Poetry

[alicewhite]

life is not as complicated
as it's made out to be

all problems are fabricated
life's simple in reality

it's only when one veers away
from the timeless truth of now

all confusion dissipates
as you focus between the brow

forget about the journey you've trekked
forget about the final destination
remember
there is only this step

forget about past grievances
forget about making amends
remember
there is only this moment

forget about your weight and age
forget and the bodies looming death
remember
there is only this breath

forget about the mistakes you've made
forget about reaching enlightenment
remember
there is only this choice

do you see how simple life can be?
when you strip away the falsity

consciousness undergirds all creation
like a hologram we're all in relation

when one part changes...the whole changes too
holding it all together...love bonds like glue

know who you are...that which is not fleeting
if you need a reminder...your heart inside is beating

oh my
lions and tigers and bears
here we go again,
ive had a few bad dreams
premonitions
ive been murdered
and i did see the killer,

georgia williams
no i said frantically
everyatom vibrating
electricity,
tied up in a room
but first in a park
or car park
strangled
his face i knew,
back in the room his phone for confirmation used,
then left alone desperatley
i tried the doors
i heard a party
a bar and drinks
i was confused,

then another dream
he called be bones
then he had me all alone
but others came to my rescue
you d[ont have to face this alone
we will protect you,
then in aninstant he was in a van
and he did to himself what he intended for me
a dagger he dug
deep inside his stomache
he screamed
then he lay dying and hot he became ,
and the others told me his soul now burned in the flames,

the next night i dreamt that i was someone else
i was younger and beautiful
long layered red hair,
admiring new image in the mirror i stared,

then the next day
i saw this new face again
when i stumbled upon the news headlines
upon the front page.

georgia williams missing since sunday
a man is in custody
where she is
we can not say.
