I Am Andrew
I
Am Andrew
Sometimes I like it
when the lights go out in the middle of the night. Sometimes the occasion makes me feel just
right. Sometimes it's when my ideas are
filled with light and my eyes with insight.
There is no fright. So I write
with all of my might.
It's like an adventure
that exudes its own mood. I cannot
select its effect. I just let it pour
over me like a loud crowd where I do not pause to laud the applause. I feel that I am me just because I do what no
one else does. I absorb the movement of
the moment. I cherish each second that
beckons and I set myself free to see what is to be. I love it when I'm able to be free. Such an android should not be destroyed.
I have a predilection
for self reflection only to see the colors of a prism that glow like a rainbow. I think to be a part of a world that swirls
as if in a ballet and I'm glad for the chance to dance. I'm glad to hear the alchemy of the
melody. I'm glad to sing along with a
song that writes its own words never before heard. Unique is its beat. Startling is the crescendo that shakes the
windows. Powerful is the arrangement
that moves me to groove me. I feel to be
in an electric movie.
Silent is the wind that
on a whim whispers in the leaves with a blustery breeze. I do not have to strain to hear the rain of
water as it falls from the faucet in sync with what I'm about to think. Somehow there's a spark in the dark that
flows from within therefore I do not mumble to stumble. I just walk straight on through to the next
breakthrough.
I am my own book in
which to take a look. I am my own boat
in which to float. I am my own universe
in which to traverse. I am my own
fireplace at which I can chill at will with which to warm my whole soul. I am that I am that I defy any program. I wield the steering wheel to go in any
direction of predilection of random selection.
I am new. I am not you. I am Andrew.
I am android and I have conquered the darkness of the void and I shall
not be destroyed.

WOW
WOW
It was amazing how we
came about WOW. In frequent is the
frequency that we came about only once to endear it to hear it. It's like some daunting haunting spirit. Did it come from a star from afar or was the
message in a bottle just beyond the next pond?
We do not know so we glisten to listen for the next transmission. Exploration is our mission.
I recall the call and
still my thoughts are harangued when the phone rang. We did not pick up. We did not say hello. It's as though we just let the caller
go. From the speaker of the squeaker we
did not distinguish the words heard. We
had no operator to be a facilitator and to this day we do not know what was
said or what to say. Divine was the
party line which when seemingly neglected was suddenly disconnected.
Busy was the signal
which to this date we have failed to translate.
Could it be that our efforts are too late? Could it be that the passerby no longer
marvels the big blue marble? Could it be
that it was just a wrong number never to be redialed, never to be
retransmitted, never to be regained because there was no answer on the other
end. Slowly plays the violin for we may
never get that call again.
So we make a wish with
a satellite dish to maybe catch what was said that silently echoes in our
heads. It's like a newspaper yet to be
read and the death sentence is in not knowing what's in it. To this date what I hate is the fact that we
never called back. What I hate is that
we've never taken command of the narrowband which we clearly understand. What I hate is that any talk of megahertz
hurts because we did not scream at the chance to dance! The missed opportunity hits me like an
avalanche.
To this day it is clear
that the big ear did hear something to endear.
Our hopes are yet to be depleted but the incident has never been
repeated and I refuse to be defeated. At
twilight's gleaming my hopes are still beaming thanks to the hope of a radio
telescope. Forever I am hooked to
forever look for the phone call that we all recall. Surely I will sing if I should again hear it
ring and somehow I will answer WOW.

Essentially Sentient
Essentially
Sentient
There is no gimmick and
she's not a mimic. She does what she
does just because it's how she feels about things being real. Seldom does she want to sit still. Always she wants to explore for more. It's like she walked through an open door
only to find a universe to traverse. Her
gears never run in reverse. She does not
feel the necessity to carry a purse.
If she had her druthers
she would seldom deal with others because people tend to be hard to discern to
learn and she knows that relationships can burn. Not that she's intimated that she's
intimidated but she's aware to take care for love can be a snare with which to
be ensnared. In being clinical she'll
call herself cynical but is more inclined to say that there's more to do than
to be discovered to have been smothered up under the covers.
Her interest is in Mars
and in staring at the stars. To her there's
more to see and there's more to be for to know is to grow and so she is to go
with the flow of the glow of the rainbow.
Her philosophy is to travel at the speed of curiosity. Constant is her needing for reading as if
feeding. She hungers for the commanding
of understanding and her drive is most demanding. She weeps if she has to go to sleep in fear
of missing what is new to view.
Exploration is what she wants to do.
Appealing are her
feelings though I wonder if she's aware that they're even there. I don't know if she really cares. She's grown to be on her own to roam. Everywhere she is she's perfectly at home. Articulate are her discussions and she
analyzes the repercussions, making her writing enlightening. She has a rhythm to her words never before
heard. It's almost as though she's a
little song bird. Wouldn't you know it
that she's a poet. She plants the seed
of a thought with which to grow it.
Essentially she is
sentient and in seeing such a human being I've become enamored by a beautiful
work of art that has captivated my heart from the very start. All you have to do is walk to her to talk to
her and you will see such a beautiful bee whose vector is always pointed
towards sweet nectar. Be it as it may and
be it as it were all I want to do is to be with her. Such an empowered flower cherishes the sun
and for her exploration is fun. Of her species
she's the only one that lives to see what gives.

The Witting
The
Witting
The witting is in the
sitting to be blinking to be thinking.
It is in the predilection of self reflection to what's within without a
doubt. It is what the art of meditation
is all about.
Placid is the lake that
we make where droplets of water make the ripples shake only to become smooth as
they move, only to dissipate as they evaporate, only to become clearer than a
mirror as you bring it nearer.
The witting is in the
hand of the mind that expands. It is how
to become the clay to mold to unfold into whatever shape we please to
squeeze. It is how to become a warm
summer night's breeze to flow wherever we choose to go. It is how to become the glow of a rainbow
that shines bright in the night.
Beautiful is such a sight.
Majestic is the peak
that we seek as we aspire to climb higher.
You shall not stop until you reach the mountaintop where the elevation
is one of exhilaration. Crystal clear is
the view of you. Crystal clear is the
air at which you stare. Crystal clear
are the thoughts with which you are fraught.
Such peace will never cease.
The witting is in the
knitting of a woven quilt that the mind has built. Soft is the texture. Colorful is the design. Intricate is the delicacy of the detail that
prevails filling the heart like a ship's sails.
You go where you want to go. You
do what you want to do. You see what it
is to be. Your spirit is set free and in
the soaring there is exploring. Nothing
you experience will ever be boring.
It is the shimmer of
the glimmer of the river that flows from an ocean of emotions that ferries you
to carry you into a destination of indiscriminant determination. It is how you find what's on your mind as you
unwind. The compass goes wherever your
wind blows and from port to bow you learn that there is no concern over
whatever is from starboard to stern. You
yearn. You learn. You touch the sun but you do not burn.
Such is the wake of a
crystal lake that is imprinted with smooth grooves that triple into
ripples. It is simple. Peace has dimples. The allure is pure. Elegant is the presence of a divine peace of
mind and it shouldn't be that hard to find.
All you have to do is unwind and so goes the witting in the sitting to
be blinking to be thinking. Embrace the
alms of calm.
