

except when I remember
he's a professional
and is deliberately TRYING

to be adorably
quirky
it worked.

Lazy Day

wind chimes
talk to the breeze off Puget Sound

the sun massages the earth
under her rays

tree frogs in the understory
sing quietly
sleepily

and we,
the little dog and i,
add our snoring to the chorus

Focus Lock

And here it is . . .

I thrive whenYou
are my focus

when We,
the Team Undefeated,
Joyful

We are the Root Cause
of my every moment

Our bond
our mission
our joy

is my every why
for every choice

right relationship
full harmony
with delightful
cascading descants
in alternating tones

like honeyed sunlight
slowly flowing
down warm skin
midday, midsummer

at the equator

for the only way
1+1=2

is when

1+1=1

and you and I
take such intense delight
in loving all the worlds

that exploiters approach
but self-destruct

at the boundaryline
of our
mutual attentions.

oh delight
may i ever become worthy
may i ever become
She who you

believe I am

The Unexpected Falling of the Wedding Ducks

Knocked to the side,
on their backs,
the wedding ducks -
askew

my heart in my throat
'has he left me?!
i could not bear it!
please!'

and a Presence fills the room
"My Little Frog.
Did you fail to notice the
curtain brush them
as you opened the window?
Fear Nothing."

and still,
i cannot escape the terror
of abandonment
again

if my Eternal Beloved
were to leave me

there would be no point
in fighting the world's
insistence

that i do not exist

"You ARE,
my love. 

You ARE.

And you are MINE."

safety has nothing to do with bodies
and everything to do
with knowing
who you can rely on

How to Identify & Repulse an Outside Attack

CONTENT NOTES:  Cussing, how to fight off suicidal thoughts, owning your own power, rightly placed anger
.

When someone who would NEVER
tell you your existence causes them harm

tells you your existence causes them harm

(& immediately wonders where the hell THAT BULLSHIT came from)

When they have no clue
that your existence causing others harm

is the only reason you cut all ties with those

to whom harm is perceived to have been done
by your existence

When you very nearly do it

because you cannot live with yourself
being a cause of suffering for another

and the voices in the back of your mind

begin a triumphant song
about your imminent suicide

when you had not been suicidal for years

THAT is when you know
this was orchestrated

THAT is when you know
this was deliberate

THAT is when you know
your dear ones would NEVER

be so cruel

THAT is when you turn and face the voices,
those suggesters of evil

THAT is when you draw your spiritual sword
and smite those

who would destroy

who would distract you from your rightful mission

THAT is when you laugh
in the face of the thoughts that would have you die

THAT is when you strike the gong
to piercing crescendo,

driving those beings away who want you to go mad
who want you to die
who want your death to be the fountainhead of
a cascade of suicides

FUCK EVIL!
FUCK OFF, PETTY DEMONS!

Those who serve the Greater Death
are NOT WELCOME IN THIS MIND!

Oh, I know you'll try again.

Come at me, you little shits!

JUST TRY IT! 

Oh but you think I'm weak and frail
and that I'm easily fooled?

NOT ON YOUR MISERABLE,
RAGE FILLED LIVES!

You

shall

not

pass.

Wiggle

worlds spin
some coalesce
into form
and others
fade to black

and all the joy
of the dance
permeates
every wise atom
and every foolish one

and every atom
in between

i reject hate and abusive
energies and all
that they are rooted in.

I accept the lessons
but I reject the care and feeding
on a daily basis
of those things that
lead to the Greater Death

I wiggle
toward
the Greater Life
