The Mirror Ball

The Mirror Ball

The Mirror Ball

The Mirror Ball

Ā 

One World Love.

Profound Peace. Unity.

Bliss. Joy. Harmony.

Unspeakable Beauty.

Ā 

But sometimes we forget;

debasing humanity,

we waiver from reality…

wander into potentiality:

ā€˜YouĀ canĀ haveĀ itĀ All!’

itĀ tempts,

withĀ outrageous

hospitality;

TheĀ ComeĀ Inn

atĀ theĀ endĀ ofĀ theĀ world.

Ā 

Ā Cut off from Love,

alienated

from Life…

suffering, struggling, endless strife….

our world becomes fragmented

and it’s all about me.

Ā 

For asĀ weĀ stepĀ inn-side,

weĀ commitĀ phantastiside;

nothingĀ hereĀ isĀ real;

all of it’s potential; Ā­Ā­Ā­

toĀ graspĀ thisĀ isĀ essential,

for ourĀ energyĀ isĀ fuel;

allĀ ourĀ hyper-tensions

inflateĀ theĀ wholeĀ dimension,

asĀ weĀ striveĀ forĀ ever-more,

theĀ malignantĀ ego’sĀ whore;

fuelling wanton self-destruction

andĀ theĀ doorĀ weĀ cameĀ through’sĀ sealed.

Ā 

CanĀ weĀ senseĀ ourĀ confusion?

Manipulating delusions.

CanĀ weĀ hearĀ theĀ echoes

tearingĀ downĀ theĀ hall,

ricochetingĀ offĀ theĀ walls,

asĀ weĀ thinkĀ weĀ haveĀ itĀ All,

dancing atĀ theĀ MirrorĀ Ball?

Ā 

CanĀ weĀ seeĀ Love

inĀ theseĀ reflections;

theseĀ maddeningĀ projections,

introjections, and perceptions;

this insane self-deception;

aggrandisementĀ andĀ rejection.

Ā 

LetĀ UsĀ Love

evenĀ here.

LetĀ UsĀ Love

throughĀ anyĀ fear.

Ā 

For in a world that is divided,

polarised and one-sided,

Love encompasses All.

Ā 

DoĀ weĀ remember

howĀ beautifulĀ weĀ are?

Ā 

IntoĀ theĀ mirrorĀ years

weĀ peer,

DoĀ weĀ See

andĀ doĀ weĀ Hear?

Ā 

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.

LoveĀ  Life

Mirror  Matrix

Mirror Matrix

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.
