Today's Tendril...

At the worst of times pain is a cell,

A hole,

A puppeteer.

At the best of times pain is an opportunity,

A divining rod to strength,

A focusing lens,

A channel to clarity.

Today's Tendril...

To be a "victim of the system" is one thing.

To be the victim of your own silence is quite another.

Today's Tendril...

Never yield to mediocrity.

Instead, plow ahead — at ramming speed.

Today's Tendril...

You're a casualty of your own silence.

Yet, how easily you find your voice when it's convenient to bend someone's ear about your "plight."

A Covenant of Power

A covenant of power, bonded by hubris,
Manipulates with impunity.

Webs of complexity are manufactured,
In three dimensions, plus one.

Then the machines are turned loose,
To feed upon anxiety and insecurity.

They celebrate the savagery,
And pity what remains.

Companion Today's Tendril...

"Blasphemous dissenters" are those that ask, why?

Questions are strength — trust, but verify.

Today's Tendril...

Signals are corruptible, as are people.

Sequences aren't tamper proof, and neither is the collective.

Information is subjective, and can be subjugated, just like the masses.

Trust, but verify.

And always sweat the details.

Today's Tendril...

To fight or take flight,

Is simply a choice.

To SCREAM or be silent,

Only you can find your voice.

Today's Tendril...

Use your brain and your strength, but don't let your heart become black ice and don't let your soul become stained with hate.

Never abandon prayer; not to spite the naysayers, but in spite of them.

And through it all, make certain that it's known, come hell or high water, "Don't tread on me."

// Tuesday, December 08, 2015

Today's Tendril...

Cherish the memory.

Protect the moment.

Pray for the future.

Voiceless

Without words I am voiceless,
And my eyes can only take the conversation so far.

And if only the hand on your cheek were the hand on your heart,
Then my touch would speak in a tongue only lovers understand.

These words, this paper, are all that remains of a conversation that I thought would never know an end.

All is now still.

My words have no refrain.

I am voiceless—and still.

And still I carry on...without you.

Today's Tendril...

"I only grow gray flowers," said Melancholy.

"That is because you've forgotten how to smile," said Rainbow.

The silence that followed became the chasm that divided them.
