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

A Vision

A Vision

I fell through green leaves

Thousands of them

Whipping against my face

As my body plummeted

The foliage bore this

With such nimbleness

Not breaking

Just bending as I passed

On and on I fell until

You caught me in your slender arms

Cradled my momentum

And smiled when I looked into your

Violet eyes

You kissed me

With deep red lips and

Slipped your purple tongue over mine

With the sweetness of nectar

You became smaller and slid

Into my body through the opening you’d made

I stood tall with you inside me

I grew roots out my feet and

Became fast to the fertile earth

I raised my arms so that

Stems could shoot from my fingers

And rise quickly upwards

Sprouting leaves

Up to where they could unfurl

And bask in the sun

It felt so good

Down in the penumbra

I could feel the light pulse down my stem

Like a heartbeat

Not mine

But ours

Everything’s

Nutrients rose into my feet

I drank crystal clear water

And mixed it with the sun

This is my center

Where the everlasting light from above

Meets dark and loamy earth

A being grounded in shadow

Connected to golden light
