TRAVEL BORN INSIGHTS AND PERCEPTIONS    (4-28-1989; San Blas, Nayarit, Mexico.)

through migrained aura lines
some ancient huichol spirit dream
dances for me
throughout this foreign
yet still somehow
familiar land
throughout this vast
pacific s sparkling sea
spread out far and wide
before me here
as far as my eyes can see
across these ever changing
tropic skies above
fluidly unfolding everywhere
both above and beyond me
overlapping this beautiful
coastal jungle garden path
which leads and winds it s way
down to the nearest beach below
where i now stand gazing out
in tranquil  dazed  sheer wonderment
at everything my open heart
mind and senses
are seeing  sensing and feeling
so wonderfully filled with
as gracefully moving  kinetic lines
of wind blown  dancing
green palm tree fronds
so sharply contrast and wriggle
hypnotically transposed
so boundlessly in their and in this
bright glaring light triggered
visually psychedelic  migraine headache s
neuro vascular  optically juxtaposed  pre auric show
against and across
all this electrifyingly beautiful
lucid  blue sky morning peace
where i presently feel and seem to be
so timelessly  so mystically suspended
here in this strange  new  altered head space
through which i m still presently perceiving
this exotic  tropical  living eden s
still unfolding morning s
experiential  sensory
greater  synaptic  primal awakening
where i so vividly hear and smell
taste and feel
the heartbeat  soul
breath and eternal  inner spirit call to me
of and from this ever beckoning
living sea beyond
where frigates circuitously glide and soar
pterydectalian  by the dozens
high up above me here
with motionless  open  tireless wings
spiraling dizzyingly for hours
high up above  within and beyond
this subtropical  mexican shoreline s beach
high above this timeless time and place
which somehow feels so ancient
yet so elegantly simple
so perfectly natural and complete enough to me
even so  here now i am
only wading through this morning s
dazzling new  primordially still unfolding
alternative reality
as if stuck here in some new  wondrous
long overdue  much needed dream
which it and i both now realize
in our own mutually shared  spiritually entwined
present  living  lucid dream
that my remaining time here
is a only temporary thing
for sadly i ve only a few more
fleeting days left here
before my much too brief
soul feeding  life healing
surf vacation comes to it s presently
pre scheduled end
when then too soon
back home to my old
much too routine life and job s
much more stressful
dog eat dog
consumerist pseudo life
of so much soulless
empty artifice
and mandatory
near complete and total
tuned in  broken  fractured
systemically forced  spiritual disconnection
from the natural world
around us all
so far and remotely divorced
by most people back home
in my country of birth
as well as in most all the other
so called more civilized
more developed
first world countries
in this long lost
now increasingly floundering world
which seems and has now moved
so far away from truth
away from simple
and much deeper
natural joys and pleasures
away from truly living life
more naturally itself
here now or there
almost anywhere here on earth
it seems  i fear
anymore at all
but rather instead
nowadays we re all only being given
and apparently only allowed
the so called free will choice
of returning back
to that sad  old past s nowhere state
of false being and existence
of not truly  nor more fully living anymore at all
but of only going back and backwards to
that same old  generations old
constant  daily struggle
to simply just survive
against all odds
either obediently in apathetic
or completely passive
acquiescent compliance
or more defiantly against the grain
of all expected  so called normal
social conformity
against all stagnant
dead end  useless  dying
truly soulless  unawakened
though soon to fall now
prior  paradigmal
old  human status quos
which very soon now
i trust and pray
will hopefully
be no more
at all
