Ghost Writing Series: Foolish Heart

This piece was written through the lens of blind writing—a practice I engaged in during my younger years, allowing words to flow freely without conscious interference. It emerges from a place of deep channeling, where imagery, emotion, and subconscious come together. I have hundreds of pages of material waiting to see the light of day. This one was written on January 23, 2002.

“Foolish Heart” reflects the inner conflict between hope, illusion and love—the moment when longing distorts clarity and we find ourselves tempted by reflections rather than truth. It explores how easily we can follow our own shadows when emotion grows louder than reason.
Hope you enjoy it.

2002 Foolish heart,

The destroyer has entered your chamber.

Time passes slowly like that of a frozen river.

Each bend and twist reacts with a crushing effect upon your senses,

Waiting for the earth to warm.

Bemused by each hopeful cry,

The vision of your loss begins to clear.

The shiny hope of a single possibility glimmers like a piece of broken metal dangling in the sun.

Back and forth,

The reflection blinds my senses,

Creating a judgment based on noise.

Loud and piercing,

The temptation supersedes my reason.

I follow my shadow's lead.

Reviews

thank you very much 🩵🙏🩵

Joe, gratitude for sharing this profound insight. Your words evoked a memory; by following the guidance of my shadow, decending into the deep, dark depths of my foolish heart, I ponder and choose to either remain in darkness or gaze upwards and decide to walk towards the glimmer of Light that is always there. 🙂🙏

You need to write a book!📕

Absolutely perfect.
