Meditation

Earthbound. All I have is this moment.

Earthbound. All I have is this moment.

What's that calling?

Do you hear that, what’s that sound?

I can’t make it out, the volume, so quiet yet so loud

Profound, when I try to listen, it disappears

Then when I avert my attention, there it is again in my ears

Can you hear it, too?

Or maybe I’m not describing it clearly to you

Because it’s not entirely clear to me

For you to see, try to picture a river rushing open into a beach

With a fever flushing your cheeks measured at one hundred and four degrees

When does the brain seize? At a hundred and six, turned to mush

So what you see in this consciousness in being close to death you are much

More alive than you could ever wish

Almost as if psilocybin mushrooms had been ingested

And in this clear levelheadedness there is no means of panic

But staring into the ocean, you are awoken, and you can manage

For the first time in this eerie silence

To feel the presence of the planet that forever surrounds

The balance.

What's that calling?

Do you hear that, what’s that sound?

I can’t make it out, the volume, so quiet yet so loud

Astounded, I stand in awe

Confounded by what I heard, contradicting what I saw

I observe no motion, not a movement has taken place

Yet unexpected silence, soothing, has left me amazed

Wait, listen… sssshhhh, there it is

So crisp, clean, clear

Thick, distinct, in sync with the ringing in my ear

That I often hear, from meditation

The sound of silence bouncing, but with the softest reverberation

An anti-vibration, resonating in the air

An unfamiliar frequency speaking to me

If that could comprehensibly occur

The most taut sound possible, that’s what I heard

What is that calling?

Why, I think it's the Earth

Hurting under attack by symbiotic parasites, urging me to find a cure

Offering me in return, infinite chaotic insight

Word.

Now I've got this pain in my brain, but it's not a migraine

Like I had a thought too strange to maintain, way out of range

A wavelength beyond my comprehension

So in order to stay sane, my brain brought painful protection

As a distraction from whatever it was I was thinking

This thoughtful rejection left me and thoughtless reflection, blinking

Sinking into the absence of thought, meditation

Pure observation from my spot, no persuasion

Not the slightest flex from a brain racing with anticipation craving what’s next

But rather a contentment, the peace of satisfaction

Of knowing nothing, no attachments, no emotional connections

No questions, no reaction.

Every breath I breathe, whenever my heart beat

Respiration, the intoxicating sensation of oxygen fills me

Life fills like me like miniature windmills within my inner biological circuitry

Surfacing once again upon release of carbon energy

Transfer to leaves, photosynthesis, through stem to twig to branch to tree

To the inner trunk, like rings in a stump

Light brings life, which in turn completes each and every month into season

And the moon comes and goes

Like leaves in deciduous forest, as evergreens persevere through snow

Frozen H2O, H, Hydrogen falls from heights

Once hot steam, now cold ice to liquid state

In soil where it comes to soak with nutrients of decomposed life, to grow, and in this way

The earth maximizes life as the sun provides heat

There is a proportion to which, naturally, animals and plants must exist, balancing

Carbon and oxygen mixed in the ozone

Although humans insist there's no need to consider this

We don't really know

We shall eventually pay if we persist, we’ve already exceeded the capacity of our own home

And burned a hole through the dome, that protects us

While our brain's deprived of oxygen collect dust, and we neglect trust

So the love expected of us seems as if it could never been, if ever was

And the natural rate at which we evolve can’t keep up

So, I must speak up.

As long as time is constant

Experience is forgotten

Open minds will harden

And like fruit turns rotten

Faith will soften

But slow time, slow your mind

And grow smart, from what is taught inside

Imagination is the key to knowledge of self

Inspiration helps to see this contains all else

All that of which is man-made, but distracts and accumulates with details and is not to be

Sought after in search of prophecy

For divine inspiration is required for divine revelation

Thus, clear communication with the astral population

Must be established, eliminating, limited sensual communicating

That the purpose may be revealed and the obvious may be fulfilled

To yield all that is inexplicable with the inevitable turning of the wheel.

Humans have the brain capacity to focus energy and create thoughts

But it seems there are certain instructions that we forgot

I'm just thinking, something you can't define, the vase unlimited reaches of my mind

Feeling confined, to the speed of my speech

So don’t ask for an explanation when you already know what it is I mean

It's hard to fit words to exactly what I'm feeling

And I talk a lot, but sometimes silence is more revealing

Think about it, take a deep breath and think

Or rather, do not

Meditation could be focus, but it's only controlled thought

From cold to hot, from pain to joy

Maintaining balance is a challenge in this void.

You'll never catch me in a church saying prayers, kneeling

Because I have my own means of spiritual healing

The creator knows everything, knows what I’m thinking

Knows my hopes, my fears, my motivation, my reasoning

Living is more than believing

And life is but a dream in the grand scheme of things

So I'm still receiving what I’m giving

Guiding strings and threads in the pattern of life’s weaving.

Everything exists, just not all on once

Eliminate time and space, and yes, it does

The next dimension, I’ve been there and back

No need to mention the impact, but I’m in tact

I have freed my spirit from my temple

To understand experience is essential

There lies much more than the eyes can see

Close your eyes and explore, soar and fly, high and free.

I am a dreamer, but don't think that makes me weak

For dreams foretell the future if you interpret the way they speak

To be conscious while asleep is the deeper reality

Look before you leap and become a casualty

Because much more matters see, than mere mortal operations

The soul lives eternally, peep your own meditations

People of other nations, and all over the earth

With dispersed populations, learn your true worth

Control your soul first, before you expire

Physical feelings of hurt, don’t pertain to those higher

I am no liar, nor am I prophet

Only driven by the desire to dream, and so I offer it

Just because this is how it is, doesn’t mean this is how it has to be

Don’t be afraid of change when the prior conditions are killing you drastically

This isn’t blasphemy.

For each and every situation

I find the speaker's motivation

And through this feeling of relation

We remain in affirmation

So a heated conversations
Is eased by mere observation

No need to compromise intention

If you realize we all head the same direction.

Evolution, the next step, telepathy

No more need the words, feeling empathy

Humans are weak, because of lack of expression

Open your minds to this healthy suggestion

Free your energy from past memory and emotion

Consider spiritual devotion

We can do anything we try, but we must believe, or die.

If I could make the sun rise, I’d let it dawn on it’s own

The meaning of life cannot be told

Behold, ‘tis greater than diamonds and gold

‘Tis greater than time, ages old

‘Tis greater than words can hold.

I find myself wanting to stare into the sun like a crazy man

If I could figure it out, I could do what few can

And expand beyond what words can describe

And understand what makes an animal strive to survive

How birds came to fly, the origin of life, beyond what's inside

What science alone could never find, no matter how hard they try.

Caught up in a moment

That split second of sudden and explosive

This concept imbedded in my brain that I can't explain

Only knowing that it will remain

Experience a measure of authenticity

Directly from a higher power came to visit me

Proof of existence, of none but my own assistance

Faith and persistence, knowledge of deliverance.

Earthbound. All I have is this moment.
