Connections & Understandings
Use love against violence
When I opened my eyes
I saw copper leaves, breathing trees, and lakes of wonder
Bodies of energy I could plunge into
Simple things, yet so monumental
Moons bathing in tranquility
Suns lighting entire cities
Connections & Understandings without words
So much love I didn't know hurt
I envisioned a time
Before I questioned my worth
Before they treated us like dirt
and set a flame to Mother Earth
Before sacred life was nothing more than a purse or some wall decor' and fake food filled the aisles of grocery stores
Before vibrations were as distorted as HIStory
and there was no one left to tell his story
A time before we settled for a "good morning" to mourning families
While murderers taste glory through fabricated news stories
No Connections, no understandings
Too many words and not enough love
I danced with hurt
When I closed my eyes
I realized mortality internalized
There lied the building blocks to my demise
Light blues were now dark grays
Where happiness flowed rage grew in it's place
But I heard an ((echo)) in silence
It said, "use love against the violence."
I watched darkness and light become one
From that every single color spun into an infinite web
Touching hearts and kissing forehead's
Who knew I could reach the galaxies from this bed?
My eyes opened
All around me were connections and overstandings without words
So much love I let go of the hurt

Adventures with Orgone
A caged barn owl, I pondered. What sense does that make? Growing up I dreamed of being an owl because they seemed so wise and free. They didn’t need materials to define their identity. They were on their own schedule. Sleeping when most are awake and feasting at night when most least expect. I’d hear their hoots from a far, and If I was lucky, I’d find the culprit. So much mystery- too much to be locked away and stripped of their game with prey. Maybe it was my love for them that brought me here. Or maybe she cried out to me hoping I’d set her free. I was always an adventurous girl, but even I was stunned that I was trekking through the woods alone at night. It was as if something was calling me; a call that I couldn’t ignore. An hour passed and I was covered in dirt and twigs. This area was unfamiliar to me, but my swift and sure moves said otherwise. In all this darkness, shined a light. Suddenly, I knew that was my beacon. There was a window to a house I’d never seen before. I had no idea where I was or whose land I was trespassing on. I didn’t care; I followed my gut. I looked in and big, beautiful eyes pierced through me. The fire behind them set a flame to my heart.
