this is some poetry i've written while helping to set up n tear down the Dreamtime festival. hope it's not too much. i hope they bring someone some enjoyment. thanks.

Breathing fire
wielding words
voices varying vibrations
manipulating molecules
materializing manifestations
sounds shattering silence
shifting soul shape
sends singers spinning
empowering empty vessels
varied visions intertwining
into interlocking intention
inventing ideal identities
individual independence inherent
within whole worlds withering
we will whether the storm
still standing strong
amidst apocalyptic anarchy
our ancient ancestors answers
articulate in our awareness
certain conscious creatures
craft circular councils
creating consensus &
saving society
making mankind more meaningful
learning life’s lost lessons &
letting love live.

showering sparks sing spectacularly
spontaneous sprinkles singe singular sections
selecting several scenarios seemingly severed
simultaneous seconds stealthy slide
shimmering slithering silver serpents
slowly shedding skin
creating a new self by devouring without from within
intermingling your purity & sin
seeking your balance
some shadows are perfect reflections
manifestations of conflicts within
seeking redemption by turning inside
attune to yourself & your truth cannot hide
believe in your power
& your light cannot be denied
synchronous living
it’s about time that we tried
move past mere concepts
it’s time for them to be applied.

Awakening
Inside a dream
Reality
just not what it seems
All manifested
meeting all needs
needs that are true
not based on greed
our temples maintained
so souls can be free
so do your best
individually
then come together
create a new scene
& take it with you
spread it like a seed
then when it flowers
we’ll see how a whole forest
starts with just one tree.


We all move on
our paths divergent
criss crossing
web of energy
creates a new being
more than just self
greater reality
with everyone giving
& more open to receive
all are fulfilled
noone in need
more worried about supporting each other
past the disease of greed.

we’ll reach our full potential
each blossoming like the first flower
of the most ancient redwood tree
like the power of the forest lies
in every inch of soil n subtle shade of green
when all the flowers come together
to express our beauty n our truth
our individuality
coming together
and imagining
then manifesting
our perfect reality
the utopian dream
new type of society
based on pure love
where all are truly free.


the light reveals
a new place
look into myself
see a new face
seems that there’s been a change
everything’s been rearranged
what once was normal
now seems so strange
a new creation
new big bang’s boom
new life emerges
out of a new womb
like a caterpillar emerges
as a beautiful butterfly
then reaches so far up
into the blue sky
reborn in a world with no limits
we all will reach our greatest height.


the end of the beginning of the shift
the last moment before it all flipped
the time of transformation is at hand
the next time you jump up
you may never land.



Morning breaks
the day is started
we all move on

the light creeps slowly
illuminating
our path is shown

along the way
all life is nurtured
everything grows

there is no end
& no beginning
this we must know

the world is ours
we see our vision
then make it so

give birth to a new world
embrace it all
then let it go

a spinning vortex
draws energy
continues onward eternally
no longer needing
you or me

cannot be stopped
just keeps on going
like down the river the water flows

we’ve manifest
a whole new planet
& none of us
will ever know.


It seems
the breath I just breathed in
contained a molecule of a star on the other side of the cosmos
I took it into me
attuning to its frequency
becoming one with its energy
I realized that we’re all stars & planets
Gods & Goddesses
we’re the universe, the essence of creation
we’re the vast void, the black hole
which we fear cause we don’t understand
we fear how it swallows the light
as we fear the darkness alone
but we are creation n we created fear
so we can destroy it
but there really is no destruction
only transformation
the light is not destroyed in the void
it merely changes
switches to darkness to gain some balance
so shall we
turn our fear to our power
to gain the strength needed
in these final hours
to help empower the universe
to reach its full flower
opening for all to see
inside the beauty of diversity
reflecting divinity,
the universal humanity
constantly flowing energy,
we’re all connected
all is sacred
so share your love freely.



perhaps I have already connected with each piece of earth
a strand of hair I watched float away
or perhaps a flake of dead skin scratched off
a molecule of spittle carried on the wind
perhaps a piece of me was breathed in then exhaled
by a monk in the mountains in a mystical monastery
(while muttering mantras in meaningful meditation on making mandalas)
thus being connected for a moment
the breath I just exhaled, the same breath of the Indians who first resided here, the same breathed by the first man, the same breath as the dinosaurs,
the same oxygen breathed out by some of the same trees
the rain is the same water that gave birth to ancient amoebas
ancestral amphibians breathed the same air, only they didn’t
defy it driving daily on decayed dinosaurs
directing descent downward
dissent denies deceptions

deceitfully dividing dissenters,
death dealers dole out denominations, dolts do dirt

Dreamers Defy Daringly
developing different dogma
demanding decisions
seeking sane solutions

selective scenes shown
subjected slaves surrender
manipulated mindstates
modern media machine makes mainstream
New Order procedures quantify reality
Selective truths undermine varied worldview
Xtinguishes youthful zeal

Altogether broken, crashes down, Earth fucked (evil fuels, empty food)
global holocaust imminent,
justice killed,
law means nothing outside prison,
quills rip sensitive tissue
universal vault x rayed yields zero
unconscious variable will xtend your zenith.

always believe creation does empower fully giving, healing infinitely.


amazing what this breath
with a little vibration can create
ancient perfection
we’re about to reinstate
with every inhale n exhale
we choose our own fate.
