WeCreateNow

I joined some fellow creators in a project where we have daily prompts on Discord to spur a daily creative endeavor. Here’s a link to the server and what I created my first five days.

Untitled 1

The splashing sea

Within you and me

Hits the earth with such force

That a course is set

With no direction

But unimaginable

Results

The moon bakes my happy head

And the cheerleaders

Power through their chorus

I hear a bright voice inside the depth

And now I know why happiness exists

Untitled 3

A punchy little vacation

On the Happiness Express

Zooms in like merriment

Honking Beep Beep

The driver is a clown

Who’s been around

The world of threes

Creatively

Singing

Beep Beep

Untitled 4

Deep in the heart of blue

A song is strum

Echoing in the waves

Plunging into shadows

Where gigantic love

Calls endlessly

easement

before a luxery

stands unabated

witchy

solid

like a baker’s knife

your brass

is catching

boisterous

like a nephew unknown

so now

the moment is ripe

with intent solitude

waiting

caught in the embankment

rolling into other things

dreaming with open eyes

seeing the milky lies

softly

making a space

for pillow like emblems

that ease pain

but prolong suffering

The tranquility can be deceptive;

the hours we sleep

& dream

unfold

in space and time unmasked

at their own speed–

Bordered at our own personal borders

sanctioned to our own sanctions

each one making decisions

by the second

in this sloshy, sloppy, sea

of what we’ve been making

of what we’ve been spending

our energy on eternally

acting in our plays

for days.

The seeker starts following stars

Then looks at atoms

Each day new

The seeker finds a gem

Pieces of the Galaxy

That reflect the majesty

Found within.

The spirits of the stars

Manifest on a physical plane

To play

To make music

To exist for a fraction of infinity

In polar extreme.

The seeker finds this moment

Over & over again

Adding to the ever growing repertoire

Of experience.

Divinity grows from the gathered seeds.

Gambling with your chance
Seems like a mistake
Birds fly on the wind
And so do we
But fly toward your destiny.

Look inside and ask for truth
It’s in there somewhere
I promise you
Don’t look outside for authority
Too many people are trying to be.

Understand reality by what you can create
Find out for yourself if something is fake
Find out for yourself if a “fact” can pass your test
Lead by example
Leave following to the rest.

But don’t forget your brethren
When you find hard won answers
Know that you are right
Teach them how to fight
For the truth that never changes
For the truth that never rearranges
For the truth that you found when you
Stopped listening to fools
And opened up to the idea–of You.
