Best Rephrased Poems

Is to borrow a quote from a hero plagiarism or is it in honor of his memory
Is to but recite the intelligence of a general man forgotten to forever etch it in history

“Have you noticed the pounding against the opening of the cavern,” Lumi asked him?
     “I have,” Joulupukki responded.  “Whatever it is seems to be trying to force their way in.  I would say they are throwing large rocks or...

Good legacy is one of a kind treasure
That will last for generations
With the bucket of love we all share
Shall remain forever

We listened with our hearts, eyes and minds
To the knowledge you have shared from within
As war of peace shall escalate then
Prejudices and biases shall come...

In his family being last 
A teenager was considered outcast
But he spent time in fields so vast
Thoughts of his Creator left him aghast

All his siblings were employed 
While he to shepherding was deployed
He yearned to see military operation
Yet got reproved on any expedition

On an auspicious...

It's true though. 
Any happiness you felt began with you first.
You didn't wait, you rephrased it as a smile.
Straightforward really.
You felt a way because my passion could never justify. 
Only reinforce what you felt to begin with.
You felt a way because you respect yourself to...

THE MAKING OF US IS NOT RIGHT FOR US

I am not for that
Though I do not remember giving of suck
From my mother’s breast
I was not made to be drinking, ingesting cow’s milk

THE MAKING OF US IS NOT RIGHT FOR US

We
do flow
on our own,
as we do draw
from the universe
by pure resonation,
thoughts, albeit shaped by mind.
The thought is there but we are not!
Rephrased; we are there but ego not!

holding us captive, in a trance
enmeshed amidst illusions.
Lost therein, we stumble:
refuge in silence,
where we...

“surrender requires a surrenderer ...
meditation needs a meditator ...
the child exuberant, a wonderer!”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Spoilt
for choice,
there being
multitude paths
to connect with God,
for in truth, He does all,
thereby all paths illusions,
in as appearing as practice
comforting mind that we are doing
whereas all the doing is done by God.

Fret not oh...

Eternally forgotten by you,
didn't happiness start glowing
on that face lovelier than grace?
Eternally forgotten by you,
can words be rephrased
while listening to their meaning?
Can they be easily erased?
Do they become ashes in a blaze?

Our dedication even surpassed passion,
we preferred company over kisses;
we never realized they were given...

for those who write of nothing but “their” god
contribute to an ever growing wad
of crumbled thoughts and idle promises
comprised of all the do’s and don’ts and did’s
rephrased in rhapsodic search for cause
old lions licking at their thorn scarred paws
unable to deduce that beauty’s rose
is best...

Virtue when expressive,
deafens bad intention

Its voice to live beyond,
excuses and retort

A minstrel plays a song unsung,
as sages rise to dance

All words rephrased in lyric tones
—the devil mute and gone

Albright left our earthly night 

To a place where women help each other 

Be she minister, president or mother 

Be she feeble or has might 

 
She misspoke it was not woke: 

Those who’ll help you not 

Woman to woman may you rot 

Deplorable folk...
