My heart was imprisoned

back then. 

 

It fluttered on clipped wings

locked away within my 

rib cage. 

 

And like a bird

it learned

to sing. 

 

The song it— 

shifted my perspective 

my soul no longer

captive. 

 

And in my self-awareness 

I reached a higher state of 

consciousness:

 

A flowing from above

filtered through my ego

somehow in this 

letting go 

 

I’ve found a new kind of liberation 

though the 

ephemerality of my own 

mortality 

 

It ends in Quest-

ion

 

This seeking is the point

the answer is

meaningless without 

pursuit

 

So:

 

Are you the flower? 

 

Or the root?

 

My heart still beats between 

these bones that 

this little bird 

has learned to call

The Artist. 

by Carolyne DeBlois

 

He is an artist trapped in a profession. 

Bleeding himself dry with his own obsession— 

to create. 

 

Breathe. 

 

These numbers I see painted on the walls of our universe

illuminate the shadows of my underground thoughts. 

Love is not simple. 

Rather like a complicated proof it combs through your subconscious

Desiring to be uncovered — in reality the truth was already there. 

 

Math was never beautiful. 

 

It complicated my life and I fought it because I didn’t 

understand that science and spirituality are just different 

ways of proving the same truth  — there will always 

be things that we won’t understand in a universe which is 

constantly expanding. 

 

How lucky are we to exist?

On this planet. 

Right here. 

Right now. 

 

Breathe. 

 

He tucks something up his sleeve

An idea written on a paper airplane tossed thoughtlessly away. 

Math still doesn’t make any sense. 

Its not a forte for me the way words are. 

I just finally see one is a reflection of the other. 

 

We still understand beauty in a moment when we don’t speak

the language. 

 

The challenge is to recognize that nothing is either 

good or bad. 

I don’t know 

could be the most powerful tool in your toolbox if you use it 

Exponentially. 

We make something good or bad.

What about: what is? 

 

Breathe.

 

I am enough 

Here 

Now.
