Children instinctually
know who to avoid
It is often believed
they have a unique
relationship with spirit
A connection to the realm
from which they arrived
from recent, still lingering
in their present psyche
body, mind and spirit
They are unattached to worldly
possessions as fervently
as most adults can’t unattach
too lost from their own instinct
with remorse and regret
Look toward the children
for future calls to action
instinct for blood holds
no distraction
Call back instinct
your spirit claims
the children have
beckoned
in righteous name,
I instinctually feel
the molten burn of
energy that flows in
the earth’s crust below
the beating pulse of the skies
and the eternal mind’s eye
high above
I instinctually feel the hot skin
of the wind in the nether reaches
of my dreams – held in suspension
in a vast virtual, galactic dimension
I instinctually love deeply
those I know discreetly
the most precious I hold dearly
I instinctually run from the nether
to escape the hell-heat of others
The bled-out devil evil
of those with no colors
Intent on destroying
all the lovers and creatures
from animal to Kingdom,
they are death seekers
They play with people like
craven clawed raptors
lust-filled vapid
hungry infractors
I instinctually answer,
the call of the universe
the whispering tongues
of babies conversations
they speak of
an unbridled love
with no fatal attractions,
look toward the children
for future directions.
