Sent in Skulls


All light
Leads
to
Darkness.

I set
my self
into
Stillness,

As shadows sway,
having their way
across the aperture
of the mind’s eye.

- Seeking breathless
being thoughtless
feeling emptiness -

Clouds
over

The distance

Between
freedom

&

Resistance -

As the spirit summons this
out of the nothingness,

Ever onward -

Even out of time & space
and loss of place:

Finding US

Mind aligns
in a design
of light

Shaped

Lotus.

...  When I was me
