TO KNOW MADNESS





To accept the reality
of our Creator
is to know madness.
One sees not only a single future,
but understands the possible outcomes
of all futures at once.
Madness discovers patterns
that others fail to see,
and in time learn to overlay
 the pieces of chaos until harmony
 is discovered.
Madness also possesses
an unspoken hunger for knowledge
 and wisdom that is never satisfied.
There is no submission to mortality,
only a want of unlimited existence;
the desire to become one with all that is.
The mind mantled in madness
processes faster than the body can react.
Thoughts are experienced,
not individually,
but in clusters with
a multitude of emotions
bleeding into and out
of each of those thoughts.
All things are one.
The understanding
of this is madness; a salve
against the wounds of the limitations
accepted by dominance of humanity.
Once this is realized and accepted,
madness becomes genius.
No boundaries to what one can do.
Conformity is no longer
a part of the equation of existence.

    1. This very gifted poet is my brother whom I love and miss so terribly much! I have searched him out continuously over the last couple of years. He will never know just how much he means to me..his sister. I desperately long to be reconciled with him. He is loved so much more than he will ever know.

  2. I stood at my gate...I saw my brother pass by my house..he just kept going..did not stop! I started jumping up and down like a crazy woman waving my arms in the air..hoping, praying that he will realize his mistake..He forgot where I live..Surely he will turn around and come back..so happy to see me after so long. We will go in the house and put on a big pot of coffee and I will toast him a piece of my homemade sourdough bread! It will be so nice to sit together and just be present. Or is was all in my head? Was it all just my imagination???
