#BrightDarkness

tragedy, tragedy 
everywhere 
death, destruction, and despair. 
ideology askew 
humanity misconstrued.

fractals, fractals 
all are one.
come home. past, present, future,
uniting under the same sun.

Man-made concept of time. 
tick, tick, tick
boom!
rise, rise, faster,
no effort benign, none consummated too soon

abandoned fragments of self, 
sitting amidst the chaos 
yearning for peace
egos locked and loaded 
humility forgotten 
pain, pain 
insurmountable grief. 
misconceptions,
reflected in narrowed, unrefined, self-fulfilling beliefs.

Minds decided 
battles lost. 
storms approaching, closer now, not so distant,
tempest angrily tossed. 
serenity ground me now in my body, 
my mind and soul fragmented and lost. 

agonizing torment 
spiraling into the abyss
please root me to the core
stripped of autonomy, 
embedded in thought contagion
it’s been planned, 
and no longer possible to ignore.
bring a pandemic of joy 
and hope.
Restore.

my fight is yours
this is when space and time merge
think,
remember...

embrace the rays of the sun. 
move and connect 
ground and focus 
it's the only way for it to be done,
narrow to broaden
retract to expand
Flickering light, shine, and serve 
holding space to understand. 

we cannot shine without darkness
such is the dichotomous nature of humanity.
and with each dawn, the sun still rises, undeterred,
casting light on those who marred us in their madness, unheard.

hopelessness,  
pain,
and abandonment.
reptilian retaliation...  

bliss,
fulfillment,
joy and elation
lurking in cracks between understanding and communication

umbra, resulting in carnage and stunted cognitive growth,
seeking elevation and revelation seems to be the only freeing oath.
