Best Adoptable Poems
The summer sky, awash with ghostly clouds
Seems open to imaginings tonight
The likes of which those of the common clay
Deem it folly to conceive.
Clothed in possibilities
This world we move through mutes my mind
With dull amazement, presented in its simple glory.
Of this, No-Mind names the attitude
That grants the gift to see with eyes
From which the scales have briefly fallen.
No frame of reference is adoptable
No meaning save what can be felt
At rest behind the wispy veils.
A Truth exists which can be understood,
But never grasped and held.
Real simplicity seems to lie beyond the ways
Of ever-clever Man.
Nature and Her Universe have it of themselves,
While we can only feel its breath in passing,
Its reflection filling the world, unseen.
I can feel the edges of the Something
That brings me peace at times
When I run out of cluttered thoughts,
But in the end it eludes me still,
Denying me a fullness which might sate forever after.
To catch it, to hold it is as vain as chasing sunlight
Scattering over still, deep pools.
With what sort of attitude can one approach
These things so pure they surpass
Our hearts' ability to encompass them,
Our minds' ability to force the secret into view?
Like squeezing dust into diamonds.
Still the universe and all within it
Shines on just as clearly all the while,
And one fundamental Fact remains:
Nothing changes, except that everything changes.
Deliberation is functionable, actable or actionable task.
Denouement is defendable, chargeable or restrictable mask.
Delicacy is cureable, correctable or subjectable bask,
Demonstration is testable, referable or retractable ask,
Driftwood is adoptable, retreatable or careable Rask.
Learn from the wisdom around you
That replenishes when replenishing is due
For it is dire that there be the indemnity
For the unexalted integrity
That it may live once again
And distinguish itself from every feign
As the practice indelible
Adoptable, teachable and inheritable
To be truthful and honorable
And for it be reputable
To value and respect
To invest then expect
To lead and to participate
To correct and to appreciate
To be passionate and wholehearted
And finish all that is started
Feel that sense of duty
Wrapped in its fulfilling beauty
To cure from wilt
And to preserve good as built
As a reasonable channel of your diligence
That its reward may influence
All eyes that see
To want to be
Their litter mates left one at a time
Except for Sass and Brass
They were worried; were they adoptable?
Would anyone want them?
Don’t worry their mother said. God has a plan.
They were taken together
To a home with an older couple.
They got cuddling and love.
Best of all they cuddled with each other.
Just like when they were first born.
God’s plan was great for them.

So many children are waiting in the wings
For being adopted is their thing.
Afraid to make plans for they don’t know
What lies ahead - their future is something
That they do dread.
Some move from home to home and never
Finding where they belong.
Many were abandoned and left on the street
With just their clothes on their backs and no food to eat.
Some were newborns left at police stations
Fire stations , and at church doors
Never to see their parents any more.
They have dreams like so many others
But they would prefer to have parents
And a sister or brother.
A person that they could say that- this is my mom
And this is my dad and I’m proud and awfully glad.
That I have parents as so many other children do
And knowing what it is to be loved like you.
We are all adoptable if given a chance
Look in our hearts and you’ll understand.
We don’t know why we was abandoned
Or what we had done wrong, but with
Parents is where we belong.
I’ll wipe away my tears so that you could see
The love and pain that’s inside of me.
If you can’t have children or have a kind heart
Then adoption is where you can start.
