Beyond Time

Turn depression into disappointment
From Spark to FIRE
without bounds,
The smoke billows out towards you
until
you cannot see, cannot breathe
(Freeze, Fly, Disease)

Learn to build a ring around this fire
turn towards your disappointment then
to the soft belly of despair
to Feel lost Dreams
Dreams are all you've dealt in.
Afraid and powerless, missing your breath
from grasping sorrowful goodbyes
disconnect futures from
some other life
call yourself home again
 
zip into Beyond Time
sit back in the memory your body keeps
the bridge all the way home
(to sensing how it all takes a turn)
Hold & Release
Expanding & Contracting
sync in motion with Everything Else
(The Great Nothing is where Everything Else was born)
it's Now we deal in
Something Else-
Beyond Time.
 
smoke and mirrors become your teeth
sense deep into the earth
where you don't need to breathe
just be the breath
that tends the fire
that is sacredly bound
Beyond Time
in motion with Everything Else
