[Poetry] Candles Burning

Softly flickering

the light blossoms out

from the center of the

spicy scented

pillars of wax

Illuminating the altar

brimming with energy and

crystallized intent

artfully arranged by

the shaman sister

in an act of defiant creation

Meeting the wall of illusions

created by Wall Street and

the masterminds of the

Hollywood Machine that seeks

to program the heads and

capture the hearts (and wallets)

of the bleating sheeple of

Middle America

Here in the inner sanctum

she sees in the dark

and discerns the

sacred pathways, symbols and signs

that restore power to her people

so that they too may rise up

from their own sacred altars

in defiance of the defilement of

our true nature and the warping

of our innate desires in service to

the false Gods of consumption

at any cost.


The initiations have begun

and the scales are falling

from the eyes that were blinded

as the awakening spreads

gently across the land

like the light from

her candles burning
