Hollow is the Mind

Hollow is the mind as you shut out the night

Images drift in as visions across the screen as you fight

The torments of a soul suspended within the illusion

As you twist and turn in the jungle of confusion

Darts of blame

Spears of flames

Arrows of truth piercing the layers

As they burn into your soul, sending out prayers

To all who would listen

Hark, Hear that? As tears glisten

Rolling down, they fall through time

Tasting their salty brine

The silence echoes back across the void

What is this world in which we’ve toyed?

This Garden of Eden in which we play

Why do we destroy and cause so much dismay?

The Visions erupt clear and sharp

Each one like a new thrown dart

You erase them, scrubbing them clean

Your mind the blackboard...... the screen

You take up the chalk and in Big Letters you write

There is only one answer for this world ..

UNITE

A common theme, a running thread

To pull together all pounding in my head

Nations against nation Man against Beast

I see it all as the story is unleashed

And as the Hollow is filled with thought

The restless mind in-between Worlds is caught

Seeing the Visions of Natures wrath

And all who will suffer along her path

Is it any wonder as I twist and turn

The Visions of our future are of Peace I yearn

So close your eyes- close them tight

Hollow is the mind as you shut out the night.

The above poem I wrote after tossing and turning one night and as I always keep a journal at my bedside I often write my poems in the middle of a sleepless night. While I endeavour to try to keep my mind as positive as possible, when we enter that zone of quiet time in-between waking and sleep, I often see then various visions play out across the screen of my mind. While some of these are I know are Dreams, often too I have had what I call a ‘Window’ open in front of me on the wall, and I am shown images within these screens which are so vivid I recall them in every detail.. These I call my Visions, for they are so much more than a dream.. At other times I am pulled backwards as if up and through myself as I travelled through the ceiling and was pulled into the cosmos as I viewed the planets and stars and I was then shown Earth. Sometimes I am shown images which I feel are yet to come, While some are pleasant others are far from it.   And some of these are what I wrote about within this poem. As I wished my mind would not see and be Hallow and empty. © Dreamwalker 2012 All rights reserved.

A Poem~ Walking Amidst the Shadows

Walking Amidst the Shadows

I walk in the darkness among the trees of life

Alone with my thoughts I reach out amidst the strife

Of a mind caught between worlds of tormented desire

They crackle and flash like the flames in the fire

The sparks that ignite me float to diminish

And the shadows dance backwards to a time when we’re finished

To a time beyond this Earth realm where our souls

 once flew free

To an age of timelessness where no dark would we see

Yet now I walk in the field of my dream

The Shadows creep up and hide amid the trees

For the knowledge we once knew is still bound inside

Waiting to awaken the whole of Mankind.

We need to release the jealousies of hate

And open our hearts, let open up those gates

To release the burdens we place needlessly on guilt

Let go of the shadows, let the love-light be built.

Hold it close heal all you see

Stop the judgement and negativity

Walk a path to truth of who I am

And be content within the Universal Plan.

Be bold, be brave, stop being so naive

Live life in love, so shall you give and receive

Cast your Light and drive the shadows out

Be not afraid of the flame as you shout—

To a world the truth who long ago forgot

Walk in the dawn of conscious thought

Listen to your heart to the battles it has fought

 As I now walk, my path becomes clear

I hold the light, be true and sincere

For each of us journey to a land made of Dreams

Each holds the thread as we stretch at the seams

As the Stars keep on falling sending us the Signs

Mankind is a spec within Cosmic Designs

As for me in my forest of shade

I give thanks to my shadows for the strength that

 they gave

For without their darkness no light would exist

And my journey on Earth is well worth the risk

For to progress on home the flames sometimes scorch

So let not the shadows hang low where you are

Reach out and take heart, for the Light is our Star..

Can we not see?

 What have We Become?

What have we become that we cannot begin to see?

The Damage that we’ve done to our Ocean land and Trees,

We belch out pollution, pumping veins in Mother Earth

Spewing out our poisons that pollute around her girth

Her Ocean floors we’ve blackened, turn all to red,

And blood is on our hands as our sea-life is now dead

What have we become that we cannot begin to see?

The damage with we do which affects both you and me

The aerosols we spray like the Chemtrails across our sky

Leave a trail of poison and no one is asking Why?

Rainforests disappearing a hundred species every day

Some we’ll never see, for we wiped them clean away.

What have we become that we feel we need to kill—

Everything around us, Is this Free Will?

I often shed a tear as I feel our Mother’s pain

For I know it’s now the time as she screams with wind and rain.

It’s time that we were shaken to realize our mistakes

How we’ve pillaged, raped and stole and Take, take ,take

Never do we honour or give her back respect

We just take her life for granted, abuse her and neglect.

Can we not see as we cut down all her trees?

We cut the very air that each of us do breathe.

What have we become as we kill for greed and power?

Our Mother now chastises in this our final hour

Her anger is just beginning to make her presence felt

For mankind is just an insect, as we reap what we have dealt

Her sigh is now heaving on the Winds of discontent

As she reflects all of our Anger over the centuries we’ve sent.

What have we become that we cannot begin to see?

We are destroying our Planet along with it you and me.

Shine Your Light.

From time to time along our way

We need to speak and have our say

In order that the lights do shine

Other people we need to remind.

Of all the folk whose lights are dim

Where struggle is hard and life is grim

They need to see beyond their walls

That many more in darkness toils.

The little beggar boy on street.....

In India who has no feet

In Africa  where wars still rage

And children starve with wide eyed gaze.

Where hope is lost and villages run

From evil men with drugs and guns

Yes time to time along the way

We need to speak and have our say.

Of Shanty towns and orphan waifs

The suffering is endless case by case.

I could go on and list some more

But maybe you would shut the door

As in your bubble you nicely live

You need to see you need to give.

If not your money then add your light

Open your hearts and see their plights

Look further than the end of your nose

And my words will count as poem I pose

If just one who reads my lines

Opens your hearts and let it shine...

Upon all those who are less fortunate than you

Your light will brighten the Worlds dim view

So dare to step outside your walls

And lift the darkness from serpent coils

Compassionate thoughts will add their swell

So come on give generously

Open your hearts see what I see

For when enough of us really awake

A better land then awaits

Where all are one and all are free

All I ask is

Shine your Light

With me.
