Afghanistan is the place to go Lapis Lazuli is brought out in buckets Her blues shining in the sun Healing me in spite of myself A stone that boots your immune system sooths inflammation, alleviates insomnia overcomes depression and purifies your blood I should have brought some relatives with me for this I go down deep into the cave, swallowing my fear understanding the...

BODY AILS … YET SPIRIT SOARS You’d think I’d rattle when I walk, I’ve pills of this and that. Some make me feel even sicker, others warned … make me fat. Take “Viagra” for rare PH, Lung-Heart rare illness pill. Several for other organs, fact one-third kidney’s … no thrill. If, drink more water for kidney, Heart Failure might affect. Most minds tell folks, “breath”,...

A thousand miles these feet had and still taking, with one step in front of the other since birth awakened. Wisdom in each loose silver strand as if each breath of whispers were planned. Once in a while these eyes had seen Miracles as years went, were treasured, and gleaned. Flaming sunset brought sore...

Body ails yet spirit soars indeed For this, I pray that God grants my need So I can continue reaching-out Midst weakness-doubt and sickness-pout. With human nature’s flaw, causing pain My flesh succumbs to grief; I complain Then seek for heavenly help, divine* For my heart's shield from frustration-whine. Driving my spirit for triumph glow The Lord I trust against trials’ blow For me...

Body Ails Yet Spirit Soars
She’s gradually becoming a shadow, Yet she looks beyond the shrivelled meadow, She’s gradually walking into the night, Yet she summons the light. She rises with the morning, She says the bed calls for mourning, Though her body ails, Her hope sails. At dawn, she summons the elements, As can be seen in her statements, She stands tall on the inside, Even though she’s feeble outside....

Great our blessings throughout life, Odd thoughts we have about the meaning Don’t we have sorrow, sometimes strife Sent us by a perfect being. Will our faith withstand the moment Illness sometimes tests us most Leave to others doubt to foment Let us simply trust the Host. Believe in Him, He’s always with us, Even when the path looks bleak. Don’t disparage of his goodness Only...

the little engine that could, as they say. he's the tortoise that won the race, despite not coming in first, second, or third. he won hearts because he completed the long, grueling race. many naysayers thought he couldn't do it. they scoffed at his advanced age and bad knee. they thought he'd give in mid-race,...

Freezing in the midst of hostile ice monsoon triggering aching woes beneath blood and bones, I search for a quilt woven in sanguine rune silken feathers of clementine and gold tones- body ails, yet spirit soars, sings to the moon, beyond clouds obscured in kohl sleets of hailstones whilst rhapsodies of nature serve light to calm- scattered scars in the air, like...

Frailty and aging are flaws in bodies of mankind Viral afflictions are infectious and pose grave danger Death from new diseases instantly come to mind making us wary of shaking hands with a stranger Toxins float in the air and swim in waters we drink No longer is it just the elderly that succumb Reasons why the world faces chaos on...

Body Ails Yet Spirit Soars
The room is filled with sweat and sounds of heavy breaths, heaved by shivering lungs. Every muscle of the body aches and whimpers buried in exhaustion, drowned in sweat. But where there is a will, there’s always a way. This stubborn heart is strong enough to carry me up onto the stage. To carry this trophy of heavy gold, embedded with jewels that I could never own. Clasping tight - as...

The languishing life with future tentative in tormenting time, writhes in its crushing clutch of stifling suffering, the bearing of the being breaks and bleeds in pining pain, finds the stretch of no solacing arms to dedicatedly grasp. As the boat wrecks in the tempest of toiling agony, the marooned mariner seeks shelter in the shore not in sight, someone...

Body ails, yet spirit soars to see Mother Nature’s beauty that surrounds us all. I feel thankful just to be in a place where nature’s spell abounds. Yes, a magic spell I am under - as I view many mountains everywhere. At trees ablaze I gaze in wonder in the freshness of the autumn air. Though in pain, I must show gratitude for friends,...

Fate mastered me, captained my soul And Ruby took her love to town. I rage amid the noise and haste, but I dont let it get me down. My mind, it is not a kingdom. My 'Hope’ plucked all its feathers out. I could not hold fast to my dreams, but my love, it knows no doubt. Uplifting verse, it let me down. The...
