Albatross Poems

Fishing one day in the southern ocean
The sun had risen and was shining bright
Overhead me I heard a commotion
A snowy albatross gliding in flight.

With a huge wing span he circled around
The haul on my deck had caught his keen eye

Such a delighter!

and the way her whole being glows,

 Salvation Was Prepaid
Written: by Miracle Man

Gods judgment requires,
that for misdeeds someone pay.
Salvation has been prepaid,
for those who seek it today.

When we accept this free gift,
we’re no longer convicted.
By shifting our guilt to Jesus,
we ceased being afflicted.

God accepted Jesus’ payment,

A rabbit’s foot, auspicious
an albatross for sailors
or China’s magic bamboo
all signify a windfall -
immigrant’s wish

in trust of what is God’s will
a cross is worn by many
to show faith in a Savior  -

Favors shown, sorry mishaps
for mortals lacking foodstuff...Read More

Within the shadow of a broken heart
Passages of the sorrowful tuned harp
Pacify the lonesome wretched struggle
Of the weary, drained despots who juggle.

The distant storm draws nigh, the albatross
Leads, lightning shines the wayward, their due course.
Avarice game of chance, search for...Read More

At any proffered instant, implies love.
Love stays consistent midst souls synergy.
Offerings concerning depth, flights a dove.
Heightens promptly per blazon glittery,
Albatross compensation inwardly.

Avarice charms enlighten, not consume,
Lure some timeless, tempestuous heirloom.
Wherein, the victor and victim cite one,
Abreast wants, vies will and...Read More

Regret is the luxury 
Which we can ill afford
Of memory’s gilded albatross
Encrusted with jewels
Of sorrow and pain
Draped around our necks 
To mock our joys 
With guilt and shame.

Why must you always stay 
Tethered to me?
You keep creeping behind me
Continually tugging at my sleeve
When will you leave me be, at last?
I try to forget wrongs I never made right
I try to make peace 
With missed opportunities
Choices I wish...Read More

Spelled exactly alike 
But totally different meanings

Words like Boil

Blue – a feeling or a color?

Crest. 
A toothpaste? a hill or a rooster’s feathers?

Engagement with thwarted life in existential primal crisis
searches experiential solution in life’s nebulous narrative.
With purgation of edgy emotions and clasping catharsis
hears the whispers of the inner invite of the divine ecstasy.

Cohesive complex sense of self, the crafted chronicle
epitomizing the dubious...Read More

plowing ahead she rises to the occasional
pique of future flowing moments unfurling from
the pages of the book stuck together like morning
eyelashes fluttering, no cause necessary, just practicing
push pull not the same as yes or no...paralyzed in some
moments along the river...Read More

Your Spirit Lives


Oh, Notre Dame, sad days have come-
   that beast of fire's swift momentum,
brought down your sacred decorum-
   but not your heart of Christendom.

Fire does not care- treasure or not,

“It Is Finished”
Written: by Miracle Man
3-19-2019

Predestined to atone HE was given extreme unction,
And in the shadow of the cross HE was draped.
Jesus was a sacrifice, Virgin born, for this function,
HE became restitution for the sins we escaped.

Divine love, unparalleled, kept...Read More

I have gotten the deepest meaning of 
Your pronounced words, 
Now then, remove your veil of gray silence,
Whisper to me or scream at me! 
I am longing to hear all your words—
Secret or revealed,
Not so long ago we jostled the...Read More

Immeasurable maturation profoundly
transformed thy Shana Punim
within whose corporeal femininity
gravitas resonates and doth hum
whose unbelievable transition, now
follows the beat of her own drum

daughter didst squawk and crow
aforementioned fledging eagerly,
instinctively, and naturally clamoring ergo

Breaking  the surface with someone new
For once, breathing the sweet breeze,
You’re happy.
I have to remind myself that this happened in my absence
To avert myself from pulling you back under
Selfishly to comfort my ego and what remains of a shell
Back...Read More

Affliction with comprehension,

A dead man’s boat
rowed itself from isle to isle,
dragging its dead man in its wake,
partially submerged, their tether tenuous,
yet somehow never broken.
Past The Isle Of Reeds,
where the slaves had been freed
from the crack of their master’s whip,
and their master, with...Read More

A cruise sails into blueness of a vast bosom, open,
at thirty thousand feet, gossamer clouds in motion.
Gliding underneath, on wings of albatross in ocean,
airplane whooshes high from a world of commotion.

Busy on laptop, client meetings, urgent at eleven.
Leave of five...Read More

Trump With No One

And is never fair.

And even though might exist another albatross;
Even if being odd,
Still made by God; 
Many waves passed...Read More

Albatross

An effortless flight with barely a wing beat,
following ships for hours to eat.
They love the windy swept sea,
diving deep with glee.
Protection,
key
direction.
Stop spilled oil at sea!
I send the whole world a plea,
the fishing nets dragging, trap their feet.
