Here is where I am hoping to post my content. I don't know how this is going to work yet, but we'll troubleshoot and rearrange as we go. Thank you for you patience.

REALITY
(spoken word)
You tell me this isn’t real
but
You are never the one who has to answer the door when it comes
Knocking
Banging
Busting
down the door
and you are not greeted by the twisted version of a man trying to warn you of something invisible
and you have never felt the cold grasp of death on your core when you look in the mirror
You tell me it is in my head
but I Assure you
It is in my body
It is Heart when I watch daisies blowing in the wind
It is in my stomach when I watch the clouds move across the sky
It is in the hairs on my neck when I hear the sweet whisper of an old friend telling me something is very wrong
It is in my joints when I can’t move out of bed
and I feel it in my lungs when I gasp for air and for a
second
it feels as though the earth has ended
When pulling the covers up over my head doesn’t work anymore
I feel that part of me slipping away
I feel the sweet summer days grow cold
and watch silently as the flowers wilt
I listen intently as the birds stop singing
and observe the grass turn brown
the leaves fall one by one until every tree is bare
This is a waste land
RUNRUNRUN
it tells me
Go
Somewhere safe
Except I can’t see who I’m running from
and I never know what’s safe
Sometimes I can hear footsteps behind me
Following closely
And I grasp my mace
And turn around
And the street is empty
Sometimes it attacks me in my sleep
And I wake up
And there is
Nothing
And I am confused.
This seems pretty real to me.

HER
I am divinely connected to this universe
It unfolds before me
With promise and spirituality
I will never be able to understand the vastness of this
I follow the points and curves
I let this sky tell me the history of all of this
I know I am only a spec on the radar of this greatness
But I know this universe knows who I am
I know She remembers
And She welcomes me
I am divinely connected to this universe
She remembers me
We have known each other in another life
I know I am only a split second on her lifespan
But this universe remembers me
Ethereally She is laid out to show me my path
She carefully crafted every atom in existence
She hand placed everything precisely
She shaped this space around me to guide me to my destination
She knows me
And we are connected divinely
