Karma, Death and Rebirth
The Karmic account doesn't stop at death.
It continues life after life.
At Death, the Body Dies but ME (Mind + Ego)
with Karma is reborn!
Death is not the End.
It is just a Bend.
Our Karma makes us live again and again
and the cycle continues.
As long as there is Karma,
we are reborn.
And as long as we are alive,
we will be creating Karma.
It continues life after life.
At Death, the Body Dies but ME (Mind + Ego)
with Karma is reborn!
Death is not the End.
It is just a Bend.
Our Karma makes us live again and again
and the cycle continues.
As long as there is Karma,
we are reborn.
And as long as we are alive,
we will be creating Karma.

Canto 1 The Dark Wood of Error (Stanzas 1-4)
Amiss I went, within a mortal’s journey
in a dismal wood of sin, I awoke off the True Path!
In a black forest, I departed from the way of light! How to say
how wicked! Never witnessed so dismal, so rank,
so savagely untamed its rough growth twas’ in this timberland!
To my fear, gives eyes to the dead.
Than that infernal-wood could one’s demise be not far more venomous!
Of what hallowed one can preach,
recounting I will that was unveiled to me by the Lord’s grace.
I scarcely can say how I came about it,
so...
in a dismal wood of sin, I awoke off the True Path!
In a black forest, I departed from the way of light! How to say
how wicked! Never witnessed so dismal, so rank,
so savagely untamed its rough growth twas’ in this timberland!
To my fear, gives eyes to the dead.
Than that infernal-wood could one’s demise be not far more venomous!

Cosmik chords
Pulsating orbs
pulling me towards
total transcendence..
The Eternal reward.
The cosmic chords
echo throughout celestial chasms..
I spasm as I get absorbed into
the swirling swarm of galactic storms,
far from the norm
I could've sworn the threads of time were just torn into pieces..
The universal aura
alluring me into astral realms
of bliss and wonder..
Not so
overwhelmed
not as restless,
it's amazing how one hit
Just 1one1 hit 👆
Of cannabis
can drastically help me stress...
pulling me towards
total transcendence..
The Eternal reward.
The cosmic chords
echo throughout celestial chasms..
I spasm as I get absorbed into
the swirling swarm of galactic storms,
far from the norm
I could've sworn the threads of time were just torn into pieces..
The universal aura
alluring me into astral realms
of bliss and wonder..
Not so

it's amazing how one hit

The One Behind the All
I see the world through million eyes,
Those suffering souls, these aching hearts
Mellow, carefree children’s laughter
Are all my own.
Those leaning trees, feel them sway
Look! flying birds and falling rain
Running beasts, rushing streams, ocean waves-
My very face.
In all the places
Through all the eyes
I am the eternal seer.
I am the oversoul,
I am the One behind the many,
I am the One behind the all.
Those suffering souls, these aching hearts
Mellow, carefree children’s laughter
Are all my own.
Those leaning trees, feel them sway
Look! flying birds and falling rain
Running beasts, rushing streams, ocean waves-
My very face.
In all the places
Through all the eyes
I am the eternal seer.
I am the oversoul,
I am the One behind the many,
I am the One behind the all.

CHOICES FOR 'ALL THAT COULD DIE'
(Inhumation)
All that could die
Six feet under lie,
Turning unto bone
Under a tombstone
(If not unmarked be
So plant life grows free).
(Cremation)
All that could die
Makes smoke in the sky
While I turn to ash.
It saves my folks cash
And the need to tend
A grave without end.
(Anatomization)
All that could die
To science leave I,
That men may dissect
To learning effect.
What's found under knife
Might save other's life.
All that could die
Six feet under lie,
Turning unto bone
Under a tombstone
(If not unmarked be
So plant life grows free).
(Cremation)
All that could die
Makes smoke in the sky
While I turn to ash.
It saves my folks cash
And the need to tend
A grave without end.
(Anatomization)
All that could die
To science leave I,
That men may dissect
To learning effect.
What's found under knife
Might save other's life.

Gift
She carried the lantern of the gods
Beacon eternal buried deep within
She held it close never to reveal
Never to use to any earthly whim
She carried this close to her soul
From the ancient days of very old
Cradled and cared for most lovingly
Opened to good measure ... only Cunningly ..
Beacon eternal buried deep within
She held it close never to reveal
Never to use to any earthly whim
She carried this close to her soul
From the ancient days of very old

Dark Aethereal Dreams
When the energy roils too fast and too hard she coils up to brace herself
The dancing synapses firing too fast too hard spike her to core
Causing undulated writhing in uncontrolled rhythms of ancient cacophony
The blaring blasting of sonic harshness thrums against her membrane of thinly veiled soul
Alone in the aether she coils ... Alone in the Dark she braces
Alone in time she recoils ... alone in her mind she Embraces ...
All ...
The dancing synapses firing too fast too hard spike her to core
Causing undulated writhing in uncontrolled rhythms of ancient cacophony
The blaring blasting of sonic harshness thrums against her membrane of thinly veiled soul
Alone in the aether she coils ... Alone in the Dark she braces
Alone in time she recoils ... alone in her mind she Embraces ...
All ...

Mourning Thoughts
Information is relative
Like Tribes scattered in Babylon
Faith divided in nations
To forever imbalance the equation of faith
The race was lost long before
The blood, the gore, the wars
This ward, is plagued
So we self medicate
With anything that gives us a ‘high’
Lust
Money
Substance
Where does peace lie?
In lies...
Where is freedom?
Inside
As the world revolves around the sun
The “sol”.
One became two
Half became whole
Mind and Spirit split
Marry...

The Fray
Last November I attempted suicide.
My mortal being had ingested Hell’s gifted cyanide.
So, the devil made it downpour, darker and colder.
Trailing me was some gasping, holy mortality,
but with earthly feet
they could barely keep up in sin's slackening sleet.
My guardian angel’s grasp resolute.
It was too soon to see heaven’s loft.
Oh, but I why do I still wish that night in the freezing Hell I crossed?
Conviction she had to catch up to me!
Oh, on the frozen rain her footed grip was feathery,
her faith was...

Pray
Jehovah God, Hearer of Prayer, please hear the prayer
Of a sinner who's repenting but who's been near despair
A sinner who's here to share
By your offer to clear the air so he can feel your care:
"Maybe I'm not a sinner, maybe I'm just weak
And powerless against this cowardice and it bugs me
That I'm as flesh-obsessed as predators, hunters, et cetera
I'm just ashamed that I'm not the man I must be
In the war of the law of my flesh versus the law of my mind
I've been on the wrong side for just about the longest time
Young, dumb and me, in...

Mortal (written for the "People are Strange" Competition)
Particles
bring forth melody of memories
You were the sun above high pine trees
Cautiously waiting to warm (warn) the day
You were hidden inside
A story told backwards
"Fate" he said "Is alabaster"
Perhaps a cherubine smiled
In electric radiation as we burn
In existential phyre
So close to cosmic oxygen
Our fuel, our heat will one day
Expire
When incarnated stars
fill the perimeter and the night
is long, I remember the world
A place...
bring forth melody of memories

Cautiously waiting to warm (warn) the day

Life is but a stepping stone in the long scheme of eternity~
Seeking the path that keeps God in charge with gentle serenity~
Knowing that this is a test until the time to gaze into divinity.
Tethered to imaginations that run wild with free abandon~
Tapestry of souls woven of creation are colorful vibration~
Christ is the cornerstone of salvation for a solid foundation.
Sanctuary is where the veil was wrent to reveal unfathomable truth~
To see His suffering at Calgary is the indisputable proof~
Interlaced web of ancient scripture inspires internal...
