"Cancer"

Strong legs, hearty laughter
Shining eyes, Pixie smile.
Youthful skin and languid walk,
Captured in the heartbeat form
Before the creep of Cancer.

You have no right, Cryptor's Ghoul
To steal the light of the Summer Child.
To take the breath of the Voice of the Siren
To claim the life of the Fairy Tale Princess
To steal the strength of the Prince's Squire.

I Challenge you with the Light of the Dawn,
Through the Heart of the Crimson Warrior
By The Breath of the Phantom Wind
And by the Sword of the Viking King!

Wayward Disease of the Body,
May you be Stricken Down
By the Force of the Creator,
By the Light of the Enlightened
To Exist No More.

"Starlight Sprinkles and Sparkles"

Becoming "Enlightened" Is Like 
Discovering Starlight Sprinkles and Sparkles 
Along the Pathways of the Mind.

"The Ladder"

Within the Extremes of True Purity and Base Evil
Resides the Common Man.
In Judging Demeanor, a Material Value
We Often Place upon Each Other
In Relationship to Status in Life,
And a bit of Snobbery and Stubbornness Perhaps,
In the Category Of Awareness and Understanding.
Yet, What is Obvious to Some
Is Incomprehensible to Others ~
There Being No Common Link to an Agreement
or so We Often Choose to Believe.

The Truth is, that In Our Worldly Reality,
No One Person is "Greater" Than the Other.
For We are All On Different Rungs of the Ladder,
Responding to Various Events and Situations
Seen Differently through Each One's Own Expectations
And by Our Perceived Experiences.
And when we Separate Ourselves,
Thinking it is "Us against "Them,
We become Disoriented and Disillusioned,
Often Driven Towards Chaos and Further Distancing.

Knowing & Becoming

When I Thought I Knew More, I Became Less.
When I Thought I Knew Less, I Became More.
Yet, I am Still in the Process of Becoming.

"Outer Space"

Thinking about how So Many are Eager to Explore Outer Space,
Yet so Many Have Yet to Find Their Inner Sanctum or Inner Space.
