Best Realization Poems

At what point do you realize
it’s all moving in the same direction -
in a flowing pulse that cannot be dammed, that;
collective hearts do march in rhythmic time
to a common drumbeat tolling time
upon all roads with perils and parades?

it surely wasn’t yesterday,
too busy today --
who cares...

As light dances red to horizon's end
So do we while approaching last breath
To complete life's arc with its final bend
and contemplate stillness in silent death
How quickly we'll flee from our past design
Find order in reflections we ponder
and struggle with our memory's decline
To lose direction, begin...

A rose is guarded from prying hands
By thorns along the stem
Reality makes the truth known
A heart can be kept safe 
From those who wish it maimed
By icy spikes of bitterness 
And distrust
Thorns are beautiful
As are my own version of such a Godsend
Serrated barbed wire
That hurts...

The water is becoming clear
No more muck
No more confusion

Complete clarity
Complete grasp

A fierce ache within my chest 
an intense crushing feeling
The mere thought of you has 
my being vibrating from 
searing pain
How foolish to trust in another
 "I'm not like the rest!"....

Physically...the scars I can handle....
it's the scars upon my 
Essence I...

Real eyes can recognize these real lies
Lies he, in a landscape barren
Bearin’ a false teachin’ he believed in
 
Deceived by these elders, he felt like the bait
Bate the result as they betray the whole class of oh-eight
Ate the lessons; trusted;...

In a garden that is no longer mine,
My absence of her hits home
And rings of true, painful reality....

dawn’s stillness
early lightfall
at my feet
my body aches
I slip out of bed
I shiver
the angels have fallen
a part of me has died
a part of me is gone
left with realization
my love
I’ll never see her again
my love
left with realization
a part of me is gone
a part of me has died

Music's loudly playing.
Beneath moon dancing.
Tune so entrancing.

Mind's solitarily thinking.
Beneath stars standing.
Afar from rejoicing.

Time's gradually ticking.
Beneath nightskies sitting.
Cries begin echoing.

Heart's silently aching.
Beneath clouds sleeping.
Loud inner feelings.

Dream's gently consuming.
Beneath blanket experiencing.
Transit of fantasizing.

She's unwillingly awakening.
Beneath all wishing.
Fallen into realizing....

close your eyes to see 
the real truth hidden
inside you .......

My Christmas Gift 2022

Though I've prayed for it often 
I assumed the Universe would neglect

I've preached Radical Acceptance
And truly thought I achieved said practice
As days continued I realize I...
