And not to go to...

Premium Member Bells
Bells, bells, sound of bells fall now and then in my ears,
Their tone and timbre varying, sometimes singing, 
Sometimes jarring, sometimes rising to a sweet crescendo. 
Clanging and clashing, tinkling, and jingling

Every day I wake to the sound of the tolling of bells,
From the church...

The coming and going of the seasons give us more than the springtimes, summers, autumns, and winters of our lives. It reflects the coming and going of the circumstances of our lives like the glassy surface of a pond that shows our faces radiant with...

Diamonds
Some people put on a show; they out and out lie.  You know real friends will tell you the truth, nicely.  Like rainbows in the sky, friends are a welcome sight; like rainbows, friends mix sunshine with the rain.

glossy,  sparkly
pretending,  daring,...

you entered my world 
through an unopened door 
dazzled with my mind catering 
to my thoughts I'd wondered 

your extreme motive night and day 
desperately trying to focus above the old man 
whom desires attention unsettling tantrums 
while throwing around muscle and mayhem 

cautioning my...

Hope lingers in the fold of  Angel wings
 Symbol, here on Earth, of all things gentle hearted
You carry us when all in life is darkening

You steady us and guide our feet from faltering
Although  we’re often sad and leaden hearted
Hope lingers in the fold...

Let’s say the number 1
iconically speaks in Left-Yang Universal Language,
root of ecosystemetrics,

while PlaceHolder (0)
bicamerally dreams in Right-YinDiPolar ReGenerative PolyCultural Action,
health-flow of autonomic, enthymematic thought and awareness
influenced by feelings of EarthCentric  BiCameral Consciousness
as Plan A,
so number 1 is actually each Ego’s Plan B holon of...

There once was a species
with one sacred EarthTribe Vocation
provoking polyphonic yearnings,
polypathic necessities
responsibilities
authority spaces

There once was a NewTribe health plan
divinely humane for ecodancing,
ego listening cooperative well-said choreography
to sing GoodNews wondrous anthems
of global theological geography
to worship politically empowered
ecologically recreative
sacred vocation 
multicultural nutrition
creolizing communion,
and not sing BadNews 
privileged...

“Mother,” she cried, “You cannot crowd everything in your new space.
Ridding yourself of some of it is something you must face.”
I was opening a small red box as she began to speak.
When I saw the contents that it held my aging legs turned weak.
I’d put...

It Does Not Interest Me What You Do
I want to know what you ache 
for
And if you dare to dream of 
meeting your heart’s longing
It doesn’t interest me how old 
you are
I want to know if u'll risk 
looking like a fool for love 
For Ur dream, for the adventure 
of being...

If My Tongue Were a Bird
If my tongue were a bird it would be white and pure.
It would sail to the end of the heavens bringing joy to those near.
It would creep up upon danger and warn others the risk.
Cautioning mankind that a fire is spotted in the distance.

If my...

Washington
Wall Street
Hollywood
Nashville

Where regurgitation overflows
And Barmecidal bait boxes
Morph their delights by the hour

All the while

Gluttony's promised feast
Ignorant of cyclic famine
Awaits the pernicious fate-agent
Scouting to burrow like a weevil
The new crop of innocence

Trusting destiny to the winds of chance
Confident redolent success smells
French perfume
Garlic enhanced delicacies
Fresh tanned...

I circle the familiar oak, though no more do I recognize the landscape
I search longingly for any semblance of memories cross the expanse  
Darkness meant to protect erodes, the land cannot hold its branded shape
It's changed again. Crumbling structures and consuming sinkholes advance

The Invitation
It doesn't interest me what you do for a living, I want to know what you ache for, and if you

Securing Your Strengths
Securing your strengths  
Encased deep inside
Lift every veil
Found in yourself
Accept all the extra
Cautioning panic
Treat it with trust 
Understand the menu
Affirm the plea
Laugh off the dull
Invite the alumni 
Zero in on the glitz
Act out each stanza
Triple the hunt
Ignore the anti
Option the bravado
Never give up again
