My American Disdain

Self reliant
No......
Dangerously defiant
A country cold
and heartless
Teachers starving
Students carving
out a niche in the streets
A country serving up platters of
deceit
Bipartisan bickering endless
Forgotten souls defenseless
against the sting of
America
the beautiful?
America the free?
America, the greatest country?
Who are we kidding
Certainly not ourselves
as we sink into the
mess we have created
over decades of bravado
and capitalist bullshit
It's a miracle we are standing
yet
How do we kill the fire?
How to ask the sun to forgive
us?
How to revive mercy in the
midst of our malignant
madness to conquer and collect
How can we look into a hungry
face and turn in neglect
How do we heal a wound..... gaping
When soldiers overseas are raping
their own comrades
Comrades in arms
Comrades that harm
their own
Get me the hell outta here
I want to go home

Energy Crisis

 

 

It's too cold...stoke your fire

Spring clean ....sweep away your fears

Check under the hood...tighten loose wires

Lube job....oil your gears

Ain't no turning away

From the people we've become

Time to get outta our own way

Time to turn to our innate sun

We are runnin from the warmth of

this saving sun that illuminates

Recharging our batteries with radiant love

As we continue to mentally masturbate

Energy crisis, but we don't see

We are blind to our behaviors

How you treat you is the way you treat me

This woman is on fire.....no crisis enslaves her

 
Ignore the needs your life requires

And soon you'll ache from head to toe

Needin to be forged anew in the flames of the fires

But still holding tight to what needs to be let go

Energy crisis, but we don't see

We are blind to our behaviors

How you treat you is the way you treat me

This woman is on fire....no crisis enslaves her

Run to our sun, own our shadows

All of who we are is deserving

Let the sun burn down our guilty gallows

Activate the energy we've been conserving

Energy crisis cured.....emergency averted

The fire fuels our lives, forged anew in the flames

Turned inside out, open, inverted

Listen now, the wind sings our names

Energy crisis healed.... we now see

Alive in the illumination, once dim

How you treat you is the way you allow life to be

All men, all women on fire.....no crisis enslaves them

 

 

 

Without The Other...Being

http://www.twistedrootstudios.com

The fire

both male and female

The raging burn of passion

The heat that sends the shiver of our bones away

In the yin/yang meander of  this life

The fire is the forge of male and female

One can not be without the other....

being

The male heat, as it moves out from the fire

Becomes the coolness of the feminine

I am female and I am male

Both paradigms live inside

my soul

Beautifully blended

Residing in this vehicle....

my body

One can not be without the other...

being

I am not my body

yet...we are necessary to each other

There is no morn without the sun breaking the horizon

There is no night with out the moon..

rising

I am the day and the night

co-mingled

One can not be without the other....

being

Human.. I am

Yet, I am also the forest, sea, or sky being

Sent here to bravely rescue

that human part of myself, from itself

I am human and I am

Sea Soul

Connected

I am the DNA of all my selves

integrated

I can not be without the other...

being

I am chaos

churning...spinning...crashing

I am clarity

like that of a crystal

Clear and far seeing....future, past, present

I am chaos and clarity

colliding in a single second

One can not be without the other...

being

The yin/yang meander of life

runs so deep

Deeper than the depths of my ocean....

vast

Deeper than the caverns of my human brain

Deeper than known to me consciously

yet, the wisdom of these depths is

accessible

I am the access and the depths

sifted in synergy

One can not be without the other...

being

I am me..

the depths...the access

the female, the male

the moon, the sun

the body, the soul

the land, the sea

the chaos, the clarity

the yin, the yang

A glorious, one of a kind concoction

I can not be without all of my...

being

From the Fire

Turning, they walked away from the circle
back to life
some back to stress 
some back to the joy that awaited them
Each a different story to pen
Each a personal quest to continue

Minutes before, they had set in motion a
manifestation
She needed to remind them today
that this remains in motion
That which they burned in the fire
shall come to fruition

A seed must crack to grow
Once the fruit is produced
the plant dies
returning to the earth to begin 
again
It grows another year
or perhaps in its death
creates a space for new life to
flourish

In the sweet release of death
newness is born
Allow the small death
so grand, new life can
be yours as you
manifest that which you seek


From the fire comes a gift
Forged in the intense heat of
the burn
risen from the ashes of fear and failure
to become JOY and PEACE

Let the fire gift you
let it come and be 
realized
When we burn again, together
we shall be stronger
for having accepted 
this gift

From the fire
next time
we shall allow even more
so that we can give
even
more
together

 

Burn and Bring

The sun warmed her thoughts today as she walked peacefully into the deep forest. She thought about the sun, the wind, the rain, the animals, the trees. She felt the connection. Feeling the city leave her body, feeling the pain of the world cease to live within her. Here, she was at peace.

She thought about the fire, and how it had the ability to generate so much energy, to take and make life all at the same time. What would she allow for herself on this journey.....the fire that takes or the fire that makes.

She chose the fire that makes.....makes one warm, makes one mesmerized, makes one's food, makes way for forging and joining and connection.
She had already been through the fires of transformation.....burning away that which no longer served her. She knew now that in the leaving there is much learning.

The fire teaches us, Face the Fire in whatever way you need to. Let it burn and bring.
