My Ins and Outs

Here we are, once again. Shades of blue from within. The sky is up, the ground is down. The horizon of me is what I've found.

I sit still to feel my deepest vibration, an energy that heals my colorful tribulations, while I star gaze at my multiple imperfections.

Pearls, diamonds, and rubies can't set me free but I continue to swing, twirl, and dance. The world is round, the galaxy is wide. There’s plenty and nothing that I will hide. Down at the barrels of my soul, I fight to let go of control. Not to lose it but to let it find me again and again.

It stared at me from across the room. A thousand smiles on my sullen wall. My obscurities and I fill this velvet space, madness I can taste. What a beautiful earthquake.

Another shot of Hennessey. Toast to the sunrise.

Yellow and blue make a beautiful green, so serene. Drive and patience make progress. So, I tell myself to go, go, go.
