After the Fall

You lived your life as a single flower,
from bud

eflorescence

“Give the ones you love wings to fly,
Roots to come back
And reasons to stay”
The intense feeling when a child is born
Becomes a fire when the child is born early
1 year on
The boy has grown
Creating an effervescence
Initiating a boil over
Of laughter and provocative joy
Where to next?
Well it’s a matter of finding the way out
After his faithful friend!
Sunday lunch
within the alleyway
listening to the casual
sounds of mellow music
reminding me of past
experiences
Breathing the air around me
the scents bringing forth
childhood and adolescent
memories
permanently etched
from life with you
holding hands
whispering
“I love you daddy”
Once again
I feel your presence
a vibrant personality
creating another character
impersonating the lead
from a best selling novel
masquerading with symbols and lettered monogram
treading the boards
in flamboyant costume dress
reproducing a travesty
a grotesque representation of another life
a perversion exaggerated
for the created audience
the ending
a farewell
always returning
with no regrets
just dissatisfaction
and self-accusation
at being drawn into role playing
apprehensive
when questioned
keeping secrets hidden
between clouds
in nonfictional memories
Consciousness
a state of being aware of surroundings
or the perception of existence
The ebb and flow of the tide
assimilating thoughts with presence
Without human intervention
there can be emptiness
Spend time reflecting alone
drifting on calm transparency
Allow yourself to fracture time
with the carriage of another
perceptive human
gracefully
silently
share your niche
The prefrontal cortex covers the frontal lobe of your brain -when you activate this area by a simple meditation you can achieve self control of negative thoughts changing your life.
This can be achieved with simple breathing exercises – similar to yoga (without the exercise). I am a firm believer that this technique is extremely beneficial to everyone.
This was taught to me 3 months ago and I have used it during times of lets say annoyance at other people and I have to deal with a lot of people 5 days a week!
It has allowed me to stop for a brief amount of time and deal with situations, in a way that is less stressful to myself.
Try these simple steps:
Breathe in and out
Allow yourself to listen and think of the next breath -(this takes practice but in time can be achieved at any moment)
Breathe in and feel the air filling your lungs-
Feel the expansion of your chest and diaphragm –
Then breathe out –
Feel the air move from your lungs and out through your mouth or nose (whichever is most comfortable for you)
(Your mind will wander with thoughts of daily stress or commitments etc)
When thoughts drift –
concentrate and bring your thoughts back to a breath –
Concentrate on the sensation of the rise and fall of your chest –
Think of the diaphragm expanding and contracting –
The feel of the air entering your body
This is your moment!
Take 5 minutes or however long in your day to create your breath time
Reactivate your mind!
Dancing through open doors
past lives connected
with intimate moments
characteristic of two rivers running parallel
only crossing intricate sections
of lunar energy
where everything connects in perfect timing
Heightening body and mind
cycles of lifetimes interconnected
through eternal love
regardless of culture, age or beliefs
Destined to reconnect
reincarnated to walk similar paths
bending timelines
stretching the validity of space
as the gravity of two souls
are pulled together to an earthly grounding
Magnetic energy
caressing fingertips and electrifying thoughts
Pouring a complete lifeforce
from one cup to another
