The Stone Wall

Who am I?

2012-01-20T22:25:00.001-08:00

I am the spark that shines in the dark. I am the feeling from which you are reeling, the healing your pain is concealing manifesting and killing. I am am the energy that leaves you as it takes you, makes you and breaks you, creates and devastates and liberates and enslaves and saves you, hates and loves you. I am the spark in the dark and the light in the night, the fire, the flower, the power the fight! I am the King of might, the willed surrender of a boundless dream, the I that is born from the eye of life.

All I want to Do

2012-01-16T06:31:00.001-08:00

All I want to do is dance

And disappear into a trance

Away from pain and romance

All I want to do is dance

All I want to do is sing

Feel the joy my voice can bring

Let it out let freedom ring

All I want to do is sing

All I want to do is love

Everything I’m dreaming of

Take me to the stars above

alI I want to do is love

All I want to do is flow

Everywhere my heart can go

Life beyond my own ego

All I want to do is flow

All I want to do is be

Lift me up and set me free

Release me into energy

All I want to do is be

Energy

2012-01-12T22:23:00.001-08:00

I died and went to heaven

but the music brought me down
Here I am again
A King without a crown
just couldn’t fight the feeling
love is God and God is free
free is all I’ve ever been
free is all I’ll ever be

Energy

more than words

2012-01-10T00:42:00.000-08:00

upon a crystal ship with silver wings
he slips boldly through the seamless night
dancing on a sea of dreams
yearning for his lover's light

a soul that she has never known
yet born from the spirit of her ache
into the night she sweetly sings
and gently dreams her love awake

PRISM

2011-12-27T00:25:00.001-08:00

feel the rhythm in your soul, let it go
everybody that you know you are so
rock your body to the cosmos, ego
expand your mind until you explode implode
ecstasy beyond all reason, breath in
"rhythm is life and life is rhythm," livin
free the light that you've been given, PRISM

Harmony

2011-12-26T12:17:00.001-08:00

the perfumed petals of the sweetest rose

the vibrating hum of bumble bee wings
fly through her branches of razor sharp thorns
armed with his bite and the poisonous sting
for love of her nectar he gleefully sings
for love of his pollen she’s opening
their dance is as timeless as beauty itself
La petite mort est digne de la vie qu'elle apporte

One Love

2011-12-26T01:29:00.000-08:00

You me we infinity one
from the darkest void to the brightest sun,
the game is never lost or won,
but only played for the sake of fun.
For you are God and so am I
and the God in us can never die,
but only leap from eye to eye
to gaze in wonder at the sky.
Listen to your heart and you will know
to love thy friend and love thy foe
is to love thyself so thyself may grow
to love all that though art blessed to know.

Matter and the Ego

2011-12-14T17:54:00.000-08:00

as I am made from matter, I know that I matter. And as I am made from the same matter as everyone else, I know that I do not matter more or less than anyone and everyone else. We are essentially all the same, and to look at life any other way is a game. If I must play this game, then I choose to wager all that I have, the very matter that I call myself in this life, in a bet that I matter so much that I can afford to give myself away to the last atom and still matter. Through this game, I have learned that I get more than I give when I give out of love and get less than I take when I take out of selfishness. It seems that the most abundant life is a life spent freely giving from the infinite spring of godly love from which we all arose.

prince of darkness

2011-12-14T04:28:00.000-08:00

(A poem sounded out in the cipher-sphere through the voices of:
Chris Clarke, Shaun-Mac, Frank Agrama and Ethan Stone)
Why don’t we go and take this trip for a ride
take a hit hold it in let it go and release what's inside
spread your wings
catch the vibe and just glide
touch down to the earth
keep your eyes to the sky
stars fall, water flows
seeds root and life grows
the spirit of God echoes
in the vibrations of the cosmos
the prince of darkness has finally seen the light
and cries in wonder at the beauty of the night

Free Money

2011-11-28T19:54:00.001-08:00

Today, I let go of myself and with all my heart embrace you.
For it is your love that makes me and my only wish is to thank you.
And with whatever love you gain from me, embrace another and set me free
and in this way we shall always be alive in a state of love.

Son of the Sun

2011-11-27T01:55:00.001-08:00

Son of the Sun, breath and awaken from this dream you call life and find yourself as you truly are, a star.

The gates of heaven are open but you must leave yourself behind.

Fear not the death of ego, it is only in your mind.

Shine

Heaven's Bridge

2011-11-24T03:22:00.001-08:00

Take me to the place
where everything is music
Where the dance goes on forever
like there was nothing to it
Where pain is just the way
to a deeper sense of beauty
Where the laws I must obey
Are the ones that set me free
Where star flowers bloom
In the black earth of my soul
And darkness comes to life
In the death of my ego
Take me to the bridge
Between the imagined and the real
And let me dive into the cosmos
To see how heaven feels

sublime

2011-11-23T04:12:00.001-08:00

100 billion humans have lived on this little earth of ours
Gazing up at 100 billion galaxies each with 100 billion stars
with our 100 billion neurons lighting up our minds
The beauty of the night is perfectly sublime

infinity one

2011-11-21T04:04:00.001-08:00

As i give up my desire to control you
I expand my consciousness to include you.
As I gaze into the mirror I see you.
As I look into your eyes I see myself.
As I reach into myself I feel the sun
You, me, we, infinity, one.

The Now Eternal

2011-11-21T03:35:00.001-08:00

Am I the dreamer or the dream
the Surfer or the wave upon which he rides
Am I the seeker in the night
Or the stars reflected in his eyes
Conductor of a lonely heart
Or the heart of an infinite symphony
where waves and particles dance to life

I wonder at the probability

Love in the immaterial realm

2011-11-13T14:54:00.001-08:00

(to David, Frank, Natasha, Maya, and Whitney, without whom this poem could not exist)

Love in the immaterial realm

where patterns dance across moonlit tides

A crystal heart drives the helm

Towards a land no eyes have ever seen

The sacred dream folds time and space

to a place beyond the reach of doom

where the infinite victory of fearless art

Shines eternal as the moon

Dead Flowers Bloom

2011-11-10T21:10:00.001-08:00

Dead Flowers
(dedicated to the spirits of all our ancestors)

Every moment a
new frame of existence
So let down your guard
let go your resistence.

The future is out there
but past in an instant
Open your ears

so much for the present
When we are day dreaming
So much for love
the money is glistning

But what of the world
and what of its plight
Shall we wait for our children
To do what is right
Or listen to conscience
and surrender
to might

Keep Singing of days
that we long to remember
The mightiest fires
Are born from just embers
So keep singing and marching and longing for days
when we are more mighty
than armies of slaves

Dead flowers will bloom tonight
the dark is going to come to life
The world will be filled with light
The third eye awakens to sight

As long as it takes

2011-10-23T07:39:00.000-07:00

I could look into a sea of women
And instantly know that you are not there
But in the same moment I could rejoice
Because I carry you with me everywhere
my love, you mean more to me than time
That is why I will wait as long as it takes
For the day you will say that you will be mine

The afterlife is the momentum of the energy we give off over the course of our lives.

2011-09-22T00:42:00.000-07:00

The great universe is tree and we are but fruits at the tips of it's branches. When we fall our seeds scatter and grow. Nothing truly dies. Only changes. But throughout time, the seed, the tree, everyone, in the truest sense, all are one.

love myself

2011-08-09T00:16:00.001-07:00

I'm afraid that I am still

a ways away from being ok

really hope that you don't take it

too personally if I stay away

because you really cut me deeply

and it really isn't easy

to put myself together

when you left me so completely

no I'm not blaming you

cuz it was my fault too

things fall fall apart

thats just what they do

so god bless no stress

I may be feelin hopeless

but I've got no regrets

and I wish you the best

goodbye is so much easier

to say than to hear

so I'll say goodbye to the years

and the tears as they fall

from my eyes to my cheek

without any sound

some dry up

and some hit the ground

I guess whatever goes up must come down
And Maybe I do miss havin you round
So strange to feel so lonely in this crowded town

I'm feelin better as I think that someones listening

even if it's just me hearing the words that I'm singing

I may be lonely cuz I aint got nobody else

but someone loves me long as I remember to love myself.

I Commit to the Good Cause

2011-07-08T01:51:00.000-07:00

I commit to the good cause
Because she forgives me for all of my flaws
and all that's left is the good she sees in me
she is the cause of the man I want to be

With a kiss on the cheek she made me her knight
silently sworn to fight the good fight
to protect, to serve, to do what is right
My heart is a crystal filled with her light

The journey is long and barely begun.
The challenges great and I am but one.
But if I should falter, stumble, or fall,
She gives me the strength to fight for us all.

losing my way

2011-04-09T04:01:00.000-07:00

I've been searching every place
for someone to replace
the feelings that I can't erase
the heaven of our soul embrace

but everywhere I go,
everyone one I meet,
everyone I know,
awake or in my sleep,
everything in this lonely world
and anything I do
reminds me of a lifetime
I was meant to share with you

I've been searching night and day
For the words to sing these blues away
She was an Angel. But I couldn't stay
So she let me go and I lost my way.

Fortunate Dust

2011-04-07T06:37:00.000-07:00

If we must die, and die we must, let us live and give 'till we turn into dust. For this life is worth more than a fortune can pay; and our fortune’s are worthless until given away.

EGO INC.

2011-03-29T14:45:00.001-07:00

I am the bridge between the imagined and the real; I am what happens when what if becomes what is. I am the momentum of movement in motion; I am an ocean of emotion that ebs and flows to the music of the cosmos. I am you, explode; we are one, implode. the lesson we unite and divide by perception. The body of the universe is no more or less than the space where souls are rested and resurrected. Time is a question tested. The answer to the question is that the question is the answer. To connect the question to the moment is to be alive with power. To release time and question is to give in to peace. To answer the question from every direction of time and space is enlightenment. Enlightenment is the pure light of truth. To radiate truth it to be a creator. Creators united are the building blocks of everything that matters, and there is no emptiness they cannot fill, no darkness they cannot bring to light. The true potential of the universe lies in the power of co-creation.

see the light

2011-03-29T14:37:00.000-07:00

MY SOUL is in darkness
And you are the light
A glimpse of the dawn
at the end of the night

You float toward heaven
While I fall below
the world stands between us
but there’s always tomorrow

Because I know that you are out there
shining in the sky
And maybe it will kill me
But I’m willing to die to see the light

forever begins and ends with now.

2010-05-21T02:54:00.001-07:00

I've Lost You

2010-02-16T04:59:00.000-08:00

All my blood is blue,
the fire in my heart is dead
as a river of pain soaking up the rain
Only my eyes are red

sinister as the lies
that bled my tear ducts dry
you can watch me leave
just don't ask me why

Goodbye's can be so hard
when you leave your heart behind
When All that's spoke is marred.
When love has left you blind

I must learn to forget
What I shall never tell her
she cries "I've lost you"
but the truth is I still love her

Sand

2009-12-06T06:21:00.001-08:00

If I get any more lonely I'm likely to create something beautiful, attract love, and ruin my creative streak. "nobody's home. don't call. nobody will answer" she said, as if the dead could speak. Leave me in peace, to rest my weary bones beneath this heavy sadness. What matters more? Reality or perception? Image or reflection? Speed or direction? I suppose nothing really matters. The question is the calamity. Just the madness of a comeback to a lesson: if we're already dead and life is but a dream, love is all that's left. And it's ruining my loneliness like silence broken by the scream of an immortal Prince echoing between the stone walls in the mausoleum of KINGS

"Carpe Fatum" By: Ethan Stone

2009-11-13T05:21:00.000-08:00

Like it or not you get what you've given

so you can make the choice to give up or give in
But you won't go no where unless you are driven
to take what is yours and really start livin

This town is full of actors dreamin they gon make it

hit the bars and hit the clubs and do their best to fake it

and while they're busy partying I simply fuckin take it

and when they find me on the throne they're too afraid to say shit

cuz I work in my sleep, that's why I'm livin my dreams
I live without patience cuz I was born to be King
I was hungry from the start and now they start believen
even got these haters talkin bout what I'm acheivin

But I got love for every one till the day my heart stops beatin
Cuz I know that we are one, though it may seem like we're competing
Only thing I know fo sho is that I'm alive and breathin
And that times may change, but people don't.
That's why History's repeating.

remembering the names of those who changed the course of time
Nirvana comes to those who leave the world Sublime
Hamlet suffered in the flesh to earn peace of mind
Jesus was just a man His Spirit was divine
forgive the fallen lead the climb
out of the darkness
seek and find
follow your
heart and
learn to
shine

My world
is your
world
&
Your
World
Is Mine

"Gravity & Stardust" by Ethan Stone

2009-11-11T05:49:00.000-08:00

Please forgive me for my sins
You got to let me go
or let me in
I'm better than the man I've been
and I'm ready to begin

A new life where love is King
shinning upon us like the sun beams
Lifted by the joy it brings
till we fly like birds upon wings

to a land of better days
where I've learned to change my ways
and I don't have to be afraid
of commitments that I've made

A brave new world awaits if you
will take the leap and say I do
and if we fall we'll fall together
because this kind of love lasts forever

we're all just star dust anyhow
And perhaps a billion years from now
when lovers look to the sky
we'll be the light they swear by

Greatest Work of Art by Dana Clarke

2009-10-27T07:11:00.000-07:00

"Your mommy loves you, your daddy loves you, I love you, and you love yourself. If you know what you want and you work hard for it, you'll probably get it. If you are kind to others, you'll bless your life. If you are cruel to others, you'll curse your life. Time is all you've got so make every moment precious. And always remember, YOU are your own greatest work of art."

My dad, Dana Clarke, used to say this to me every night when he put me to bed, immediately after playing "Skye Boat Song" on his weathered classical guitar. These words have had a profound effect on my life and I want to share them with the world on his behalf. I love you dad.

   Skye Boat Song
     
           Speed bonnie boat, like a bird on the wing
           Onward, the sailors cry
           Carry the lad that's born to be king
           Over the sea to Skye.
          
               Loud the winds howl, loud the waves roar
               Thunder clouds rend the air
               Baffled our foes stand on the shore
               Follow they will not dare.
          
           Though the waves leap, soft shall ye sleep
           Ocean's a royal bed
           Rocked in the deep, Flora will keep
           Watch by your weary head.
          
               Many's the lad fought on that day
               Well the claymore could wield
               When the night came, silently lay
               Dead on Culloden's field.
          
           Burned are our homes, exile and death
           Scatter the loyal men
           Yet, e'er the sword cool in the sheath
           Charlie will come again.

Having arrived at last at the present moment, eye magi Nation all creation in free celebration. losing myself to move myself to love you as I love myself our peace of mind aligned in a cosmic combination, unlocks the very heartbeat of the universes radiation. United by the commonality of insistence on existence we bend our will till time stands still in the singularity of this sacred instance. May the world be overwhelmed by peace and love and may we cherish life’s only gift, the present.
