Beyond the Bells

The world in a negative vibration. For many of us, there is a means of drawing peace and tranquility into our beings. For others… the junk mental- food obsession of the mind prevails.

Beyond the Bells

 

Tibetan bells begin

Dust motes scurry for purchase

Stuffy air finds escape

As atmosphere renews

Parting in multiple directions

Filling the 360 degrees with peace

 

Beyond…

 

Vibrations of another kind

Vie to smother the air

Supporting the concussion of toxic density

Felt

Heard

Smelled

Tasted

Seen

Consumed as millions upon millions

Of human vacuums suck in poisons

Hoping beyond hope

They will live past the explosive air

Invisible for some

A cloud of fog impenetrable for others

 

But for all…

 

People, things, politics, chaos of the mind and heart

A century’s gamble

A roll of loaded dice

The inevitable fix of the game

 

So tearful the anticipation

a powerful statement dealing with one of the prime issues of our time, the prevalence and predominance of lies, lies, lies.

Robert Heilbroner in the 1970s wrote that the population of the world was riding on the train toward a cliff. While the wealthy in the last car, they would not escape going off the cliff anyway.

I just wrote a scenario of what our world could be like in a couple hundred years.

Fortunately, you and I will not be around to see the results of our collective folly.

A Stanford researcher has concluded that we are a product of our genetics and environment and are where we are, not as freethinkers, but by dumb luck.

Gasping image Dali painting :o - - I have a heavy understanding of this poem. The last line sums it up plenty well. So much imagination is invited to interpret this, starting with the Tiebetan prayer wheels, parting in different directions, or dusty thick drapes opening or closing to start or end a day — atmosphere renewing day or renewing ‘end of day, and the peace of night. “…live past the explosive air” can be war, relationship toxic density. The inevitable fix of the game being the leaden sadness in this as I feel it. So much ache to supply so much artistic expression — and we need welcome and respect it. ~~ djl
