I am a Temple of free will and love creative entanglement and pale moon light.

Below is a sample of Carl Kaucher's poetry:
I am a Temple of free will and love creative entanglement and pale moon light.
I have a spiritual flashlight and extra batteries if needed.
My altar is alternative form meditated since before I was born.
Sometimes I dream of silence and pray for it's return.
Life is far simpler than I know when I let go of my self.
Drifting on an empty street I am hoping to be filled with lost.
In giving away, I am not taking.
In living my way, I am not faking.
My path abounds in the sounds of dissonance and syncopation as an alternating current spontaneously conducting me wild.
It is the energy of my awakening from which I shall construct a lifestyle of rebellion based on feedback and distortion in a spiritual contortion like noise.
I am a free spirited activist of roam and wander getting lost in the Alpha and Omega and through the prism of my style I shall wander for a while amidst the forgotten spaces to document the moments between memory and madness serenity and the still sweet compassionate chime of the sublime.
