sacred geometry
smooth lines of symmetry
balances kept in check
bound to hear the sound
that's clear to see
when one has gone alee
from land ,air & sea
an uncharted universe
that's vast, open, bright & free
exploratory psychonauts
transmigratory astronauts
journeys through time & space
if you could only see your own face
slipping through time
this verse & these rhymes
inspired by a magic sublime
hard times to be replaced
backspace to your birthplace
vastness of your airspace
sunshine to embrace
reorder your headspace
inspiring artwork to showcase
inspired & admired from deep space
there is an inkling
& a penchant for sci-fi
in all of us sometimes.

A smile to shorten the distance between us
A conversation to make time pass faster
Sped up, slowed down the power is among us
There is a will & a way for all of us to master
By day, witness soul quenching sunlight
By night there is sometimes a sorrowful moon
But don't fret because the universe intersperses starlight
To wish upon, admire, enliven & to swoon
There is a limit to these earthly ways
We hope & pray for continuation
Existence marked & measured by years & days
We put effort & care towards amelioration
We have the means to transmigrate
To a better time & place
It is all inside for you to activate
An extension into space
Enlightened & anticipatory
Enlivened by this new found glory
Unfrightened & revelatory
The time is nigh to be celebratory
A smile to shorten the distance between us
A song to make our hearts rejoice
It has been noted & said thus
That there are often decisions & most always choice
For we can take it or leave it
Advice that can be gleaned
Absorb, reflect & receive it
Is the best way it seems
Your life is a story
That you wrote by yourself
There has been hardship & glory
& a love filled wealth
A natural order
That mirrors the heavens
Go past the border
To the future that leavens
Enlightened & anticipatory
Enlivened by this new found glory
Unfrightened & revelatory
The time is nigh to be celebratory
A smile has shortened the distance between us
Sped up or slowed down the power is among us

Residual Remnants

residual remnants
long-past vestigial vestiges
of a woebegone time
medicinal meditation
to mitigate & quell
the sorrow
& the pain
the hope & promise
of a new day
to turn the page
& start again
there is always
saving grace
remain mindful
& hopeful
at all times
at all costs
may all your motions
never be perfunctory
or mundane
but rather enthusiastic
& energetic
should you find
that your emotions
are tangled
unravel
deconstruct
deprogram
rebuild
expand
start anew
& resurrect
the love inside
that you always had

It's All Been A Thing

IT’S ALL BEEN A THING
it's all been a thing
it's all but a memory
to the future i sing
for you to be here with me
the shuffle of drums
the frenzied harmonics
may better days come
may our time be synchronic
you are far & away
you are far & away
you are far & away
you are far & away
i have known you before
and I've known you again
a connection that's stored
a connection of friends
patterns kaleidoscopic
the songs in our heads
sometimes symphonic
sometimes canonic
our love for one another
warm & platonic
never sardonic
hope this flow
is euphonic
sometimes ironic
at a speed that's subsonic
rise like the mythical birds
from the ashes
grow with these lyrical words
use your love
don't stash it
you can rise above
any clashes
check,check
one two
let's cash this
it's all been a thing
it is all but a memory
to the future i sing
for you to be here with me

you can't think of everything
at all times
suppose ya can't see
the reverie
from all sides
why for
the dichotomy
& choosing sides?
never read deuteronomy
but perhaps
someday
will try
never feared
when i walked
with thee
in good times
in due time
the right time
all in good measure
in hard times
we guard time
and forget our pleasure
a sour note
a dour gloat
why can't you be friendly?
gone remote
by sail boat
to waters smooth
free
& cleanly

mustached mustard lipped crustacean
frustration with the libation at the gas-station
citation of the claymation creation
cessation of the causation of the foundation
gestation of the mutation of the oration
location of a pulsation & a vibration
from the space station to the substation
translation of the elation from some dictation
light passes through the ages
to all ages
otherworldly visionary sages
story moving off the pages
praying to saying to staying
while remaining
in God's grace
what am i saying
i still have hope
i manage to cope
aware of the scope
of a multiverse's trope
climbing ladder & a rope
sometimes walk with thee
climb the mountain & the slope
you made the cut
you made the grade
diamonds in the rough
they still continue to trade
a supply
a demand
an outcry
from an empty hand
how much is left
how much is right
no longer bereft
from a past dream's
dark night

Mourning Blues
06:12

words on a page
in a world full of rage
the morning's news
brings mourning & blues
when will we get it right?
a rain soaked day turns to night
when will we see it through?
there is always hope
I know this is true
a delicate dance
between life & death
we all have a chance
to avoid being bereft
marvel & travel
the future unravels
judgement bangs gavel
on this stage that's still larval
these caterpillars
slipping through time
will someday be butterflies
& know flight so sublime
metamorphosis
is the emphasis
so we can deal with this
with an impetus
to reach a catalyst
with greatness
in our midst
heavens pray for us
so we
can know
undaunted bliss

Expansive Rabbits

expensive habits
expansive rabbits
set aglow
& in the know
safe & still
with healthy wills
serene & calm
united palms
hands clasped together
praying on forever
free at last
eclectic cast
nature's electricity
feeds neuroplasticity
synaptic connection
eloquent inflection
dance in the dark
celestial spark
dance in the sun
with celestial ones
to the light must abide
to the ever-changing tide
stringed lutes
(Peter) pan flutes
the winged ones
harness prosperous fun
enveloped in love
below & above
– Thomas M. East
