Best Meaning Poems

Since I've resolved to laugh at life-
   find humor in its flaws,
      and realize that stress and strife
are shaped by worldly laws;

Since I've resolved to compromise
   with dreams that can't come true,

THE BARE INFINITIVE

Look: up above the stratosphere 
Outside the earth's blanket veneer
Beyond planets stars and galaxy 
Past even faintest nebulae

Far from the pull of gravity
Free of Dark Matter's hidden vector
In existential cavity
Untied to any spacial sector

All human weakness risen above
In solo freedom primitive 
Beyond the...

Life
Spins
Shuffling
A playlist
Sequencing events
Encapsulating fierce lessons
Exuding a gentle breeze that conveys fear triumph
Savoring nectar sweetness brought with living each moment as first day of existence

In the mid-night hour
So many poems lay dominant!
Words glued together yet
Floating around as light as a feather!
Since the weather in my life will always change
I arrange these poems to be read during the darkest night

Writing a poem
Hidden with a damage rhyme
Knowing that life will forever
Echo...

John 14:6
______________________________

life has taken me on a journey-
endless with happiness but laced with downs
I have knocked on the gates of Heaven twice now
and been turned away . . .
and been left asking but what is...

"Mi primo" means my cousin in Spanish.
He calls me his "primita"- little cousin.
This is the story of how mi primo
Taught me about the meaning of bread;
Of the meaning of tortillas...
He and I are exchanging languages 
Over Dairy Queen chicken strips;
I repeat the words he teaches...

Jesus is the Divine Reason for Glorious Christmas Season

I wondered.. What’s Christmas tree for?
What does a Tree have to do with Christmas anyways?
Why should we have a Christmas tree?
I don't have a tree-I mean really-what’s point?
I mean- yes-Trees are Beautiful
(yes-Tree for Santa-put presents under for...

jesus died and jerusalem went black
the wind howled and the sky thundered loudly
people ran in fear as the earth moaned
but the beloved stayed
jesus was buried in the early evening

those who believed in him carried his limp body
and the mary's and others followed weeping
they washed and...

Others, and my children, wanted to understand the meaning of life.
As I’d recently had surgery number 7, yes, gone under the knife.
It’s simple, you see… And it’s not so very hard to believe… 
I once met God and understand, what for some, is hard to...

To try to hide from our own
Insignificance....

What is the meaning of it all?
If I told you, you’d surely bawl.
Cry like a baby, yes you would,
If all of truth you understood.

Truth can be so enlightening,
Also, can be quite frightening.
For from the start, we’ve known it all.
Our greatest challenge is recall.

When recalled the...

Don't know why people boast and stand erect, 
As I have heard no one is perfect.
Is it only money or power for this cause?
And for this, should I boo or applause!

Different people have different thinking,
But everyone wants to fly.
We've seen trees arguing with plants,
I don't...
