awakening

asleep ancient me

darker than black

buried alone

in my seattle apartment

my gray turtle's meager mortality

my gray giraffe's frowning fragility

my gray lobster's linear ennui

polarized in binary

my gray gator's selfish destruction

my gray tiger's ignorant revenge

my gray cardinal's rigid rejection

captured in scarcity

my gray frog's fearful forgetfulness

my gray chick's confused confinement

my gray ladybug's delusional doing

suffocated in slavery

night knot of death yet

no thought remains

blank and waiting

cruise ship's cantelope glow piercing the gray fog of aqua dark dawn

instantly now, remembered alive!

secured in the infinite silence

flowing aware

ignited heart bursting

freed back to morning life

bright peaches' authentic being

bright strawberries' clarity released

bright avacados' fearless remembering

relaxed in sovereignty

bright lemons' fluid acceptance

bright apples' knowing forgiveness

bright limes' selfless creations

liberated in abundance

bright apricots' simultaneous excitement

bright cherries' smiling strength

bright kiwis' invincible eternity

unified in consciousness

lifted together

beyond our universal wilderness

brighter than white

us awake now

inspirational
