In dream consciousness... we make things happen by wishing them, because we are not only the observer of what we experience but also the creator.

Dream Maker
My dream maker
Most vivid dreams
My dream creator
Is it what is seems?
Placing my head on the pillow
For a heavenly night
Illumination sheer
Like an Angel in the light
Apearing in the unconscious
Only to wake my eyes
As the combination of hues
Slowly start to die
Looking around me for my dream creator
Realizing they have disappeared from sight
Closing my eyes tightly and wishing with all my might
That my dream creator
Isn't what is seems
Not a sheer illumination
Nor a combination of hue
Instead of my dream creator
Please be my dream come true.

My Creator Is My Manager
I admit...
There are gifts and talents,
I was born with.
I never had desires to 'be'.
I just 'was'.
And took what I had for granted.
At one time I really did this.
I've been asked where I've studied.
And who has mentored me.
My response has always been The Creator.
To which then I get looks of disbelief.
And as I age and 'try' to mellow,
Others suggest I could be rich...
If I did 'this' and 'that' with my talents and gifts.
But things and bling and money it seems...
Has never attracted my consciousness.
If this happens to come to me as my Creator's wish,
Then by all means...
Those things will come to pay me a visit.
But thankful I am and tremendously blessed.
My Creator is my manager.
And I know what for me is best.
Perhaps my Creator,
Believes what I've been given is priceless.
And I have been nourishing myself,
With the feeding on delusions.
Whatever my Creator proposes,
Is the path I follow not to oppose.

Wishing Well
Throw me a penny and Ill make you a dream
You find that lifes not always what it seems, no no
Then think of a rainbow and Ill make it come real
Roll me, Im a never ending wheel
Ill give you a star
So you know just where you are
Dont you know that I might be
Your wishing well
Your wishing well
Look in the water, tell me what do you see
Reflections of the love you give to me
Love isnt money, its not something you buy
So let me fill myself with tears you cry, why?
Time is a never ending journey
Love is a never ending smile
Give me a sign to build a dream on
Dream on...
Yeah, throw me a penny and Ill make you a dream
You find that lifes not always what it seems, no no
Love isnt money, its not something you buy
So let me fill myself with tears you cry
Ill give you a star
So you know just where you are
Someday, some way, youll feel the things I say
Dream for a while
Of the things that make you smile
cause you know
Dont you know
Oh, you know
That Im your wishing well
Your wishing well
Your wishing well
I wish you well
Im your wishing well

Reductio Ad Absurdum
SOMETIMES I feel like,
I f e e l
LIKE
I,
I I
I I
I
I I I
I I I
I
I M LUSINNG
MAI; mnd.
I'll be sitting in something like the half-lotus
Position, and I'll be staring at my computer screen,
Which is tilted downward just slightly, so I can
See… if I play a game—which I won't (I have a TV for that) ,
But whatever—and I'll just be half-way into some
Deep focus meditation, wondering about Mu
Or something else, or something yogic,
Or something… OM NAMA SHIYAVA…
I'm just mindless right now,
Reeling in that emptiness,
Wishing I could pull myself
Out of Satan's Cradle,
Not thirsty for the milk
That flows from the mother
Of my inaction,
My absolute lethargy.
It doesn't have to be this way—
I tell myself.
I tell myself as I sit there,
White screen greeting me,
Telling me what a good day it is
To not think at all
And maybe write a poem
When I get fed up from reading
My Facebook newsfeed—
Doesn't happen as often as you'd think,
Though I'm terminally disgruntled
About the perpetual bondage
I have toward the social networking
Behemoth;
Leviathan that gnarls through the seas
Of boredom, sinking the steady ship
Consciousness in its green, amaranthine
Jaws, which glow in the twilit,
Star-crossed window sill
That beams in the plasma
Box and back to where it came.
Help me out.
Help me.
I AM HERE!
And I can't stop doing nothing
To do something
Because something might happen
While I'm out doing something
And I know it won't happen
But it might happen
But I don't know how to make things happen
Can someone tell me how to make things happen
So I can stop doing nothing
And do something
And people will be like
You did something
So I'm glad I was watching
While I was doing nothing
Just waiting
Wishing
H O P I NG
Y
O
U
WOuld—
Do
Som ething.
I'm glad you did something.
I wanted to do it,
But I was too busy waiting for you to do it.
Oh, God, if there is a GOD,
Can't you release me from these chains—
I mean, according to Milton,
You released Satan,
And he said,
'Here, at last, we shall be free.'
Of course, he was in Hell,
But he was his master
And if this is heaven,
Then salvation sucks
And I don't want any part of it.
Release me,
Release me,
I don't want to be the anthroparion
Of the technological age,
Blood pouring out of my eyeballs,
My teeth clenched into a single pane
To reflect the visions that gloss
Across the panel I stare at—
I don't want to be the ouroborus,
The mobius snake that loops for a while
Before eating himself.
I wonder if I am the result
Of the Chinese Room Experiment—
AM I RESPONDING TO MY CONSCIOUSNESS
OR AM I SIMULATING MY RESPONSE
BY IMAGINING A THEORETICAL CONSCIOUSNESS
WHICH MAY OR MAY NOT EXIST—
whatever.
I just want to sit up,
And erase the homunculus
That hangs over my head
As if it were barbed wire
On life's fence,
Gateless, though it may be.
I could be doing something I tell myself
I tell myself
I tell myself
Do I lie to compensate for what I want?
What do I want?
I don't know, but can I have it.

Things Happen For Their Reasons
Things happen for their reasons.
And there is no need to make excuses,
For the obviousness...
Of those mistakes made.
Things happen for their reasons.
And,
What is there to say...
That can excuse mistakes away.
Stop that need to medicate.
Things happen for their reasons.
Why waste time in prolonged debates.
Thing happen for their reasons.
What is the purpose for seeking escapes.
Things happen for their reasons.
Acceptance eases,
The facing of one's fate.
Things happen for their reasons.
They happen for their reasons.
Stop that need to feed on grief.
Things happen for their reasons.
Why squeeze a healing wound to bleed.
Things happen for their reasons
They happen for their reasons.
And aging doesn't make one safe.
Or offer escapades as a gateway to charade.
Things happen for their reasons.
They happen for their reasons.
Things happen for their reasons.
And there is no need to make excuses,
For the obviousness...
Of those mistakes made.
Even while one ages,
With a life reminisced played on many stages...
Try their best to gracefully accept,
Things happen for their reasons.
And those experienced,
Eventually see this.
Things happen for their reasons.
And in the living of one's life...
A discovery reveals,
Those reasons with insight.

Workin' Man (Nowhere To Go)
Wishing well, wish me well
on a dream bought with a penny
wishing well, time will tell
I can see that there are so many
lonely faces stare from your pool
and I can\'t bear to see a fool tonight
so make it right wishing well
wishing well, could you tell, as I stood beside her
did you know she would go
then why did you hide it
if you knew then I\'d be without her now
you could have let me know somehow
can\'t wish and tell, wishing well
wishing well, cast a spell, send her love\'s sweet emotion
do your part, touch her heart with truest devotion
If there\'s a chance, I won\'t believe we\'re thru
show me wishes still come true
it\'s up to you, wishing well
Show me wishes still come true,
It\'s up to you, wishing well
its up to you, wishing well
it\'s up to you, wishing well

Infuse your life with action. Don't wait for it to happen. Make it happen. Make your own future. Make your own hope. Make your own love. And whatever your beliefs, honor your creator, not by passively waiting for grace to come down from upon high, but by doing what you can to make grace happen... yourself, right now, right down here on Earth.

Just dream and dream
Can i dream and dream? ? ?
Without knowing is killing me...
May i dream and dream? ...
And just watch is fade away...
Will you let me dream and dream?
Or make it happen for me!
Please don't let that dream fly away!
For it is only here for a while! ! !
Will the dream just be a dream? ?
Or will it happen for me!

Wishing I Was Lucky
I was living in a world of make believe
When my best friend wrote and told me
That there may be a job in the city
And you never told me
He would dream about another scheme
About another sordid hall of dreams
About a man whos king of industry
He would swear by his mouth almighty
He would buy the best
But never something new
And he never told me
I like kicking in the gutter and
Wishing I was lucky
Wishing I was lucky, wishing I was lucky
Oh I like kicking in the gutter
Wishing I was lucky, wishing I was lucky
Its the only life I know
Lie, lie, lie is all you ever do
To make me want to push on through
Cry, cry, cry cry is all I ever do
Say thats how you want to make me push on through
I like kicking in the gutter and
Wishing I was lucky
Wishing I was lucky, wishing I was lucky
Oh I like kicking in the gutter
Wishing I was lucky, wishing I was lucky
My best friend wrote and told me so
He said that there may be a job in the city
I like kicking in the gutter and
Wishing I was lucky
Wishing I was lucky, wishing I was lucky
I was wishing I was lucky
Hey son go, hey son go, to the city

Wishing long live the butterflys
Wishing you were free
Wishing going wherever you see
Wishing life isnt plain
Wishing you have no pain
Wishing you can breath
Wishing you cant leave
Wishing you can stay
Wishing you can fly
Wishing you have the whole day
Wishing to watch the clouds pass by
Wishing you were a butterfly

Meeting eye to eye
i have to agree i am still in the
process of being made
yet to be fullyfunctional
i hardly know myself
the good news is i have
started to recognise
a little of you as you are
all hands, thoughts
spirits over me
i feel you in my dreams
in my waking state
and quite aware
you make things
happen a coincidence
one time too often
are you excited?
this creature is
starting to respond
to get to know what's around
despite the darkness
that surrounds him as to
his own significance
in the chain of creation?
I will keep what little
part that is now me
open to the next step
of your creation
does it excite?
does it make me
fly through the sky?
does it make me
round like planet in space?
in a perpetual state
of meditation?
i will pray, pray, pray with
all the consciousness
that i possess to
get to the heart of myself
so that i could respond
with all of myself
pull myself together
when we are to meet
eye to eye
yes, i know i am
still being made
thanks for inspiring
me to meditate on you
thanks for teaching me this:
know yourself, know your creator
i know i am still
being made
three quarters made

Observer
OBSERVER
I’ve been an observer all my life,
of middle class, wealthy and poverty’s strife.
I’ve been an observer of child abuse, love and loyalty,
Prejudice, betrayal and myths of society.
I’ve observed hypocrisy, mind games and planetary dream.
None of this has affected my soul,
duality has helped me learn and grow.
For God’s way will always be, just look at what’s not working in society.
It’s not man’s plan but God’ cosmology.

Plants Dream
If everything has a consciousness and a soul,
than plants dream wouldn’t you know.
But of course they have no eyes,
but in other systems they use other means to realize.
Of course you believe that your dog does dream,
because he has a brain and moves with muscles so lean.
What is this other state of consciousness that we talk of?
The dream world that we visit in another dimensions?
Now if we are all a part of the matrix,
then we can visit anyone that does exist.
But of course we use symbolism to understand,
so we wouldn’t really recognize anyone from another land.
So if it’s true about the plants,
we don’t need a body to dream of or even chant?
Well, I think my gecko friend does dream,
he heard me telepathically so he has a wave of consciousness stream.

Self--consciousness.
Self--consciousness.
I’m feeling tired and burned out, suddenly a spark ignites! and inspiration strikes! Brings along real good light ……to get up and get going….I’m not yet exhausted I’ve many more breaths to take and many more sighs to make. This is a perfect time to remind that “I’m gonna getcha it’s a matter of fact…I’m gonna getcha..So no need to worry bout that”…I’m struggling but I’m still trying…I’m resting but I’m very much alive and nay not I’m not surrendering when I believe I’m right…inspiration can come from outside or inside but performance is always from your SIDE ‘cause things happen when you resolve to make them happen.

On Your Special Day
Wake up early morning for your special day
To see things wishing you well in their ways
And telling it's your day so don't be sad
And do all things that'll make you glad
And bright sun rising and wishing you well
By giving you happiness that no one can sell
And telling its your day so don't be sad
And do all things that'll make you glad
And small feathered creatures singing youi a song
That today is your birthday so nothing can go wrong
And telling it's your day so don't be sad
And do all things that'll make you glad
And blooming flowers spreading its fragrance for you
To wish you happiness that surely is true
And telling its your day so don't be sad
And do all things that'll make you glad.

Dared Dream
Dare to dream
Of happiness and Fate
Dream of the life
That we can make
Dare to dream
Of sadness and sorrow
Dream of the possibilities
That can happen tomorrow.
Dare to dream
Of a life that doesn’t end
Dream of Eternal Happiness
With all of your friends
Dare to dream
Of the things you can’t see
Come on, take the risk
Dare to dream with me.

Humiliation
Such things happen through the web of conundrums
in life... there is scum
that scums up your life, this is hard to deny
when was it a dream when was it real?
which was fantasy
which was reality
how can one tell?
just when he fell
its really quite hard you see
especially for someone like me
with my dream worlds and frayed consciousness
i must confess
my conditions would probably land me in an asylum
as i hum
to the tune of debacle and suffering
maybe one day it will end and i will sing
but today i blink and this is mortification is totally real =/
