what about 
that sometimes
romantic dream
where you
are real
when I'm
not alone
but then
I wake
to find
you are
truly gone
foolishly something
about dreams
they don't
last long
truthfully something
about you
all about
passionate love
or so
it seems

does God
ever speak
without thinking
would God
create things
without blinking
could God
break things
after drinking
should God
float things
save sinking
what if
God would
make things
much better
what could
God do
writing things
prophetic letters
maybe thinking
God should
speak words
reform swords
some thing
forever better
maybe dreaming
we should
reform words
creating poems
thinking God
speaks poetry
not simply
enlightened words
creation thinking
divine letters
does God
ever digress
think God
sacred ingress
thank God
divine progress

what if
love died
what would
could we
ever do
what if
we all
went blind
maybe sunlight
would be
less important
maybe we
would adapt
become absolute
dense underground
cave blind
but senseless
tinned fish
inside inner
never see
rich gorgeous
dynamic light
what if
utter madness
manic us
took all
panic everyone
never talking
no anyone
longer walking
only crawling
what then
my human
fellow beings
that where
nothing scene
means all
since anything
we are
our father's
mother's dreams
eroding rock
demanding divine
insane erosion
blame sand
grinding things
sad incline
madly blind
want unraveling
travail brings
traveled grief
perhaps something
refines adept
again dreams
righteous love
vying light
trying left
bereft space
sad empty
difficult place
truth finds
love dies
evolving heart
lost grace
confusing sound
displacing parts
that sightless
disgraced place
crazed mind
romance drowns
stasis profound
emotion love
goes blind
never seeing
ever being
something sensational
crying love's
blind impassioned
dying face

out digging
rooting around
spade and fork
pulling weeds 
hoeing admittedly
this rakish world
show me stylish
dashing work
this holy ground
let me hear
life singing sweetly
unfettered sparrows
resplendent tweets
alight on this
project Eden
honey romancing yarrow
garden mounds
caressing furrows
so kitchen knife
buttered sorrows
thus dinner fork
viral broccoli
other spiral vegetables
something green
profound chlorophyll
tumbling clouds
reflecting light
angular gleaning
feeding eclectic
electric nature
letting sacred
get elective
introspective sound
freedom soul
reflecting earth
free your heart
grounding future
but yet
astounding yoga
those tortured
apex mountains
north wind
rugged creatures
faults and all
crest fallen
but that
forward calling
into unfettered
sprouting poems
sacred fountains
spouting intellectual
obstrusive foam
as hurried oceans
shout and rise
so keep digging
rooting around
hoe away
cutting up
night into day
legendary disguise
split that
big surmise
shift weeds
expose roots
dig nature
healer mother
lover earth
creature medicine
gifts of myrrh 
sap from reticence
digging up stories
what is
all this
so never
give up
gathering holy
what sacred
truly is
sanctuary medicine
enigma into glory
Eden's whole story
truly worthy
this holy planet
legendary turf
want mixed
with needs
digging elixir
fissured roots
treasured girth
applicating weeds
adapting fruit
divine glory
nature's stature
given apt birth
cultivating sacred
planting storied seeds
creative truth
digging and rooting
celestial worth

someone said
we are war
but I am
forever disagreeable
never war
yet I am
war's crater
bereft creeping
deep in that
drooling pit
through war torn
over fragmented
crass ground 
blasted war
stylish remnant
old king glory
pitching pitiful
depicting life
across those
many wars
bodies piled high
torn bits
enriching creature
bitter critter strife
immortal infraction
courting destruction
but fly by
seeking peace
what inspiring love
desires mortal loss
just try me
bleak prince
yet at least
divinity's cost
what above meant
perhaps each
insipid explosion
each escalation
war's eclectic
every tearing down
those wearing crowns
commanding castles
eccentric domain
peace selectivity
selectively stolen
rampant greed
such bold devotion
withhold this pastoral
misdirected invitation
into wretched war
that deep crater
I'm crawling
around in
clawing my
out of sight
delirious way
through darkness
blind throughout
its all night
all that
grinding recognizance 
what about biting love 
what truly matters
yells and shouts
each brutal stance
reminding romance
war is this
yet peaceful 
finding love
reason's chance  
fifty fifty love
there is 
that room
looming doom
we should
have chosen
peace and love
instead we
choose war
with each
volcanic explosion
bombs leave us
crawling exposed
reeling and creeping
in war's deep
defeating craters
someone said
what matters
maybe sooner
perhaps later
we will
discover more
we are
should be
profound glory
this human race
demanding more
so seldom sorry
delivering unsound
commanding war
this roundly devastating
relevating story
war never more
for love and glory
those storied kisses
compassion stating
war no more

one last breath
this failing heart
one dying ember
that final spark
creation's best
so before dying
life's giving part
what have you
completely done
each first breath
beneath this sun
those first heartbeats
this solar run
building lifetimes
so deep within
love's creative fire
your perfect
surely everlasting
burning soul
this living desire
your intrepid life
do you conspire
or need saving
what about living
can you ever
keep time's secret
solar rays moreover
what about dying
finally going nova
that final breath
your last heartbeat
breathless existence
such heartfelt living
solaris aspiring
dreaming time's secret
divinity's blazing attire
that timeless insistence
holy creation
breathlessly dying

oh vibrant wings
sublime compassion
full strident angel
calling out mystery
crushing tank tracks
embossing history
sentient rationality
bullets engaging grenades
those rushed trenches
someone screams
amputation accolades
war's lush intention
one dreaming billionaire
crushing remuneration
one billion being poor
cash mad billionaires
flash superior spoor
when you find it
eat dirt
wounding hurt
just trying
to stay alive
rising denied
just saying
another sighing
zygote billionaire
another billion dying
missiles inviting drones
who truly cares
maybe bleeding children
mothers tragically crying
every other daring
brash lie
drastic bombs
burned out streets
propaganda psalm
yet another
magic calm
boiling cauldrons
pompas billionaires
building tanks
another flash billion
mega millions
poor into broken
consumed by rank
exhume love
buried beneath
tortured hell
desire burns 
far below 
such exuberance
scarface apocalypse
surely above
how low
war goes
yearning fire
just how high
billionaire shows
continue trying
orbiting satellites
vacuum space catalyst
exciting rockets
yet this
vacuous mass
spatial infringement
trashing humans
crashing community
into broken wings
impunity waged
for those ingots
cagey billionaires
such hellish hubris
razing things
crazy war lust
oh raging angel
mark me
your trusted sage
sacred number
engaging love
refined umber
lord of peace
please find
blind mummers
reminding those
crazed billionaires
enraged peace
streaming down
from sacred
divine station
passionate hearts
dream action
a superior kind
such treasured
replete wisdom
existing purely
completely within
Creation's holy
enshrined mind
