I was drawn in by a dramatic interaction between a majestic wolf dog with startling blue eyes and a scruffy Scottish mutt at the entryway of a bar that welcomes Woodstock remnants.
I knew I chanced running into a character or three and took the chance. To my surprise, I was treated to a reading of a poem in the making and a spicy companion conversation with the aspiring young poet – Christian Await featured here.

Lost Lessons of Darkness
Part 1
Abyssalacra
Darkness
Emanates
Elemental surprise
Darkness
Illuminates
The Shadows prize
In fertile soil
Mycellium links
Host for the rhythm Au naturale synchs
From womb to the grave
The darkness remains
In the tomb
In decay
The darkness remains
From swords sheath
To pens cap
Weaponized words
Beneath the floors
Windowless room
With no doors
A semblance of
Reality
At play upon
The stage
Resembling naught but
An imagination projected
masquerade
Passive element
Alternates the current
Actively seeking
To compose the circuit
Lost Lessons of Darkness
Part 2
DogmaAgmgoD
Misunderstood aspect
Long shunned
For its perceived evil
Advantage was taken
Of this false perception
To perpetrate petty power dynamics
By mind controllers
Book binders
Mismanagers of card houses
Lined, as dominoes in cities
Applied knowledge
Lost to the people
In lieu of the master and slave
Dichotomy
The potency of darkness decreased
in the shadow of light peddlers
decrees
Opting for heavens promise
Through virtue of active acceptance
Or for hells inevitability
Through vice of passive consensus
Mountains of messiahs
Granting malignant deliverance
To those who follow
Words of false prophets
With thick pockets
Filled with profits
The Lost Lessons of Darkness
Part 3
The Folly of Order Following
Fools gold from the yellow brick road
Funds the effort of war
Followed, it leads to a magi of old
Rotten and vampiric to the core
Age old inorganics relax on the
bones
And viscera of lost generations
As impressionable young men are
sent soley to die
For absolutely no honorable reason
Uneducated dupes
Falling for the patriot act
Sets the scene for the sensational shit
show
Dubious grins
Cacophonous din
Surrounds the table
Lose win
Starting again
The next chapter in the fable
Laughing and drinking
Tonic and gin
And a little bit of blood
Of the next kin
Wealth and resources
Gluttonous hoard
Subservient armed forces
Move across the checkerboard
Peace in the Middle East
Will be an epic feat
Of boundary reconciliation
The fire will cease
There will be a release
From the constraint
Of state politicization
The prevalent atrocity
Is the division and conquering
Of the would be allies
Be it not for militant violence
By so called ‘elites’
Against people
in general
Worldview schisms
Figurehead marionette perpetration
Posturing the world stage
Unwittingly guided by globalist
parasites
Hands up assholes
By the same one asshole
Pressing destructions buttons
Going down the rabbit-K-cash hole
Lost Lessons of Darkness
Part 4
Contrasting Closure
Darkness
Shines the light
On boundaries
Behind the fight
Just before the dawn
Is the darkest of the night
Darkness
Remains the same
Retains the frame
Of reference
With which it began
When untamed
It drives insane
The troubled man
Darkness gives chance
For light to be seen
In a different shadow
Contrasting
Insight unseen
Gives it’s depth to the shallow
Darkness be honored and graciously
accepted
As an integral and necessary aspect
Of totality
The companion of light
The day and the night
Circuit complete in its vitality
