Reaching the Crossroads of Infinity

Choosing directional pull

At the crossroads — yet again — sorting through the rubble. Brushing off the dirt — tainted sandaled feet — hoping for smoother ground.

Readied pounce — opportunities knocking louder than before — yet still a tethering to grounded floors. Waiting patiently — all systems go — like a rocket ship blasting to altered galaxies.

Bated breath — anxiety exchanging glimpses of weightless being — it is nearly time. Anticipation — childhood memories of the red, white, and blue flavor of bomb-pops delight.

Just the mere observation of events — years of pain lifting with an immediate breath — the time has come — realities are shifting. Listen to the body sing — effortless movement hitherto — confirmation received in releasing all there ever was.

Songbirds singing — praises for another day — echoing songs of past, present, and future more. Our days have passed — no longer bound to the songs of the fallen ones.

Breathing in the past — ancient ones forgotten tune — releasing one final breath. Breathing in the future — calling all angels — possibilities left at the crossroads of infinity.

Thank you Diana C., Spyder, Ravyne Hawke, and the whole Know Thyself Heal Thyself family for holding this sacred space.

Much gratitude for those who take time to read, ponder, and allow the inner workings of self to come forward. Grateful for the feedback, love shared, and, more importantly, the Dance with Inspiration. Deep Peace.

Hearing Nature’s Cry

Hearing Nature’s Cry

Nothingness returning…All There Is

Sunrise over Lake Butte des Morts, Oshkosh, WI-taken by author

Sitting quietly in the Collective
Hearing Nature’s cry
People discourse
Ebb and flow
Pounding head
Clarity swift as a blink
Listening to a balanced melody
Dissonance or harmonic
Self eval weighing of reality
Morning sip nourishing thought passerby
Abandoning self-defeating past-present-future
Giving thanks for sadness

Grief

Heartbreaking present be
Zero Point magical transmuted realities
Returning to the Canvas
Creating corporeality
Bowing to Collective
How might I serve
Sharing gifts
Sing Sang Sung unto Thee.

Heartbreak. Heart lifting.

Oh, questions pouring in
Sadness attaches to darkened feelings
Confusion sits at the tables end
Contemplated reality sets a plate
Gazed and glazed
Outwardly approach
Songbirds gather round
Singing hearts joyous melody

What’s this?

Happy Squirrel eating nuts upon a shed
Inwardly return
Joyous smile henceforth
What was I thinking?
Forgotten once again…nothingness returns
All There Is.

~Ani Po


As I sit with the confusion of the collective — gathering thoughts — embodying this feeling, making it my own. Breathing into the darkened reality — transmuting thoughts — deeper understanding, footing all the same.
