 they tell me 

talk to a psychologist 
for i fail to see
the broken depressing reality
they keep perceiving
to them Iam 
the great escapist, 
a pretender
someone who 
isn't grounded
but- i tried their way
probably already 
too many lifetimes 
even before this one
i'm just glad to know
that there is 
another way
of living 
and expressing life
i have squandered
too much energy
my dweller 
on the threshold
must now be
enormous 
and i opt 
to redeem him
reenvisioning my day
looking at the world
through the eyes 
of Abel
for life is
a never ending drama
of one's internal fight
between these
two brothers
as Cain persistently
succumbs 
to what his senses
dictates
continuously fixated
stuck in a state
disallowing growth
surrendering easily
to the appeal
of outside appearances
without redemption
without hope
losing his soul
through the fires
of forced contentment
so child, be Abel
for he 
let's you see beyond
what the senses
can offer
clothed in the linen
of faith
it is how one
is separated
from a daydreamer
to a doer
so succumb not
to this 3D world
for the truth is
deeper than
sensorial perceptions
walk on water
to not drown in these
changeable facts
then, the fires of desire
shall not 
devour you
but lift you up
in the consciousness
of its fulfillment
all through
the eyes of Abel.

"...so succumb not
to this 3D world
for the truth is
deeper than
sensorial perceptions..." As you offer here, much of the reward for mankind is within. How rapidly the world without has dominated the past few generations, overwhelming us with man-made substitutes for genuine peace and happiness.

If I were able to see like abel
I'd tell you a story or two.
I'd drink abel under the table
and go see eve
that's what I'd do.
temptations.
mystery.
desires.
Even adam had 'em.

Just fooling around, audrine.
You know i love you.

Fascinating read Audrine…,
With so many possible interpretations…
We are probably all escapist at times, and this could
certainly be the time to look afield and
choose an alternative reality other than the
one presented by so called ‘experts’…
This is the right of us all…
‘Whatever gets you through the night’

I saw the reference to psychologist and it suggested some need for therapy. Your poetry is certainly your source of therapy including this treatise on the value of the story of Abel.

Did the good survive the bad, or was it the other way around?
