SAVE WE SPOKE

Out somewhere
Into multiple countries
Producers, directors
Were guest.
Somehow became center
Focus in conversation,
Answering a few questions
Turned into offers,
Then roles claiming
Countries that must be
Whatever country
Citizen words or phrases used
Were identified
With their own
Without being involved
Though not there
Consulted the higher
And higher amounts
Stated that were bidding
That each would top others
Doing roles.
Somehow every word spoken,
Move made demands attention
As though life not own.
At one point in a room
Put everyone out
Save we spoke
How to handle
The extreme focus
Attention and public scrutiny.
We seemed then
That we had to set up ways
To do our lives midst
The constant activities.
Later then
Area unaccessible,
Beyond balance point,
To others,
Only myself an unknown
Who must be
Managing beyond the point
All the unseen benefits
Activities here implied
Someone wanted
To know and hadn't access,
Realized that another thought
There!
Arrangement
Who was in charge
That area that was
What we'd set up
When we'd put everyone else
Out!
The room spoken within
At earlier point in dream sensed
That was part of each
Referred to countries,
All of them,
Not separate claims
Why from their perspectives,
They thought belonged
To their groupings.
Disillusionment
Childhood wounds
Falls
Phase begin
Natural self
Once knew
Seeking
Recover issues
Magical self!


Poetry #223

OUT AND BACK

Up take
Airport morning
Daily words
Breathe in, breathe out.
Siblings last night
Today
Beginnings acknowledge
Reflect growth
Since time leading
Soon to here,
One step at a time,
Une chose a la fois!
Goes faster when slower!
Still mind
Goes slower when faster!
Rushing
Out and back
Up again
More in to go out
As will to past
Extending limits
Expanded range
Outward without wobbles,
Push and pull
Out into the storm
Centered - in the eye - of intent.
Extend with non-attachment
Intent stated to only what use!
Illusions,
Cosmic stardust,
Mirage,
Dream ever changing,
Ever the same series
Causes and distinctions
Ready to retire!
