                                                                    Declaration

i have vandalised time and space with my life
scrawling horrors and joys from one end of the Akasha to the other;
like a drunken dung beetle i traverse existence rolling my dung-ball hither and thither
to very safe locations.

we have ALL conquered infinity though some malcontents would demean our achievements and attempt to subordinate or rob us of our power.

we ARE victorious, always;
existence testifies to that.

if you listen very carefully you may hear my laughter still --
echoing through caverns of eternity, chuckles of delight!
if you are very quiet you may listen to the Buddha's flower sermon, praised by all sentient beings in all time and all space;
we have overcome.

of what consequence are murderers and ‘mighty’ empires, lousy with star-spangled vermin?
they are unable to contend with one drunken dung beetle, what shall you/we fear from falling towers, crumbling walls?

it is of little consequence.

today a young girl smiled and waved yet I knew her not
another declared her love while checking my groceries
a spontaneous and bold declaration
all fond and lasting impressions
in the symphony of OUR lives.

though many ‘authorities’
tried desperately to suppress them, creation thought it best to allow our random expressions.

clouds ride effortlessly
on the wind
sunlight rests easy on my face
a sigh of satisfaction/anticipation escapes …

i suddenly realise i have loved YOU
since before time’s inception

We are One
