another chain of words that spoke to me

"... and now for something completely different ..."

the arrival cycle

we wake in deep shadow

we wake from a dream
a space of murky foolishness

where the worst of all we share

converge

where we devolve

and erode

and abandon free will

independent thought 

and action

where homogeny hungers

for all of it

for all of us

with fearless fear

and insatiable avarice

where we meet 

the dark consequences for failing to standardize the Self

the dark consequences for wearing the mantle of the Misfit
the dark consequences for speaking a Truth

the dark consequences of Compassion

anyone

anywhere

Shadow Dream exhales

and leaves us in The Long View

witnessing the small things

flecks of personal concern

dust specks on The Bigger Picture

we scold ourselves for feeding the trite
for inviting distraction that derails

for mirroring and mimicking the verve we loathe 

oh, to be human

oh, to forgive

and we pull the verve back
back to our core
to the heartflame
where the remedy resides
flickers and waits
