I am the autotroph
A series of chemical reactions
Every time I close my eyes
I am myself
B-bump, b-bumping through a neurological traffic jam
Ready to pop like a balloon
Smiling with faded gums I am victory
Emptiness that radiates power
But still now.
Quiet trembling and aching eyes
Don't you see my screaming bones?
Can't you hear them?
I am the autotroph

Plants are patient
Waiting for just the right time to sprout
The slightest misjudgment on their part could mean death
So they will wait as seeds for years
Hiding beneath the tall oaks
Hoping one day they will have the chance to kiss the sun's sweet rays
as their elder's looming above them do
 
Plants are strong
As people massacre them for food or for their flashy reproductive organs
But they will come back
Even though they know they will be cut down again
 
Plants are kind
Giving themselves to help all others
Blooming beautifully for the bees
Cleaning corrupted air
Giving back to the soil when they die
 
Someday
I hope to be like a plant
I hope to be patient in life
Waiting for the right time
I hope to be strong
To grow back even when I know ill be cut down again
I hope to be kind
To give love to everything and everyone

THE SOLILOQUY:
“I’m chosen to face myself with change and enter into the world everyone wants but are not strong enough to obtain.

On the outside looking in , I appear crazy, on the inside looking out I ask myself, “why would I go back?”

I’m here now, I made it. They judged because they are spectators to the real players in this game we call life. From Mariano Roque Alonso, Paraguay.”

THE DIALOGUE

Vision- Far as an eye can see, to the tip of a mountain peak, down below, a low valley Mountain stream….. I am blessed.

Focus- steady as an ostrich neck, hold strong, groove stealthily as a B-21 jet , I move on…… I am blessed.

Heart- not the muscle that beats in the chest; it’s the energy that helps it beat when you rest. Protect, shield, decipher and digest, the outer world may not enter unless you forget ……….. I am blessed.

Strength- for what’s a muscle if it’s not trained?  The Autotroph from a past series of pain. The growth from which is spiritual not vain. Seek not, give all, let heaven be your terrain….. I am blessed.

Success- the world in which the spiritual elements above combined create. I enter; I built this from the space in between the mind and the brain. The jade wrist, represents the risk I wished, the unknown fish from a flick I tick, to the fire born spit, I hit, I missed, to a target grown slip, but then I kissed the dragon on the lip, for this I clipped, its wings. I tamed the beast contained within me. Now, joy & peace in which was revealed to me, that in this life, the person in the world is a manifested soliloquy. The ignorant watch and judge until it’s their time in which they will realize……………. I am blessed
