Awaken the serpent that lies coiled
at the bottom of your spine. You must!
Transformation cannot happen if
you let your energy turn into dust.
Meditate or chant, and take a breath.
Life’s meaning and your purpose you can see
more clearly when your self-awareness grows.
Enjoy more creativity and spirituality.
Divine is Kundalini energy;
it’s something that all faithful souls can know.
The spirit CAN be touched; the choice is yours.
You simply must allow for it to grow.

The chaos in my heart
Won’t allow for anything less
Than feeling love amplified
Heightened, magnified, buzzing
Intensity to the extreme
To care for is to cherish
To want is to yearn for
To miss is to crave
I don’t love, I consume
I encapsulate and devour
I envelope and obsess
My soul cannot bear the thought
Of living without love

Many fell asleep.
They slept while many were killed in factories of death.
This allowed for others to take over all of the land.
The system was working, and many worked to death, leaving no time to love and rest.
They fell asleep, under the plan to kill and replace all they can.
They wanted to rule all of the land.
They had a plan to kill and cause pain.
This would allow for them to achieve their plan.
Others are afraid to speak or take a stand.

Denmark
What a sweet little country, it's national
anthem reflects his kindness when the German army
marched in 1940, there was no resistance
hence, not one life was lost
the old king continued to ride his horse in the park
Denmark was pressured into, joining NATO as Norway did 57 years ago, the Danes know which side a slice of the loaf has the butter,
while paying obedience
to the real power, America, they continued
to make Denmark a sweet country
Something unforeseen happened, the war in Ukraine
as NATO members they sent two planes there
only two as the budget would not allow for more
but their merchant fleet is vital in carrying the USA
products
apart from this, the Danes know it is a small
country, to maintain a high standard of living
they have aligned themselves to a greater power
But her charm was not lost

Some days are like a bowl of cherries
Some day are like the pits
Today started out like a winner for sure
Then quickly turned ugly bit by bit
Frustration is surely part of the scene
As we age, we are much less tolerant
Set in our ways, we are unable to bend
Probably need a brain transplant
Tomorrow is always another day
With its own set of highs and lows
It's own set of frustrations and triumphs
Not everything is in our control
Bendability is an excellent word
That encompasses what I'm saying
To allow for things out of our control
And still enjoy life's game we're playing
Bottom line is accept each day as it comes
Each one is another day blessed

Allow the rain
Hunt for berries
Echoes cast our shadows
Accept the start
Deduce the summer nights
Lemon scented mead
Initiate the Eclipse
Escape the Bunker
Silver snow storms with warm shelter
Protect the youth
Educate society in past innovations
Allow for Patience and Understanding
Create solutions to advance Humanity
Erect monuments to recognize Greatness

( First verse, 6 lines taken from my poem Ache, written 02/25/2023)
Ache, ache, aching is my soul for those whose,
breathing pulse is no more;
coffin closed their bones decay to dust,
death, oh death you are a thief that comes creeping.
Each night my memories drift, drift, and my;
fathomless tears could fill oceans.
It is said that time heals grief, well I am not sure,
but it does allow for acceptance;
their bones decay but their spirits live,
they exist within my heart and I carry them everywhere.
Each memory is a treasure I hold close;
tears are no more but my love is fathomless.

I crawled and stayed low as I could,
Wanted to be punished for being anything but good. No boundaries in place before I took a walk around the world complete in a block,
Never knew that being human meant being entitled to make mistakes and being a Christian meant worthy of asking forgiveness and sneaking a peak at the people you pass when you are walking isn't too much pride. I deserved everything I got that made me feel like , being a pathetic introvert just gave me the excuse to allow for my eccentricities. Flawed in more ways then one yet unable to pin point the most debilitating one, I chose being trapped in the body of some fat, frumpy whiter then white ill proportioned gal with an akward pigeon toed walk, unsure stare and a damaged heart left to stew in misery. I truly love harder then anyone I've seen...but I never say a w ok rd about it...just hope that someone feels it.

The cities are all unraveling,
Dirty air floats in our lungs,
Broken glass,
Shattered signs.
Only hollow buildings,
Without any lives.
Standing on fallow ground,
Deer bounding all around.
They do a dip in the muddy park pool,
A little mud keeps the flies away.
Perhaps we will do that one day,
And look to see what edible plants are left alive.
Possibly allow the earth to thrive.
We have forgotten our early lessons.
Now it's time to begin again.
To have a conversation with all that surrounds,
Listening carefully to each and every sound.
Maybe mother nature will rebound,
Allow for just a few people to be around.

Dreams make up our society
Giving us anxiety
When the last hope becomes a lie
Children are told to believe they can fly
But in the end, what wins is reality
No use for a penalty
Being told to grow up is worth a sigh
If only to allow for one more cry
Sombody makes you a priority
But it becomes so ordinary for people to say goodbye,
And no longer come by.

...I remember when it was SOMETHING.
A Lesson OR Blessing, actually BOTH.
Is blood thicker than water? Not if bad blood has formed. Was it always tainted, beneath the naked eye of a surface picture painted?
Life's moments are so fleeting...
I can't imagine partaking in unnourishing concepts and allow for the mere sake of repeating. Wouldn't that be defeating???
There's nothing can be gained, once all
GOOD energy has been drained! It can't be "returned or renamed" Retrospectively, concepts can't sustain "ideals" electively.
No fairy dust. No holiday or every blue moon so called trust...sadly there's rust.
I choose to blow it away with breath & depth protected inlay; can't allow nothing to delay, deter, "stir" my peace, for a piece of me...my heart, that part, that is my Core and Soul OFF LIMITS.
It wasn't Always like that, but Splat...
when remembering, I GAVE and thoughtfully.
Release to allow Peace.
Something had to Cease...
Now, I Am SAVED.
SELF-LOVE INCREASED!

Some Choices We Regret
Written: by Miracle Man
2/5/2023
Sometimes in life we will make bad choices,
while believing that some have no escape.
During waning years comes to us voices,
saying, “time don’t allow for life reshape”.
Certain choices we’d thought were forever,
so with mental distress we’re now beset.
Being late in life, one choice we won’t sever,
so declining years contain much regret.
So we spend many hours backward browsing,
searching for a time that might give us hope.
Both were not given to same idea espousing,
so in sorrow we now cling to a knotless rope.

saphire blue , eyes that capture , eyes that captivate , a love struck trance , breathes life into an open yet vacant heart , they sear and tattoo the mind with the absolution of complete emmenance of adoring love .
shine like precious gems to be sure , sending an invitation into heaven ,an invitation into euphoria ,bliss, and tranquility , a universe onto its own into forever they fill the spaces in between spaces , the soul is now blessed.
ever so deep are these windows into life, they allow for true escape , undivided attention is never lost , an ocean of peace and caring dance in there glistening shine , wisdom and whimsy with a touch of playfulness is the mark left in the heart.
romance and passion is sure to be found in such an island of pleasure , soft and tender , cautious , and courageous , dreamy and kind , to look away , dare not , these eyes , now take the journey to an escalade of new heights , could this really be, not a dream and no wishes needed.
