Starbreath

I think it’s time you faced reality
And let go of your
Preconceived notions
The moment has arrived
For you to abandon
Your crazy ideas
Shut the door
On the haunted house
You’ve built
Face the real world
You see now
All the ghouls
And slave drivers
Wear your twisted face
Relax
Get your head
Out of the clouds
And set your sights
Lower to the ground
Where reality is thick
Enough to breathe
And wrap your head around
The fact
You are starbreath
An utter miracle
Who speaks
With a voice of thunder
Who trails universes
In their wake

Hero

Hero

Our love
Of the superhuman
The warrior kicking ass
Slaying hordes of evil
In a blur of movement
The dexterity of ecstasy
Rippling outward
To touch the twisted face
Of evil
And set it to rest

The heart beats faster
We feel centered
And powerful
Ourselves
We identify
With the impossible
Strength
The impossible
Grace
Because we carry it
Within us
Protecting the flame
With cupped hands
Shielding the small life
From torrential storm
We don’t need to be told
Of this flame
We just know
And when we see
The hero
Kicking ass
We just know
This is the power
Of our spirit
This tiny flame
That can grow
To a raging cyclone of fire
And dominate
Every aspect of our lives
Enslave us
Bend us to its will
But it does not do that
It burns quietly
Waiting for us
To fan it to life
With our
Intention and breath
We are all
That
But we must all
Come to this conclusion
Alone

Free will
Is the gift
The key
To unlock
The chains
To become the
Indomitable master
Nothing can touch
The calm
At the center
Of the storm

Warrior

Warrior

The inner state of a true spiritual warrior is one of constant surrender.
