Ahead Poems

GO AHEAD--MAKE MY DAY

GO AHEAD, MAKE MY DAY!*
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There once was a squirrel named Clint,
who lived in tree branches in Eastwood near Flint. 
     With an armored tank near,
     he ruled without fear,
for in Eastwood, with his reign Clint was content.

The rabbits did quake in their burrows,
while Clint fired acorns like

PONDERING LABORING DAYS AHEAD

PONDERING LABORING DAYS AHEAD

In the laboring days ahead,
Dawning with continuous trials,
And subsequent tribulations,
Let’s not be like sheep
In a slaughtering pen;
Rather, let’s be as lambs
In the garden of God:- 

Armed with faith and hope,
And God’s divine guidance,
Let us, as the Psalms remind us,
Journey onwards to overcoming:
“Defending truth, humility, and justice”:-
For indeed, our God is a God

balter down a road
I see why I was the one in silent mode
Who else understands the unseen? Why does it have to be me?
What qualities can I share?
Someone wants my expertise?!
I want to try, even look into the other side
just a peek...
Even Jung once said that we need to look inside our darkness
to understand the

Unknow Road Ahead

Unknown Road Ahead 
With no guidance ahead 
Eyes aligned with strong mountains 
Flows with current  
Remain skeptical toward a bleak future 
Vacant thoughts veer unknown 
Curious rhythms sways forward 
Linger mist winding paths 
Stumbling blocks engraved havoc 
With stubbornness, take a risk 
Unknown road ahead 
Hulk out with braveness 
Rhythm echoes with boldness 
Criticism

The Road Ahead

     A gaslit street
       of cobblestone

     The horse-drawn carriage
       faintly moans

     A snowstorm quickens
       the traveler groans

     The road ahead
 

Beware The Gate Ahead

“Hey, look there Jim” the young girl said
“What is this old gate up ahead?
Now do you think we should go through.
I’m really game if you will too.”

We’ll have to clear these sticks away
and find the latch - what’s that you say?
You don’t think we should touch the gate?
What lies beyond might not be great?

Oh, come

PEEKING AHEAD

For dinner we are going to the popular ‘Stars’
Restaurant, we have booked some years ago,
We also booked to see the famous show,
We don’t know if the actors are
From the human race or from the
Growing robotic generation, but it’s
Comedy, so it should be fun.

The menu is somewhat different,
Green, pink, purple, red and blue
Veggies, no protein allowed

A Squirrel Plans Ahead

Winter comes.
Cold wind numbs
and cuts.  

I am furry,
in a hurry.
See me scurry.
How I worry.
So, I bury
a nut. 

FORGE AHEAD

 FORGE AHEAD

Forge ahead, spines are steel
anger, tragedy, treachery heal
betrayal merely a step on ladders
Golden Age arises, Kali Age passes 
fragrant oysters in Bloomsbury Blue
manifesting pearls for specific rings
bring garlands, soulfully sing

Dark was the night
facing polished daggers, fists tight
Herculean shoulders held mirrors 
seeing shadows in hot quivers
they were mere simulation games 
for false egoic fame

Enmeshed

Stepping Ahead After Divorce

Divorcing self from awful negatives
I step ahead, bouncing through God’s power
Gladly inspired with cheerful directives
To share love's bliss and peace of grace-shower.

Triumphing against selfishness-trial
Freeing from “me-I-mine” so prison-bound
To reach-out for others, sans betrayal 
My heart sows goodness seeds on kindness-ground.

Persisting against vain personal gain
I join with fellows midst blest partnership
Prevailing against separation-pain
Creating new vibrant relationship.

Staying One Stop Ahead

Cool
grandson
is unmoved
by convention.
Place has no value
except as it connects
to young imagination.
My elf ladders are not missing;
Spiderman and Robin need a bridge
to cross the creek that runs under 'Cool's' bed.

There are no buildings there to climb upon.
One busy mind fixated on need
ingenuity moves forward.
He is now outside; I see
my garden hose inside
arched thru a window.
One speedy

A Few More Miles Ahead of Time

I often wonder if it’s worth the effort 
with a keyboard or paper and pen
to pour out my thoughts, heart, mind and soul
from the ocean and rivers within   

The marrow in my bones 
hidden deep within these veins
“This universe is a miracle,” 
I’ve heard Einstein once proclaimed

Though admittedly, I’m not near his kind
(far

Life's Empty Vase

A world in a race of fast pace,
Busy achieving a face,
Chasing hard but unaware of the end's trace,
Death inevitable, life—an empty vase,
Maybe life was meant to live, not to waste.

TO THE TASK AHEAD FOR OUR WRITERS

TO THE TASK AHEAD FOR OUR WRITERS

No one can write our story but us;
His story merely footnotes us:-
In the culture of the penned word,
We must personally ink ourstory;
Footnoting history’s keloid pains:-

In doing so, the rules must be ours
As opposed to those of anglophobia:-
In our midst, do we not have
Our own Prophets, Scribes, and Seers?
Do we

Looking Ahead

L?OOKING AHEAD

Time is but a twinkle,

In this cosmic dance.

Keeping this trance,

Fixed in motion.

Ponder this notion.

Past was then,

Fast Forward to the future,

Somewhere in the middle,

You tripped a little.

Don't let the moment pass,


Remember right NOW,

The gift God is giving

Open up your present,

And let's start living.
