“More of my people have been coming into the world, but it is difficult to have had to come before them to help hold open way.”

Eden’s Apple
“Whether or not knowledge was originally forbidden, the tale has surely been used against women to deny and go against their inherent power – though it is Man who has used knowledge to cause such destruction.”
“Regeneration”

Self Defining
Who were you?
Who are you, now?
Who do you want to be?
Are you happy?
If not, what is missing?
What must be sustained?
What can be changed?
What would be your ideal identity?
Where do you want to be?

(Light Through The Leaves – MYRNE)
This is so beautifully designed and orchestrated with unveiling, delightful surprises!
The Intervention
“I remember asking to be helped, to be set free – and got disrupted, spaces propelled from my body into another parallel unuverse.
I keep trying to call them back to me, but they are stuck – and trying to keep going forward brings pain and gasping without their being retrieved.
Tensing, I can’t help but keep cycling between attempting to rest and renewed struggling.
Am I supposed to just lean back and let arms wrap around me from where my pieces have gone to?
If I cannot call them back, maybe they will claim me – and pull me into where they’ve been propelled to.
Maybe there could be a better life for me.
I keep feeling something, somewhere calling…”
Preliminary
“Having family come live with me may help heal a wound that has still been in need, and also might provide a way to travel while maintaining semblance of stability.”

My Kind Of Bass
My Phase Of Life
“Making up for time taken from me or given away to others.”
Hmm
“I’ve been using a machine before my workouts that helped to relax my spine, thereby giving me a sense of being able to work from the core outward.
But I am noticing today that having not done that machine first, my walking gait is better at the end if this day.”
“Rainbow Runner”


Some kind of a running bird.
Soul Mate
Searching for summer
That tastes like rain
Too distracting
Recurrent pain
Looking for you
Below to higher
Camoflauged
Mirroring fire
Craving
It’s good enough to
Hint at the problem
Because what’s needed
Becomes complicated
Where before met improperly
Rendered broken and starving
Dissuasion
Sitting at grandfather’s piano
Playing inharmonically-drawn
To explore lows and highs
Yielding creative pleasure
Drawn to black adventures
Never before considered
Promising darker realms
Guided by balanced light
Yet constant interruption
Of warning perceptions
Prevented wandering freely
Where rumored monsters
Unable to conjure white
Where predators prevailed
Forced to hide
In a prison cell
Behind The Mask
You make me wish
I could reappear
So far behind you now
I cannot remember
And when I strain to
Reclaim abilities
Thinking how we
Could harmonize
Beyond limitations
‘Til now imposed
My head steams and
I collapse to the floor
Sobbing and screaming
For Heaven’s vindication
For how can you love me now
As a ghost of what was before
You who have been torn apart
By power that came with you
While I was severed from cord
Nourished by Earth’s treasures
Melodic Whispers
I hear them far away
Calling to finger tips
As if I had once known
Everything about them
But my memory
Has been wiped
And the pathway
Badly damaged
In an attempt to
Force forgetting
Trauma Blocks
TBI increases
Magnitude of
Prior head injuries
During childhood
Acting like ADHD
Autism spectrum
Seizing when
Eyes engaging
Disrupting attempts
To overcome blocks
From childhood messaging
Resisting embracing music
Yin-Yang
Tidal forces
Tear apart
Reason’s
Guidance
Sun to moon
Moon to sun
Vye for control
In body of one
Where no external
Anchor balances
(Don’t Miss – The Blue Stones)
Suspended Animation
Strapped in
Swinging
No master
May claim
Seeking to break
What’s forbidden
Unfair advantage
Spitting hissing’s
Defiant grievance
Against collusion
Resentful
Dependency
Screaming
Liberation
From others’ sins
To rightful owner
Grasping chains
Then releasing
Thereby gaining
Devotion’s fealty
(Euclid – Sleep Token, Teeth Of God Tour, Cedar Park, TX – Live 4K)
Time’s Bleeding
Home sliding toward a cliff
Could’ve pulled it back when
Muscles were connected
And fibers didn’t separate
Mother fu**ing karmic debt
I swear
It better be paying forward
Grunting and sweating to lift
Even the most light of stones
Turning with suppressed screams
As joints tear at injured sites again
Just claim disability and become a nobody
Where any advance will forever be blocked
Next levels dealing with suffering
Conscripted to martyrdom, afterall
Age & Injury
Trying to make
A hard case to
Just give up
No time for
Grieving
Struggling to lift
Shackled weights
Erased identities
Free will farcing
Preaching Bibles
Original sin bliss
Condemnation for
Imagined transgressions
Cracking whip
Ghost impacts
Blood boiling
Bone sweltering
Neurological haze
Compression’s box
Stop trying to win
This losing battle
Lies lies lies
Yeah-eah
Fu** this
I’m going home
But where can
Home be found?
Pain & Pressure
“I am struggling to open the door to whom I must and want to become.
But, no matter how I try, it’s pushing back at me.”
Pack Dynamics
She could hardly contain her excitement, knowing she would be greeting them all soon and welcoming them into her territory.
She’d been needing her own pack family, and though she was unsure how much she could do with them, she looked forward to their many romping investigations.
Core Issues
“I’ve been cautious about working on my abdomen, having its distension and internal bulgings and dispacements from the impact.
It’s been frightening to be in a state of blasted torsion after taking on forces greater than the human body is designed for.”
I Knew
“And I tried – God how I tried – but it wasn’t in my hands to be able to stop it and turn it.
Benefits Of Loss
“I used to be very dynamic – capable of producing and expending so much energy.
But now that I can’t (at least temporarily), my children have a chance to catch up to me.”
Embodiment (Metal Song)
By Athena Stairs, May 1, 2025
Wild magic calling
Wild soul answers
Entropic intervention
Disruptions’ function
No choice but to ask
Into vacuous spaces
Mind clinging
To prior traces
Gripping necessity’s
Brandished protections
Must yield unbound to
Ground’s ascension
Elders lecturing
Claim dictates
Silver-tongue
Guided legacy
Do not think to dissuade
What’s been hard-earned
Right’s passage
Pain engulfing
Every cell ’til consumed
Dust to ashes exhumed
Higher callings
As yet unheard

String Theory
(Northern Sky – Nick Drake)
Memories Of Love
Lost In Space
Although people might gravitate
To cheer and speaking candidly
Our deep ingrained protections can
Lock down hard on the hind brain
One minute making progress then
The next turned tail and fleeing
We’ve only learned so much ’til now
And trust is still quite fleeting
Solo Road
“It often seems I do not fit with mainstream common vibing.
On individual paths is where the best are sure to find me.”
Penalized
“For having and voicing needs.”
(Hiding – Ben Bohmer ft. Lykke Li, Visualiser)
It Hurts
“With the pressures squeezing down like a vise, my personal behavior here may become erratic this month and beyond.
Let’s just say, ‘I’m screaming inside.'”
“Dancing Spirit Bird”

“Archaeopteryx”

A Vasty Nothingness
“Something is impinged in my sensory translator that blocks the conceptual application of ‘playing by ear’ for me.
As in translating notes from what I hear into music theory transcription.
And so far in practicing the major scales on the piano, I do not as yet know how doing so will ever become automatic for me.”
“Bird Song”
Bucking Saddles
“Choosing any course of action requires tasks of followthrough, and I find that certain modes conscript central aspects of my core personality that are just too darn tired of getting pushed around and forced into workhorse drudgery.”
Heaven Sent (Song)
By Athena Stairs, April 29, 2025
Something about
The way you feel
Made my heart
Stop and listen
Asking for
Permission
To tell my side
Without pride
Following
Intuition
Startled as two
Hearts collided
Can you see
I want you?
Stumbling over
Heart’s gestures
Making me
A jester in
Your court of
Consideration
As I wonder if
I’ve got the right
Tripping over
My own shoes
Do you care at all
Or are you amused?
My tasks grow heavy
Must find distractions
To help cope
With passion
Inspred by my
Desire for you
What is the rain
Without water?
Dessicated yearning
Through and through
