It never ends even though it’s bound to “end”
the beauty the sorrow the joy and the meaning
the chapters change

Not one more sister.
Not one more sister.
Not one more sister.
Not one more sister.
Not one more daughter.
Not one more daughter.
Not one more daughter.
Not one more daughter
not one more body not one more body not one more body not one more body
Fearful men feeding us into the machine not one more no more never again
stop
the
fuckin
train
sipping quince and lavender along the way
The hummingbird flutters close
listening for messages
what will you tell them?
will it be a sweet song?
perhaps one of laughter and open heart?
a reminder that all is well?
do they have a message for you?
listen with every sense
perhaps there is a conversation to share…
So what makes you think I’m a millionaire?
take a closer look at yourself
because I don’t give a fuck?
about your money
your fame?
about other people’s fame in my legacy?
how many people you call devotee?
Because I walk in power and purpose?
because I know me and even when Im on some shit I stand in account?
nah. money can’t buy me.
Never could.
can’t buy this life
ain’t for sale
Everything shall make sense when everything that we have been told makes sense makes no sense to anyone
everyone knows it’s bullshit.
just fuckin be.
plant
seeds of joy
and blessings will rain
let them fall in and around you like mulberry’s in early summer
listen to the crackle
listen to the crackle
listen to the crackle
mmmm…. listen to the crackle of the Eighth Fire burn
stoked by blessings from the only ones to turn
the wheel in the right direction
Some say it’s easier to fit a circle inside a square but we’ve seen how that will go
it’s time to awaken the spectrum within the rainbow
listen to the old ones and then flip their paradigm
lessons come with experience but wisdom knows no time
Listen to the crackle
Listen to the crackle
Listen to it crackle
Mmmmm….. Feel to the sound of the Eighth Wheel turn

Some say one plus one is two.
but one full heart plus one half heart is three
when two full hearts meet two full hearts that’s four
one plus one is never two
****
no prompt
Hour three
(bad service)!
Shadows and light dance in winged flight
across the tapestry of every mind in sight
different every view
i couldn’t begin to fathom what’s in your heart and so why try to understand your mind?
Walk under ladders, step on the cracks Sidestepping wont bring you anywhere but back…
What are you trying to hide?
