Little Blue Van

Little Blue Van


All in a moment
A journeys beginning
A lifetimes end
The vortex starts spinning
And sucks me in

The little blue van
Is coming to take me away
The little blue van
Is on its way
The dark little man
Is making his claim
The dark little man
Is starting the game

And I don’t want to know
What it's coming to
I don’t want to know
Where it's going to
I don’t want to know
What she’s going through
Do you want to know
What I’m going thru

In fragments of moments
I am gripped from beneath
The cloud pulls me under
And removes his sheath
There are no words
That could whisper this dream
That could penetrate so deep
And shatter the seams
There are no excuses
That could remove these stains
That could free these tears
And resurrect these remains

The little blue van
Is on its way
The little blue van
Is coming to play
The dark little man
Is coming for me
The dark little man
Is inside of me

And I don’t want to know
What it's coming to
I don’t want to know
Where it's going to
I don’t want to know
What she’s going through
Do you want to know
What I’m going thru

In daydreams and playthings
I still see the face
In nightmares and daystares
I still feel the chase
There are no feelings
That could understand me now
There are no directions
To find my way out
There is only a glimpse
Of a life that once was
There is only a shadow
Covered in rust


Now the little blue van
Is fading from view
The little blue van
Is Fading from you
The dark little man
Has Left me alone
The dark little man
Has turned me to stone

And now I think I know
What it's coming to
Now I think I know
Where it's going to
And now I think I know
What she’s going through
Do you want to know
What I’m going thru

The Time has Come to burn the Stage

To open lids that bear the weight
Draw the blinds of heavens gate
The freedom of the soul at stake
Map divides and rides the fate
With open fire and open raids
Different masters gather slaves
Lines crossed and lives lost
To pay the boss of HollowCost
Build the golden cage of WAN
The Magic Sigil mocking Man
Future timelines spreading thin
On tangled drives that hardly spin
Fiery flames that speak in tongues
Crimes of war on old and young
To bind the hands and steal the land
Lock the grid with invisible bands
The frequencies provoke the nodes
Grid of lies and spoken codes
And human minds on overload
Close the blinds as I~s implode
The marionettes dance and sing
Bars and towers ping and ping
The cells and souls of everything
Splintered by the tyrant kings
Mind is fractured and mined for ore
Is tied in twine and torn some more
Prism sanctions and signals of war
Guard the hearts that swim to shore
Electric shock as flocks are fed
Fence of fire as bodies are bled
In majestic hues of blue and red
Magnetic murder in the marriage bed
Fields manipulated by deoxy lies
The earth is scorched far and wide
Herd is ushered back inside
Is hushed and censored and left to die
Murdered by masters trapped in the game
As disaster manufactures by flood and flame
Foundations that crumble and tumble again
Built from the bones and the burdens of men
For a new infrastructure to trap the souls
Smart cars and dumbed down roles
Cities built upon wiped files of the old
In virtual prisons as decisions unfold
A new catechism for the new hybrid minds
Stupid little lies for the deaf and blind
Game is reset as the players decide
Whose spirit will remain trapped inside
Time for the sovereign to reclaim the throne
Has to be done by the Self Alone
Come to your senses and reMember your oath
To be a beacon of beauty and truth
Burn in the fire of initiation and seed
The holy secret of hearts that bleed
Stage has been set lights have been dimmed

Three Battles

🙈🫀👣👁️"Three Battles"👁️👣🫀🙈

( Dreamtime 5-28-15)

🔥 Dream 1: I am running and trying to escape' someone/group of people. There is one main figure, whom I never really get a good look at, trying to kill or decimate me. I struggle and struggle, climbing over cliffs and rocks, jumping valleys, elaborate maneuvering...there are many close calls when the attacker is a breath away, and I manage to escape or roll away at the last minute. This seems to go on and on. Though there is only one person manifesting as attacker.
I know in the dream it is more of an Energy or group, or that the assailant is not working alone.
Each time I think I have gotten to some safe spot, where I have outrun this certain death, the whole cycle starts again, and once again I am exhausting myself thru the running. Finally, I am so exhausted from trying to outrun Death, that I think to myself 'fuck it. I surrender. Id rather just die. Kill me. I cannot run any longer. I cannot keep this cycle going. At that moment, my attacker, who is inches away, stops. Disappears. I can feel that there is laughter. I can feel that "group' behind this energy are watching me from afar, that the whole thing was a big game. I then see a jeep driving thru the forest where I am a part of the forest where I grew up and which as kids we called 'the Maze' it was a large loop of pathways that connected all behind in the mountains I grew up in. I take note of the fact I am in the maze and I feel relieved that I do not have to run anymore, and realize that all I had to do all along was surrender. I then see a man sitting on a small hillside looking out into the forest.... there is a peacefulness about him. I wander up to him, and as I get closer I realize its Kurt Cobain and I say 'YOU! and I walk up to him and look closely at his face. there is so much peace and light but he is silent, and I smooth the hair from his cheek behind his ear. I feel laughter energy in the trees:

🔥Dream 2: I am in the same part of the forest as before, only its a slightly different area of the maze and I along with my boyfriend and some other friends who work on a farm in waking life, are using large tractors and machinery making a new road thru the forest, or smoothing it out etc..some kind of major structural work is going on and it seems important. The next thing we know we are under attack. It starts in the skies, but we cannot see the attackers, but we know they are there, and there is much upheaval; everyone is startled and trying to hide or defend.
THen we see some of them but they are only dark shadows, but I am hefting very large rocks toward them aware that in the face of their weapons it is probably meaningless, but I feel I need to do something to protect the others. They are acting strategically, and wiping out the roads, and at one point they create an explosion that makes a landslide where one of the large backhoes is
digging…three men are toppled with the machine and pulled from it and we know they have been beheaded though I do not see this graphically in the dream. I am running back and forth trying to help, but then realize that my son, as well as all the other civilians are on the other side of the forest, and that there is no one to protect them. I know I have to go check on them but am also reluctant to leave the crew who are trying to defend our territory. I throw my phone in some bushes, because I know that 'they' can track me with it, and I run thru the forest to what is now a refuge style camp. there are kids and adults all over playing and just trying to get thru the day but the energy is not scary nor does it seem the battle has reached them. I find my son and he is playing with his friend, I hug him and I tell them both not to run down that certain road into the forest because the battle may have reached there at this point and it is unsafe. Some other man gives me his phone, because I want to try and get ahold of my boyfriend in the battlezone. But then I see my son and his friend run straight to the road I warned them about. I run after them and by the time I have almost reached them, a car explodes and the hood lands on my son, trapping him beneath and puncturing him in several spots with pieces of metal. I run to him and lift the hood and I say his name, in sorrow, and lift him and see that he is alive but weak, and I make a quick assessment of his injuries then carry him over and hand him to a friend of mine, C, who in waking life is a very angelic huge hearted healing presence. he is the father of the other boy, and when I hand my son to him my son turns into his son A. A mumbles something and I see C put him inside a strange rectangular piece of equipment and he opens his sons scalp and when he does so I see inside it is a cylindrical piece of tube, seemingly cardboard, such as a paper towel role...strange...and I realize that C was opening his skull to check the cartridge to see how much blood he had lost and how much life energy he had left. He seemed to be in good hands, and was not in danger of dying, and I left them. I realize that it seems like so long since I had heard any noise or bombs and then realized I had no idea how long i had been gone or away from my boyfriend and the others and I needed to see if there was anyone left who had survived. I run back thru the forest toward the battleground and I stumble upon my pink phone that I had left before. I start to dial but remember that the 'enemies had control of the airwaves and that as soon as I used the phone my location would be detected and I would be annihilated possibly. So I threw it back down and and then I see a swarm of something coming over the hillside, and a large audible buzzing sound; Its coming straight for me so I cover myself with leaves etc, and try to hide, it seems to work and the swarm moves past. I wonder to myself if it is insects or some kind of drones. I then continue to scamper up the steep hillside to the road that is a wasteland of machinery now and upheaval. I hear no more fighting however. It seems that the warring has ceased. I frantically search for my boyfriend, and I see off to the right on a concrete slab, my ex husband/sons father who is still a friend in waking life, along with another friend. They are rolling a cigarette and are filthy and worn out but in good shape.
As if reading my mind, they say 'R is ok. Hes down the path; he helped to save everyone. ‘ So I run down the path and I see him and throw my arms around him so glad he is safe and that the havoc is over.

🔥Dream 3: Once again there is some kind of fight or battle going on.... and once again it takes place roundabout "the maze” ...only this time I feel confident and I am unafraid. And I am armed with a gun, which seems powerful, and I am in combat sort of, but its more like guerilla warfare.....but I do not use my gun, for the most part, I feel it unnecessary since I am able to outmaneuver the soldier types whom I come across... I believe I used it only one time, and that was when I was almost caught in the line of fire and I fired first and eliminated the soldier. There is then an old man who seems to be a part of the forest and he holds up a very large piece of cloth/fabric...it is a vibrant red and lush velvet or some really beautiful material. It is a large swath of cloth and he shows me it has been torn and ripped... and I see a long rip all the way thru it, and it is in two separate pieces almost. he says to me that I have the gift to fix this rip. And that this tear is what has brought devastation to the land. I analyze the situation and realize that perhaps it is because I am a Seamstress in waking life/ a patchworker....that I can Re-Seam or Stitch the Tear in the Tapestry...and I feel a surge of energy and confidence and I take the cloth and know that all shall be well. I wake up.

Crazy Little Girl

Crazy Little Girl


eyes cold as ice
a storm in another time
peering at the dreams
frozen in rhyme
Madness makes masters
of men who wake up
learning from the dreams
that free them from the muck

crazy little girl
crazy little girl
paranoid
hypnotized by the world
swept away
swept away
lost inside the void

A heart as warm as fire
burning- alone, alone
dreaming, flying higher
outside the lines she roams
wake up, wake up
see the inner skies
awaken your fragile heart
for freedom from their lies

Crazy little girl
crazy little girl
lost inside her world
freedom without
freedom within
wake up, little girl
let the world in.

Where in this existence am I

Where in this existence am I?
Out wandering beneath the sapphire sky?
Crawling on my knees
digging in the dirty disease
of life
taking turns with god
in the neon light
of the turquoise dream
finding the ocean beneath the stream
my eyes bleeding from constant sight
unwavering in the dark of night.
Countless days I've spent in vain
bathing in the acid rain
peeling my skin from my brittle bones
plastered to the iron stones
of Life.
Where in this existence am I?
A diamond in the sunlit sky?
Casting my shadow across the barren ground
pretending to be a god
in the world that I have found?
Inside the embryo
I wallow in blood
awaiting the push of the eternal flood
into a life where feelings are stone
and bitterness of the unanswered quest
leaves me cold and alone.
