I sit in my room far away from the banks I notice a beautiful dragon fly landing on a reed The glossy delicate wings and a hard shelled back Slick to the touch, cool to the feel, alive Water gently moving in ebbs and flows Cool lush growth near the river’s edge Sun reflecting across the rippling water So far way from my room high in the city Over the river, I hear a bird, wind rushing by High in the sky, alone flies a beautiful bird of prey Lazily looking for food, drifting with the wind Such a far distance from my room in the city Outside my room is the world, the sun shinning hot I can feel the heat on the brick, the smell of dry mortar An insect buzzing, motors running, people talking So far below my room high in the city To enhance the moment of perception A quick feel of deep space, far above the atmosphere No sound, no motion, such a great view of Earth So far above my body in my room in the city I reach out with my hand, the river’s too far I smell with my nose, the air conditioning stifles smell I look with my eyes, the walls and distance block the view The body is barricaded inside my room high in the city My perceptions fly high and far, keener than the body’s Perceptions not blocked by time and space, Perceptions blocked only by unawareness Outside the body, freedom is mine. Sensations abound The river, the brick, deep space, all mine to taste. The body is still in my room high in the city. I fly free, enjoying life, sights and sounds Such freedom and wonderful sensations when free of a body I know I’m not my body, locked in my room high in the city Earth is my play ground of grandeur and magnitude Free to be perceived and enjoyed because I am free The body is nothing without me. I have the personality, the perceptions The body is just a shell, I am free to perceive Nothing is barred from me, no sensation can be denied I am free to create, move, perceive and enjoy life.

Since the dawn of time the artist, the writer, the poet, the painter, all have been portraying the spirit as something evil,
something to be disdained. I disagree. My poems are not about the wonders and beauties of bodies but about the
wonders and beauties of man, the immortal spirit of man. Carl the Poet
