More Powerful Than Beyond Belief

Running blind into bricks

our mistakes grew real

after seeing our blood flow free.

We swim in the Nile

during plagues to watch it all go down.

Our Odyssey lurks in savage hunts-

our desire, too mean to even burn

roams beyond witch-hunts and dark controlling, worldly fantasies of global domination.

Our desire to experience it all and head toward Polaris flew like fireflies to our hearts, lighted us up like Fourth of July with our feet in the water.

We floated in Billabong,

friendship fitting perfect like tongue and groove.

The sight of petunias and falling stars

drives curiosity to shimmer and stick

to endless wonder.

We saw summer fields

get polished with Ice and we skated fearless

into frozen today's and tomorrows.

TNT blasted in our veins

we became desensitized to parental tongue lashings and beatings.

Whole mountain sides crumbled on our shoulders

we hurled boulders from our thoughts and penetrated eleven other Rivers

in eleven different worlds with our gigantic splashes.

We knew there was something incredible inside us

even if Everybody bogged us down with labels and names.

We cared not for bank accounts or titles.

We left the business world to the blind unbelievers.

Let us run wild into freedom

please take our hands

she and only she will kindly receive us.

We have no use for time.

Give us deep lakes and timber.

No time for Timocracy and foolish idols.

Let us time warp back to Germany and save 6 million lives from wrongful execution.

Let us play in tiger lilies,

run through night thunder and return home

a thunder-bolt ready to crash fire

and thrash chaos.

Our rebellion against tyranny presented itself early

we threw a monkey wrench into machines that wanted to take away our souls.

We thrived in exploration

even if we saw our skin hanging from thorns and thistle.

Thick as thieves with no time to think and drown in the wasted thoughts of the dead
 who run it all with blind interpretations and thin skinned lies burning like demons through our heads

There against

we leap beyond the wall

our panting breath longing to breathe in this heroic, summer night

full of alligators and Milky Way reflections.

Wide lakes became our oracle and told us to ignore the nasty illusions, Love is all there truly is.

Lupine sounds in the forest made us adapt and grow claws

now we are just as strong

more powerful than beyond belief.

Our thoughts race now

beyond Oracle Lakes

to a great frontier from
where we all were born

and some day will return

to a place where all is light

but still can be found today

raging in the heart.

This poem is breath taking. Just, wow. I love it. "TNT blasted in our veins, we became desensitized to parental tongue lashings and beatings" is my favorite line. Well done :)
