There’s something
behind the eyes,
a brilliant flicker—
possessions
of previous lives
whispering, forgotten,
in the dusty
corners of our dreams.
Sleepwalking
into an abyss
we will never
walk back from,
as the greatest of joys
remain hidden
in the simplest of things.
An extraordinary witness
to the world,
I lose my anchor, set adrift
on the current of time.
Living a grand life
with such a
narrow expression,
we reach out,
desperately seeking
the ways in
which we connect,
reasons to belong.
All the while that
hum beneath life,
a vibration, deep and low,
feeding the
outrage machine,
as each of us
are woven meticulously
into the age of the algorithm.
~Eric Vance Walton~
Be well and make the most of this day.

Poetry should move us, it should change us, it should glitch our brains, shift our moods to another frequency. Poetry should evoke feelings of melancholy, whimsy, it should remind us what it feels like to be in love, or cause us to think about something in a completely different way. I view poetry, and all art really, as a temporary and fragile bridge between our world and a more pure and refined one. This is a world we could bring into creation if enough of us believed in it. This book is ephemera, destined to end up forgotten, lingering on some dusty shelf or tucked away in a dark attic. Yet the words, they will live on in memory. I hope these words become a part of you, bubble up into your memory when you least expect them to and make you feel a little more alive.
Pick up a copy of Ephemera today on Amazon.
Most of us have experienced a moment of perfect peace at least once in our lives. In these moments we lose ourselves and feel connected to everything. I call these mindful moments. Words can’t describe how complete they make us feel.
These moments are usually fragile, evaporating in seconds. What if there was a way to train your mind to experience more of them? It’s deceptively easy and requires nothing more than a subtle shift in mindset. My new book, Mindful Moments, will teach you to be much more content despite the chaos and imperfect circumstances continuing to unfold around you. Upgrade your life experience today for only $15.99 on Amazon.com.
