And everywhere
My home is with the open road
And the setting sun
On the horizon of the Pacific

OF LIFE AND DEATH TODAY: A 5-7-5-7-7-7-5-7-5-7 FLOW
OF LIFE AND DEATH TODAY: A 5-7-5-7-7-7-5-7-5-7 FLOW
(Apropos Of An Ironic Juxtaposed Reality)
Ironically,
it’s cheaper to live than die:
Save, self-cremation:-
Even then, you must pay for
The ashes to be cleaned up:-
And don’t forget, the family
Is charged to pay off all debts
That you may have left behind:-
Ironically,
We are born to live and die,
Life, being cheaper:
Funerals are expensive!

The Masnavi of Giti and Saeed - Part 6, 7 and 8
Part Six — The Story Begins
The tale begins, as poets say,
Of lovers two who found their way.
That radiant child, so young and fair,
A cypress tall with flowing hair.
The envy of all idols bright,
With beauty born to charm the sight.
Wherever she would softly tread,
A thousand hearts behind her fled.
That idol—when her veil was drawn,
The pride of

Cleanse Ourselves To Holiness Fearing The Living God - 2 Corinthians 7:1
The Apostle Paul speaks here earnestly
of the importance to be cleansed
from every defilement of sin
clearing the dirt through our spiritual lens
This cleansing comes in God's power
through his divine merciful grace
praying in and through His Holy Spirit
telling of His love in constant praise
Holiness is so important to God
as scripture tells He's triple holy
proclaiming His pure godly

PSALM 121:7
PSALM 121:7
So shall He our Father preserve
Everything for you well being, your soul

Every time all time Gods protects you
Give him praise

You from all evil
He shall preserve

7 B's Of Summer
Spring is sprawling
out there somewhere
in a Bikini on a Beach
drinking Beer
toes in the sand
glass in hand
while snowflakes are falling
and winter's still here
then when good old
sunny summer comes
(and swallows do too)
oh to go Barefoot
in a Boat on the sea
Barbecue in the garden
play Ball in the park
fun in the sun 'til evening twilight
lowers the night a curtain
...

Because

Samsara - May 7
Now quiet, settled, easy, leisurely
through life’s affairs,—say, couched in everyday—
and sipping being’s sweetest, freshest ray;
Sunshine!, Sunshine! ‘midst winter’s coldest glee!
Now troubled, disjointed, uneasily
fumbling, scrambling through dumb frowning time.—Gray-
-haired night’s murk weighs down gay light’s mirth filled play...—
tumbling through summer’s scorching cruelty!
An inescapable alternation
of gloom and cheer,(to be—and—not to be),
wheeling circles and cycles—infernal,—
recur, relapse, return
...

7 WONDERS OF THE WORLD
I wonder if death knows he happened
Or if love learnt she's perfect
Or if men know they are nothing
And for women something about being satisfied
If God knows I am hurting
Or life, because I am never happy
I wonder for what being alive is
