 survival... the constant battle

a spiritual tone of consciousness
generated beyond thinking

an awareness not quite honed
still, there... somewhere

to proclaim this tenuous grasp of existence
trying repeatedly to ascend...

to our natural home
a resting place

to launch our next step
into any open space

with promise
keeping pace with our imagination

crossing desert lands
hardening our resolve to get us there

thrones calling for emperors
as signals of individuals

are simultaneously being erased
to the right and left of us

as we struggle , keeping pace
even as we drop down

newly born into this storm
pre-programmed

to be led... until
we learn the code to rise

from the sacred wombs
of our motherships

ready with our pixel
to be placed onto the mosaic

of who we are
as members of

yet another wave of an invasion
colonization of this world

to build or to destroy as we identify good or evil

we fall into the ready-made molds
or gain control master our minds, bend time

make space, to blend ideas
decisions made or unmade

circumstantial calculus
essentially a path taken by chance

as we hear the call of destiny...
our chain unspoken come to be our new reality

broken links, mystical/magical undercurrents
impossibly made whole...

as our ever-changing roles
plays across diverse dimensions

each motion a renewal of a mortality
which stretches beyond our imaginations

divided not by suggestion
but by our understanding

even our ideas,
factors in the equation

of myths, which arise
as we look to new horizons

in the guise of demanding understanding
from unseen forces

God, with keys
to the gates of eternity

blind-sight
unknown dreams...

yet to be captured
within our mindsight

perhaps to be revealed
by fragments of a puzzle

a level-up to sift and reassemble
within our sleeping minds

seeking what truths
elusive, even to the wise

surprised by unwritten proof
some captured

only in the glyphs
of ancient civilizations

secrets buried in the ashes
of fallen nations

inscribed by invisible voices
choices made by those

unaware of the logic
and/or strategic consequences

while simply motivated by
finding fragments

as we become
scavengers

creating symbols to represent
a greater understanding

assembled means to supplement
the passing of our genes

gathered singly or
shared between others

chosen, inadvertently,
at times

as we seek common-grounds
in attempt to finding ways

to avoid grave circumstances
when our only chances were...

to live on or sacrifice
by principles open-ending

in the survivors existence
to try to remember

why we are ...Here
values/principles

in a constant struggle to survive
the ugly people

we all can be/are sometimes
imbued with evil-strength and ties

to the demonic forces
within us all

those resistant
to the call of ages

We the people
celebrate through dances

knowing all too well
our wedding dance with death

awaits us...

our only chance to elude/evade
were stories of ancestral visions

wherein our souls surrender
was to be met

by our departed next of kin

Should we prove worthy to be continued
Our progeny would give us

a right to be continued,

a proverbial second wind
materialized, in signs we read...

or stumble toward blindly

as we learn/are led to recognize
we are just remnants of a carrier wave

send/or realized once we knew

that we were already here...
an unsent prayer arriving,

felt an unforgiving world
close in from all directions

and those whose souls were with us
kept leaving us...

alone

a constant reminder
to just how vulnerable we are

as we continue to evaluate our sense
of wholeness

at best a moment in reflection
seeking whatever protection

our minds could provide

a loose assembly made and unmade
in effort to provide

what semblance of peace
we could gather with allies

as we bear witness
to changing alliances

learning to use what tools
even taming violence

an ancient weapon,
violence

balancing our need to preserve
our sense of identity

through real or imagined
trouble...

gaining, losing space
the battlegrounds of eternity

like tumbleweeds
crossing astral planes

answering the question
posed by the spirit-wind

within
