When the walls come tumbling down


When the walls come tumbling down

From self to worldly encounters, we plead

The world continues to spin with or without assistance — trapped by our existential belief or entrapment of collective truths — setting out to find another course. Stepping into the initiation of self-identifying realities — handed down by the ancient wisdom reserved for seekers pleading case before the cosmic hyperbole.

Bittersweet is the flesh binding trajectory — spirit calling to the winds of change — answers not but to echoing the pleas of families and communities’ pain-staking cry. We sit upon a sacred stump left by the Sequoia ripped from existence — a rotting corpse formidable to the meek unguided pilgrimage of a lonely path.

Holding sacred space — truth not fully translated to comprehension — Great Mystery calling upon those willing to walk away. Narrow is the way, open is the road — walking the solid yellow bordering this broken boulevard of dreams.

Devouring every book, attending every class — guru giving the nod to inner-knowing of what lay beyond the horizon. Stepping into the Canvas with a brush in hand — painting a new story-line, song-line, holding steady the bow in broken seas.

Self-inflicted wounds turn into self-healing songs shared with those willing to listen — afraid are they to step into the initiation of higher consciousness at first glance — accepting the path before them. Firmly standing ground, rocking and trembling with every step — into the unknown, they return, whence they came before spoken words.

On the threshold of being — contemplating muses, gathering thoughts — sharing in silence, peace deep within the soul — fragmented self, made whole. Observation greater than small — walls come tumbling down in grandiose proportions — bodies stacking up at the four corners of the globe.

Stand with me, dear ones holding space — sit with me, locking arms for this human race. Breathing in our troubled soul brothers and sisters — cleansing transmission of thought carried vibrational chorus line felt by very few.

No decoder ring, term penned by Marcus aka Gregory Maidman, but thoughts on emptiness this cloud-filled morn. When the world crumbles around us, and it probably has, we sit in quietude, holding space for those unable to.

Is it writer’s block? Sadness? Bleak outcomes for the week to come? Or is it an invitation to sit quietly, holding sacred space in knowing that all is present in love’s inviting tone. I will choose the latter and hope you will too.

These are my thoughts and maybe you relate or repel against these thoughts, that is ok. Thank you for sharing this moment in time.


Much gratitude for Diana C., jules, Spyder and Ravyne Hawke, along with this wonderful community KTHT.

I wrote the title with John Mellencamp coming to mind, hope you enjoy this song.


Universal timing, as this song comes on just after Mellencamp, I share with you now:

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.

Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For


Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For

Until one day it found me

Setting out on this path moving forward — no longer looking back, except to witness the steps arriving timely with each new footing, whether physical, spiritual or mystical plains of truths opening our objectivity. Forward vision gaining sight — letting go fantoosh ways of old — news knocking on our doors daily — telling us what to hear, see, believe, regardless of what our heart calls us to know.

Personal journey — scuppered at the edge of our heartfelt spinning energetic being, bleeding out till all our seeds rotten to the core — cracking open, germinating again. Pouring out contented casks nourishing spirits call — metronymic naming imprinted before birth, ancestral calling for awakening.

Following the masses, emptied song lines with no apparent end in sight — unseen, unknown, taking a turn down jagged, crooked roads — finding ourselves alone, treasure trove bursting into flames. Lighting our way, burning paths into historical shifts — doth not suffer hearing majorities judging thoughts, embracing the stones beneath our feet — paving the way.

Material has forgotten attachment to physical — plain sight igniting truths, before truth giving birth to all realities — returning to the one carrying many names — dropping labels along the roadside, free as a bird — spirit carries me. One thought above all — the expansive growth of knowing simultaneous unknowing — discoveries openness lifting, carrying us to where it all began.


Reflecting, forwarded projecting voice — echoing the ancient songs healing, soothing cries collective voice — sure-footed advancement. Zero-point flipping tides, turning memories — wiping clean the gibberish not yet gathered — waste management coming to aid digestive transmutation.

Something greater, this way comes — fixated on the one true home — self-believing, careful proceeding, approaching a place reserved for all willing to get out from under the preponderance of the world. Rejoice! Picket fence, rounding corners — purple door bigger than life — heartfelt knocking — arriving home.

My first thoughts to this prompt, was that of no longer having an objective but remaining in peace with self and the daily actions of others, believing in old ways of divide and conquering, knowing finite truths twisted by centuries of misguided steps.

Title song comes to mind, Still haven’t found what I’m looking for, continuing the search for answers to all of the forks in the road before us. To say that day has come, falsely exaggerated, realizing that there is yet more to this universal truth, waiting for our discovering of not knowing anything at all.

There is comfort in not knowing, judgment spewing from bell-curved dwellers, allowing a natural ebb and flow to it all. We arrive at a place we call home.

Firstly, putting this song on loop, as I look out into the cosmos for these words previously written. Please give it a listen.

Thank you Ravyne Hawke. jules, Christine Graves, Joanne Olivier, Marcus aka Gregory Maidman, and the whole PW family for sharing in this dance.

If you are not aware of the title song, here is a link to take you there.
