Fireflies, Dust and Beauty

Fireflies dance, spokes spark like delighted nymphs skimming sprightly along a moss-

Green embankment.

Beauy is like a dancing dragonfly happy in the light.

A spectral of colour only makes itself known in reflection.

Otherwise, all you see are grey-brown wings as dull as the clinging of dust in shadows.

A vision of thruth unravels in front of your eyes only when you decide to look more

closely.

This is not unlike Beauty.

It only reveals itself to you in its true light.

Pink, Purple, Green, Indigo, Violet.

Verbania! Bella Verbania!

Verbania! Verbania! You are beautiful

In every way possible

Bella! Bella!

Peace is steadfast in the heart of you

And covers the crown chakras of your maidens like a scared veil

Here I can be eternally as Im supposed to be

You are garlanded with jasmine and roses

Aromatic pleasures are becoming of you

The lakes waves shimmer and dance like the skin of Krishna-

nocturnal blue,

While Radha resides among the misty hills in the distance- mountainous, peaks

curvaceous,

like a Mother serene and careful caressing her children

Villagio after villagio resides in you

You are peaceful, beautiful, calm and tranquil.

Verbania bella Verbania

This is Our World

This is Our World.

It is no longer your world

We demand Peace, Knowledge, Freedom, a Future. A Home.

Your corporations are no longer your corporations

Your corporate ambitions have now become our

corporate visions and we have changed the

future.

The future is already here. Its here now.

And yes, the futures bright but it ist Orange.

Its raincow coloured crystalite,

A sparkling hue of spectral light. Like a merkabic prism

encapsuling shining bright.

Where are the elementals?

The garden fairies? The garden knomes?

Where are they? Where is my home?

Where are the Merlins and wizards and witches and these sun worshippers?

Worshippers of geometric form?

The light from a star for a new day is born

Of nature perfectly held in balance

Lets heal the earth. Caress, treat tender the womb.

Nature, nature. Mother Earth

Longing for a a healing, holistic, loving essential Nature.

Not a volatile, hostile, violent, destructive Nature.

The crystal rocks of the Earth

Moonstone aventurine, apopholite, quartz crystal formed aeons and light

years ago, will heal and aid me in this day;

Becoming one with my DNA. Metaphysical make up.

Salt, iron, water, blood moonstone.

I and the moon are One

I and the stars are One

I and the sun are One.

And they will aid us- you and me.

The young generation.

This is Our generation.

And no- we are not Generation X.

Neither are we Generation 666.

We have a name and our name is clear

Crystal clear

We are the Crystal Children

The Rainbow Children

The golden healers of the New Age children

Fighters of the War and the out-moded system

We usher in a New Day of peace.

With the Aquarian water bearer enveloping our skies

Pouring out a cooling, refreshment

Allowing all to revitalise.

You disobey us and think it is us who disobey.

Yes. We are rebels to your inheritence because we are the new leaders

and what have you left us as inheritence?

What kind of earth have we inherited from you?

So yes, we will disobey.

Because your ways are no longer our ways.

And what do you understand?

You speak a different language.

We speak another language of Peace, Tolerance, Justice, free from lies.

With Truth and Love.

This is our language.

Direct and Directly tuned from above.

We speak in frequencies of colour and sound wave vibrations and

speckles and sparkles of telepathic kinesthetic communication

of angel dust and light.

Gearing insight and instant manifestation

Existing always in the fourth and fifth dimensions.

Are you so blind that you cannot see?

Or are you so deaf that you cannot hear?

The Natural World needs healing.

Hear the deforestation of the Amazon

and the mutilation of the sacred trees and the thousands of species gone

into extinction.

When will it be acceptable to be loving again? Kind, compassionate

and simplistic again?

Whole again?

Where has innocence gone?

Have you been prostituted for politicians sake?

For wine and the barleys sake?

Forsaken.

The woodlands, the forests, the burning rustic fire of autumnal leaves.

Autumnal seasonal trees and changes.

Heaven made us.

The earth

The peace

The calm

The soil

The heat and the sweat of the brow that toils,

but not for money or riches

but for the karmic Law of Nature

Yes, the karmic Law of Nature.

Did you forget about that?

Internal Changes

Internal Changes.

Being.

Carried on an eternal wing.

Colours swirl around my auric field in a daydream floating on an ethereal cloud.

Caught in rapture.

Perfectly safe.

A conscious awareness that transports me.

Eternal peace flows through me, tranquility, serenity.

My world is a daydream.

Constantly sleeping waiting to wake up.

I have questions to ask and thoughts to respond to

But they are already called to.

Healing comes with much comprehension

And much to accomplish. Still much to do.

Beauty and Ugliness

Beauty and ugliness

Seem to me to be one and the same thing.

Seen through different perspectives.

How am I to act around you?

How am I to behave when I am with you?

I have an urge to shine brighter than a million suns

But this urge is put away by my environment

Wholeness and sentiment versus repressed retarded emotional emoting.

Squeeze extract exploit. Squeeze extract exploit.

The showsters in town. Payback time for the clown.

Up here, it is easy to be all that I want to be

Down there, Ignorance is bliss so for now, Ill enjoy this retreat before I have to retreat

And put on my shades.

And cover over my shameful nakedness

But somehoew Im getting tired of this Darkness.

Awake, Oh Sleeper

Awake, Oh Dreamer

Awake and arise

Time to bask, bathe and shower in the Light.

Time to take off the shades.

The Two Doctors

Its too bright.

And too beautiful.

Theres too much of all of it.

And I want all of it.

Nothing and everything.

The Two Doctors

They have my life in their hands.

The one- he never fulfills all of my desires.

And the other- the ones I have hell soon take all away from me.

What can I do?


14/23

13

They cannot help me.

What can I do?

Who shall save me?

Time

and Death.

Mother Earth and Her Poles

The Earth.

Mother Gaia.

She is very beautiful is she not?

She has the North and the South poles.

The North and the South poles-

They are very attracted to each other.

They are opposites and all of this. Opposites are very attracted-

Everybody knows this.

So, the North and the South poles are extremely attracted;

But the thing is-

Theyre not allowed to touch one another. Intimacy is witheld.

Not permitted within the Law.


16/23

15

The minute they touch, the Earth itself will disintegrate.

Nothing to exist anymore.

But the Law- is very perfect.

The Law makes everything very beautiful and so perfect, and is aware of everything.

The Law makes everything so perfect, so that there is-

This tension between them.

The North and the South.

But it is this tension that keeps the Earth in place.

However, the year is 2016.

This means that the North and the South are now awakening from their long slumber.

They are beginning to discover their deep attraction for one another.

This is why right now, the earth is all going topsy-turvy.

Everything is out of place and upside down.

There are wars over here and tsunamis over there.

Everything is very crazy.

The Mystery

(?)

Dont ever question the question.

Dont ever question the Mystery.

Dont doubt it.And dont question it either.

Because, you know,

You will never find it.

It is something that just goes on forever and ever and

ever and ever and Aigh! Forget about that!

The Mystery is very attractive in all its Mystery.

But.

If you ever find yourself succumbing to its powers,

And you start to become intoxicated by its magnetism,

Dont ever attempt to explain

Gypsy

I go here

I go there

WanderingTravelling

Without a care

My home is no longer my own

Unrecognizable

Indistinguishable to me

Foreigners plough; take over my home land

Left on my own alone wild and

Free

My gods are no longer my gods

No

My gods are no longer my gods

You take my gods as your ownand say they are not gods at all

I am a daughter of the Earth

The richness of the Earth,

The Sun and the Moon

The fire, the Earth, the wind and the rain

I whisper call summon

They respond to their names

But this is not a perception

Viewed by you

You take my gods as your own


18/23

17

And say they are not gods at all

So I am exiled

Driven away

Re-Oxygenated

Why did I come here?

To ponder over a view?

To awaken something inside?

Cycle after cycle.

Snow covered mountains display themselves proudly in the distance.


19/23

Unashamed and unafraid.

Wounded Pride

There message is hard to decipher

Something about Purity and Clarity.

Only take what is essential and pure.

Then take it and distill it to its highest quality. The best possibility.

Volcanic rocks spurt molten emit steam from formated crustaceons of mud hills and mudsprings.

Take me there to Re-oxygenate my face. Infuse my soul.

Take me there. This is what I want my life to be.

Black Hole

Black Hole

Small tale

Willow the wisp in the vale

The tall dark man hooded cloak covering

His face skeletal sockets empty

Menacing grinning Machievellian champion

Its so funny,

So funny

To him

Not to me

Where is my time the day that you stole my diary

Took my privacy away

The day that you stole my diary

My private life

My private head

My private thoughts

Did you creep into my bed in the middle of the night

A black crow as an omen

Porched on my window sill in the morning

Told me so

That you crept into my bed in the middle of the night

He peered down through the window with beady black eyes

Pierced a look through me as though he knew something and was

telling me something


21/23

20

Like there is something I know that I really shouldnt know

Something that I cannot repeat but should despise

Some kind of forbidden knowledge he passed onto me throuh the pane

This pain

Mixed with a tint of pleasure

Secrets that were not secrets

But some kind of deadly poison and drugged intoxification to you

Something so interesting to you

Fascinating enthused

You left me and I left not knowing what to do

Broken pieces of my life on the floor- like glass frozen

Seeping withering rolling malting

What can I do

About this decay?

Blow you away

Then today

Live for today

With my rock n roll boyfriend in a

A rock n roll frenzy

The weekend is here and Im out to play


22/23

21

Blow you away, blow your mind away

I dont need you

But somehow

I do

Wanting, longing to seeyou

I want you but not in thepast life- the past existence

Only in this life

I wantit all brand new

Like wide screen flat screen and blue ray HD

Want to create some magic with you

Want to forget myself with you

Yor face is my joy

Your body

Is my merkabic field.
