Metamorphosis

 video

 nitrogen with gases...breathing
penetrating lungs then leaving
oxygen comes in and changes
to CO2 for plant exchanges -

electric currents flowing inside
power everything as we ride
thought streams formed by our perceptions
of reality with no deceptions -

consciousness...I am, you are
together near a yellow dwarf star
in a spiraling and endless story
magnetically attracted for the

metamorphosis, the always changing
like butterflies and feeling strange in
places that we have never been...
sometimes awake is like a dream

penetrating mind then leaving
the rhythmic pulsing of our breathing
out and in and out and in
to the very end where we begin

remembering to change, to metamorphize
while feeling very strange as what dies
disappears yet still we are
together near a yellow dwarf star....

Into the Evergreen

 video

 into the forest, into the mountains
into the evergreen,
into far away from
everywhere I've been -

no more psychically disturbing
other people's thoughts
other people's calculating
other people's noughts -

sitting still and meditating
into communion
watching breathing, enraptured leaving
the city for the sun

whose photon fairies bounce from aeries,
dappling the ground
a quiet hush, a raven's rush
wings' beating whooshing sound -

standing calmly all around me
trees above and too below
embraced unseen by evergreen
beings high and low -

into the present from the future
letting go the past
into breathing, watching, leaving
all that doesn't last...
