ripples

the pull of the pool

"amassed media" ⸘jason alan‽ acrylics on canvass 8"x8"

disarming the future with ripples

the pull of the pool reaches the whole world

life as a compass navigating in relation to its opposite

sheds the old skins and antlers

too long lived in

shopping for distractions

and the easiest ways to forget

avoid how to consciously stand independent

as a sovereignty, supreme, omnipotent

to clarify the fog by the numbers

it calls four chimes

now transmuted to knowledge

escape, observe, and hold in good fortune and luck

pause in the chaos until it feels like home

remember the power of goodbye

i heard there's nothing greater from the radio

not so competitive

no hard feelings

just forward

springing initiation and change

honesty is expressing the authenticity

true to me, tenderly ensuring

willful action, different

infant rebirth to begin a new chapter

the shadow shows darkest from the brightest places

be humble, stay grounded

but never give up
