Examinations of our Minds

To those of us who judge
(unknowingly or by deliberation)

I say this

When judging others
We ourselves should exercise
Synchronous

Similar examinations
Of our own minds

That we miss not those faults we own

And yet ignore

When serpent like we hiss
Transfixed

Outside the others door

Obsessed

Enabling words
Formed deep in the abyss
To travel from our minds

So blind
To scornful lips

Words born of arrogance
Part of ourselves

We do not see

For
Insidious

They lie in us

The same as that we mock

In 'He'

Those faults of others

That of which we all do moan

Forgetful

All the time of those immortal words

Let him who has no sin
Cast first the stone

Our World

Our world

Is no different

To anything else

We might build

-

We have to put

A lot of the work in

Ourself

Universe within a Brain

That which is not perceived

May yet still exist

Outside our minds

Strong and real

As the world we sense around us

-

Wanting only to be seen

To be understood

-

Little by little

Piece by piece

-

An expanded awareness

Of another limitless experience

-

Built to match the needs of the observer

-

Incorporating the challenges of a lifetime

-

A parallel of a parallel

-

Another Universe

-

Within

A

Brain

As Colour Hidden in white Light

As colour

Hidden

In white light

Energy

At speed

In flight

Your soul

Vibrating

Rainbow like

Navigates

This mortal life

Inseparable

Human phase

Let loose

Midst life’s bedazzling maze

To navigate

A world unsure

To blunder on

Through misnamed doors

A ship sailed

In a rock strewn sea

False lit with lights

Set to mislead

Thrown onto shores

That crush and bleed

Pushed stumbling down

Onto its knees

But ever struggling up

Again

To battle onward

Through the pain

You know yourself

You need no name

You are the fire

The coloured rain

You travel

Motionless

Unseen by sight

Pure energy

Just as colour

In white light

A Word

A word Is a craft A thought launched from our mind Into the flux of invisible time A drawn out, extended Gossamer string That travels dimensions In need of no wings - Egal Bohen

Defiance II

I defy the morning rising
Though I saw the setting sun
-
I defy that night is coming
Even though my day is done
-
I defy all that is spoken
But seek truth, where ‘ere its from
-
I defy the masses massing
Knowing not their right or wrong
-
I defy all of creation
Yet I think I do belong
-
I defy the very tempest
Though I know I am not strong
-
I defy all life’s illusions
Yet love what they're built upon
-
I defy that death will take me
It's long lonely journey on
-
I defy the very moment
When all things return to one
-
I defy the state of nothing
Which is why I wrote this song
-
As my spirit will be fighting
-
Still defiant
-
On and on
-
When all around
Is dressed in silence
-
After every thing has
-
Gone

Epitaph of Man

As scattered light
Spread by the dawn
Infused in nature
We are born

As grey clouds cross
A winters sky
With silver streaked
We live and die 

As cold winds blow
The flurried snow
Into the night
So we must go

But not before 
Our time has come
To touch the earth
To feel the sun

Our colours mixed
Our brush out flung
Our canvas painted
With no plan

And yet so
 beautiful

This life
Of
Ordinary
Man
