“Self-obfuscation is a mirror reflecting the forgotten truth that our souls are nothing but a partial image of the impermanent.”

Benjamin Lee Hopper

Quantum Tunneling:

Shackled wishes shatter glass when falling past all hope-stained windows foggy breathe-framed glossed terrain like scattered diamonds strewn in moon light glistening free in the foot of Father Time like all my lost thoughts that once aligned with faulty fictions sending conscious enmity deep set like fractured silver needles helplessly sunk in the skin of self-protective hard-born wisdom acquisitioned through my youthful fallacy by failing effortlessly hollow overcoming contraception after recklessly taught how I should have followed cloud-based patterns hanging grey matte-framed in manic incantational reverie allowing omens right of passage in a tunnel meant to be a sacred journey for the wisher staring through their own two retinas heralding the hope that they will find their own Truth.

. . | Meditation 2 | . I am the hollow; the uncollapsed ambient sound suspended in the rin singing bowl of the cosmos; the mum ring echoing in a void bolstered by infinity, the tacit vacuum of banality; an arrested tone in the chambers of my adytum, where deaf creatures lost deep inside breach while searching for egress but stumble within my reach; I am the ambrosial mind speak reverberating inside the walls of willing ears in hopes to meet their hunger’s need with transient healing whispers of unwavering heed towards every form calling forth to be fully saturated by the testimony: “Yes, you are already that which your heart most hopes to become;” but the words fall through my ears and back onto my tongue, for I the one speaking; the only one to receive; I am the hollow. . -@benjamin_lee_hopper- . . . . . #almostlikepoetry #benjaminleehopper #writersofinstagram #poetsofig #poetsofinstagram #spilledink #poem #poet #poems #poetry #universe #fractal #instapoet #instapoetry #instapoem #vsco #vscocam #musing #nofilter #instamood #instagood #poetryisnotdead #wordporn #bookstagram #creativewriting #poetrycommunity #philosophy #eyeview #aesthetics #mextures (at Denver, Colorado) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bs9hjongVpo/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1urh6wbl2grhm

| Peace Like A River |

Does not water, though it conforms around any shape, still retain its same form, just as a Human™ remains whole when they wrap their arms around another in a loving embrace? So too shall you live your life, practicing plasticity, just as calm water hugging a stubborn boulder slowly erodes it away.

. . | Shedding Skin | . Sustained in stasis, safely resting in the comfort of unhollowed chitin tightly fit, unblemished armor coarsely touching every inch of zeal, constricting sheets of hardened steel wrapped tight against sweat-softened skin, instilling limitations in the frame of wisdom's holder, stunting growth like dystrophy forever silencing the hard-forgotten static that inspired the awakening of long-forlorn chimera that once rose the swarm up from the Earth to challenge every boundary encapsulating life from reaching further into new frontiers beyond the shell of former understanding and reveal new skin to let the Self Become a little larger. . -Almost Like Poetry- . . . #almostlikepoetry #benjaminleehopper #instapoetry #instapoem #poem #poetsofinstagram #poet #poetry #poetrycommunity #writersofinstagram #cicada #instabug #musings #vsco #vscocam #philosophy #quote #quotes #nofilter #picoftheday #photography #photooftheday #instagood
