Ocean eyes -> starry soul -> eternal light, a beat that remembers…
I been here many times before
Same spirit
Different spaces
Different times
But right here
Right now
Is the mission
I am alive for
neptune in pisces
still and ever and again and again I am
shedding myself of this skin
shuddering off on the daily this slowly thinning web
sometimes 5 years old, 99 years young and 23 years crazy at the same time
I’m guessing this is to figure being
until or before we learn breathing slow n being kind
more and deeper
we are bred into boxes
we learn the workings of numbers
before the workings of our bodies + minds + souls
and taking in the love
…only the love
and filtering out that b*s that isn’t spirit
yeah you heard me right all that stuff that isn’t pure,
non soul shit,
because I’m all about that soul
mmhmmm baby
whether it be in music
whether it be in bones
Imma let that soul lead the way
that humming
that inherent, tremblin harmonizin
rhythmically crackin
vibin voicin
I have been painted on
in straight lines
by eyes who don’t see colour
entered a world wherein
many wish
and few know
that we have already arrived
I have come into a space
where people carry ears
but have lost sound
and few still hear
the soul speaking
through walls of concrete
but to the few that do hear
thank the heavens for the few
(literally)
(without you
it’d be much harder to be on this side
of the spheres)
midsummer husky
I write with my hair up when I need to get sorted
I write with my hair down, when I… am.
today I am compromising
I wear a hairband
the roots pulled back tight
the ends down loose
so I can type rapidly without strands flying
swishing it back when I need a head shake,
let it free
I lost my voice,
Midsummer nights eve
it’s lovely
the more no talking
the greater my perception
the more I could hear
and see, scent, touch and taste
the more I was
present
appreciatin’
not the lack of voice
but the fullness of sensing
lack of wording, logic, intellect
=
heart full, mind quiet, soul full
soulful
blissful expression
turning not into words but
inherent body language
intuitive instincts
alike a child letting a glance tell all I need
a sway of hips
a turn of lips
a head kick back with a sassy,
“mmhm”
isn’t all that so much more significant
than words?
it is not silence
when all senses expand
and I am
singing with all my soul…

en inte längre flickas alkemi
de börjar i nacken,
occipitala nerven
kristallrys som
klättrar
splittras
sprids
uti hela mej
itu, hela mej
önskar nästan
ja va tio
kunde backa tre steg
tills innan jag visste
innan jag kände
de ja känner nu
men ja e inte tio
längre
och de säger ja ska
va vuxen
nu
och jag önskar det inte
tillräckligt mycket
för att släppa denna
min kärnas eld
det blir hazy
makear inge sense
hejdå intelligens
elektrisk frekvens
inge gräns
bränns!
rubbar min existens
under the influence
turbulent transcendens
snart abstinens
det e så det känns
nu
jag e kvar
i tonårens dekadens
.
Elemental
Metamorphosis Origin
Late Middle English: via Latin from Greek metamorphōsis, from metamorphoun ‘transform, change shape’.
I had a thought just now. Or, several trails. It went something like, “no matter how many times I manage to fall out of love with my reality, I always manage to come back to it after some river bends”. So far, each time knowing, feeling, and radiating all the stronger. Who I am and what I seem to be here, upon this green blue messy mess of a planet, to do. The whole damn thing is that the more life I get to live the more I seem to learn the beauty of greys (especially lately… Oh my god, the magic and intensified growth lately…) The colour grey is neither black or white, neither night or day. It is balanced amidst mess. If living is elemental alchemy, I now seem to be able to tune in more evenly to several elements simultaneously, as opposed to say, playing with fire only, I’m allowing myself to keep the flame alive and kickin enough to shed light. Earlier, I could eagerly let it combust a whole forest, haha! Just to feel alive. To feel potent and purposeful. While that may not feel very practical (like easy grey living for example), it definitely has it’s time and place, letting ourselves be shaken to our core and reborn. Some phases need to be like that. Exploding. Hurricane. Earthquaking. Tsunami….
Becoming yourself is a lesson in learning how to balance.
