TURN YOUR TV SPIRIT ON by Nejoud Al-Yagout

In life, we are vibrate at various frequencies of consciousness…

These two poems are from my first book of poetry, This is an imprint, which is a compilation of 58 pairs of poems. The first poem in each pair is written on a low frequency or angst, grief or identity crisis while its response is written from a higher level of consciousness or awareness. Turn Your TV Spirit On discusses a selfish love in which the speaker sees only the beloved. This love brings with it pleasure and pain. The response - Turn Your Spirit On - is a poem about expansive, universal love and the field that unites all of humanity.

Turn your TV spirit on

by Nejoud Al-Yagout

I have surfed the channels of your soul

Electric vibes cascaded from your aura

In one field of energy, I swallowed your pain

In one field of energy, I dwelt with madness

(encumbered by la vie jolie)

In one field of energy, I cherished youthfulness

In one field of energy, I knew you would give in 

(to the scattered seagulls on the shore)

In one field of energy, I softly challenged your essence

In one field of energy, I danced with darkness

(befriending the sunless jasmines on the pavement)

In one field of energy, I welcomed your faith

In one field of energy, I walked along the lines of your soul

I have surfed the channels of you

And the secret is ours

Turn Your Spirit On 

There is only one field of energy

And that's not a secret (any more)

It may look black or white

But it is one field

Neither gray, nor colorless

Neither here, nor there

Nor nowhere

Just one field

No need to yield to it

For we are already there

There is only one field of energy
And it's mighty fine.
