Poetry - 'Faces'
I see faces
All around the world
The same
Faces
Similar
But
diverse
many suffering
wishing
hoping
longing.
I see humanity
In their eyes..
the same glimmer I see in my own mirror when I look at myself in times of happiness or elation
or
in times of sadness or depression
I see the same Strife and struggle
I see magicians and muggles
All the same
I like to dive into people's eyes
See their life in a moment of eye to eye contact
I see an old weathered man
With the same eyes as a
Wandering child
A congressmen
With the eyes of a sad cleaning lady
who just wishes
for that golden colored day
of freedom....
either in this realm or another.
I know it,
I feel it,
I cry it,
when I feel that connection
and sometimes feel trapped in my own compassion as,
who's willing to simply go up to a stranger and say,
" I just saw.. you. And then, I saw ...me. Does that make sense?"
Rather, I've found peace in sending those people love
in a moment closing my eyes, locking their face into my mind's eye forever
then imagining golden and white light embracing their being
and then realizing that I am no unique transcendent soul
all people, I do believe, have these - thoughts of inquiry
"Did that person just look at me? Should I look back? Should I smile?"
And the answer is.. there is no "should" way of being.
there is just being.
So, if you have trouble looking at another being, including animals, in the eyes
take some time
and stare at yourself in the mirror.
no no, it's NOT egotistical.
It's magical. To even let a few tears drop
as
you realize, amidst any negative thoughts of your self, in the moment that
you.. ARE. and always will be.
the energy never dies. never created nor destroyed.
so, if you're not ready to go smiling at every person you see or looking them in the eyes,
then don't. and know that, the chances will always be there.
Once you can look into your own eyes lovingly,
practice slowly with others close to you.
too often, I see myself
diverting my gaze. being in my thoughts, my technology ... unconsciously.
so perhaps, the key is to bring more Presence into our lives...
witness the synchronicity unfold
while we speak Histories Untold
while we love one another young and old
as we see the symmetry
in humanity
like a crystal lattice prism
"I reflect , You reflect, We reflect."
refracting our fears
and using that energy for a colorful rainbow which is balance
which is love
which is 7 chakras aligned
as we connect to the divine...
all in that moment of infinite time
experiencing
BEING WITH another human being,
just know you can keep rising the tide
the tipping point.
I see faces.
Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, Purple faces
I feel hearts
Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, Purple hearts
I hear minds
Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, Purple minds
all of them came into this ...
"Prism"
from One,
from one white light.
Like the brain to the heart to the skin to the kidneys to the feet and hands...
no part of our collective being is more important than any other
and there are simply things we can live without now that they have served their purpose...
like darkness. like outward violence. like inward hate.
It's all a system within a system right?
My unnecessary hate for a political leader has a lot to do with
what I hate about my own negative tendencies
so many reasons and validations exist here....
yet
my love for another human
has only reflection
on what I love of myself.
A system within a system within a system
a mother earth , we came from her soil
yet we must shepard her just as equally
we are each others' mothers and fathers...
The new pardigm is this
Choose what you reflect from others,
choose the energy you let impact you
but always
always
choose to glow your aura positively onto others.
doesn't matter if the look they gave you looked "mean"
or they seemed offput by your eye contact or smile
there is a deeper energy you can tap into..
on the crowded elevator, standing quietly,
there's not always a need to talk.
Imagine a pulsation from your heart that matches the beat
then, that energy may open up for real conversation
authentic connection.
Peace.
We ARE experiencing the same things
realizing the same things
struggling similarly
regretting equally
vying for approval internally
we are already perfect whole and complete.
I see faces.
Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, Purple faces
I feel hearts
Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, Purple hearts
I hear minds
Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, Purple minds
all of them came into this ...
"Prism"
from One,
from one..
white light.
