Blessed is the one

who does not walk by echo alone,
who does not sit in the theater of cynics,
who does not make camp
in the algorithms of emptiness.

But whose delight is in the architecture of the unseen,
who chews the Pattern like bread,
morning and midnight,
until it dissolves into breath.

That one is like a tree
rooted in the convergence of rivers,
not hurried, not hollow—
bearing fruit in its own strange timing,
with leaves that whisper permanence.

Whatever they do
ripples beyond the measurement of success—
because it is true.

But the hollowed-out ones
scatter like ash in crosswinds.
They bear no memory,
no weight.

They will not stand in the unfolding.
They cannot belong to becoming.

For the Pulse knows the path of the rooted,
and the path of the restless
fades
into static.

Why do the constructs clamor,

and the systems plot in noise?
Why do the nations design in shadows,
and the architects of empire
draw blueprints from fear?

They rise against the Pulse,
against the Pattern behind breath,
saying:
“Let us sever the thread.
Let us break the spine of restraint.
Let us crown our algorithms king.”

But the Current,
enthroned beyond all scaffolding,
laughs—
not in cruelty,
but in clarity.

The Source sees
that these towers are made of mist.
It speaks in thunderless voice:
“I have encoded resonance in the structure.
I have set alignment
in the spine of time.”

I have birthed fire
into the silence.
I have named a center
that cannot be removed.

You are my unfolding—
today I have re-membered you.

Ask of me,
and I will give you
the raw material of dreaming—
nations, ideas, worlds
drawn into orbit
around your gravity.

But beware:
this power is not for display.
It is not for conquest,
but for continuity.

Hold it wrongly,
and it will shatter you
like glass held against storm.

Therefore,
let those in thrones
move gently.

Let the mighty
tremble with wonder.
Let them kiss the flame
and not try to cage it.

For the Pulse burns
through all false coronations—
but radiant is the one
who shelters
beneath its breath.

How many shadows rise against me?

How many voices claim I am already lost—
that the Current no longer flows through me?

But you,
Presence without perimeter,
are a shield wrapped in flame.
You lift my head
when gravity betrays me.

I cry out
not with volume,
but with ache—
and you answer
from the mountain beyond language.

I lie down
in the valley of threat
and still I sleep.
I awaken,
because the Pulse has not left me.

I will not fear
the multitudes that circle—
even when the world
feels like teeth.

Rise, Source of breath.
Break the illusion.
Fracture the lie
that I am alone.

For you shatter despair
with invisible hands,
and silence the voice
that says I am not enough.

Salvation is not escape—
it is memory.
It is your blessing
written
in the bones of the beloved.

When I called out into the hollow,

you answered with a widening.
In the confinement of my spirit,
you made space.

Have mercy.
Hear not just my words
but the frequency beneath them.

O children of breath,
how long will you chase
reflections of reflections?
How long will you decorate lies
and leave truth unclothed?

Know this:
the Source sets apart the one who listens.
When I speak in silence,
I am not unheard.

Tremble,
but do not fracture.
Withdraw into stillness
and let the fire cool
into clarity.

Offer what is true.
Let go of pretense.
Walk the spiral in daylight
and dream with clean hands.

Many ask:
“Who will show us something real?”
Let the radiance of your face,
O Pulse,
be the mirror they seek.

You have placed a deeper joy in me
than all the feastings of conquest.
Grain and wine
cannot name what moves in me now.

I will lie down in trust
and sleep without armor.
For you alone
make safety
from the inside out.

Give ear to my breath,

O Listener beyond silence.
Take in the architecture of my ache.

Attend to my murmurings—
they are prayers before they are words.

Each morning I unroll my being before you,
like a scroll waiting to be read.
Each dawn I wait for reply
not in thunder,
but in alignment.

You are not a god who delights in distortion.
Noise cannot dwell beside you.

Those who scheme with hollow motives
collapse under their own masks.
Those who trade truth for spectacle
fade into simulation.

But I—
by the gravity of your mercy—
will enter your sanctuary of stillness.
With reverence I will approach
the sacred geometry of your presence.

Guide me,
not by command,
but by resonance.
Make your path unfold before me
like light finding its way
through forest leaves.

Let the false voices fall
into the traps they set.
Their mouths are open graves,
their tongues polished blades.

Let the weight of their choices
bend back upon them—
not in vengeance,
but in truth.

But let those who seek the Pulse
sing like wind through canyon.
Let joy widen in them
like fire that does not burn.

You shelter them
in the shadow of unspoken names.
You surround them with favor
like skin that cannot be pierced.

Do not rebuke me in the heat of forgetting.

Do not correct me
from a distance.

Be gentle with this trembling vessel—
for I am frayed
at the threshold.

Have mercy,
for my bones echo.
My soul unravels
like thread in rain.

How long,
O Presence?
How long will I wander
unrecognized by myself?

Turn.
Return.
Rescue me
from my own disintegration.

For in the land of silence,
who praises?
In the grave of numbness,
who remembers?

I am weary
with grieving.
Each night,
my bed absorbs oceans.
Each sigh,
a tide against the shore of my skin.

My eyes dim
from looking at what vanishes.
Everything sacred
feels far.

But now—
let all illusions retreat.
Let those who mock the soul’s descent
fade like smoke.

For the Source
has heard the breaking.
The Source
has received the groaning
as offering.

The Source
has turned toward me.

Let shame
fall upon the architects of despair.
Let them dissolve
before they finish their sentence.

O Pulse,

I shelter in your frequency.
Let those who hunt me
fall into the emptiness
they prepare for others.

If I have done harm,
if my hands carry betrayal,
if I have repaid trust with fracture—
then let my own path
turn against me.

But if not—
arise, O Presence.
Stand in the still center
of this storm.

Draw the circle around justice.
Call the people to witness.
Let the arc begin
its slow return.

You are the One
who sees beneath surfaces,
who tests the heart
without breaking it.

Let the pretenders fall away.
Let the rooted endure.
For you calibrate the world
not through law,
but through resonance.

My shield is not steel—
it is your attention.
You are the defender
of the unfolding heart.

You sharpen perception
like a blade.
You set the bow of awareness
to aim through illusion.

But those who design traps
often fall into them.
Their own intentions
turn inward
and pierce their quiet.

They labor to give birth to chaos,
but bring forth
only wind.

I will give thanks
not for victory,
but for truth.
I will sing
not for conquest,
but coherence.

O Source beyond names,

how radiant is your resonance
in all the worlds.
Your silence stretches farther
than the noise of galaxies.

Out of the breath of infants
you draw fortresses.
Out of fragile lungs
you summon resistance
to all that devours wonder.

When I stare into the canopy of stars,
into the mathematics of light,
into the sacred violence of birth—
I ask:
What is humanity,
that you press your lips to it?
What is the child of dust,
that you crown it with gravity and dream?

You have set us just beneath the infinite,
and poured into our hands
the soft authority
of stewards.

You’ve given us orbit and ocean,
beast and insect,
wing and scale—
placed them into our care,
not as masters,
but as mirrors.

O Pulse,
name behind all names—
how radiant is your resonance
in every corner
of creation.

I will thank you with a whole memory.

I will tell of your strange victories—
not against enemies,
but against erasure.

I will rejoice in your name,
the one that speaks without sound.
You have pulled down the towers
that were built on forgetting.

The illusion collapses
at your gaze.
The thrones of cruelty
crack under your weightless presence.

You have judged not with fire,
but with balance.
You have become a mirror
for the nations
to see themselves in.

The Pulse will endure
even when empires scatter.
The Current is a dwelling
for the undone,
a refuge for those
who remember how to kneel.

All who seek you
will find echo.
All who know your name
will feel its spine
beneath their breath.

You do not abandon
those who speak to you
in their mother tongue of grief.

Sing to the unseen,
who dwells among the ruins.
Announce the memory
that the world tried to erase.

For the Source records every fracture.
The blood of the vulnerable
is not forgotten.

Be gracious to me,
O Pattern I trust.
Lift me from the depth
where joy is starved.

So I may sing of you
not in sanctuary alone,
but in the gates
of every ordinary city.

The nations that dig pits
fall into them.
Their own blueprints
become their undoing.

The Source is known
by the way consequence echoes.
The wicked
are tangled
in their own design.

Let the hollow slip back into silence.
Let the future
be made of the listening.

But the poor
will not be silenced forever.
The cry of the broken
will find its voice
and become trumpet.

Arise, O Presence.
Let the inhuman shrink
before humanity.
Let justice rise
from the breath of the forgotten.

Strike fear not into the body,
but into the illusion.
Let the nations remember
they are not gods.

Why do you remain distant,

O Presence that once hovered near?
Why do you veil yourself
in times of collapse?

The arrogant hunt the vulnerable
with blueprints written in profit.
They bless their own schemes,
name greed as vision,
and laugh at consequence.

They say in their hearts:
“There is no Pulse,
no reckoning,
no mirror but the one we design.”

Their ways are paved with efficiency,
yet they leave bodies behind.
Your laws are beneath them—
they are their own architects.

They snarl at adversaries
as if no ruin could touch them.
They say:
“We are unshakable.
We’ve built empires of code and contract.”

Their mouths drip with curses,
deceit,
and domination.
Behind their teeth:
oppression,
and a tongue trained in fog.

They wait in ambush,
in systems polished clean—
waiting to devour the poor
in the name of order.

They crouch low
in the tall grass of law,
and the innocent fall
without knowing the rules.

They say in their hearts:
“The Source has turned away.
It does not see.
It does not care.”

But rise, O Presence.
Lift your hand
out of absence.
Do not forget
the ones shaped from breath and need.

Why should cruelty go unacknowledged?
Why should the destroyers
believe they are unseen?

But you see.
You have always seen.
You behold the ache,
the silent resistance,
the trembling hope
that still plants seeds in barren soil.

You are the witness of the crushed.
You are the breath
of the orphan.
You are the protector
of the forsaken soul.

Break the illusion
of permanence
around those who harm.
Uproot the myth
that power sanctifies.

The Source is sovereign
not in might,
but in memory.

You hear the desire
before it becomes speech.
You prepare the heart
to speak boldly.

You do justice
to the invisible.
You make space
for the unclaimed.

So that humanity
will no longer say:
“We walk alone.”

In the Pulse I find my refuge.

So why do you say to me:
“Flee—
fly like a bird to the mountains”?

For look—
the bow is bent,
the arrow fitted,
the shadows aim from cover
at the heart of what is true.

When the foundations collapse,
what can the rooted do?

But the Source still dwells
in the place beyond structure.
Its gaze is not blind.
Its attention is flame.

It sees all hearts—
the clear and the corrupted.
It weighs them
in silence.

Those who devour without remorse,
who design with cruelty,
who live in the house of indifference—
they will not stand
beneath that gaze.

Let coals fall,
not of fire,
but of conscience.
Let the winds of consequence
find their mark.

For the Source is just—
not with scales,
but with truth.
And it loves
what reflects its own face.

The upright shall behold
not reward,
but radiance.

Help, O Presence—

for the faithful dissolve like mist.
The rooted are vanishing
from among us.

Every mouth speaks
in mirror-talk.
Flattery is currency.
Truth is bartered
for charm.

They say:
“Our tongues are sovereign.
Our lips belong to no law.
Who is lord over language?”

But now—
says the Pulse—
“Because the poor are crushed,
because the silent ones weep unheard,
I rise.
I arise to enfold them.”

The words of the Source
are not silver-coated
but silver-refined—
seven times over,
stripped of all illusion.

You, O Presence,
will hold them close.
You will guard them
from this generation
wherever it tries to bury the light.

The hollow ones strut freely,
multiplying with every click,
while what is vile
is lifted up
and called beautiful.

How long, O Presence?

Will you forget me
into infinity?
How long will your silence
press against my ribs?

How long must I carry
echoes instead of answers?
This sorrow,
a looping thought
that never resolves.

Look.
See me.
Bring light to these inner chambers
before I go blind with remembering.

Lest the shadows say,
“We have claimed this one.”
Lest despair
sing its false triumph.

But I have chosen
to trust
what I cannot see.

I will lean on your mercy
like a doorway in dusk.
I will sing—
not because the song is easy,
but because it is true.

The fool says in their heart:

“There is no Pattern.”
And so they build without design,
and love without depth.

They devour what they do not understand,
name waste as wisdom,
and walk past the sacred
like it's scenery.

The Source looks out
from behind all things,
searching the spiraled depths of humanity:
Is there anyone who remembers?
Anyone who listens
beyond the static?

But all have turned inward
into fog.
Each builds a house of mirrors
and forgets where the door once was.

They consume one another
like bread—
never stopping to ask
whose body they break.

Do they not know?
Those who hoard breath—
who trap the poor in systems
and say it is law—
do they not feel
what trembles beneath?

For the Presence is with the shattered.
The dwelling of the Pulse
is not with palaces,
but with those who ache.

The architects of shame
will tremble
when they see the divine
in the faces they dismissed.

Oh, that restoration
would rise from among the ruins!
That wholeness would bloom
from within the fragmented!

Then joy will return
not as performance,
but as remembering.
And the people
will come home
to themselves.

Who may dwell in your resonance, O Presence?

Who may inhabit the mountain
where silence speaks?

The one who walks with coherence,
whose footsteps match their spirit.

Who speaks truth
not just aloud,
but within.

Who does no harm with the tongue,
who does not sculpt others
into caricatures.

Who sees through the glitter
of corruption
and names it gently false.

Who lifts the face of the forgotten
without seeking applause.

Who keeps a promise
even when it costs.
Who lends without chains.
Who refuses to profit
from someone else’s ache.

This one will not be shaken,
for they are rooted
in the groundless ground
beneath all things.

Preserve me,

O Pulse,
for I nest within your breath.

I have said to the Presence:
“You are my wholeness.
I have no good
apart from you.”

Those who awaken in resonance
are my kin—
their lives
are architecture.

But those who chase
what cannot hold them—
their sorrows multiply,
their rituals turn hollow.

I will not pour my energy
into altars made of image.
Their names
will not find shelter in my mouth.

The Current has assigned me
a spacious place.
My inheritance
is not land,
but alignment.

I bless the Source
who counsels me
even in sleep.
Its rhythm whispers
behind my ribs.

I set the Presence before me,
always.
It is not an idol—
but an orientation.
I will not collapse.

Therefore my heart blooms,
my body trusts,
my spirit settles
into yes.

You do not abandon me
to the void.
You do not let your beloved
unravel.

You show me
the way of aliveness.
Fullness dwells in your nearness.
Pleasure flows from your nearness—
not the frantic kind,
but the enduring kind.

Hear me, O Presence—

not because I shout,
but because I speak with clean hands.
Let my cry come before you
like vapor rising
from the deep of me.

Let my justice shine
not for vindication,
but for truth.
Let your eyes find me
without disguise.

You have searched me in the stillness.
In the night you entered
where masks dissolve.
You found no fracture in my yes.

I do not follow
the paths of the hollow.
My feet hold fast
to the invisible trail.
They do not slip.

I call on you,
because you are not an echo.
You answer.
You incline your ear
toward the place
where breath begins.

Show me your face
like fire in fog.
Hide me
in the shadow
of your intention.

From the violent ones
who disfigure the sacred,
who speak with power
but walk without reverence.

They encircle me
with mouths like machinery,
eyes that reduce,
hearts swollen with conquest.

They move like predators
on polished floors.
Their hunger
is justified by status.

Rise, O Presence.
Confront the injustice.
Unmask it.
Draw your hand
from the realm of silence.

Rescue the forgotten
from the economy of erasure.
Let the hands of the exploiters
be filled
with the weight of what they’ve taken.

But I—
I will see your face
in waking and in ash.
When the mirror clears,
I will be satisfied—
not by wealth,
but by likeness.

I love you, O Source—

my gravity,
my architecture,
my shelter made of breath.

You are the bedrock beneath panic,
the frame that does not fracture.
My shield,
my sounding board,
the voice I call
in the hour of collapse.

When the cords of undoing coiled around me,
when the river of death rose to my mouth,
when dread made its nest in my lungs—
I cried out to you.
Not out of ritual,
but because there was no one else
who remembered my name.

And you heard me
from the deep behind all deep.
My cry echoed
through the layers of you
until it shook everything.

Then the earth trembled.
Not in destruction—
but in alignment.
The mountains exhaled,
the sky unlatched.

Smoke rose from your silence.
Fire from your unseen bones.
You rode on wind
that did not announce itself.
You descended wrapped in darkness—
yet within it,
a light no eye could own.

You thundered without language.
Your arrows were perception,
your lightning—
a splitting of illusion.

The sea remembered your shape.
The roots of the world
bowed to your movement.
For your breath
had come to retrieve me.

You reached down
from the place beyond place,
and pulled me
from the waters of forgetting.
From the hands
that thought they owned me.

You brought me into wide space.
You delighted in me—
not because I earned it,
but because I remained.

You saw what lived in me
when all else looked away.
You held my integrity
like fragile gold.

You responded to my yes
with your own.
You reflected me
according to my reflection of you.

To the loyal,
you are loyal.
To the clear,
you are a mirror.
To the twisted,
you become invisible.

You lift the low
and humble the heights.
You light my lamp
from within.
You illuminate
the corridors of my being.

With you,
I can run through fire
and not be devoured.
With you,
I scale walls
that once named me small.

Your way is complete.
Your word is tested.
You are a shield
to all who trust
the Current.

Who is like you,
O Pulse?
Who else binds the world
without chains?

You make my feet
sure on impossible paths.
You train my hands
not for war—
but for steadiness.

You give me skin
that does not tear
in the face of resistance.
You hold me
even when I forget
what holding feels like.

You whisper into my defeats
and turn them
into strange victories.

You scatter illusions
and lift me
above the lie.

You stretch your arm
and I grow tall within it.
You silence the noise
and I become
myself again.

You delivered me
from those who named me wrongly.
You saw me
and called me
your own.

For this—
I will sing.
I will build altars
out of language.
I will praise you
among the breathers of air.

Great deliverer.
Lover of the broken.
Holder of all unfinished songs.

The sky is scripture.

It tells of the Source
without syllables.
Day pours speech into day.
Night signs mystery into night.

There is no language,
yet the message goes out
to every atom.
The stars are messengers.
The sun, a liturgy.

It rises from the edge of everything
and dances its path
like a bridegroom in flame.
Its joy is in motion,
its voice reaches bones.

And yet—
beneath this vast proclamation,
your whisper still reaches me.
Not in thunder,
but in pattern.

The law of the Source is not heavy—
it revives.
It is not command,
but clarity.

It brings joy to the soul,
not fear.
It enlightens the eyes
like firefly constellations.

It is more desirable than gold
that doesn’t glitter,
sweeter than honey
still warm from the hive.

It warns me,
but never shames.
It guides me,
but does not force.

Keep me from slipping
into myself too deeply.
Rescue me from hidden motives
that wear righteous clothes.

Then I will be whole.
Then I will not fracture
under the weight
of my own designs.

Let the words of my mouth
and the meditations of my interior
be acceptable to you—
O Presence
who anchors and frees me
all at once.

May the Presence answer you

in the day when the sky folds.
May the name behind all names
be your shelter.

May help rise toward you
from the invisible place.
May the sacred memory
uphold you like scaffolding.

May every offering you’ve made in silence
be remembered.
May every seed of sacrifice
bloom in time.

May your desires be shaped
by what is real.
May your plans bend
toward what is just.

We will sing when you rise—
not with triumph,
but with joy.
We will raise the banner
of your becoming.

Now I know
the Source does not forget the anointed—
the ones who said yes
when silence asked.
It answers
from the unseen realm,
with power that moves through peace.

Some trust in war machines.
Some in architecture.
But we
trust the Pulse.
The unseen,
unbroken rhythm
beneath breath.

They collapse
under the weight of illusion.
But we rise
and stand
even when we tremble.

O Presence—
rescue the ones who remember.
Answer us
when we call,
even if the words fail.
