Still I sat
Closing my eyes
With a smile inside
For it was you
So close to me
Orchid on my mind
A new time
To yoke
So that my eyes
Were your being
And the reach
Of your touch
Was the work
That I could do.

Difference (day 3197)
Land wore gloves
For the first time
And didn’t fit right
There was no breath
No inhale
Just exhale and sweat.
A pause broke the noise
So softly
As the butterfly
Inaudibly
Sat down to rest.
That (day 3196)
For you have gone
But did you forget
Like the rest
It wasn’t passed
And then it came
Like never before
And that was that.
Gates (day 3194)
No longer could the gates be closed
No longer were they present
Abandoned
For when the sky
Turned its evil red
A wind swept in
Opening the holes
Receding each memory
Until desolation took hold
And all was washed
White with time
Which left no one
To collect
Fragments of dust
Standing guard
At the gates
They could no longer close.
For a Lost One (day 3193)
Winter came
Now the storm has passed
But your touch
No longer here
But in our hearts
Your soul lives strong
Forever so close
So dear
That when I close
My eyes I hear
How loudly
Your soul
Did shine
So It Came (part XX) (day 3192)
(part XIX)
And so it came
This massive reordering
Of minds of living
Some believing
Some knowing
Some inside
Some losing faith
And some finding new associations
To reorder their life towards
And some far away
Beyond.
(fin)
So It Came (part XIX) (day 3191)
There began ever increasing
Social codes
Codes of conduct
Policed by each other
Isolating the dissenters
And promoting the followers
Cults began their rapid ascension
Hate cults
Fear cults
Separation cults
Control cults
And secrecy grew
As honesty was lost
For it was Fear who said
Honesty could not be shared.
(part XX)
So It Came (part XVIII) (day 3190)
New words like quarantine
Self isolation
Social distancing
Became the normal.
They became sayings
Slogans worn on t-shirts
And those within Safety zone
Knew what they meant.
When they were spoken
Safe people knew how to react
Almost as if it was
A secret handshake
And it became practiced
Every night before prayers
How to react in certain scenarios
When these new words
Were used and accepted.
There was pride and acceptance
For responding to Fear
As Fear had so desired.
(part XIX)
So It Came (part XVII) (day 3189)
(part XVI)
Inside the walls
Within Safety
Culture began to believe
In the Gods
Who used words like Science
To spread their propaganda
They spoke half truths
Withheld full truths
In their subtle manipulation
That was calculated
And projected
And timed
And crafted.
