I remember a place
a place of being a child
where being a child was a fun
as eating pizza and playing arcade games.
This was a well know place
every child knew it's name.
For the moment you walked
through the revolving doors
bright lights displayed every game.
There were slide with twists and turns
even a ball pit and the best part was
the childhood memories of all of this.
To be successful in life, one has to:
control his emotions
minimize his needs
subjugate his ego
acquire deep knowledge of the things he is after
work hard
never give up
and
always stay within his physical and noetic* capabilities!

BEING BEAUTIFULLY BONDED
Let’s live lovely life,
Wonderfully woven with
Our oneness’ onement:
God’s graceful guidance growing;
We, wishfully, well woven:-
Thanks for being you
Thank you for the joy you bring
Thanks for being true
Thank you for wearing my ring
I thank you for everything
There are hundreds of our people homeless living on our streets,
the exhausted, sad faces of those in defeat
Wrapped in a blanket, just trying to survive as people pass by
Not even knowing that they are alive.
No shoes on their feet, clothes dirty and in rags, they carry their memories in
carrier bags
These were once people who once had a life, a home and a job. Maybe some children and a wife.
They might be veterans who had to fight in some war-torn places
But now, they are shadows without any faces
Sleeping in that blanket on the floor could be a sister or a brother, maybe a forgotten father or even a mother
This is happening now. It’s not from a book. They are in plain sight, but we turn our heads away and we refuse to look
Walking out for a meal or maybe a dance, we don’t give them a second thought or even a glance.
Not all the homeless people want to live a life on the street they want a home and a warm bed to sleep
If you ever see someone who is homeless, don’t turn your head to look the other way. Stop and ask if they are OK.
It Is All In The Mix.
So Important.
So Better-Than-That
All Stirred Up: Plop.
Skip The Decisions,
You Know Everything!
I Mean, You're Better
Than That, Since You Don’t...
Sand On The Shore
Sandy Sun-Drenched Beaches...
Breathing Shore.
You Don’t Know Everything.
That's What The Ocean's For.
You Are Stupid
Deliberately On Purpose.
For Balance.
Don't Be So Hard On Yourselves.

TO BEING AS IF A DOVE FROM ABOVE
Life’s more
than living
it is also giving
and receiving
before leaving
all you had to bear
and even adore
before closing
its living door
with nothing more
to be given or to share
and the greatest more of all
should be how you had a ball
in the given task from God above
that always kept you in labors of love:
so
go
and live a life of love
as if
God’s
dove
sent
from
above;
life lived as God’s bird of whom all have heard:-
Being beautiful
Is not a curse
If you're also
Beautiful inside
TO BEING FORGIVEN AND GIVING FORGIVENESS
You’ve abandoned me;
You must be so lonely.
Love for you, crowds me.
And you cannot uncrowd it;
For it’s of God’s given grace:-
I’ve forgiven you,
God navigated me to:-
Can’t you forgive me?
I am sorry for my sins;
God’s forgiven me; can’t you?!
Being Vased In Love
Like gardened flowers,
Be in glorious blooming:
Scenting life with love.
LAUGHING EYES
by Frank Daub
Girl with laughing eyes
beneath the slate-blue skies
and melting sun
I see the excitement of your being
Shimmer --
Reflecting youth into a gentle kind
of image
Meaningful.
The rain of April skies completes
Your soul.
IN BEING FLOWERS OF HIS
Be in God’s life-vase;
Your petals, ever blooming,
His bouquets of love:-
We all like to be useful
especially when God's the architect
to be used by the divine master
brings pleasure to your intellect
Openness to the voice of God is a must
to be sure you're in His perfect will
walking in step in closeness to your saviour
learning from Him all you need to be still
Be patient in prayer; wait upon Him
for His leading, as God's the royal king
full of majesty, authority and power
lifts your heart upwards, following
Take in all of God's divine character
portray the Lord in every aspect of life
so people would see Him in all of you
read His word as it cuts you like a knife
Being His instrument isn't always easy
it can bring suffering and pain at times
but your comfort is, the Lord knows
like a craft poet rakes you to smooth rhymes
bereavement
of beauty:
best
bodies
become
broken
bottles
He's everywhere
being the answer to
everything & is
the ultimate quotient
Omnipotent displaying
more than sufficient
omniscience
The run on sentence
that makes sense
of everything
The word of all words
a part yet connected
to everything
The maker
of all dreams
lucid & vague alike
The light
in the darkness
but also the darkness
that covets the light
Witness to every reality
with an eye for
all potentialities
This sight for sore eyes
is both the pupil
& teacher
A preacher
with many dimensions
using planes
like churches
It comes as no surprise
to those that learned
to see deeply with
inner eye urges
The immersion
offers you a peek
behind the curtains
unveiling what lies
therein
There are no lies in him
for he personifies truth
in the form of matter
It's the explanation
at the top of the ladder
after questioning
every step that matters
