Fathomed Perceptions
---
Scott Thomas
You are neon electric
diamond gypsy thunder
You are passion incarnate
dreaming whispered caresses
You are focus ignited
dancing fiery atom
You are depth personified
dazzling magic moments
You are light ablaze
drifting smoky signals
You are crisis averted
dangling lusty kisses
You are power raptured
daunting crystal visions
You are truth pulsed
damning fallen systems
You are peace perfected
demanding creative explosion
You are sight opened
drenching weeping eyes
You are flesh experienced
dispersed energy released
Narrow
--- Scott Thomas
Life offers but two
options
on its menu
You can lament
over what has been lost
in the past
for all your days
& remain
empty
(half full at best)
& forever starving
or you can forge your
way
toward the future
& forage for a
feast
that will fatten you
with peace &
happiness
It’s all ice cream
& oranges
& the fine line
between
Process of Evolution
--- Scott Thomas
Eyes closed/heart open
(wide)
Meditations on the true
meaning of love –
not just a word/an
emotion (eruption)
As a child, when I
tried to sleep,
all I could see
was infinite darkness.
An existential crises,
at eight years old,
created a bit of pain
deep in the soul.
Mind awake/spirit alert
(alive)
Affirmations on the
positive force of peace –
not just a concept/an
action (lead by example)
As an adult, when I
learned to pray,
what I discovered
was eternal salvation.
A new lease on life, at
thirty years old,
created an opportunity
for consciousness to
grow.
Notes on How to Dance

Stay the course. Remain disciplined. Align with truth,
health, peace, and love. Extract the most from each day.
Mindfulness. A calm demeanor.
Compassion. Empathy.
Walk steady in good spirits.
Attract financial success:
wealth of spirit and money for survival.
Meditation as a pathway to connect with the source of God.
The center of creation. The nexus point.
Alignment. Attunement. Accord. Harmony. Balance.
The Holy Spirit Vibration.
Light. Electricity. Magnetism.
Honor those who came before and paved the way by putting
your best effort into every aspect of life in the present age.
Liberty. Justice. Freedom. Sovereignty.
The buzz between the ears and the pulsing dot behind the
eyes.
Glandular activation of the cool kundalini waves.
Spiritual ascension/rebirth/renaissance.
