Spirit Child

By Charles Sapp II

The spirit child

separating truth and wisdom with the sleight of tongue.

With the familiarity of attractive forces,

vaporous verses spewed from the lips of a hungry mouth,

summoning the creation of imagination with ghostly appearances.

In pursuit for love inhabited in the most inhospitable regions of the heart and mind;

the spirit child within lives.

The spirit is found in all,

the mystery of the subsequent is solved

by planting seeds of the future to procure our longevity.

The tight grasp of child's hands clasped into ours,

while awaiting the tide of change to rise;

wading in shallow waters,

feet become soaked as careful steps made towards the depths of the unknown.

The spirit child,

evokes the innocence and nourishment of love

within our co-existence concerning all matters of the heart.

The living verse spoken into existence and living breath inflating the lungs

while inquisitive nature hunts for answers as hunger propels the need for growth.

Remember the child’s comforting gaze,

transferring the strength and power we were once born with

as life is the adventure of acquired knowledge

and truth is the back-drop of its inspired essence.

Evolution in Continuance

By Charles Sapp II

The growth that separates living flesh from the Earth’s grasp,

seeking the living light that nurtures with divinity

and where the secure roots are twined deeply into evolving sanctity.

Learned to walk on ancestral soil with patience,

mobility embedded into memory as an earthbound walker,

following the sound of its own voice

as it echoes off the man-made boundaries.

Trespassing the line between dreams and imagination as figments dissipate;

reality becomes defined and validated by achievement.

As soon as water was able to walk on land

the oceans have rejected us from returning.

Taking a deep breath, while leaping into the sky

and swimming the cosmic sea,

the tethered roots snap and the cyclic nature of life repeats.

Learned to fly through inherited skies with grace,

without looking backwards

the Sun illuminates the path towards the future—

as settlements of dreams are constellated

for shared memories of an evolving species

recognizing its potential and redefining its future.

Dimensions

By Charles Sapp II

Passageways to dimensions without doors,
wide open,
1st person angle view,
a tesseract with no traces.
Smeared lines in gray,
shades of possibilities;
the extraordinary;
the supernatural.

Woven fabrics of time
braided history, now, and the future.
Paths treaded softly,
frontiers await discovery, behind self.
Treasure of answers anticipated,
with inward motives reflecting outward
and kinetic recall,
pulverizes notions beyond belief and comprehension.

Only desires
dry and empty
with barren oasis’
mirages of supple wells
hydrating ambition.

Wishes are the commands sprouted into existence
with a bit of concentration and a pinch of diligence.
Heroes and heroines have been born of less,
summoned by the masses;
emerged from the tumultuous seas of despair.

Portals gaping with invitation,
entering eras with hope;
broken glass of limitations
and metaphors of fragile skulls and bones,
serving truth,
scribed on living tree’s flesh.

They poured their hearts out in black ink,
serendipity speaks with perched lips kissing
the minds of the future with baptized words,
scorching those that never heard the sound of love.

Erupting from dimensions unbeknownst,
far yet near,
stars shed their light in a stellar molt;
renewal to eternal sight,
entrance to vision unobscured.
A keyless realm
with open doors,
secure
from an insecure world.

Leap of Faith

By Charles Sapp II

I said I would leap
8,000 miles in faith,
towards our future.
She said she would leap with me,
solidifying harmonious order
syncronized with clasped hands,
blindfolded,
head first.

Welcoming the unknown in a single bound,
Love grips all fear
and alchemizes it into strength,
fortifying it to preserve the precious moments
that balance positivity as a weapon of virtue.

The Sun blotted by the moon
eclipsed as comets drift
escalating towards the return
marked as the beginning of beautiful things awaiting to come.

Pride emanates as glowing matter
dripping as each step is made facing due west.
using time to travel;
the method of journey via imagination,
thoughts run rampant,
leading towards final destination.

Landing on confidence and determination
as planted feet
rooted for stability
conquering the unknown
with a potent extract of Love by one's side.

Distance (From the Source)

By Charles Sapp II

Distance relative to time and experience.
I’ve been distanced from the Source,
accustomed to daylight,
deprived for a year
hoarding the night’s light as a substitution,
providing a newfound recognition and respect for light years.

The distance of familiarity distorts to grim euphoria
and the dislocation of time,
as I jump
through parallel dimensions of time zones
and leap over the international date line to say hello to myself in the future
and live with my twin self’s alter ego
Getting to know thy self could never be so comforting,
yet awkwardly unorthodox
like reverse laws of relativity and broken quantum mechanics
I portal here to there fewer than several guided mission,
to love and experience the truth that manifested itself through the obstacles of transition.

Summon the Sun
to light the night as a beacon that defies possibilities and outcome.
Lend a hand
and plug into the Source, with direct contact
with the forgotten between
distanced memories and recollections.
As all imagery floods the space between now and then,
one must learn to love again, one must obey
the hidden and the unexplained;
as the answers sought
have been close all along.

Distorted Dimensions

By Charles Sapp II

Beyond the gates of foreseen future
are corridors outlined with pillars as support structures
holding the weight of sectioned paths
like the spine of destiny
each dimension is unique and expansive
peering into your existence
as a lucky prize winner given the opportunity for life.

Life is slightly distorted with one eye view,
one opened and the other closed,
alternating perspectives.
enhanced perception of sidereal days
as the majestic sky highlighted at night
with past love stories bound

as the energy is magnificently released,
we exalt the happiness centuries later
as the pattern of corresponds to the cyclic nature of writing
the voice to the path led by crooked lines
staining tree fiber flesh
as it erodes through time.
