Vanity Cries

Deep inside a stardust mind...

[vanitycries]

Even after all this time, there was a part of me that still wanted 'this'.

You...

That feeling...

All that you churned in me had been buried long ago.

Yet, despite my resolve, the seeds had been sown

and they refused to die.

Like my heart once did...

And in that moment, the only thing that mattered was you and me.

So kiss me...🫦🔥

Sometimes, it's just how you feel...

A moment comes,

And it washes over you like the night sky.

Eviscerating the light that once was,

Leaving nothing but the shadows... Cb x

I will tell you how it worked out for me. One day I decided to drop all the notions from my mind; words, thoughts, desires and just remain in quietude. After a while, I felt a little strange - as if I were being drawn into something or touched by an unknown power. I had brushed against this before, several times in fact, but each time I failed to persevere and was drawn back into confusion. This time, however, I resolved to persist, and—ztt!— the boundaries of my physical body dissolved. My entire perspective shifted; I was never created; everything was the cosmos. Wherever I walked, I was at the center of the cosmos. Whenever I encountered others, they all were the same person; myself-the-cosmos. I ran to my teacher, who looked at me and asked, "Tell me about this so-called state you have entered." But I could not respond, for I knew that if I uttered even a single word, I would return to confusion. We smiled, saying nothing.

What appears in time, changes and vanishes in time. It happens on its own accord; a procession in consciousness (call it destiny or accident). Knowing what you are outside of time opens the freedom to change your attitude. There lies your responsibility.

Long ago, a stone felt a tingle on its skin. Moss. A new feeling. A green feeling. The granite spoke of ages in the heat of deep Earth. The moss sang the taste of sunlight and the softness of salamander bellies. They named one another. And told those names to no one at all.

Identity

There's a silver bell in your rib cage.

When you're trying to fall asleep, you feel for it,

like a tongue mapping a chipped tooth.

One day,

you'll find it and it will ring cold and clear as an autumn lake.

That sound will be who you are,

warm certainty like a belly full of hot soup,

until it fades.

Then, you'll search again.

(From my poetry collection: Field Guide to the Haunted Forest by Jarod K Anderson)
