TESTIFY!

TESTIFY!

A Poem by Dani California
"

This is another collab with Robin, one of mutual understanding of truth that we wanted to share

"

What does one do when darkness falls?
There's no bungee cord, no security pad
To protect us from its deadly impact
"Fast and Furious" doesn't cut it, this is Fear
You'd better recognize! It's standing right here!

It didn't just arrive, by the way, It became you!
When you led it straight to what you "didn't want"
That's how desire works you, didn't you see?
That insatiable Orbit of Worlds in your presence
Do you remember which planet owns your essence?

Embrace what is true and rid yourself of not you
Who would you rather leave the choices to?
The voice of fear whose words keep you in the dark
Listen closer, there's another voice you left in park
Engage your True for it leads you to freedom,

 

Hark!

You are such a wonderful talented writer my dearest friend! You truly inspire me when I read your briliant poetry! It truly soothes my weary soul!
I Just can't wait to read one of your stories!
I do have an answer to : what do you do darkness falls?
You shine your lantern (that you earned and was gifted with by going to hell and back) of hope and just keep lighting the dark and dreary roads of those in need! Be the hope in the eyes that for some reason they could never see!
Darkness be afraid and forwarned!
For as long as we all keep shining our bright rays of hope, you shall never truly conquer this world!
Keep shining you beautiful light!
Always a friend!

this poem is sad. but from light came darkness to shine light that only you could put out. since you have been on the dateing game . true love is hard to be found. the only person you really can trust is you. unless life brings you something new.

This is so powerful!
"It didn't just arrive, by the way, It became you!

This poem really makes you think about what we're doing with our life.

This is an excellent poem Dani. You and Robin write well together. I thoroughly enjoyed reading it.

"Embrace what is true and rid yourself of not you
Who would you rather leave the choices to? "

"Engage your True for it leads you to freedom,

Hark!"



I love both of these parts, especially. Truth will always lead you to freedom, if you choose to follow it. Well done, to both of you!!

yes just statements words that lead no-where.
lots of matter and opinions of facts brewing in pot of luck stewing . it's open to interpretation,
much like a sermon,
being served by the preacher who delivers to glazed over eyes,
no -one has a clue what is being said ,or where the testifying is leading you,
yes it is fair to say this collaboration got lost in the darkness of mumble jumble.peace wizthom

You know this is a kind poem which I would love to read over and over again! As it is such a practical work and I found it very close to life... so, I guess most of us can relate ourselves with it!
The entire struggle and then learning from the experience..Well..that's what life is all about :)
great work Dani :)

Embrace what is true and rid yourself of not you

Dani, this especially true. fear is the thing that stops you when things sometimes become so overwhelming that you are paralyzed with it. to let go and go on is the important part...to listen to the inner voice that tells you to forget about it and go on.

you and Robin do write well together and this write is especially good....congrats to the both of you.

Always,

You can never intend it going into a write, but if you can grasp at some sense of your truth...you will find a mystical "third"...It is a clue from our collective that the Soul is paying attention...

And so I feel it is with this our second collab...about principles again...that there is a larger truth than the two of us combined shining through our meagher, yet skilled wording...
Excellent! Thanks to Dani for rendering us solid in our focus and Keeping our lookout positive!
