Morning Mirrors

Reflect on the reflections you see in the mirror...

This is what I have to do today: The list goes on and on As I brush my teeth And floss the thoughts out. I look into the mirror and tell myself, Swishing mouthwash around, I don’t want to worry in the morning About getting things done that I Haven’t even started yet; That’s a big task. So I splash water on my face, And my reflection tells me to: Stop thinking Start doing And keep living. I scrub Aveda face wash The soothing smells of their Selectively chosen scents Seeping into my pores. I remind myself that I’m washing my face. This is what I’m doing Right now And keep doing See what happens next. “Let your life lead the way And control it less,” Says my reflection in the mirror. And I look at myself One more time to say: “You can do it. Let’s go, Mary. You can do it.” So start doing And live right now.

“Get Away from it All” DW 1.20

All that is, is being, but being is hard on its own. That being said it's the simplest of things yet on leaving, it's being no more. out the door being heads, towards the wild blue yonder, into nothing it bumps and with nothing it treads but the tread is left back by the door with inertia and friction and thought and what's more is that more was left with less way back there and that small hole they bored into being's very being- that abscess in organic tissue to see through, that prism-called-portal the doorway to sea, That border of all that could be here on land. Now the sails set as curiosity accompanies our crew with soaring skies and out from port we escape, out into the deep blue beyond blue, beyond light, with our crew of no me and no he and no you, all together we now get away from it all.

Lost in the Nothingness

No noise, just silence. Cars buzz past. People jibber jabber nonsense On their phones. I'm left with that feeling of Loneliness Emptiness Nothingness Surrounded by everything Wishing I had it all. I'm slapped in the face by Bits & pieces Hitting me hard But I don't feel a thing. I keep moving forward. Pushing on Running faster and faster & soon the sounds catch up with me. Hitting like a wave Going off like a spaceship I'm left in the dust of my own destination & here I am trying to piece it all together When I need to be the one on that shuttle & fly away To not catch up with the sound But be one with the present.

Make Time to Stop Time

No noise, just silence. Cars buzz past. People jibber jabber nonsense On their phones. I'm left with that feeling of Loneliness Emptiness Nothingness Surrounded by everything Wishing I had it all But I'm slapped in the face by Bits & pieces Hitting me hard But I don't feel a thing. I keep moving forward. Pushing on Running faster & faster & soon the sounds catch up with me.
