An Awaken Dream
An Awaken Dream
A dream has come to life
With defiance
to the compelling world
Strutting into plain and places
stalking courage and resolve
Befriending friends and foes
Defeating fiends then men
Huffing while toppling the night
romancing faith
just to oust fate
aligning the sun
to set tomorrow
and always

Awaken Screaming
confusion slips into our beds
games the minds of gentle heads
twists familiars to never-beens
personas dark mask every scene
far away from hearth and home

Dark Forest
I remember what I am.
So do they.
Cognitive dissonance,
Keeps them at bay.
Illusions tend to
Bind with lies.
Look with your ears,
Not with your eyes.
Listen to your words,
What do they say?
They might just set you
On your path today.
Your soul's purpose
Is hard to find.
Think with your heart,
Not with your mind.
Pain helps us
Find our way.
Don’t hold tight,
Lest it lead you astray.

Awaken in the Dark My Love Father’s Light Shines On You
Awaken in the Dark My Love Father’s Light Shines On You
You whom are purposefully hued, beloved
Our Father’s light shines on you
Beautiful the light that shines through your eyes
Awaken in the dark my love Father’s light
Shines bright on you
You whom are His daughter viewed
Blessed voiced silver cord
Beautiful eyes melatonin
From your soul to your mouth hallelujah

A Scroll Of Unseen Waters
The Scroll Of Unseen Waters
Come, you who carry fire in your bones and salt in your tears…?
Children of the drum, the dusk, the dust, and the dawn…?
From mountain root to river vein… the land remembers one song…
But the cup that overflows can never be filled…?
And the tongue that speaks before listening forgets the

Awaken Spring
Spring did not want to appear
as winter kept her nice and warm
covered by his coat of white
it was to comfortable to wake up
it meant work for her
she had gotten to comfortable
the trees began to bud slowly
upset with spring unwillingness
the flower bulbs peeked out
wondering what was keeping spring
the sun shone brightly to wake her
so slowly

Awaken the Giant: A Tribute to Swami Vivekananda
They called him Narendra first—
a boy with fire in his heart,
a mind that danced with stars
while the city slept in the dark.
His questions shook the ground:
"Where is God? What is the truth?"
"Don’t give me words or songs—
I want to feel it in my youth!"
Then came the storm—Ramakrishna—
a saint who smiled at the sky,
and said,
"You want

Awaken
For every dream, there's a nightmare.
For every nightmare, there’s a story.
For every story, there's a teller.
For every teller, there’s a person.
Within every person, there’s a soul.
Within every soul, there’s a light.
Within every light, there’s darkness.
Within all darkness, there’s a nightmare.
Rather you’re looking at the sun beaming down

Nations Awaken
The Great Sun Saturating,
Our DNA activating.
Twisting,
Translating.
Sifting,
Debating.
My mind is drifting.
Existing,
Through Realities.
Timelines Meant for Me,
To see where it Leads.
Within Each one,
I'm spreading seeds.
Sharing Love where I need,
Shining a Light for all to see.
Defeated by Expectations,
Exceeding limitations,
Nations Awaken.
Revealing the Truths,
To The Direction it's Taken.
Forsaken by Greed,
Hungry and Diseased.
Mistreated by Managers,
Teased by Majors,
Deceived by The Masters.
Our Anger,
Sought After.
TV Plastering
