Soul’s Choices

Standard

The soul is best reflected in the record, the choices it makes.

Those brute facts are a mirror.

Gaze deeply.

Don’t blink.

Don’t be distracted by circumstance or excuse.

Reason, rationalization is irrelevant.

They merely hold the dark negative image.

The fear, the insecurity, the shame,

That which is projected on to the screen of others.

No soul is ever revealed except within the crucible.

The choices, what is hidden and what is revealed reflect the essence of the soul.

Doesn’t matter the reason,

All that matters is choice.

You will know me by my choices and those I do not make.

You will know you by the same device.

Generosity can only be measured when one is in lack.

Drunkenness reveals the heart and does not excuse its actions.

Fear is necessary for courage to manifest itself.

Truth told when it hurts, burns away the prison of the lie.

There should be no shield from its holy fire.

My Soul, you are my responsibility.

Your soul is yours.

Insides are Out (Audio)

Standard

Something is severed

Tween my heart and my pen

My insides are out

And my outsides are in

 

Watching it all

As it scampers about

But perspective evades

when one’s insides are out

 

Seeking those lines

Tween who I and who You be

Though befuddled for now

It shall all be most Groovy!

 

Sitting still as it settles

Watching new meanings unfold

Just telling the truth as I find it

Of and to my own Soul.

(Been going back through last year’s stuff to see what I may have left behind)

The Promise of Honey (Audio)

Standard

I dreamed of honey
I dreamed of bees
I dreamed a promise
I made on my knees

As body awakened
My dream it did fade
Sweetness and vow
With Soul though has stayed

She brought me these two
For this time on this day
I hold to them fast
As the rest fades away

A place I have made
The gifts here to hold
Till Her message is clear
And Her wishes unfold

Fertile bounty one clue
Sweet richness I see
And Fidelity’s link
To the honey and bees

What promise I have
Or what promise neglected
The path and its meaning
Its light now detected

She brings me these things
To nudge and to guide me
In hopes I awaken
To the wonders inside me

Thank you sweet Soul
You were tender today
No surreal symbols, no horrors
O’r me love has held sway

I know I am dense
And sometimes I pout
But my outsides are in
And my insides are out

No is most potent

No comes before

Like death precedes life

No opens Yes’ door

She’s taught the word No
Which brought on destruction
Now Yes I shall learn
For my Soul’s reconstruction

Reaffirming the vow
Will fulfill my life’s reason
Consecration now needed
At this time, for this season

Abandon the lie
The first step I made
Saying No to the Other
Foundations were laid

Now to the building
Selecting what to affirm
Carefully now choosing
That which my heart does confirm
