This is a story in the form of a poem. I need a name for it and I am open to suggestions!
In the fractal branches of trees
Though in the morning I was brought to my knees
So much ickiness in the world, geeze
I looked out the window
Christmas came a few days late, that is all
I watched the snow fall
A smile spread across my face
I felt a choice inside
And I chose the choice to raise
Raise the light in the dark
Be the song of the lark
And when, although it seemed to me the world had no use for what I could bring
I chose anyway to at least say YES to the light that I am here to sing
I listened and asked
And received and believed
And a whole coffee shop was lifted up
As fountains of peace flowed
From a latte cup
They have a killer brownie
I felt led to get one
It’s a mouth-bliss spree
But why call it killer? For literally years I’ve been trying to get them to change the name
To something less insane
Peace
Orgasmic
Ecstatic
Bliss
Could you name is something that makes you want to kiss
Instead of associating pleasure with death
With violence
Send my condolence - your brownie brought the end
This is not the message I know the owner wants to send
In the past people nodded politely and or with amusement when I ran my suggestions by their open but shoulder shrugging selves
But now that the world is what it is
Old good ideas are take off shelves
The heart listens instead of the head
And when I ask for peace, the resonance is astounding
It is the heaven landing
Grounding
Brownying
And the Barista whom I haven’t seen since he went to Saudia Arabia
To make a film about women’s boxing
In a country where women can’t walk around a hotel without a man to keep them in their box
Where lovemaking is so tightly controlled for women
But upper class men are known to import young girls for their cocks
And before this barista had left, we’d have some good talks
And now back, we aligned on the power of helping one another, how the people in his hotel all stuck together, to help one another, so no woman had an issue, always had a supportive friend for cover
And he talked about tough it is, when the good things come from the bad
And I told him, I get it, I’ve felt so sad, but for now we’ve got to use the difficulties to catapult us free, into a loving, sane world, yet also, change can be fast when we create a vibration in which those sinister agendas can no longer exist
We do this with our love and creativity, not our fist
We do this with our sovereignty
With our soul, with our bliss, with our wings up high to Source and our feet on the earth, each step a kiss
He told me there, the creepy thing is no one steals, because pretty much everything is punishable by death
It’s an astounding sick justification for fascism’s wreath
The killer, the crown of thorns
Fascism comes in many forms
When the end justifies the means
But the end, in truth is the counter of the butcher
Polished, yet unclean
And when I put in for the name change on the brownie
My barista friend - well he was downie
He told me he’d tell the owner
And my idea would be shown her
And we talked about
vibration can change things faster
when we all come together and use those hardships as fuel
To undo what is cruel
Until eventually the distortion loses the duel
At the table next to where my now barely adult child and husband sat
Was an extra chair, and I asked for that
A nice older man said, “You can have all of them, as though I had three more people, or least a cat
And I said, “Oh thank you; but I just need this one - I’ll leave some for your imaginary friends, won’t that be fun”
And he told me about Fudd, the friend that he had before childhood fantasy was done
And another woman told me about her friend who lived in the traffic lights and made them change
And I said, “We don’t really much about what electrons really are or how they work, so for all we know, your friend lives in the lights and manages green red and orange, the walk and the don’t walk, and they laughed and I asked the other woman in their group
If she had an imaginary friend as part of her childhood troop
She said not that she could remember, so she couldn’t give me the scoop
I said, “Well if you did, and she could grant any wish for the world, however great, what would it be?”
“Stop bombing Gaza” was the answer that fell from her tongue with passion, yet easily
“I stand for peace too,” I said heartfully
I am half Jewish and I was born into a little commune that was Sufi
I told them about the brownie and they loved the name change I idea
And I put it out there that, if calling it “Peace,” at this time seemed to controversial
It - the brownie that is - could. be called Inner Peace or Quantum Peace
No one cared about being controversial in that coffee shop
In that one moment, we had a stop
And when turned my voice past the counter to the latte maker
And said, “Hey, these people also want us to stop being a life taker, want the brownie to serve as a Peacemaker”
And I mentioned the other less loaded choices
He said, “I think either is good,”
And with jovial spirits, we raised for our peaceful voices
Because inner peace and quantum peace are fertile
And so is saying it like it is
When into the darkness before the light we see so many aspects of life hurtle
Yet JOY is the antidote
The answer
The prayer
And as we said good bye
After vibing on how it’s hard to change reality from the nuts and bolts
But on the quantum level
We can change the water level
So that our highest dreams of heaven floats
Like the 100th monkey effect
A few committed, vibrantly vibrating people
Can unpixilate the dark agendas by simply shining such a bright light that the new is birthed in its place
We can do this together, with our sovereignty and love and innocent wonder
Filling our holy world, our entire space
The older fellow I first talked to at the table, who’d lent our little crew a chair
Said, “It’s so nice to run into someone who is full of joy”
And I was so glad I choose to raise, to praise
Instead of giving in to old gloom’s ploy
Ahoy Ahoy Ahoy
We are Here
We Are Joy
