"Shifts.."
In perception
Seem to happen
Unpredictably
Immediately as
Nothing appears..
Astoundingly
Without instruction
Without fanfare...

Dawn's Calyx Woke Her And She Saw Pink Explosions
Dawn's calyx woke her and she saw pink explosions
As if hot flaming rays across the window sill
She woke me, I was brainstorming some implosions
Laughed together, love was in the pinkest pill
But day cried out, I am now tantalizing you
Your hearts are combining but my golden rays shift
Radiant glazes that give you more than your due
I work with love, in tandem we paint in to uplift
At the beach morning sun again touched our souls
As the ocean's strong waves washed our lazy feet
We marveled, life astoundingly joined our goals
Must have been Heaven's lovely will that we would meet.
That day, in the afternoon we vowed to wed.
That glorious night, we slept in a silken bed.

A Greek sister, from my past,contacted me.
It was as if she were here,not across the sea!
What a difference an email astoundingly can make.
In a world of indifference, here came love not hate,
Touch the many souls as you do really care for.
On each holiday,a remembrance, forever more!

Astoundingly weird
Socially awkward
Perpetually confused
Intentionally refused
Internally broken
Externally outspoken
Crazily insane
So many problems ,
can't explain,
when i start being me.

Rhymes of limes and coppers dew,
Chimes the lines on paper that blew.
Fleeing a sprite of the thriving night,
Eats upon the core, dimming the light.
She glides slowly to the plummeting falls,
Leaving behind her regrets she never calls.
At the edge of life and the nightly cast,
A beauty leaned to the far end of her last.
Wind bracing every fault of the hero she saw,
Looking above to her gait of lustful sights in awe.
She reaches out but fails to grasp her destiny,
Slowly towering her fate, she’d show this vanity.
This beautiful fae you’ve only known for one phase,
Asks you to join in this astoundingly graceful gaze.
“Wanna fly?”
Her last hair that stands on the edge starts to slip.
She is instantly dropped down in a loss of grip.
This lovely being of eternal sights, horns a vanish,
As the night is no longer dim of this starved ravish.
An awakening day has found her sprite of beauty,
Living up to a destiny that solstice opposes gloomy.
Blowing lines on paper doth chime,
A dew of copper limes that rhyme.

Body laid out dressed in white;
Dressed to the tea, yet in this reality;
Laid up hope emotions dismissed astoundingly;
Wake up! Wake up!
We Place One last kiss;
His chest not moving, hands crossed;
He's, he's gone;
On to a new illusion;
Wake up, wake up!
Don't just fly away, don't t just leave us;
Earth horizontal asleep;
So Soul and Spirit reaching up high heaven he seeks;
We miss him even now as he sleeps...

Pure Magic
Rain laden storm clouds nurture mangroves
Inside man or beast live symbiotic microbes
Deceptions entraps the devout and fanatical
Believers defy agnostics depose the rational
Invisible waves illuminate dark cosmic space
Migrating essences and agelessness embrace
Life harboring galaxies astoundingly hypnotic
The universe is a manifestation of pure magic

Alone at four this silence my amazing ally
The quiet is astoundingly amplified
One person always awakes adroitly
Once again annoys, but I aspire to align
One accolade accomplished; I didn't scream
I can only be accessible if
Alone again adjust my thoughts to God

Garden fresh and delicious to the core
Fattens before my wondering eyes
When ripe almost falls off the vine
Trumps supermarket produce
Astoundingly tasty
Easily frozen
Laying in her
Cozy pod
Happy

The Big Crunch Hypothesis
in times past it all had felt so distant
I was an aphid in an unkempt garden of eden
and my eyes, they were far too dim, too weak
and the view was far too vibrant
and the stars,
however bright they glistened,
resided light years away
and the oceans, though they beckoned
had seemed far too deep to swim
and my world was so astoundingly vast
and I
was so incredibly small
and then...
as if in the time it takes to exhale...
the all expansive universe retracted like elastic
a shimmering haze of the Milky Way now shrouds my city like a fog
and in the morning I brush the comets from my hair
the sun, once so divinely elusive
serves as a lamp on my bedside table
Saturn’s miraculous rings adorn my hands and decorate my ears
and the Earth?
my whole world in its entirety
exists suspended amidst the freckles on your cheek

A liberal mind for love
seeks Earth's nurturing nest origins
astoundingly opportune for producing healthy ego-nutritional eggs.
A conservative risk taker,
faced with ego's opportunity
to fly away from mortal risk
to autonomous long-term, or at least short-term, self survival
or fight to WinEgo/LoseEco-Other pyric victory,
thereby sees ego's Win/Win in-between opportunity
to produce future cooperative eco-eggs
of self/other-perpetuating identity,
A narrower, conserving, view
of Earth's universal health opportunities
and a widening interdependent liberal love potential.
We might become both
ego and eco healthier,
more left non-insula nature embodied
and right amygdala co-passionate spirit soaring
to imagine
and support both physical/metaphysical views,
held most lovingly together
as WinWin eco/ego-centering integrity,
symbiotic nonfight/nonflight opportunity
for cooperatively mentored solidarity
in health/wealth mutual service
Negotiations BiLateral
and/or internally BiCameral;
Conscious
and/or UnConscious;
ReConscious memory
and/or PreConscious imagination.

This amazing truth blows the mind
the eternal God who created everything
speaks here personally to His prophet
to tell His own what He did bring
astoundingly God knew us before birth
for He formed us in the womb
but scripture speaks of even before
the Lord knew us before we'd room
God in eternity past knew all things
even before creating us in every aspect
He, in particular, knew all of to know
this is the God of all time to connect
In every respect, God set us apart
for He has a purpose for everyone
we all need to heed His every word
walking in step with the heavenly one
This is the great God we adore
for before time He certainly was
and after time God will always be
this is our God with no flaws
(The word of the Lord came to me, saying,
“Before I formed you in the womb I knew you
before you were born I set you apart;
I appointed you as a prophet to the nations.”)
Jeremiah 1: 4,5 (NIV)

Do we have someone around us
A guide thru life's tough times
Maybe someone to take us away
As we lose the pain forever and a day.
Is there a tunnel with a white light
That when we go, it's astoundingly bright
Is it the end, can there be another round
Maybe it's just cremation, or buried in the ground.

Different flowers,
White, blue, pink and red.
They all receive rain showers
And grow astoundingly on flower bed
Charming rose buds
Coming from different bulbs.
Charming blossoms,
Hiding the bareness of the soil.
Competing with their beauty.
Carnations, sweet peas, lotuses,
Lilies, daffodils, poppies and
Daisies. Oh! what a sweet smell!
From the isle of sweet William.
