finally something to work with

it's been a while since I've had a moment of inspiration and last night as I was driving home one finally came. They often come when I'm driving which is fairly annoying as it's difficult to remember the words that come to me as I'm driving.

dim lights cast away shadows
as gray masses of mist float on the midnight blue canvas
thoughts circle by faster than the miles click past

The ghost of holiness rages reality

wrapped in what some call "a metal coffin" I'm suddenly and mysteriously reminded of the reality of freedom and source
the power that beats within my heart

locomotion of thoughts wrestle through the calm center of existence
brought home by love
the power I've been disillusioned with strangely seems real as the blinding contruction lights and orange cones that line the lane next to me
fresh as the midnight air creeping through my cracked window

tireless workers in jump suits and yellow hard hats preparing a safer road for weary commuters struggling to make a way.
negotiating with life and reality
with consequences of choices
restless hearts and and nerves ignored
clamored out by the banging voice of obligation, responsibility and duty

I sense realities of invitation beyond what we see, taste and contemplate
my idiosyncratic mystic behavior
I wonder if it coincides with mental illness
my place just might be speaking words of prophecy
instigating and loving and always forgotten

no super star, no business founder or CEO
simply a maveric apostle on the road of love
acting on the volition of the blowing Spirit
inspiring
running my body ragged
the ghost of holiness,
reality
her breath invades
