Gods of Men
Uniquely crafted
with the world in focus
Altered scripts
broken-off ancients scrolls
Erecting structures
in a malleable world
Setting hearts on fire
testing souls with trials
Romancing the sundial
allotting time, as we
usher in a new era
With each revolving door
usurping gods as men
Selling lives for less
Not for nothing
does the light prick my eyes,
a thirst for walking shoes
tightens ankle bones
that parachute out of an inner attic
landing awkwardly into the open throats
of sneakers
still clutching their tendons.
Out from under a dim tented roof
the world is overrun with Asterix's
small confusing marks
that suggest footnotes and disclaimers,
warnings that you should not
take anything as actually actual.
Seriously sober, * I ditch the thought
of turning back,
now the landscape is tripping,
trees are hugging small birds tenderly.
Owls are tugging at dark clouds
moving them through
bright windows of sky.
The world has become a child's coloring book.
It is truly amazing how some mornings*
will keep you insane for a short while
allotting you just enough time
to recall, that you are not yet verified,
that you're n Asterix,
a disclaimer.
never dotting half-open eyes,
never declaring your fixed reality
because
the world keeps editing its meaning,
there are always more footnotes to add. *
Dawn breaks through the darkened night
exhaling beams of sprinkled light
across dense blankets of snowy white.
Naked, bony limbs start snapping
reaching arms upward while napping
allotting chilled moss to lay wrapping.
Frosted crystalline water awaiting
the ice-kissed surroundings, while creating
melancholy moans of biting wind deflating.
Craggy hilltops bordering, in sharp peaks,
glistening barren landscapes in streaks
as relentless Winter hibernation bespeaks.
T-H-A-N-K-S : (PENTACROSTIC)
====================
Transparent tribute tweets to truth
Hearty hug harmonizes high helpmate
Adorable affection aids allotting amity
Noble note nominates new nimbus
Kind kinship kindles kingly kismet
Sustaining superior soul shining self

Serving-
Not only in this disaster but always
Can serve all if desired,
Not beating drum for donating; silently
Need to be good minded
Good mind is not the God of far sky
Donation of aid is not fixed in the ledger book
by the angel of lightened throne
Full of humane good manners may be true helper
For good characters
No need to be a theist,
No need to be a good learner of the heavenly books,
Just need pure conscience of humanity
For praiseworthy swerving to country and peoples
No need to be a leader or ministry,
By allotting the excess anything of self necessary can serve the all
If services to human is the worshiping God
Then must be a holder of true humane conscience;
No need to be a theist, spiritual man, educated leader....

months, year, decades in the making..
this may how a love story develops..
sometimes, the girl or guy next to us..
maybe the person of whom we have been waiting for..
frequently and fervently, we pray to God..
that He may let us meet face-to-face him or her..
but, have we also ask ourselves?
If we are doing our part?
blessed are those who accepted the feeling..
with that in one way or another did something..
placing every ounce of effort ..
allotting not just time but the all self..
verbally too easy to say the words..
yet, notionally so hard to demonstrate..
love relationships are put on trials and tests..
at these times, persons involve will willingly work..
whether to stand by what it is..
or turn back and give up..
