Does the mind ever rest, does it need to?
WAR is a state of mind, a physical struggle, discord, antagonism, conflict between people, nations, factions, states.
An Image I created to discuss WAR.
This was a song I wrote this morning after ‘stumbling upon’ Magnus Blomster’s homepage. I loved the artwork and I made up a story in my head to go along with one of the feelings it left me with.
Focusing on an object I am sure 99% , at least, will recognize what I am speaking about…. ok.. 100% should be able to get it….... : )

A wild and out of control dream. Full of symbolism, inner and outer reflections, and the reality of my life. It speaks of my loves, my sexuality, my health problems, my art, my children, my beauty, my sense of self, my privacy, my sense of humor, my life, my relationships, and my fears…And what happens when someone else has control of these things.
Then the battery exploded and the acid ate away at her face. It was very gruesome. I watched her face melt. It ate right through her head…
This dream has a lot of psychological connections and symbolism. A few places in my pyche that it covers are; 1) feeling split in two, I am really both the girls in the dream 2) feeling set-up for a fall ie: TRAPEZE 3) feeling betrayed, hurt and murdered 4) feeling a huge lack of privacy, like a circus freak show 5) feeling no safety 6) feeling forced to do tricks, and then paying for it with your health and life 7) feeling the hate of a large group 8) feeling isolated, this is all in the middle of nowhereland 9) feeling desolated and alone after it all, or was she? This was a large scale temporary operation…in my dream, but not in my life. The car battery represents the illness that has devastated the inside of my body and health. I think the sport activities were symbolic of sex, and the unicycle indicated that she was trying to be independent, on her own, but look what happened to her on her own.
But no one really cares, to them she is always naked, clothed or not clothed…
Just another day at work…in political hell.
I hesitantly stretch forth my fingertips / and grasp the dusty silky smoothness / of her

Old, random poem I wrote when I was near asleep, funny how sleep makes me pour out poetry.

something so perfect could never go to waste in willing hands
The unicorn to me is the symbol of what I wish to achieve, attain, or possibly also who I wish to find. It’s special, it’s perfect, it’s all I ever wanted, but as much as you wish for such a thing, you know the odds are against you. This is fueled by man’s everyday normal hunger for more than they could possibly ever have. At least we can dream.

I always have bad dreams. I never have good dreams…

I think you will see the message more clearly now. Thanks to those that commented on the original and please read and give feedback on the new version
