Black Hole Unique

Black Hole Unique

You fear being faceless
To the marrow of your
Unseen white bones

Bred to feel unique
This may be your
Greatest curse

The dull emotion
That puppets
The bones
Under the curse
Of uniqueness
Is like a black hole
Sucking in the
Material world
As sacrifice
To feed the fire
Of illusion

Remember
Reality
Is its own
Foundation
And illusion
Is a bonfire
Rapaciously
Swallowing
Forests whole

Do not fear being
Common
Unplug yourself
From the machine
That projects
Phantoms
Of uniqueness
Watch those
Puppets
Implode
Under the strain
And know
Eventually
No one can bear
The lie
For we are
As common
And uniform
As leaves
Spreading above
A great trunk
Of grace

Our only job is
To serve
As we gather
The light from above
And pray

I Don't Wish To Serve


I Don't Wish To Serve

I don’t wish to serve you
I want my hands
And heart unbound
So that I may wrap
My arms around you
At any moment
Exactly when you need it

I don’t wish to serve
The ideas you have
About me
For they are inevitably
Untrue
I want to remain free
So that I may grow
Toward the sun
Unhindered

I don’t wish to serve you
I want to employ my strength
Not in the construction of
Your reflections
But
In weaving the invisible
Web of love
So that all creatures may
Seek comfort
And shelter
From the storm
Of selfishness
That blows like a hurricane
Through the space between threads
