"This"
is everything
appearing~including
the assumption that
separation is
true and obvious~~
wicked wiliness
laughs in wizards wacky mind
wise to keep silent
hes just an old man
probably no threat in the least
assumption so wrong
If you've a yen
(it's not zen)
you may bet your bottom dollar
while integrating yin yang cosmology
Chinese philosopher and scholar
Dong Zhongshu
(good old you know who)
favoured heaven worship results
over and above traditional cults
altho' a man well-read
he often wrote instead
yet to avoid confusion
knowingly said, 'Jump to assumption,
arrive wrong conclusion.'
Preserved from original sin by grace given by God,
In preparation for what she would do.
She lived to give the Father all glory praise and laud,
And in her loving care the Christ Child lived and grew.
She maintained her faith in Him even to the cross,
Always pointing out to us the Way.
Through her joys and sorrows, her glories and her loss,
We see an example of how to live each day.
The little handmaid of the Lord, great things are done for her,
So, we lay our worries by her side.
In her intercession, our confidence is sure.
For she points us to God, she is our certain guide.
Finally, the Virgin, preserved from every sin,
When the course of her earthly life was done,
Was taken into heaven, assumed body and soul,
That she might be conformed even closer to her Son.
They be;
"Steadily assuming"
Thinking what you're not
Their perception
A reflection of them
They're always assuming
From we pass and what they heard.
Your looks,
"Sometimes don't define you"
What you see sometimes
Might be deceiving
People do disguise.
Your pains
Some people's gains
Steadily want to tame or shame you.
They want to know our wonders
So we always
Keep them wandering
Walking around
Asking about our stories
Assumption, our injection
For people not minding their business.
whims may become a blessing or a curse
pushing one toward certain ruin or worse
drinking from the deep well of evasion
well versed in dark practices of persuasion
fixating on dreams of what ought to be
avoiding what mirrors reality
totally free of social encumbrances
in spite of what the best assumption is
wandering through this life oblivious
hiding from anything too obvious
urge to be free of all expectation
jumped right into without hesitation
do not question need to swallow it whole
subtle art of self-induced mind control
Cold Kiss And Silent Goodbye
Fall blindly in love and plunge deep into a firestorm of intricately weaved
pattern of uncertainty
Mask feelings with transgressions and feel the weight of trust shatter the
matrimony of spiritual unity
Fail every obligation with deceptions and morph as the destroyer of each
dream blinding an optimistic eye
Assume possession of the healing light and see frigid lips caress a selfish
heart with cold kiss and silent goodbye

Aboard cruise liner:
Sovereign of the Seas
with great reliance
is accuracy of science
no coincidence
basic assumption
priest was full of much gumption
also compunction
water was flowing
all my flowers are growing
grass may need mowing
Trump surely was scared
found out that he is impaired
less he always cared
Assumptions
David J Walker
The days of emptiness
Were words I could not speak
Dreams that had no depth
Death that could not wind
Nor bind the time
Around the mantel clock
Lost restless sleep
While
The pendulum has peaked
And reached its furthest view
Tomorrow's paradigm was seen
In twilights past the in-between
Exposing what is new
Assuming it is true
assumption
assumption births the mother of all screw ups pause to change to plan B
Calling obsessions
Delivering impressions
Painted murals
Blanket views
Hearing directions
Leaving detections
Speech is deserving
Voice unnerving
Payment due
Blanket view

The Immaculate Virgin
Preserved free from all stain of original sin
The course of her earthly life is finished
Was taken up body and soul to heavenly glory
Exalted by the Lord as Queen over all things
So that, she might be more fully more conformed to her son
The Lord of lords
Conqueror
Sin
Death
The Assumption of the Blessed Virgin

Assumption With Much Gumption
What I already made was an assumption;
When I had gathered up much gumption;
My mind expanded,
And I safely landed;
More of my poems increased consumption.
Jim Horn
This is a anecdote about not taking things for granted....
Seeing how we often jump to conclusions based on wrong assumptions...
A top notched news photographer was in a mighty hurry...
He saw a plane on the taxiway, pilot in place and take off all ready...
He jumped quickly into the plane and commanded the pilot to take off and start flying....
Shortly after, he asked the pilot to make a turn to over where a forest fire was raging..
There was a moment's hesistation before the pilot queried why...
Pompously, the newsman replied he was a news reporter, that was why...
There was a another moment of silence, longer than the earlier momentary hesitation...
Then a quavering voice from the pilot, "You are not my new flight instructor?"... ..
Don't simply assume or jump to conclusions...
It can bring forth dire consequences...
Have a nice day, people!

What is your final destination?
I'm pretty sure you don't even know
Why is there a need to correct people in your assumption?
Is it because you can no more walk your assumed role?
They who can no longer complete their story
Why do they expect you to...
Not only to reason but to reprimand in theory
Did I not listen to the wiser fools?
It takes an age to command in a way
But causes we know doesn't mean we know a 'now'
It takes ages to stubbornly stay
A tide to a wave, a smile to the grave cannot unbound
My life is over when I think about love
But my achievements in wisdom brings my words
Are we all worthy enough to be worth?
Are we worthy enough for our words to one day be heard?
I'm absolutely sure I'm never to know
That faithful day whence claim my final destination
To have walked the path to numerous assumed roles
Will I one day understand my esteem assumption?
