Press play and let the music wash over you as you read.
Within
Recitals and such memories of succulent prose
.
Press play and let the music wash over you as you read.
Press play and let the music wash over you as you read.
Unsolvable by just one lifetime
And plights
The Milky Way
From a faraway place
A multitude of
Press play before reading. Salute.
(A lone voice whispers)
As I look through my black scrying mirror in 2023
People seem to smile
Share a picture or two and the internet loves you
But cry for help
And they'll nearly all ignore you except for a beautiful few
Who'll weep inside in sorrow but never show
As they try to help you with kindness
To try to get through the gift of a new tomorrow
In 2023
The Lifting of the Veil
A new cosmic timeline where old secrets
Once carefully hidden are revealed
For the Mayans always knew we would be entering the age of Aquarius
A time of enlightenment and beginning our long journey back home to here
The ever-glowing Sun
I see
Share your success and they'll all run to gather
Like pagan worshippers
Dancing round huge burning circles
To sing songs filled with praise
But if they were pressed
To truly confess
They would probably admit they pray to live to see you fail
In 2023
The happy seem everywhere my tired old eyes can see
Creating their own universes
Using social media to hypnotize people with their worldviews
But if carefully reviewed
It's a sad sham
Many if pushed
Could see through
In 2023
Why do the sad and old sit lonely in brick castles
Singing silently with tired eyes to green hills
To cherished memories that will never answer as they eat endless pills
Remembering times when they were one of life's energetic chancers
But now just wait for Death
To line up as he approaches
And says as they take their last breath
''Shall we dance so you can be one of my endless dancers''
In 2023
Does true love still live on in all its crimson glory
Amongst all those who just seek a taste of your pleasure
As they pursue you like a Mid-Summers Nights Story
Using it like a dangerous game to renew
In 2023
Do friends surround you like the friendly Sentinels in here
Who live in the North in Debak
But behind your back
Feast as your pain starts to rain
As I speak to you from in here
The Great In-Between
There is still plenty of room in Heaven
Archangel Micheal told us so
So we all in Sheol wait to ascend too
Waiting for his beautiful call so we can go
But one by one
One by one
You and us all must queue through the narrow aisles of living
Us remembering and you doing the giving
Praying we'll all be eventually forgiven by the Almighty
Who once gave us a bright light to carry into the world to share
With us deciding on its boundaries and conditions
My name was Mary
From Carolina
Remember me
As I await my extradition

Deep
Inside
Have you perhaps once died
In a thousand ways
Like one of the sad
Travelers
Lost and lonely
Now
But still walking on
Heartbroken and quietly unspoken
After you too met
Love
Walking down
One of her long crimson
Highways
And do you
Still
Feel her intense pain
Today
In every known unforgiving way
Linked to
That pivotal moment when she smiled
Turned and just upped
And walked away
Leaving you lonely
With no one
To love or play

A lone voice whispers
The invisible Angel smiled at the rows of sorrowful patients
Which lay before it on ward twenty-one of Saint Peters hospital
In New Brunswick
New Jersey
As it then looked at just one particular sorry soul whose body was now broken and bent
For it was why he was summoned by heartfelt prayers
Whispered to be heard
For it to be dutifully sent
The smile it carried wasn't a smile of ill judgement
Or dismay but of immense hope
To change the sad vibrations at play
For it knew the recently diagnosed patient would find the tenacity and strength to eventually cope
For they all do
It's a silent degree
A line spoken by the Almighty
Which all things follow if they believe whatever it says
All they have to do is call for them and pray
To summon angels from The Great In-Between
The bringers of such priceless envelopes to soothe the soul
The invisible folk
Who'll follow like betrothed guardian philanthropists
Just huddled together
Sleeping
In the shade of the Great In-Between trees
The Eternal Water Oaks
Waiting for psychic calls to spring into action
Flying into the lonely caressing arms of the swirling grey mists
Which moved and flowed all around
Like it had a phenomenal supernatural intelligence
Hiding those sleeping
By The Great Grey Oaks
Hidden
By its holy smoke which it uses to cloak
A lone voice whispers.
Those who'd like to paint the globe in anxious red paint
For people to comply for their own safety
With a straight face

Musings as I watch the world spin into free-fall.
Corrupt politicians
Parties during lockdown.
Boris Nonsense
War in Ukraine
Media lies
Tucker Carlson making sense
Joe Rogan offering, collectively 1.5 million dollars for a debate
And the list could go on.
Take care of yourself.
But help just someone when you can.
Salute.

As written in the Greatest Old Book in here
Only found by the select few but I Melak
The Everlasting
Will share a few lines from memory just for you
May the Great Light of Illumination shine and reach all
By reading this
Who needs it
May it be summoned through these written words
And reach deep into any weary heart
To help them find the strength and tenacity to never quit
To lift them up to new self-fulfilling heights
Away from the many charlatans
Deceivers and Gossips who may surround them
Day or Night
Blind people with deep pockets filled with unwanted deposits
Who suddenly appear with a burst of thunder
Like a green-eyed Colossus
To try to muddy the Lord's clear waters
But fear not
They will be cast asunder
For such is the power of the Lord
Be strong
Not proud
Be kind
Not mean
Be the real you
A human being you would like to converse and share stories with
It's how you'll build that bridge you so need to find true happiness
Before all hope disappears
And the Dark Gatekeepers and Toll Bearers to depression
Appear
Now say after me
Amen
