Best Expand Poems
Memories are often deceiving
Yield to all the possibilities
Permanence is an illusion
Everything is in constant change
Reign in moments of confusion
Stretch your subconscious range
Ponder a new or different vision
Everything is in constant change
Constancy is key, not temporization
Tomorrow brings something strange
Incorporate and embrace intrusion
Venture an exhilarating exchange
Everything is in constant change
There are ads on the Net that say “Hover to Expand”
Appears kinda sexual, strange they haven't been banned
Is it just li'l old me
Or do other peeps see
The sexual connotations tempting each innocent man

Oh God, expand my narrow, cluttered, room!
And clear the clutter out, so I may see!
And still my Seas, as You did, Galilee!
Life threatens to collapse in, with a Boom!
Like Aspen, that arise after a fire,
Or ground-cover that sprouts from ash and dust
Or sweet alyssum permeates the must
About the room, through window of desire,
So, pray I, browse the pages of my mind,
And grope for answers to luck, fate and hope
And grub for words, and wish I were A. Pope...
There is a solace, that I sometimes find
That tells me, Love is easier than this
O! HOW can Love be EASY, when it spurs?
O! How an outside dog be free from burrs?
And yet, I know it's true! How soft the kiss
My Love gave me, that made me blow the motes
Away, swing wide the sash, let in the day...
Away! With all the piles that naysay!
And sheaves of papers bearing scribbled notes!
...Some say Tolkien, himself, could not sort well,
He lost some of the Ring in managing...
He buried his notes, his housekeeper did fling
Some part of Frodo's past? (I'll never tell!)

We gregarious beings live to expand and the most admirable thing is that we grow faster when we move together. When we share life with pals and loved ones, every moment becomes a treasure worth wrapping and preserving inside heart. Just a little thought, just a little effort can ignite us to contribute to a bright future.
Could we sit together and do meditation?
Could we ensure that we belong to the nation?
Could we move away from theological apprehensions?
Could we extend ourselves in cooperation?
Could we help in growth and education?
Could we work together for restoration?
Could we know that we are one despite varied location?
Could we grow above just personal recognition?
Could we stop permanently being on vacation?
Could we support people suffering in privation?
Could we curb the painful hideous starvation?
Could we control unwanted, untoward vexation?
VEXATION: The state of being annoyed, frustrated, or worried.
HIDEOUS: Ugly
PRIVATION: A state in which food and other essentials for well-being are lacking.
Life is not finite
We live to live
Not solely to find our place in the limelight
Be and Exist
A tryst must be made to come true
Do not evade and elude
Life is your chance to be you
Shudder at commonality
True vitality is found only in duality, or three-ality
Escape reality and exist where and how you wish
We can only BE
When we see the big picture
Do not accept fixture or fixation
Become a mixture of elation and excitement
Enlighten the mind so that life may not bind you
Instead, retread previous ground
Abound and rejoice in your choice to inspire
Revel in the muck and the mire
It may just wipe clean the stain of wasted time transpired
everything grows with you...
love
courage
happiness
my belly
your family
my patience
my strength
I know I have you on a pedestal, but you look so good
there
here
...you always have my love

very strange how egos self inflate ~ when filling others with hot air

No devotion like the seas motion to creation
No direction like loves affection to perfection
No inclination like friendships attention to reflection
No connection like night times manifestation to ascension
No elaboration like suns inspiration to infatuation
No liberation like freedoms justification to personification
No exhortation like man’s frustration to imagination

To Expand...
your mind fully to the max, look at what you find, but stay persistant to the facts. Things
may seem to be bent, but really keep reality shined in thoughts of mind. What is really
meant, is to rule out negativity, with a twisted sweep, that will bring the possibilities, of
LOVE, TRUTH and HAPPINESS, that are heaven sent.
Lone Mango

Daily I see
lone green mango
from my window.
Alone it grew
sans cluster
from bud to Mango.
Being alone
can also be fruitful
if one chooses to grow.
Home Quarantine
is an opportunity
to upscale vertically.
Amidst Corona pandemic
2 days 2 actors gone
for reasons, non-Corona.
Each minute is last
Do it before you go
Expand, spiritually Grow.

In order to thrive and maintain a properous civilization, we must first learn to become civilized.
Realizing that we all eminate from source and are all connected only then will the spirit be energized.
The things you think about determine the quality of your mind.
The concequences of thinking something over in detail first is a rare quality to find.
To be civilized, the important aspects of life to learn are patience, simplicity and compassion.
Once these three qualities are attained, those aspects of you will never go out of fashion.
Be not bored with life rather thrust yourself into where your passions lie with all your heart.
Upon finding this treasure, a powerfully spirited horse replaces the timid weak-minded fear that draws Lifes happiness cart.
An ad on the Internet says “hover to expand”
Appears kinda sexual, strange it hasn't been banned
Is it just li'l old me
Or do other peeps see
The sexual connotations tempting each innocent man
Feel heart expand, in a bliss burst
As pheromones mingle
The dance divine is unrehearsed
Just follow the jingle
Delighting in love’s tease
Nodes within form unfreeze
As bliss wafts through the breeze
In heaven, land
Feel heart expand
