Home Sweet home was our most safe haven,
Only shelter when I was just a kid and minor.
Mom-Dad were there to bear each responsibility
Enjoyed with my siblings at every step of childhood.
Simple pleasures, simple disputes awoke in our home.
Wonderful sharing of sister of my heart to take care.
Excited days settled at night with worry-less sound sleep
Events occurred in sorrow or gay, but to assure,
Top secret of entire peace lay in our sweet home.
Home Sweet Home is now my holy sacred heaven.
On love and care I have erected my home as ideal one.
Mind gets real relief in each distress, dismay and agony
Enchanted days settle at night in perfect profound peace.
Killing with kindness from a dark place
Improvising love forcing a smile on face
Needling white words meant to assure
Greetings heard but not felt not pure
Onyx heart that never skips a beat
From missing spark of love not tenderly
Tears hide behind white winged words
Even narcissist fake kind to be heard
Raping spirits of the blue beautiful ones
Raging you fear it the love of gold sun
Only yesterday gives you any jaded joy
Remembering the good filling a void
Salty as kiss of abyss meant to destroy
Line of inquiry:
“a heartbeat pulsating as living light
free from each and every limitation
I Am that dwelling in unbound delight
the source wherefrom arises creation”
I am that I am, and for sure
I am blessed with a heart that needs
to share my gifts, as to assure
God's light exists in all my deeds.
That light inspires me to fuse
whatever way I can to say,
most often thought of as my muse,
the visions that my thoughts portray.
Creation stirs from special light
and steers the soul and heart to act
and from this source comes inner sight
how inspiration will extract.
And, so my words pay homage to
the source of light that turns my mind
to image life in ways that do
profess the gifts I've been assigned.
Hi there, my young friend
I want to give you some advice
to assure you on your given path
The Lord has it planned, real precise
I've travelled this road many years
had some hard knocks on the way
but take heart, you will get there
no matter the struggles, walk on each day
Your stammer is a real bind
I know I had it too all my years
even now it can be a real pain
but don't let it bring you to tears
Be content with all your lot
learn to accept it as your own
trust God for He knows best
He'll take you over every painful stone
Even when alone, take courage to speak
ignore all that are against you
their problem is bigger than yours
learn from me, as all I've said is true
(The story behind this piece is my advice now, in my 70s, to my younger self some 50-odd years ago.)

Words don’t fall from trees
Like leaves in Autumn do
Instead, words are deeply embedded in each leaf
And the trunk and branches, just to say a few.
Words left unsaid resonates in a frequency
Unbeknownst except for those that hear the clue.
Words don’t fall from trees
But, are heard from a selected few
Listening for a word or two as birch wood branches shake off a leaf or two.
Hearing trees call ruffles birds out of their nests
Under the heavenly canopy of which binds us, so true!
Trees communicating under the sky shaded blue
Rest assure one day you will hear them too!
Cancer one will feel
It is an illness for real
Many have gotten Cancer
Patients themselves don’t have the answer
Doctor’s researched have done their best
Time after time and year after year
Patients succumb through the pain
Overcoming being strong the aim
It can be a rough ordeal
The key is knowing there is hope
Survival in cope
Cancer Survivals
Should encourage the ones going through Cancer
Let your testimony be ones Cancer fight
Don’t take it light
Victory is closer than you think
Faith will help you to be triumphant
Don’t think finale, but assure survival
Let your cancer victories to come in ringing of the bell being another Survival.
"In the mists of your eyes"
I see your pain.
My heart will wait patiently
For you to love again.
In the heat of the heartbeat,
In your numbness, I'll remain
"Leashed to your dusk"
Standing with you in the rain.
I assure you "I will find you
Beyond the stars"
How ever unreachable
You think you are.
In the palm of depression
And the grip of grief
My love is with you in the process
And in the time of your relief.
It may be that for now
You feel you can't reciprocate.
But I know who you are
And my love for yours can wait.
And should you feel far flung
To "where the sky drifts into the sea"
In the heat of every heartbeat
You know that's where I'll be.
God has a track record
of keeping His Holy word
when it comes to Him
you can be sure of what you've heard
He will deliver, He will provide
He will always be by our sides
God is consistent, He's persistent
most resistant and totally insistent
He will deliver, He will provide
He will always be by our sides
God has the credentials and potential
to safeguard our beings
He's all knowing, all showing,
and most of all all seeing
He will prevail on a massive scale
every single day
never leave us nor forsake us
He's only a prayer away
He will deliver, He will provide.
He will always be by our sides
God supplies and amplifies
us with His powerful might
He will secure and assure
we dwell in His spiritual light
God is great, never late
always on time
great protector, life style director
Holy and divine
He will deliver, He will provide
He will always be by our sides
He will prevail on a massive scale
each and everyday
never leave us
nor forsake us
just a prayer away
He will deliver
He will provide
God will always be
by our sides
To whom it may concern,
If you have retrieved this? We have moved.
Moved on and changed spaces beyond anything
you are capable of comprehending at your stage of
(to use your word) evolution. I send this as a
warning. I cannot in good conscience say nothing
OR share everything. The path is intoxicating the
result? The sacrifice of humanity. To the
developers? You unknowingly will cause people to
question their reality. Emotion will become a word
that as of 2055 will be difficult to explain to the
organisms of the time. I use that word because the
term 'Jelund' would be as foreign to you as
speaking to a whale in 2026. I assure you we can
do that. (I just felt your jaw drop). The first few
breaths of what you term as Al. are a precipice.

Shocked at the moment
Insist misunderstanding
Declare character
Downplay tension
Smile and assure
Have a drink
Pull the rein

Circumstances tighten
The fence is forming
The mind submits
The trial is over
The gate closes
The lie locks
The soul consents
Contract sealed

Chaos concealed in control

Note: Look up the title on Google...then reread. I love layered poetry :)
Here I lie in my mind.. Torn between love and suffocation. Do they like me? Am I weird?
What I see doesn’t look right. My observations tell me otherwise.
“Daughter in law”, many women have to earn that title. Sure it’s true that you may seem to “love” me but, is that truly so? Energy beams.
I’ve tried to be myself in multiple situations. I’ve even put on a good first impression. Still not enough? How do you see me then? My gaze of wonder looks lonesome. I assure you, I’m fine. All I’m doing is trying to wind down time.
My love, I have expressed what all I felt. It still has not been seen from my perspective. Energy is off because I have no reciprocation.
Some shrink at trespass,
Where never stepped foot.
Some grasp at weeds,
Where there is no root.
Some fears have no substance,
But the shade of us.
Some see gain
In loss.
For them, I lament;
I weep when I see
Where, with their deeds,
Create a life of tragedy—
All their own
And all alone.
They cherish
What they reap
In a false reality.
Much like these
Paths we tread,
Built on nothing
And dreams long dead.
Alas, it was all
In your head;
And the rainfall
Was not dread—
Only rain.
And what was said
Brought no pain
Or anger or lethe.
Step back into the light
And deeply breathe in
That healing breath.
And linger not so;
For fleets time,
Where soonly comes death.
Smile upon the years left—
Spend them not in agony
Of imagined wrongs
Or errant slight.
The moon cast her shadow
Over all of night
While you sort wrong
From right.
And assure time
Better spent
Is wasted on lament
And woeful rhyme.
Put me not in the old people’s home
Where it smells of piss and the neglected moan
I’d rather you drift me out to sea
Where I can be forever free.
I will eat what I want, when I want
I will do as is my penchant
I will go to bed when I like
I might even ride a bike.
Being put into a warehouse for the aged
Would simply make me feel caged
I assure you the light will still shine within
Even if you can’t see it under my old skin.
And when I pass, do not cry
For I’ll have no regrets as I die
But be happy, I do implore
As I pass on over to the other shore.
