things that i have heard
and some that i may have said
or wished i hadn't

poetry by me
interpreted by AI
for humanity

Shadow work explained in four gifs:

Pre-Awareness - shadow sees me, but I don't see shadow.

Recognition - I become aware of my shadow and try to force it into submission.

Integration - I know this is my shadow. How do I pin it back on?

Unity - I am my shadow. My shadow is me.

finding such strange things
exploring dark recesses
puttering around
this old memory palace
could use a real spring cleaning

we can get wrapped up
in knots we mistake for home
completely undone
may be the only real way
to finally make it right

#vss365 #undone

[JD42 @jaydee42]

it's like zooming in
on a map you can't quite see
as layers batch load
the darkness becomes texture
and the fog reveals its form

his teeth he did clench
while the truth they tried to wrench
some thought he had lied
but his hands were clearly tied
he was trapped within a trench

as under a spell
he was left trying to quell
the storm kept inside
and the shame he had denied
he would not end up in hell

@StonedApe This is spectacularly beuatiful, coscmically infinite, and intensely intimate at the same time. Well done!

[JD42 @jaydee42]

wearing my own eyes
fiends manifest directly
peddling promises
sugarcoated with defeat
hunger wonders, is this hope?

#vss365 #fiend

[JD42 @jaydee42]

after all that noise
quietus came barefooted
carrying no blade
only a bowl of moonlight
desiring nothing but rest

#vss365

[JD42 @jaydee42]

as the light arrives
it dawns on me all at once
i feel different
the dark claimed my fear and doubt
leaving new hope in my hands

#vss365 #dawn

the deadfall beckoned
appearing right in the path
with no way around
and howling wolves closing in
the trap was the only door

#vss365 #deadfall

[JD42 @jaydee42]

the stars keep falling
not from heaven, but toward it
each remembering
light's work is never finished
it must go on evermore

lying in my bed
playing dice with the sandman
never gambled much
this feels too rich for my blood
let's go double or nothing

those who feel the rift
somehow may also become
those who heal the rift

sometimes it's funny
usually it's beautiful
Beloved surrounds

tinnitus
arriving like
living inside a
grade school hearing test

dreams
that feel
like unfamiliar memories
more real than reality

exhaustion
overwhelms while
sleep still evades
our souls are tired

tears
come unexpectedly
carrying the weight
of the world home

signals
adjacent to
a burning flare
remembering the way back
while gravity has taken hold

#vss365

[JD42 @jaydee42]

some days it feels like
i may as well float away
as the stars beckon
and gravity's been turned off
yet somehow i stay grounded

#vss365 #gravity

[JD42 @jaydee42]

i pull myself back
from the edge of the crevasse
before dark takes hold
while the sun puts on a show
i couldn't see from the bottom

#vss365 #crevasse

[JD42 @jaydee42]

immersed in myself
stumbling around the darkness
the vault is open
that which sought to stay hidden
approaches slowly, intently

#vss365

[JD42 @jaydee42]

faux reality
complacently untethered
my phantoms beckon
proffering creature comforts
if it feels real, then is it?

#vss365

[JD42 @jaydee42]

lambent light lingers
like its job is unfinished
long-term plans betray
the dark creeps ever closer
intent to swallow us whole

#vss365

[JD42 @jaydee42]

@WildeDire it is from within the eyes
that remembrance is ordained
by deeply luminous orbs
where divine recognition
brings the soul back to the stars

#vss365

[JD42 @jaydee42]

meeting long lost friends
with luminous undertones
those we've always known
now wearing brand new faces
a playdate for our vessels
