The Mirror Ball

The Mirror Ball

The Mirror Ball

The Mirror Ball

 

One World Love.

Profound Peace. Unity.

Bliss. Joy. Harmony.

Unspeakable Beauty.

 

But sometimes we forget;

debasing humanity,

we waiver from reality…

wander into potentiality:

‘You can have it All!’

it tempts,

with outrageous

hospitality;

The Come Inn

at the end of the world.

 

 Cut off from Love,

alienated

from Life…

suffering, struggling, endless strife….

our world becomes fragmented

and it’s all about me.

 

For as we step inn-side,

we commit phantastiside;

nothing here is real;

all of it’s potential; ­­­

to grasp this is essential,

for our energy is fuel;

all our hyper-tensions

inflate the whole dimension,

as we strive for ever-more,

the malignant ego’s whore;

fuelling wanton self-destruction

and the door we came through’s sealed.

 

Can we sense our confusion?

Manipulating delusions.

Can we hear the echoes

tearing down the hall,

ricocheting off the walls,

as we think we have it All,

dancing at the Mirror Ball?

 

Can we see Love

in these reflections;

these maddening projections,

introjections, and perceptions;

this insane self-deception;

aggrandisement and rejection.

 

Let Us Love

even here.

Let Us Love

through any fear.

 

For in a world that is divided,

polarised and one-sided,

Love encompasses All.

 

Do we remember

how beautiful we are?

 

Into the mirror years

we peer,

Do we See

and do we Hear?

 

Love.

In these uncertain times in which we live, I wonder if mirror years are offering up a chance for reflection?

I wrote another poem and I’m delighted Jac has turned it into another limited edition print.

You can buy one here.

Wishing you peace and Love.

Mirror Matrix

Mirror Matrix

Feb 12, 2021 | art, DeepCheque, poetry, The Ego Delusion

Mirror Matrix

Mirror Matrix
Mirror Matrix

Mirror Matrix

 

Warping reality,

Malignant Ego spins,

matrix within Matrix;

A complex of worlds within.

bubble within Bubble

echoes fake Eternity;

mirrors mirror Mirrors,

reflecting false Infinity;

Vortexes spin,

sucking us in

to a new dimensionality,

Full of potentiality,

Promising more

Than All There Is.

 

As Deludes we Think

We are Superior,

Believe

all else is inferior,

But the reality we’re Faking,

the construct we’re co-creating

is a cage built with Enmity,

infused with Hostility,

enmeshed with Stupidity,

that holds us Bound within.

 

Ignorance is Artillery

for the Malignancy

that plays us

Shamelessly.

The bedrock of Duplicity,

knowing not civility,

unaware of its Futility,

Care-less in our Destruction,

for it only seeks to Strengthen

Its Dominion

and its grip

Tightens.

 

So, we are Barred from reality,

Trapped in Mortality,

A Duality

increasing Polarity,

The cycle repeats Endlessly,

And the Matrix forms a skin.

 

The Mirage of Mal Ego’s making,

Sheer, and yet breath-taking,

Its twisting, writhing Trickery,

Its carefully crafted Mimicry,

The Void it’s generating,

Life-and-Love forsaking,

Is the means of our escaping.

For when it is Intense

The illusion’s thick and Dense,

There’s a point where the Insanity

Is clear to comprehend.

It’s not a bottomless pit,

The Madness has an End.

 

If you can own your own Reflection?

Can you see through the Projection?

In the midst of this hell-making

can we love,

even Here?

 

Will we still seek to Conquer,

Imagining we’ll Prosper?

Will we still Aspire

to be dragged

down,

down,

down,

into the Mire?

 

Dear friends, can we see?

Can we find humility?

Be peaceful and accept?

Or will we Fight and Reject

Humanity?

Can we be?

Can we rise up?

Be free?

 

Do you know how beautiful you are?

 

The day has come,

the time is now.

And the choice is ours

to make.

 

As the Lunar New Year falls on a mirror date this year, I wonder what 2021 will reflect – and if we will see what we need to see in the reflection.

I wrote a poem and I’m delighted Jac has turned it into a limited edition print.

Wishing you peace and Love.
